Civilization in transition. The contemporary imperative for an active unus mundus.

Abstract

Jung's conception of 'unus mundus' takes on new relevance. More than ever, the question arises of what we need today to come back into harmony with the creative and healing forces of the universe. Through synchronistic events, we experience connectedness and how the world as a whole affects us. With the help of the Tarot and the Chinese wisdom book I Ching, the spiritual dimension of unus mundus can be experienced. With the Hexagram '56 Lü - the Wanderer', as well as in the great Arcano 'the Sun' in the Tarot, and in the symbol of the snake, it is shown that one should be adaptable and willing to learn constantly. All archetypal images speak about the need to be aware, that periods of transition are dangerous and exciting. The important exercise here is to prepare oneself for the cosmic order of constant changes.
