137 - Arthur I. Miller [148]
“excluding Pauli himself”: Speech by Panofsky, December 10, 1945, CERN Archive Collection, Document PLC Bi 264.
“I feel, however, that I am European”: Pauli to Casimir, October 11, 1945: PLC3 [780].
“the same about the spiritual situation”: Pauli to Casimir, October 11, 1945: PLC3 [780].
“be brought under international control”: Pauli to Klein, September 4, 1945: PLC3 [767].
“when those ‘A-bombs’ were dropped”: Pauli to von Franz, May 17, 1951: PLC4 [1239].
Swiss citizen and a professor at the ETH: Enz (1997), May, 5 1946, document II.134, which contains Roth’s testimony on behalf of Pauli to Switzerland’s Supervisor of Schools.
“rotation are being tried”: P/J [32P], October 28, 1946.
Kepler’s mandala is static and cannot rotate: Pauli (1952), p. 234.
the limitations of modern science: Pauli (1952), p. 258.
“system of resonators”: Pauli (1952), p. 258.
space and time were relative to God: Pauli to Fierz, December 29, 1947: PLC3 [926].
“in the unconscious of modern man”: P/J [33P], December 23, 1947.
Jung was in the audience: P/J [33P], December 23, 1947. Pauli gave two lectures—February 28 and March 6, 1948. For a summary see P/J, pp. 203–209.
“a scientific theory of nature”: P/J, p. 204.
“and their archetypal foundations”: Jung (1948), p. 473.
“that amusing ‘Pauli effect’”: P/J [34P], June 16, 1948.
“quantitative and figurative—i.e., symbolic sense”: Pauli (1948a), p. 179.
“concepts were still relatively undeveloped”: Pauli (1948a), p. 179.
“‘background physics’ is of an archetypal nature”: Pauli (1948a), p. 170.
“into the world of physics”: Pauli (1948a), p. 180.
to translate the concept of spectral lines: Pauli (1948a), p. 182.
appears as two spectral lines: Pauli (1948a), p. 183. Pauli was thinking of hydrogen. The hydrogen atom has one electron in its shell, so each of its spectral lines splits into two lines to give it a fine structure.
Pauli first mentioned his interest in a neutral language in 1935. See P/J [13P], in which he looked into “the use of physical analogies to denote psychology facts in my dreams.”
the conscious as the mirror of the unconscious: Pauli (1948a), p. 186.
spectral lines on a photographic plate: P/J, Appendix 7, p. 210. The editors identify this as a “Handwritten note from Pauli, undated.” Actually, it was an attachment to Pauli’s letter to Jung of December 23, 1953 (included in P/J [66P])—see PLC5 [1695].
a separation defined by 137: Pauli (1948a), p. 191.
belief that 137 was an archetypal number: See Pauli (1948a), pp. 187 and 189.
the whole process seems like nonsense: See Jung (1930).
“the divisibility of a quantity by four”: The first quotation is from P/J [38P], June 4, 1950 and the second from P/J [23P], October 15, 1938.
“main source of the feeling of harmony”: P/J [23P], October 15, 1938.
“And examines himself”: Wilhelm (1923), p. 649.
Chapter 11 • Synchronicity
a clash of the four opposing concepts: Pauli (1948a), p. 191. I have replaced Pauli’s diagram with one from a letter he wrote to Jung two years later in 1950. The diagram is a visual representation of his text—see P/J [45P], November 24, 1950.
“inherent in the distinction between subject and object”: Bohr (1961), p. 91.
“both negatively and positively (creatively)”: Pauli (1948a), p. 192.
an egg that then divides into two eggs: Pauli (1948a), pp. 192–194.
“symbolic description [of nature] par excellence”: Pauli (1948a), p. 195.
as well as the unconscious: Pauli (1948a), p. 191.
parapsychological phenomena as a medical student: The term “synchronicity” appears for the first time in their correspondence in Pauli’s letter to Jung of November 7, 1948, in which he wrote of their discussing “the ‘synchronicity’ of dreams and external circumstances” (P/J [35P]: November 7, 1948).
“psychic and physical sequence of events come about”: MDR, p. 407.
