We Jungians, what a group. We can get so wrapped up in our inner sanctuary of sacredness we forget the objective world in which we live. Here is a video, 12 minutes in length, with Dr. Neil DeGrasse {American astrophysicist who has become a television star with his many appearances on the various science programs} that puts it all in a perspective that really makes sense, one that I think

is enthralling for anyone like myself who seeks answers in the natural world that will fit within the realms of the inner soul. Perhaps the most interesting part of the video is DeGrasse doesn't differentiate that much from the the logic of Jungian psychology. Both postulate we are all products of related sources and different only in small degrees. DeGrasse puts in logical terms that what is true in the depths of deepest space is true with every singular thing. "Not only do we exist in the universe, but the universe exists in us". I can't see where there it could be that hard to understand the concepts of archetypes using this measure. The chemicals we are made of are innate in us all. So too the archetypes.

I must admit I liked deGrasse's comments, 'when we look up at the night's sky and feel enlightened, ennobled, and almost spiritual, and that we feel a part of that'. Almost 'spiritual'. When science can relent and make way for a metaphysical possibility {the metaphysical approach, the one thing Jung gets the most criticism} then perhaps there is some hope for a planet that has so many of its inhabitants who seem to be metaphysically soulless.
