Wolfgang Pauli: The psychophysical problem (i.e., of synchronistic phenomena) also points in this direction.




Although in physics there is no talk of "self-reproducing archetypes" but of "statistical natural laws with primary probabilities," both formulations meet in the tendency to expand the old, narrower idea of "causality" (determinism) into a more general form of "connections" in nature.

The psychophysical problem (i.e., of synchronistic phenomena) also points in this direction.

This approach permits me to expect that the concepts of the unconscious will not go on developing within the narrow frame of their therapeutic applications, but that their merging with the general current of science in investigating the phenomena of life is of paramount importance for them. ~Wolfgang Pauli, Jung’s Last Years, Page 43.
