Dr. Eugene Pascal has two degrees in philosophy from the Catholic Institute in Paris, and graduated in 1978 from the C. G. Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland, after a 4-year study program. He graduated in 1985 from the New Interfaith Seminary of New York where he was also dean of studies. He is a member of the New York Association for Analytical Psychology and the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists of the Jung Institute in Zurich. He has taught in Paris, at Fordham Univ. in NY, and in India. In the brief passage below, Dr. Pascal discusses Carl Jung's special archetype of the Self, as the totality of all components of the psyche. Among all the archetpes that Jung observed, there was one that seemed very special. The Self is an intuited and experienced symbol of psychic totality encompassing both the personal and transpersonal spheres of consciousness. We experience it as a mysterious, paradoxical convergence of all seemingly irreconcilable opposites resolved into a cohesive whole. It is indeed as abstract as it sounds and just as difficult to grasp. Just as our own beings are composed of bodily parts, emotions, mind, soul and spirit, it is possible to see all these conjoined as a whole, though they are seemingly contradictory in their natures. The totality of the union of such disparaties is an entity in itself. In biology this totality has been termed "synergy". In other words, the whole of consciousness is seen to be greater than the sum of its parts; so it is with the Self. The Self, an intimation of our deepest incumbent wholeness, produces feelings of unspeakable satisfaction deep within us. Ego-consciousness can only intuit the presence of the Self, the union of the entirety of the two psychic systems -- the conscious and unconscious. This intuited psychic center is above and beyond our ego-conscious personality, where it is observed as standing out in prominence, if one has eyes to see it. SES note:   My understanding of Jung and Pascal's discussions, as presented on this site, in conjunction with Cambell's & Larsen's work in mythology, indicates that the totality of the psyche (the collective unconscious + conscious mind) is equivalent to the eastern concept of superconsciousness (refer to Vivekananda). typed and uploaded 4-18-98 Passage from "Jung To Live By" (pgs. 107-108) by Eugene Pascal, Ph.L.
