[I
am interested in] the question of whether or
not there
exists a "subtle body" and the related
question of whether or not there is a continuous
connection
between
psyche and body, the object of depth psychology
and contemporary nuclear physics, respectively.
On Dreams and Death, p. xvi
The vision proposed by Carl Gustav Jung implies
a total reorientation of consciousness and of our
whole world view. Therefore one cannot just leave
his new paradigm as an addition in the hitherto scientific
world. In my opinion, this fact should be discussed
with an open attitude.
Der Pauli-Jung-Dialog, 1995, p. 332

For the Medieval alchemist there was no doubt about
the existence of a subtle body. In his world view
the microcosm and the macrocosm, the inner and the
outer world, were the same because the part and
the whole were identical. The animated matter in
the macrocosmos he called the world soul, the parallel
bodily microcosmos the subtle body.
The birth of modern science in the
17th century and its possibility of looking onto
the outer world in an abstract mathematical manner
destroyed this unity. Since then psyche and matter
are split. As a consequence of this split, we do
not believe in animated inorganic outer matter
anymore. The second and even more important aspect
is, however, that we have forgotten to observe,
sensate and feel the inner body soul or soul body,
because of the consciousness developed on the one
hand in the direction of Logos, on the other into
an extreme extraversion.
Since
the second half of the 20th century this macrocosmic
subtle body, the world
soul of the
Medieval alchemists, now comes back in an unexpected
place – in UFO encounter and abduction (see
UFO page). This dangerous development leads us
to the challenge to develop the observation of
the “inner UFO”, which is nothing less
than the microcosmic subtle body.
