Transendent Value, subjective, coincidence Jung and Pauli

Rain on Oakleaf

 A rain day is the perfect time to think about the meanings in Transcendental. The German Idealists, including Carl Jung, in my understanding, used transcendental to describe that area of mind that cheerfully engages in sifting through the possibilities most of which are probably but not definitely impossible.

 Kant had the big book on the subject, where he advised men and women of wisdom to be wary of Pure Reason. He suggested that when engaged in thought processes, the temptations to make fantastical and often entirely romantic possibilities real were ever present and if allowed to would quickly put the boot in reason, kick it to the curve and wander off into something like The Virgin Birth.

 In 1850, Schopenhauer put together a title called "Transcendent Speculation on the Apparent Deliberateness in the Fate of the Individual." This is a passage from a translation of that book: "All the events in a man's life would accordingly stand in two fundamentally different kinds of connection: firstly, in the objective, causal connection of the natural process; secondly, in a subjective connection which exists only in relation to the individual who experiences it, and which is thus as subjective as his own dreams."

 This reading of the Schopenhauer's "Objective" and the "Subjective" caught Carl Jung's imagination, caused him to read the I Ching and, and along with the quantum physcicts Wolfgang Pauli, come away with "The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche" which explored the idea of Synchronicity and the subjective impacts of coincidence on the psyche.

 The point being that a majority of Analytical Psychologists agree that synchronicity experiences, acceptance of coincidence as opposed to dismissing it could be useful for therapy. Analytical psychologists hold that individuals must understand the "compensatory meaning of these experiences" which enables them to explore the widerness of consciousness rather than get all worked up in crazy talk about obsessions such as neurotic and dominating superstition.

 The question of course is when it comes to the psyche where is the difference between subjective and objective
