137 - Arthur I. Miller [149]
to Pauli about Dunne’s clairvoyance: P/J [8J], October 29, 1934. Dunne’s book was a great success, especially the third edition which carried a note by Arthur Stanley Eddington in which he agreed that any theory of physics based solely upon cause and effect could not fully explain the world about us. See Dunne (2001), p. 132.
“tentatively called the synchronistic principle”: Jung (1930), p. 56.
“one of the best ideas”: Jung to Wylie, partial handwritten letter undated, in Philip Wylie Archives, Princeton University, quoted from Bair (2004), p. 551.
“manifestations of the unconscious”: Jung (1930), p. 56.
“preoccupation with psychic phenomena”: P/J [7P], October 26, 1934.
“who looks at an infinite number of objects”: P/J [8J], October 29, 1934.
“naturally regarded by us as superstition”: Jung to Jordan, November 10, 1934, in CL, vol. 1.
“paying serious attention to such ideas”: P/J [36J], June 22, 1949.
“the statistical method”: P/J [45P], November 24, 1950.
“psychic state of the participants”: P/J [45P], November 24, 1950.
But they existed nonetheless: Jung (1952a), p. 424; and P/J [46J], November 30, 1950.
“see any archetypal basis (or am I wrong there?)”: P/J [37P], June 28, 1949. Rhine’s experimental results have been severely criticized. His experimental procedures lacked strict controls and several cases of falsification of records—in addition to just plain cheating—by his laboratory assistants, who often served as test subjects as well, have come to light.
“psychologists of the unconscious to this”: Pauli to Fierz, March 20, 1950: PCL4 [1091].
constructing a scientific basis for astrology: Jung (1952a), p. 475. Jung ended up omitting a great deal from his initial drafts. The manuscripts to Jung’s “Synchronicity” paper can be studied at the Historisches Sammlungen, ETH Library, file Hs 1055:867, 1 and 2.
there is no cause-and-effect connection: Jung (1952a), p. 474.
“a certain spiritual fertilization takes place”: Pauli to Fierz, November 26, 1949: PLC3 [1058].
tended to use synonymously with “simultaneity”: P/J [38P], June 4, 1950.
“hypothesis of the collective unconscious”: Jung (1952a), pp. 439–440.
given that the scarab is an ancient Egyptian symbol of rebirth: Jung (1952a), pp. 426, 427, 438.
“a direct connection with an archetype”: Jung (1952a), p. 481.
“he is, like Merlin, in need of redemption”: Pauli to Emma Jung, in P/J [44P], November 16, 1950.
“That, I believe, is the myth of my life”: Pauli to Jaffé, January 23, 1952: PCL4 [1350].
“in order to determine the time”: Pauli to Jung, February 2, 1951: PLC4 [1200]. The set of dreams that Pauli enclosed with this letter was not included in the version published in P/J [50P]. It turned up in the correspondence of Jung’s secretary, Aniela Jaffé, who often acted as a clearinghouse.
“not-yet-assimilated thoughts”: P/J [39J], June 20, 1950.
worldview so deplored by Fludd: P/J [39J], June 20, 1950.
“the idealization of observation and definition respectively”: Bohr (1961), pp. 54–55.
“no shortage of ‘not-yet-assimilated thoughts’”: P/J [40P], June 23, 1950.
“with the aid of the new principle of synchronicity”: P/J [45P], November 24, 1950.
a coincidence in time—total nonsense to a physicist: P/J [45P], November 24, 1950.
“half-life phenomenon of radium decay”: ETH-Bibliothek Hs 1055:867, 1. Jung’s other instances of physical phenomena on which synchronicity might be informative were: “The greatest density of water is at 4° c[entigrade]; The energy quanta; and the potential existence of the crystal lattice in the liquid that grows crystals.”
the synchronistic phenomenon would immediately vanish: P/J [37P], June 28, 1949.
“a psychic state and a nonpsychic state”: P/J [46J], November 30, 1950.
“has not lost its validity against the unconscious”: P/J [46J], November 30, 1950.
devised with Pauli’s help: Jung (1952a), p. 514.
“the psychology of the unconscious on the other hand”: P/J [46J], November 30, 1950.
“the mathematical concept of probability”: P/J [46J], November 30, 1950.
“the probability of psychic
