The rift between mysticism and the modern sciences derives mainly from elements of scientism in the latter: certain branches of the natural sciences, broadly disavow subjective experience as meaningless, misunderstanding the limitations of the ancient languages. Physicist David Bohm speaking of consciousness expressing itself as matter and/or energy would be completely understood by the mystic, whatever his cultural/religious heritage. The mystic's attempt to describe cause and effect between one's internal state and the miraculous, hints at a close connection between psychological stability (ego transcendence) and the mysterious realm of causality quantum physicists are now deciphering - dimensional reality shifts that synchronize with states of consciousness and unconflicted choices.

Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) an Austrian theoretical physicist whose work lead to the development of modern theories of quantum mechanics. Pauli is notable for his work on spin theory and his work lead to the discovery of the so-called exclusion principle. The Pauli exclusion principle is one of the most important principles in physics, mainly because the three types of particles from which ordinary matter is made—electrons, protons, and neutrons—are all subject to it.

The Pauli effect was named after his bizarre ability to break experimental equipment simply by being in the vicinity. Pauli himself was aware of his reputation, and was delighted whenever the Pauli effect manifested.

Pauli sought consultation with Carl Jung following a nervous breakdown in 1931. The fellow Austrians had many a discussion and corresponded through letters about Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity.

Strangely enough, when his last assistant, Charles Enz, visited him at the Rotkreuz hospital in Zürich, Pauli asked him: Did you see the room number? It was number 137. Throughout his life, Pauli had been preoccupied with the question of why the fine structure constant, a dimensionless fundamental constant, has a value nearly equal to 1/137.

Pauli died in that room on 15 December 1958.

  • Wolfgang Pauli my greatest Physics idol.

  • Penrose + Bohm = Jung? watch?v=qAjC81MUe_I

    Pauli actually believed in the "Pauli effect" he said he thought it was a synchronistic effect. (watch the video above)

  • ya know whose face I would love to punch, that slime ball crook ben bernake, how do you sell your country down the fucking river and smile about it. What kind of skum does that lol

  • "...Our present development of consciousness is, however, so backward that in general we still lack the scientific and intellectual equipment for adequately evaluating the facts of telepathy so far as they have bearing on the nature of the psyche. I have referred to this group of phenomena merely in order to point out that the psyches attachment to the brain, i.e., its space-time limitation, is no longer as self-evident and incontrovertible as we have hitherto been led to believe."

  • "...Under certain conditions it [the psyche] could even break through the barriers of space and time precisely because of a quality essential to it, that is, its relatively trans-spatial and trans-temporal nature. This possible transcendence of space-time, for which it seems to me there is a good deal of evidence, is of such incalculable import that it should spur the spirit of research to the greatest effort..."

  • Great clip. Just wanted to add two things:

    1) Jung wasn't Austrian but Swiss (see description on side of page). A tiny thing but probably important.

    2) Pauli was the subject whose dreams form the core of Jung's amazing book 'PSYCHOLOGY AND ALCHEMY'. I was staggered when I found this out. Amazing.

  • Brilliant video alchemistra
