The Idea of the primordial Ground in the Wisdom Teachings

In the tradition of the Wisdom Teachings "the hidden wisdom of God" is understood as the action of the divine world spirit or primordial ground, an invisible, hidden, noumenal principle, giving birth to the world of manifestation and permeating it.

In the world view of the Wisdom Teachings the field of metaphysics consisted in the investigation and recognition of the archetypical world of primordial ideation – the “seeds of reason and truth” – from which the visible creation of nature comes forth. Innumerable are the names given to this noumenal principle:

  • Logos
  • Nous
  • Logoi spermatikoi, the "seeds of reason and truth"
  • Bhutatathata, the "Such-ness of existents."

"That which is beyond form is called Tao.                                                  That which is of form is called thing"

The Idea of the primodial Ground in integral Science
The concept of Unus Mundus of C. G. Jung

The unity of all life – this is one of the fundamental concepts of the Wisdom Teachings. Also the new sciences acknowledge the interconnectedness of all parts of creation.

Carl Gustav Jung's concept of Unus Mundus emerged from his coorperation with the physicist Wolfgang Pauli. It provides a model by which the two scientists were hoping to be able to reconcile quantum physics, psychoanalysis and parapsychology.

The idea of Unus Mundus says:

        • the diversity of the empirical world is based on a deeper reality of unity

        • the “transcendental psychophysical background” of our reality is the fundation of both the material world
          and the world of psyche and consciousness.

                                                                                                                                        

  
 
 

„In the end is Tao the godlike or
divine Spirit or world foundation
(of a quite impersonal kind) that
interweaves everything, the shapeless
and the invisible as well as the shaped
and the visible, and is simultaneously
the void and the plenty.“

Jean Gebser The invisilbe Origin,
The origin and the Tao

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

„There is no “me“ and “not me“duality to our bodies in realation to the universe, but one underlying energy field. This field is responsible for our mind´s highest functions, the information source guiding the growth of our bodies. It is our brain, our heart, our memory - indeed, a blueprint of the world for all times. ... We are attached and engaged, indivisible from our world, and our only fundamental truth is our realationship with it.“

Lynne McTaggart, The Field, Prologue

“One indivisible that is pure existence.”

Chandogya Upanishad VI. 2. 1
