Animated Matter

[Uytuun]

I've just finished reading an article called "Beyond Synchronicity: the Worldview of Carl Gustav Jung and Wolfgang Pauli" (Journal of Analytical Psychology, by Marialuisa Donati) and they explain how Jung and Pauli believed that "inorganic matter also possess[es] psychical components, even if these psychic elements are conceived as more primitive than those characterizing living beings". Synchronistic phenomena (e.g. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), they argue, are then manifestations of these primitive psychic components.

When I read that one of the first things that came to mind was the fact that in some other thread quite a few INTJs (including myself) described how they sometimes apologise to objects when they bump into them. Just absent-mindedness or might it have something to do with this psychic component of matter and our strong Ni?

The same logic can be found in soul theory where gross elements are closely connected to the natures of people and animals.

After despite the name organic we are made of metals and minerals like the “inanimate” things around us. So what gives the dolls movement? What allows us to puppeteer our forms as we do?

The answers should be obvious though enough doubt still exists to question the very principle of matter in motion and matter capable of self propulsion.

There are particles that exist, they are hard to detect but they are there. To synchronize with an “element” could allow an individual untold possibility. This philosophy is found in the occult and in many elements of martial arts, that their strength is not their own but resonates from the earth, fire, water, and wind.

I might have been a bit off of topic…
