In Psyche and Matter, the Jungian analyst Marie Louise von Franz notes:
Like Wolfgang Paul’s “statistical laws with primary probabilities,” archetypes are also “a list of expectation values or ‘primary probability’ for certain psychological (including mental) reactions.” Referring to physicist David Bohm’s grid, “the archetypes can be understood as dynamic, unobservable structures, specimens of the implicate order. If, on the other hand, an archetype manifests as an archetypal dream image, it has unfolded and become more ‘explicated’.” (p. 252)
Jung spoke of synchronicity as an archetypal pattern. What allows an archetype to unfold, and a synchronous experiences to be explicated as a synchronicity?
In the post-Cartesian era, tough minded neuroscientists ignored the seemingly tenderminded themes of emotion and imagination. Since the 1990’s there has been dedicated pursuit of the role of emotion in cognition and imagination, leading to an intersection with Carl Jung’s seminal concepts of the affective basis of the psyche, the psyche’s role in emotional equilibrium, the notion of emotion as fuel for imagination, perceivable in archetypal images and narratives.. We have moved from what one researcher describes as a movement from “I think therefore I am,”, to “I feel , therefore I think, I think.”
This discussion will engage the intrinsic role of emotion and the agency of imagination as catalysts of unfolding, as intensities in the imprinting of mind and psyche, body and brain. The necessity of surprise as a basic survival emotion, and a crucial component of psychic process will be highlighted.
We will hear implicit and explicit resonances between Jung’s tenets and four contemporary theorists’ relevance to our understanding of inter-relatedness, on the continuum of emotion, synchronicity and surprise.:

General Information
All sessions will last for approximately 2 hours, and will be held over zoom.us. The session structure may vary from speaker to speaker, but in general participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter and in some cases there will be breakaway discussion groups.
Each session will be hosted by a member of the Pari Center Team, to ensure that the call is running smoothly and assist anyone experiencing technical problems.
During the presentations, we ask participants to turn off their microphone to ensure better quality audio. For this reason, the host may mute a participant’s audio. This is not to silence a participant’s voice, but to ensure an overall good audio quality. If a participant would like to ask a question or make a contribution to the discussion, they can use the ‘raise your hand’ tool in the chat, and then are welcome to turn on their microphone.
We invite all participants to turn on their video camera, as we believe that seeing everyone creates an inclusive educational environment. However, if any participant is uncomfortable, they are free to turn off the camera.
All sessions will be recorded. The recordings will not include the possible breakout-room discussions, but only the speaker’s presentation, follow-up discussions and Q&A. If a participant does not feel comfortable being recorded, we invite that participant to turn off their video and audio throughout the session. These recordings are available to anyone who has purchased a ticket for an attended session, or for a session they have paid for but were unable to attend.
