I have little to add to the articulate comments above... insightful and sincere, all of them. It is Jung who has opened up for me what I believe to be the true meaning of the life, sayings and actions of Jesus. He was an expression of the evolution of human consciousness. He came in "fullness of time"... a time when enough people had developed a depth of consciousness sufficient to discern and distinguish between the Conscious and the Unconscious. So they understood Jesus when he said such things as, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's"... or, "As a man thinkest in his heart, so he is"... or, from one of the Gnostic gospels, "Man if thou knowest what thou doest, thou art blessed; but if thou knowest not, thou art accursed, and a transgressor of the law." Human consciousness is still evolving today, and will continue to evolve... even in this time of mass culture and the "lowering of the mental threshold." No less than Jesus represented in his day, Jung represents in our day the occasional leaps forward which occur in that evolutionary process. It is still a gamble of the colossal magnitude whether the human race will destroy itself before the wisdom of the Unconscious prevails... or whether collective consciousness will be transformed and made wiser, to the saving benefit of all. Let us pray for the latter. As a priest, therapist and student of Jung for 40 years, I just stand in awe of his work and his genius.

This is precisely the conclusion of my 50 year investigation of the perplexities of meaningful coincidences (synchronicities). My findings are being published in three weeks - see Amazon - see my website - meaningful-coincidences.com The key to understanding the intracies of synchronicities I believe is not by accessing the contents of the collective unconscious - rather it is b y way of the conscious working in concert with the personal unconscious activating a persons' unique creative process.

Good God , how many would consciously dare it? Dreams and visions are usually thrust upon us , ready or not . This book is far more than genius. I have the Book of Kells which I bought in Dublin years ago. It is a mind boggling artistic enigma. But this art is different. It seems to encapsulate the antiquity of the soul. The writing is a magnum opus that burdens as it enlightens. I am left in a state of wonder.

Yet during the last several centuries of scientific thinking, the notion that one could know something about the future based on a dream, vision, or sensory impression has been a clear marker for mental illness rather than knowledge.

Lorenz, Helen 2006

“as any change must begin somewhere, it is the
single individual who will experience it.” Jung.
