1 Evolution, Jung, and Theurgy Their Role in Modern Neoplatonism Bruce MacLennan University of Tennessee, Knoxville , B. J. MacLennan June 6, 2003 ISNS 1
2 Overview Cross-connections between Neoplatonism Jungian Psychology Evolutionary Neuroethology Not materialist / reductionist! Integrate: physical, psychical, spiritual June 6, 2003 ISNS 2
3 Evolutionary Neuroethology Instincts: perceptual-behavioral structures characteristic of a species Environment of evolutionary adaptedness Life-cycle pattern of each member Phylogenetic pattern expressed ontogenetically in environment Homo sapiens too June 6, 2003 ISNS 3
4 Jungian Psychology Archetypes are psychical aspects of instincts Dynamic forms shaping perception and behavior Collective unconscious Archetypal situation is numinous and compelling June 6, 2003 ISNS 4
5 The Archetypes as Gods Archetypes as fields of structured potentiality Personified archetypes experienced as gods Empirical, stable, public, i.e. real Give transpersonal meaning to life June 6, 2003 ISNS 5
6 Numerical Archetypes Archetypal if psychical and common to all humans Any natural law with psychical aspect is archetypal Unpersonified archetypes The most fundamental archetypes are numbers E.g., dyad ~ dichotomy, differentiation, opposition June 6, 2003 ISNS 6
7 The Primal Nous & the Noetic Order Implicit in human genome Henads are all in all but each separately Genome ~ ei]doj ei0dw~n Paradeigma of archetypal world Noêta exist in to\ au0tozw~ on Primal Nous, Pure Nous, First God, June 6, 2003 ISNS 7
8 Individual Variation Human genome is an abstraction Each genotype is slightly different The gods present a slightly different face to each of us June 6, 2003 ISNS 8
9 The Descent of the Soul 2003, B.J. MacLennan June 6, 2003 ISNS 9
10 The Demiurge & the Noeric Order Archetypes embodied in brain structures Correspond to noera articulated as Logos of Demiurge Not independent of environment \ Gods present differently to each of us June 6, 2003 ISNS , B.J. MacLennan
11 Articulation of the Archetypes June 6, 2003 ISNS , B.J. MacLennan
12 The World Soul & Individual Souls Noera manifest in consciousness as dynamic patterns of perception and behavior Yuxh\ brings them into space & time Mediates between eternity & time h9 Panto\j Yuxh\ is transcendent model of relation between noerics and their temporal expression June 6, 2003 ISNS 12
13 Does the Soul Descend Completely? Noêta, in genome, are inaccessible to mind Articulated noera in brain may be activated & manifest in experience Spontaneously or by design Our souls are rooted in noera & incapable of direct access to noêta June 6, 2003 ISNS 13
14 Impassivity of Gods Gods are impassive because personal experiences do not affect genotypes They do not change in response to us Do not remember us Know us only as members of H. sapiens But: they enter our lives in different ways Mediated by World Soul June 6, 2003 ISNS 14
15 Complexes as Dai/monej Complexes as webs of associations around an archetype Normal & necessary parts of psyche behave like independent beings (Jung) Belong to a god s seira Your daimones know you intimately June 6, 2003 ISNS 15
16 Possession & Projection Subject of archetypal relation may be possessed Projects archetypal role onto object Mutual possession / projection Possession is not necessarily bad June 6, 2003 ISNS 16
17 The Higher Self Higher Self = totality of archetypal field conscious ego Psychical correlate of genome The archetypal 71Anqrwpoj Defines Pronoia governing H. sapiens Paradoxical & contradictory fi symbolism required June 6, 2003 ISNS 17
18 The Anima/Animus as Psychopomp Incorporates unexpressed contrasexual aspects of psyche Anima in man, Animus in woman Nearest archetype Natural Psychopomps Muses, Heroes, etc. June 6, 2003 ISNS 18
19 The Evolving Archetypes Genome evolves fi archetypes evolve Essentialism superceded by population thinking Genome as a statistical average Personified Ideas (gods) change slowly Unpersonified Ideas (e.g. numbers) are eternal June 6, 2003 ISNS 19
20 Are the Gods Good? Personified archetypes have conferred selective advantage on H. sapiens Unpersonified archetypes not necessarily good for H. sapiens Beyond good and evil Conflicts among gods and daimones How to live in harmony with Providence? June 6, 2003 ISNS 20
21 Who are the Gods? Which pantheon? 99.5% of H. sapiens history as huntergatherers (Stevens) Our gods are the gods of Paleolithic huntergatherers How do we live in harmony with these gods? June 6, 2003 ISNS 21
22 Timeline June 6, 2003 ISNS 22
23 Paleolithic Hunter- Gatherers A nineteenth century view June 6, 2003 ISNS 23
24 Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers Dorobo tribe, Tanzania. (The people of Tanzania seem to have genotypes most similar to our common ancestors.) June 6, 2003 ISNS 24
25 Rhea and Kronos? The Indefinite Dyad and the Monad? Our Ancestral Gods? Ubirr Rock, Arnhem Land, Australia June 6, 2003 ISNS 25
26 Our Ancestral Gods? The Paternal Nous? Paleolithic rock art, B.P., Arnhem Land, Australia June 6, 2003 ISNS 26
27 Sunthêmata and Sumbola Releasing-stimuli that activate archetype & cause it to manifest Unconditioned : part of seira of a god Conditioned : mediated by a daimôn Invoke gods & daimones and invite them to possess or project June 6, 2003 ISNS 27
28 The Seira of Apollo 2003, B.J. MacLennan June 6, 2003 ISNS 28
29 Telestikê Empsukôsis of sacred image Material sunthêmata Immaterial sunthêmata Does not compel god or daimôn Preparation of suitable dokhê to receive projection of god Creates archetypal relation June 6, 2003 ISNS 29
30 Desmos God or daimôn invited to possess a human receiver Like telestikê, But a human receiver can embody a personified archetype better June 6, 2003 ISNS 30
31 Sustasis Active imagination in Jungian analysis Establish a liaison with a god or daimôn They may not be truthful For learning about archetypal realm For entering into energeia of a god For acquiring a paredros June 6, 2003 ISNS 31
32 Anagôgê Ascent to union with a god, Demiurge, or ineffable One Like knows like Separation as symbolic voluntary death Participation in energeia of Deathand-Resurrection archetype June 6, 2003 ISNS 32
33 79H Pro/qesij June 6, 2003 ISNS 33
34 Conclusions Mind and matter are two sides of same ineffable One Jungian psychology & evolutionary neuroethology are mutually informing Both compatible with & reinforce Neoplatonism June 6, 2003 ISNS 34
