Abstract

This article characterizes the world view of Jungian psychology based on the
concept of unus mundus. A sample with articles by Jung, his commentators
and authors of Quantum Physics was analyzed using Jungian hermeneutics.
The results were organized according to the following analysis categories:
“the invisible plane underlying the empirical level of reality as totality and
unity”, “the invisible plane as the source of creation and movement”, “the
invisible plane as marked by non-locality” and “the psyche and the invisible
plane.” The main conclusion that can be drawn is one of a worldview in
which the empirical reality is seen as grounded in an implied/invisible order
which is considered to be a source of creation, movement, unity, non-causal
connection and unconditioned by time and space. Archetype is considered a “bridge” between the psyche and the invisible order, and synchronicity as
evidence of this connection.
