Abstract

Starting with the current pandemic, a potent symbol of death for all, the author explores the need to transform our vision of, and position in, the world. The author describes the world in which we live in terms of accelerated transformation and extreme imbalance: environmental suicide, consumerism, environmental pollution, global warming and intense polarization brought about by techno-populism. She reflects on the enantiodromia of our current times in which the focus has shifted from extreme spirituality to the opposite extreme of materialism. She returns to the concepts of the psychoid archetype and unus mundus, and analogous concepts in quantum physics, examining the need to review the polarities of psyche and matter in the search for a new synthesis. The author then concludes by highlighting the importance of consciousness in the elaboration and construction of a new way of being in the world.

Elle réfléchit à l’énantiodromie de notre époque dans laquelle l’accent a glissé d’une spiritualité extrême à l’extrême opposé avec…
