Bohm,JungandtheNewHealthParadigm

Contrary to what modern science and medicine believe, a societys medical and health paradigm is intimately connected to and directly influenced by its cosmology and understanding of consciousness. Our current Western paradigm of health is based on an outdated cosmological perspective and framework of consciousness that are no longer adequate. Ever since the advancement of Cartesian philosophy and Newtonian physics, the Western psyche has been operating under a system of duality and separation. However, humanity appears to be evolving from a dualistic paradigm that reinforces fragmentation to one of holism that now advances wholeness. This new holistic paradigm of wholeness emerging in the respective disciplines of science and consciousness studies is perhaps most evident in the theories of David Bohm and of Carl Jung. Both Bohm and Jung base their respective theories on the premise that the cosmos and human consciousness function in an undivided and coherent state of wholeness. This new paradigm of wholeness has the ability to transform every facet of human life from economics, geo-politics and religion to language. However, it is in the field of health and medicine where applications of the paradigm of wholeness have the potential of having the greatest and most personal impact. In addition to a new cosmology and psychology of health, there needs to be a better understanding of the relationship between language and consciousness as part of the new medical paradigm. In fact, linguistic evidence suggests that this notion of wholeness is reflected in human language and has always existed throughout history and

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

in human consciousness going back several millennia. Deeply embedded in the human psyche there exists a fundamental notion that perceives health as a state of wholeness/oneness and disease as states of separation/duality. Using Jungs theory of archetypes, exploration into both ancient and modern languages suggests that a possible Archetype of Health resides in the human psyche. The paper adheres to the concepts of Health Psychology1, a recently created field of study that examines the vast array of human factors and models that influence and shape a societys paradigm of health. As our cultural consciousness influences our religious and scientific paradigms, it is then no surprise that our current health care model is established on and functions within the concept of duality and separation. Dr. Comfort, from UCLAs Neuro-Psychiatry Institute accurately observes, Medicine always acquires the colour of its time.2 As humanity moves from an outdated dualistic paradigm of reductionism and separation into a new holistic paradigm of integral consciousness and wholeness, it is only logical that the way in which we conceptualize and practice medicine will be colored by the changing times.

Health Psychology aims to analyze how power, economics and macro-social processes influence or structure health, health care, health psychology and society at large. It is concerned with the political nature of all human existence, admits compassion in theory and practice, values freedom of thought and is aware of the social interdependence of human beings as actors. The context for study is the whole of society, government and commerce. In particular it is concerned with the impact of power structures as facilitators or barriers to achieving health. It is concerned with developing knowledge and strategies to help build a healthier world. Marks, Murray, Evans, Willig, Woodall, & Sykes. (2005).

The paper is structured into the following sections, each one elaborating the following point. 1. 2. Our current health paradigm is the result of an outdated dualistic Newtonian cosmology/physics and Cartesian consciousness. It defines health as non-disease. A new holistic paradigm of health is emerging that defines health as wholeness. a. This is evident in David Bohms notion of the Implicate/Explicate Order. b. Bohms model enables a re-conceptualization of health and disease in a new quantum paradigm. c. Carl Jungs Individuation and the Archetype of Wholeness provide applications toward the new health paradigm. 3 A Jungian Archetype of Health possibly exists in the human psyche evidenced in human language.

Section One The Current Paradigm of Health as Non-Disease Our current health care model has been shaped and influenced by a greater Zeitgeist that has been permeating and plaguing the human psyche over the past several centuries. The etiology of this disease that plagues the collective human psyche is the false assumption that we are separate from and superior to the Greater Whole.4 The symptoms of this disease of separation permeate all aspects of our society and are evidenced in our current healthcare system that is crippling our economy, marginalizing people in society and placing a heavy environmental toll on the planet. The noted quantum physicist, Dr. Amit Goswami, astutely describes this illness that plagues the human condition by stating, The ultimate disease, the root disease, is the illusory

This emergent new paradigm of consciousness and health has been expressed in the theories of many other noted pioneers of the 20th century Thomas Berry, Margaret Newman, Alfred Whitehead, Pierre Teilhard de Chradin, Larry Dossey and Aurobindo.

thinking that we are separate from the whole, which is ignorance. To heal the disease of separateness is to realize that we are whole, we have never been separate, that the separation is an illusion.5 If the disease of the human psyche is the notion of separation, then the cure to restore us back into a state of health is the advancement of a consciousness of wholeness. The healing panacea to restore us back into a state of collective health from this disease of separation is to abandon our dualistic paradigm of fragmentation and to embrace a holistic paradigm of wholeness. In order to move into this new health paradigm, it is important to understand how this current health paradigm, based on dualistic thinking, evolved. Ever since Rn Descartes proclaimed his famous declaration cogit erg sum I think, therefore, I am he immediately forced a disjunctive split between the parts of human consciousness that thinks and exists. Cartesian philosophy created a schism in the Western psyche by emphasizing rational thought over integral consciousness and enforced the belief of the dichotomy between mind and matter.6 In turn, the Cartesian paradigm of duality influenced the nascent field of 17th century medicine by advancing a definition of health as the absence of clinically observable illness in the body. Similarly, the advent of Newtonian physics brought about the notion of a reductionist and mechanical universe devoid of consciousness.

Descartes was greatly intrigued by anatomy and medicine. Roy Porter states, Descartes always regarded medicine as a key to the natural world. He often dissected animals, and produced three works devoted to the life sciences: Treatise on the Formation of the Foetus (1664), Description of the Human Body (1648-9), Treatise of Man (1662). Descartes even proposed a mechanical model of the human animal; drawing analogies with clocks and automata. Porter, R. (1997). The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of Humanity. W. W. Norton & Company, 217.

In our current paradigm of consciousness, duality is perceived to be a binary state of mutual exclusion. One sees this notion reflected in human thought and language where something must be either A or B, but not both A and B. Our current concept of health has become defined and practiced through an apophatic7 lens as the absence or negation of disease. It frames the state of health in a dualistic binary construct of disease where health is determined by either the presence or absence of illness. Basically, our healthcare paradigm equates health with non-disease. A new paradigm of

consciousness and of health is required that no longer operates in a dualistic notion of either/or, but one that conveys a holistic notion of both/and. As the quote by Dr. Goswami previously stated, it is the disease of separation that is the root illness of the human psyche. The difference between our current dualistic and emerging holistic paradigm of consciousness and its connection to Goswamis definition of disease and health can be symbolically expressed in the language of logic. Current dualistic paradigm of Cosmology/Consciousness If A = Human; B = The Whole A B; A B (something is either A or B); a disjunctive exclusion (Human is SEPARATE from the Whole = DISEASE)

Emerging holistic paradigm of Cosmology/Consciousness A = B; A B (something is both A and B); a conjunctive inclusion (Human is IDENTICAL with the Whole = HEALTH)

The term apophatic derives from the Greek word apophsis, which literally means saying no. It is a form of logical inquiry to proof the existence and nature of God in a via negativa, a method of denial that tells what something is by telling what it is not. It is a form of logic that promotes affirmation through negation. Its opposite is kataphsis, which is a via positiva. These terms were used first by Christian theologians in a conceptual framework to proof the existence of God through logical argumentation.

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

Since our current Western paradigm of health is based on a Cartesian/Newtonian philosophy of duality and separation, it epitomizes this disease of separation and is advancing a health care system that reinforces and perpetuates this disease of duality. How then can our health care system ever become effective when it itself is the disease! Thus, our current paradigm of health is framed in a dualistic language that defines health as the absence of disease rather than health as the state of wholeness. The Cartesian worldview and the current model of Newtonian cosmology can be generally summarized by four principles. 1. 2. 3. 4. Reductionism Linear causality Duality Locality

These principles now operate within our current medical paradigm in the following way. 1. Reductionism a. The human body can be reduced to mechanistic components, biochemical constituents and a sum of compartmentalized parts. b. Disease can be reduced to symptoms and physical pathogens. Disease occurs and is treated in separate systems of the body. c. Disease is a fragmented concept that occurs as discrete segments in the body, and is treated in a similar manner. d. Disease is a disorder or breakdown in the body (as machine). Health is the absence of disease and the eradication of its symptoms that enables the proper functioning of the human-machine. e. The specialization/fragmentation in the health and medical fields (psychiatry, cardiology, neurology, immunology, etc.) is an extension of this reductionism. 2. Linear causality a. Disease is a causal phenomenon where A causes disease. b. Treatment occurs in a causal manner where A heals disease. 3. Duality a. Mind and consciousness are separate entities from the body, or are seen as epiphenomenon, in the health process.

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

b. Disease originates physically within matter and can only be treated physically with surgery, drugs, radiation etc. This also applies to mental illness. c. We are conditioned to see health/disease as dichotomies with health as positive and disease as negative. d. Disease is separate from and viewed as the opposite of health. e. Healer and patient are distinct entities acting independently in the healing process. 4. Locality a. Disease/health and body/mind/consciousness are distinct localized constituents separated by time and space. b. Disease is a localized concept that is experienced only by individuals in finite time and space. Spontaneous healing is not possible. c. Physical bodies and human consciousness have a determinable existence in localized space/time. The four points of Cartesian philosophy and Newtonian physics that have influenced the current health paradigm can be summarized in the following figure. 1. 2. 3. 4. A and B are divided into constituents (Reductionist) A B (Duality) A B (Causality) A is localized/separated from B (Locality)

A=Disease

B=Nondisease

Treatment= Physicalremoval ofdisease

Section Two The New Emerging Paradigm of Health as Wholeness In order for a new medical paradigm based on wholeness to emerge a congruent cosmological perspective and model of consciousness are required that also have a direct theoretical application to medicine. This concept of wholeness is not new, as it permeates the philosophies that have created the foundation of numerous traditions in both science and religion.8 Even though this notion of wholeness has been prevalent throughout human consciousness, reflected in both Eastern and Western cultures, only recently in the past century has this idea of wholeness been advanced in the field of science and psychology. Bohms cosmological model of quantum physics and Jungs model of the psyche share a fundamental ontology that adheres to this concept of wholeness.

A. Bohms Cosmology David Bohms model of the universe has as its basic principle the theory of unity and emphasis on wholeness. While Bohm theorized a highly theoretical and mathematically elaborate cosmology, his ideas are summed up in three general principles. 1. Ontological Holism 2. Implicate Order/Explicate Order 3. Holomovement

This state of wholeness has been defined and named in a multitude of ways such as Spirit, God, the Absolute, the Hindu Brahman, Buddhist nyat, Pre-Socratic T Pn , Cusas Maximum Absolutum and the Chinese Dao.

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

1. Ontological Holism Bohms cosmological paradigm directly challenges Cartesian and Newtonian reductionism in many ways. In Bohms conception of the cosmos, rather than all of reality being conceived of as causal, localized and linear phenomena, reality is conceived of as an undivided whole. For Bohm, the undivided whole encompasses everything, including processes and phenomena that produce stable structures and events as well as those that involve metamorphosis and flux of structures. For Bohm ontological holism defines the whole of existence, conceived of not as a collection of reduced and compartmentalized parts but as an undivided state of wholeness. 2. Implicate and Explicate Order Within Bohms paradigm of undivided wholeness there exists the concept of the Implicate and Explicate Order. According to Bohm, the Implicate Order is the ultimate enfolded cosmological substrate out of which our present perception of reality unfolds in the form of the Explicate Order. The physical reality that we perceive as the phenomenological universe is in actuality a constantly unfolding manifestation in the Explicate Order that originates from the Implicate Order. All structures, order and variation are contained at all times within the Implicate Order in a permanently enfolded and unmanifested state. In Bohms quantum model of the universe, all the apparently separate and disconnected aspects and dualities of the visible Explicate Order are subtotalities derived from a transcendental Implicate Order. Information continually unfolds and becomes manifest from the Implicate Order

which our consciousness experiences within the Explicate Order as our reality. The implication of Bohms model is that nothing is really separate or autonomous, but rather abides in an interrelated dynamic relationship of wholeness. Bohm advocates that the

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

fabric of the universe exists in an interconnected dualistic model of an Implicate and Explicate Order that mutually co-exists in a state of wholeness. As Bohm states, In the enfolded order, space and time are no longer the dominant factors determining the relationships of dependence or independence of different elements. Rather, an entirely different sort of basic connection of elements is possible, from which our ordinary notions of space and time, along with those of separately existent material particles, are abstracted as forms derived from the deeper order. These ordinary notions in fact appear in what is called the "explicate" or "unfolded" order, which is a special and distinguished form contained within the general totality of all the implicate orders.9 Thus, it is in the greater totality of the universe, a state of undivided wholeness, where the apparent duality of the Implicate and Explicate Orders co-exists, as they are both mirrored reflections of each other. 3. Holomovement The continuous process by which events unfold from the Implicate Order and become manifest in the Explicate Order is known as holomovement, literally the movement of the whole. Bohm poetically defines holomovement as undivided wholeness in flowing movement. Rather than the undivided whole residing in a static totality holomovement enables the continuous universal flux, a dynamic process in which everything moves together in a vastly interconnected process of wholeness. As Bohm states, Any form of relative autonomy (and heteronomy) [in the Explicate Order] is ultimately limited by holonomy, so that in a broad enough context such forms are seen to be merely aspects, relevated in the holomovement, rather than disjoint and separately existent things in interaction".10 The holomovement is the binding

force between the enfolding (Implicate) and unfolding (Explicate) within wholeness. Bohms three concepts of ontological holism, the Implicate and Explicate Order and of holomovement can be visually represented and explained in the figure below.

A three-dimensional donut-like object present in three-dimensional space moves downward (arrow) through two-dimensional 'Flatland'. The areas A and B are two-dimensional projections of the object onto two-dimensional Flatland. The mentioned inhabitants study this movement (and several other such movements occurring in other cases), and try to set up laws of motion between their observed objects. One of them, however, says that those laws are only abstractions and approximations from a state of affairs occurring in a higher-dimensional reality, in which those two objects are just one object, also when observed as actually separate (i.e. also when it is observed as two separate objects). Because the 'real' object is just one simultaneously existing whole, the apparent interactions between the objects A and B are of a non-causal and non-local nature. 11 We can apply this analogy to our own 4-dimensional model of Space-Time. From the perspective of someone residing in the Explicate Order of 3-dimensional space, events A and B appear as causal, localized phenomena separated spatially and temporally. From the vantage point of someone in the Explicate Order, A B (duality) and A B (causality). However, from the higher dimensional enfolded Implicate Order A = B

(wholeness). The apparently distinct phenomena are in reality connected by the holomovement between the Implicate and Explicate Order within undivided wholeness.

B. Re-conceptualization of health and disease in the Bohmian model Our current paradigm of consciousness and of medicine is based on a local realistic view of the cosmos, as it assumes that phenomena are separated by time and space and that no influence can travel faster than the speed of light. Bohms model of undivided wholeness proves that these assumptions are incorrect, as there is a principle of holistic interconnectedness operating at the quantum level, which contradicts the localistic and dualistic assumptions of classical, Newtonian physics and Cartesian philosophy. Similarly, in the Bohmian paradigm of physics two particles that are part of a single system (Implicate Order) continue to act in concert with one another no matter how far apart they appear to be separated by Space-Time (Explicate Order). There are now two profound applications of the Bohmian model on to medicine. 1. In Bohms cosmological model instantaneous actions occur at a distance as they are interconnected and enfolded within the Implicate Order. This now explains the possibility of spontaneous and long-distance healing as valid experiences in the medical paradigm. The wholeness of the Implicate Order is enfolded and encoded into the parts of the Explicate Order. Similarly, a state of health (i.e. wholeness) is enfolded into all of the parts of the human body- cells, tissues, DNA, etc. Therefore, complete healing can occur at any level and in any part of the body, in turn, enabling healing to occur throughout the entire being.

We refer back to the previous figure of events A and B in Flatland by assigning A = Disease in the Explicate Order and B = Non-disease in the Explicate Order.

IMPLICATE ORDER WHOLENESS HEALTH

EXPLICATE ORDER DISEASE

EXPLICATE ORDER NON DISEASE

While A (disease) and B (non-disease) appear to be separate phenomena in the Explicate Order of Space-Time, they are actually identical manifestations of the same phenomenon that originate within and unfold from the Implicate Order. Thus, disease and non-disease are no longer dualistic phenomena, but are interrelated events unified within the Implicate Order. Perhaps another name for the Implicate Order would be Health. It is

13

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

in the realm of Health where disease and non-disease are co-extensive and co-relational functions of a greater undivided wholeness of being. Bohms model of the Implicate and Explicate Order now enables us to view disease and health in an entirely new conceptual framework. In Bohms theory of ontological holism, the parts in the Explicate Order appear to be distinct from the whole, but because they include the whole and derive from the Implicate Order, they are actually identical with the whole. While the Newtonian/Cartesian paradigm of health views disease and non-disease to be exact opposite states in the Explicate Order, in actuality they are both identical states enfolded within the Implicate Order. Thus, from a Bohmian perspective health includes disease and disease includes health. Simply put both disease and non-disease are identical states that have their origins in the Implicate Order of Health. It is only in the Explicate Order where disease and non-disease (i.e. the Cartesian definition of health) are perceived as being separate, causal and localized phenomena. As Margaret Newman, R.N. outlines in her seminal book, Health as Expanding Consciousness, disease is only one possible manifestation of health in the Explicate Order. In order to view disease as a manifestation of health, we need to dispel the misconception that illness is a discrete and separate entity from the health process. She believes that disease and non-disease are not separate entities but are each reflections of the larger whole, a phenomenon of greater dimensions.12

Bohms model also allows for a more meaningful understanding of the role that disease plays in the health process. In a Bohmian framework of health, disease is a temporary state of disharmony and disorder within the holomovement13 between the Implicate and Explicate Order. Disease could be the possible result of the kinetic breakdown and obstruction of the holomovement, while health is the unobstructed and indivisible flowing movement between the Implicate and Explicate Order. Alternatively, disease may also be a process of movement of the individual from a lower to a higher state of wholeness within the Implicate Order. In this sense, disease then acts as a catalyst for the individuals consciousness and being to become temporarily disordered (i.e. diseased) in the Explicate Order as it moves toward an even higher state of coherent wholeness (health) in the Implicate Order14. Perhaps it is this breakdown in the holomovement that enables the individual to tap into the deeper level of the Implicate

13

Space limitation prevents a full discussion of the role that Bohms concept of holomovement has on the new health paradigm. However, holomovement can be seen as the possible key to health that enables the harmonious flow between the Implicate and Explicate Order. It is the authors belief that the most salient example of holomovement in the human body is the breath. While other traditions refer to the breath as Prna, Chi, Spirit, Ruach, etc. it is the proper and harmonious flow of the breath within the body that unites one with the undivided wholeness. It is through the breath that powerful healing can occur. Many indigenous cultures as well as modern techniques (e.g. Grofs Holotropic Breathwork) recognize the importance of the breath in the quest for health and wholeness. Conscious breathing facilitates the holomovement allowing the individual to experience the undivided wholeness in flowing movement. Techniques such as meditation, intentionality, prayer, chanting, mindfulness etc. are all additional vehicles of holomovement that enables us to become whole. David Bohm offers insight on the nature of holomovement by saying, The concept of the holomovement gives expression to the sense of the totality. Bohm, Kelly, & Morin. (1996). Order, Disorder, and the Absolute: An Experiment in Dialogue. World Futures , 46, 228.
14

It is analogous to the quantum leap principle that occurs when electrons jump from a lower orbit to a higher orbit instantaneously - not in a linear/causal manner, but in an acausal/atemporal movement through the Implicate Order. Similarly, the individual can experience an instantaneous shift between a lower and higher state of health.

15

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

Order where authentic Health resides. Ilya Prigogine15 proposed a similar notion by theorizing that sometimes coherent structuring can evolve out of apparently chaotic and disordered systems. It implies that there is an inherent unity between the order (health/non-disease) and disorder (disease). In the application of Bohms theory to medicine, disease no longer has to be regarded as a negative concept. Rather, we can conceive of disease as a state of metamorphosis (flux and change) of the human being within undivided wholeness as the holomovement between the Implicate and Explicate Order. In all of these possible explanations of disease within the Bohmian model, the underlying factor might very well be that the manifestation of a disease is a result of the individuals intention to ultimately experience higher states of order and wholeness. We can now summarize the applications of Bohms theory toward the new emerging health paradigm. 1. The Bohmian paradigm of health unites disease and non-disease. They are no longer distinct phenomena of the Explicate Order but function as meaningful aspects of health in the Implicate Order. 2. Health is the harmonious interaction of all the constituent parts of the Explicate Order (cells, tissues, atoms, systems, consciousness, the entire Being) with the environment and the totality of the Implicate Order. 3. Health is a dynamic, non-static concept of the individual residing in harmony with the Implicate Order. 4. Disease and non-disease are parts of a greater order of undivided wholeness that we can define as health. Disease and non-disease do not control the other, nor are they connected in a linear, causal manner. Each is reflective of the greater whole. Thus, disease and non-disease are not separate states, but rather projections onto the Explicate Order from the Implicate Order within undivided wholeness.

C. Jungs Model of the Psyche and Health Before delving further into the discussion of this emerging paradigm of health from a Jungian perspective, it will be helpful to define a few important terms from the Jungian jargon to assist the reader in the presentation that follows. The following terms are excerpts taken directly from Jung Lexicon: A Primer of Terms & Concepts (1990). Consciousness - In Jung's view of the psyche, individual consciousness is a superstructure based on, and arising out of, the unconscious. Unconscious The totality of all psychic phenomena that lack the quality of consciousness. The unconscious is both vast and inexhaustible. It is not simply the unknown or the repository of conscious thoughts and emotions that have been repressed, but includes contents that may or will become conscious. Psyche The totality of all psychological processes, both conscious and unconscious. Wholeness - A state in which consciousness and the unconscious work together in harmony. In terms of individuation, where the goal is a vital connection with the self, Jung contrasted wholeness with the conflicting desire to become perfect. Individuation The process of psychological differentiation, having for its goal the development of the individual personality. Individuation is a process informed by the archetypal ideal of wholeness, which in turn depends on a vital relationship between ego and unconscious. The process of individuation, consciously pursued, leads to the realization of the self as a psychic reality greater than the ego. Archetype The primordial, structural elements of the human psyche. Archetypes are irrepresentable in themselves but their effects are discernible in archetypal images and motifs. Archetypal images, as universal patterns or motifs, which come from the collective unconscious, are the basic content of religions, mythologies, legends and fairy tales. On a personal level, archetypal motifs are patterns of thought or behavior that are common to humanity at all times and in all places. Self - The archetype of wholeness and the regulating center of the psyche; a transpersonal power that transcends the ego. The realization of the self as an autonomous psychic factor is often stimulated by the irruption of unconscious contents over which the ego has no control. This can result in neurosis and a subsequent renewal of the personality.

17

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

In Jungs model of the human psyche, he distinguishes between the egoconsciousness and the unconscious. For Jung, the psyche encompasses both egoconsciousness and the unconscious with ego-consciousness as a structure arising out of but also grounded in the unconscious. If we superimpose Bohms model of the Implicate and Explicate Order onto Jungs model of the psyche, the Implicate Order functions in a similar manner to the unconscious. Jungs describes the unconscious As an extremely fluid state of affairs: everything of which I know, but of which I am not at the moment thinking; everything of which I was once conscious but have now forgotten; everything perceived by my senses, but not noted by my conscious mind; everything which, involuntarily and without paying attention to it, I feel, think, remember, want, and do; all the future things that are taking shape in me and will sometime come to consciousness: all this is the content of the unconscious. 16

In both the Implicate Order and the unconscious all past, present and future potentialities reside in an enfolded and unmanifstated state. The ego-consciousness, like the Explicate Order, unfolds from the unconscious/Implicate Order to give physical shape, form and meaning to all that we observe and perceive in our phenomenological reality. According to Jung, Consciousness does not create itself - it wells up from unknown depths. It is not only influenced by the unconscious but continually emerges out of it in the form of numberless spontaneous ideas and sudden flashes of thought.
17

Jungian psychology can offer a model that identifies the origins for this disease of separation and a possible way for the human psyche to birth a new paradigm of health.

Specifically, there are two aspects of Jungs model of the psyche where this new model of health is most evident Individuation and Archetype of Wholeness. Individuation Individuation is the process whereby the conscious and unconscious parts of the human psyche communicate and co-exist in a state of wholeness. Although the means by which the unconscious communes with the egoconsciousness varies (e.g. myth, symbols, dreams, speech), they all convey the same message for the return and integration of the fragmented ego-consciousness with the unconscious to create the Individuated Self. Jungs notion of the separation between ego-consciousness from the unconscious offers a plausible explanation of the division we witness in our health care system that operates within a paradigm that views humans distinct and fragmented from the greater whole of the planet and the cosmos. Similar to Bohms cosmological model of non-locality and undivided wholeness, Jungs map of the psyche views human consciousness as a non-localized continuum. Borrowing Bohms jargon, we can say that the human psyche resides in undivided wholeness, but appears fragmented due to the disconnection between ego-consciousness and the unconscious. Jungs process of Individuation18 is the driving force within each of us that yearns to return to this undivided wholeness in order to manifest the emergence of the Self. Individuation is the undivided state that bridges the apparent separation of egoconsciousness from the realm of the unconscious, thus uniting the two into greater wholeness of the psyche. We recall that separation is conceptually analogous to disease

18

In addition to there being a conceptual connection between Bohm and Jungs theories, there also exists a lexical one. The etymology of the word individuation derives from the Latin individuus, literally notdivided, and is lexically and semantically identical to the word undivided in Bohms notion of undivided wholeness.

19

Jay Kumar Prof. Sean Kelly Jung Seminar Final Paper May 20, 2009

and wholeness with health. Thus, the telos19 of the human psyche is to experience Individuation - the uniting (i.e. healing) of ego-consciousness with the unconscious and from psychic fragmentation to synthesis. Jung eloquently and succinctly states, The goal of the individuation process is the synthesis of the self.20 Archetype of Wholeness This drive for Individuation is reflected in Jungs Archetype of Wholeness. Jung postulates that there resides within the unconscious part of the psyche an Archetype of Wholeness, which manifests into consciousness in the form of symbols, dreams, myth and language. Jung further discusses these manifestations of the Archetype of Wholeness by saying, As a rule they are uniting symbols, representing the conjunction of a single or double pair of oppositesThey arise from the collision between the conscious and the unconscious and from the confusion which this causes (known in alchemy as chaos or nigredo). Empirically, this confusion takes the form of restlessness and disorientation. The circle and quaternity symbolism appears at this point as a compensating principle of order, which depicts the union of warring opposites as already accomplished, and thus eases the way to a healthier and quieter state (salvation).21 There are many insightful inferences from this single passage that pertain to the notion of health. The symbols of this Archetype of Wholeness result from the clash produced by the separation between the ego-conscious and unconscious. This chaotic confusion

Literally meaning turning point, completion in ancient Greek, in Jungian psychology it is the end-point where the psyche becomes whole. The Self is the very telos of the psyche, it is the archetype of completeness and the union of opposites, and as such it is the required pre-designated union of opposites that enables all further unions to take place.

disorientation, is a metaphor for disease. The symbol of the circle arises from the unconscious as an archetypal representation of wholeness in order to produce a healthier state for the psyche. Thus, out of this dualistic clash (i.e. disease) within the psyche yields an ordered state of health. Jung believes that the symbols of the Archetype of Wholeness serve to produce an inner order which is why, when they appear in a series, they often follow chaotic, disordered states marked by conflict and anxiety. They express the idea of a safe refuge, of inner reconciliation and wholeness.22 From Jungs perspective health is, therefore, the state of wholeness within the psyche that is achieved with the emergence of the Self through the process of Individuation. If we return to our previous formula by assigning A = Ego-consciousness and B = Unconscious, we can easily arrive at a Jungian model of disease and health. Jungian notion of disease If A = Ego-consciousness; B = Unconscious A B; A B (something is either A or B); a disjunctive exclusion (Ego-concsiousness is SEPARATE from the Unconscious = DISEASE)

Jungian notion of health A = B; A B (something is both A and B); a conjunctive inclusion (Ego-concsiousness is INDIVIDUATED with Unconscious = HEALTH/SELF/WHOLENESS)

Both Bohm and Jung would agree that if we perceive of reality as composed of independent fragments, then that is how our consciousness will tend to operate. Jungs model of consciousness, like Bohms model of the cosmos, functions as a process of coherent wholeness, which is never static but an unending process of enfolding and unfolding movement.
23

If we can embrace a cosmological paradigm that functions

coherently and harmoniously in a wholeness that is undivided and non-localized then our consciousness will tend to operate in a similar way. Since our conceptualization of the cosmos and of consciousness directly determines our health paradigm, from this new model of wholeness will emerge a congruent medical system.

Section Three Language, Consciousness and the Archetype of Health From both a Jungian and Bohmian perspective, human language can be seen as the manifestation (holomovement) of a deeper language of the collective unconscious (Implicate Order) that externally manifests into consciousness (Explicate Order) as thought, grammar and speech. Within Jungs model of the psyche there reside various archetypes in the depths of the collective and personal unconscious. Among these archetypes, there perhaps may exist an archetype of Health24. This possible archetype of Health has been in the psyche since the dawn of humans and has as its primary

23

Wholeness is never comprised within the compass of the conscious mind it includes the indefinite and indefinable extent of the unconscious as well. Wholeness, empirically speaking, is therefore of immeasurable extent, older and younger than consciousness and enfolding it in time and space. Ibid, par. 299.

The word Health appears capitalized whenever it is mentioned as a Jungian archetype.

22

function to maintain the wholeness of both the individual and collective psyche. This archetype of Health is quite possibly also the unconscious agent of force behind the psyches drive toward Individuation and its desire for wholeness. There are many ways in which this particular archetype of Health communicates to the conscious aspect of our individual and collective psyche - human speech, myths and symbols. It is the first method, human speech, which will be explored in greater detail. In the pre-history of the human species, there perhaps existed a deeply embedded notion that health was conceptually synonymous with the idea of wholeness. This metaphorical connection of health as the greater universal whole exists in many ancient cultures of the world. Among the Chinese, Indian, Roman, Egyptian, Anatolian, Greek, Persian and other civilizations, whose medical texts have been preserved into present day, this concept of health as a state of wholeness was integrated into the very social, cosmological, religious and philosophical fabric of their cultural consciousness.25 Conversely, further linguistic examination reveals that there also existed a profound semantic connection of the numeral two as indicating evil/disease/strife. Although space limitation presently prevents exploration of this hypothesis in all of the worlds languages, the paper focuses on the most attested and clear examples of lexical reconstructions within the Indo-European (IE) language family.26 It is in this macro-

The commonly accepted date of an original Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language is approximately 6,000 4,000 B.C.E. The PIE language pre-dates human writing and has been hypothetically reconstructed by historical linguists using existing texts of the earliest written Indo-European (IE) languages.

23

language family where this equivalent semantic notion of health as wholeness and of disease as two-ness is abundantly evident. 27

Duality as a Disease of the Psyche We begin with the discussion of the numeral two and its semantic connection with words connoting evil/disease/strife. Most scholars of Indo-European linguistics concur that the archaic PIE reconstructed word *du(u)- two is the proto-root of the PIE lexemes *dus- bad, evil, foul, wrong and duei- to fear, doubt, be of divided mind28. The PIE root *du(u)- had an original semantic meaning of the numeral two, but it later broadened to a wider semantic sphere to express the idea of having ones mind/consciousness split in two. If this hypothesis is correct, then the extremely archaic PIE lexeme *du(u)- accounts for a myriad of words in all the early attested ancient IE language to convey the meaning of evil, fear, doubt, anguish, hate, etc.29 A brief survey of such lexemes attested in Hittite, Sanskrit, Avestan, ancient Greek, Latin and Old Germanic is provided here to illustrate this point.

27

The author acknowledges that linguistic evidence from other languages is required in order to test the validity of this hypothesis. Further evidence is to be provided in authors doctoral dissertation.
28

A possible other lexeme might be PIE *deus to lack. It is even plausible that these lexemes originate further back in time, pre-dating PIE by a few millennia, to a possible Nostratic root.
29

For the full lexical dispersion of these roots refer to Pokornys Indo-European Etymological Dictionary, pp. 227-232.

1. PIE *du(u) two a. Hittite da b. Sanskrit dve, dvau, dvic. Avestan dva d. Greek du(w)o, du, die. Latin duo, bi-30 i. Romance languages (Spanish dos, French deux, etc.) f. Old Germanic/Gothic twai, twa i. Modern Germanic (Engl. two, German zwei, etc.) 2. PIE *du- bad, evil, foul, wrong a. Sanskrit du-, dur-, du- bad, evil; duyati goes bad, goes off; dua spoiled, evil, bad; duyati spoiled, disabled. b. Avestan du-, du bad, evil c. Greek dus- wrong, bad, wicked d. Latin di-ficcilis difficult e. Gothic - tuz-wrjan doubt (German Zweifel doubt) 3. PIE duei- to fear, be in doubt, be of divided mind a. Sanskrit dvei is hated, is hostile, dvia detested, dvea hate b. Avestan - dva menace; dva, tba be hostile to, mortify

c. Greek ded(u ) to fear, dread (from an original reduplicated verbal form *d-du oi-a d(u )eima, d(u )eims fear d(u )eins terrible; d(u )eils timorous, fearful; unlucky, lamentable; en

d(u )oii in doubt. d. Latin - drus ill-omened, ominous, boding, portentous, fearful, awful, dread. Also very possibly Latin bellum war, battle belongs to this root.31

These are but just a sampling of attested words that have evolved from the original PIE lexeme *du(u)- two. It now appears that in many of the IE languages the word for two evolved into a secondary semantic idea of two-ness that came to

connote a duality or division in ones psyche. This two-ness, duality or split in ones consciousness was eventually used to express a variety of psychic illnesses such as fear, doubt, anger, dread, hate, anguish, etc. In this sense, the earliest speakers of the IE languages held in their collective unconscisous a strong semantic concept that the numeral two was a metaphor to explain various emotional and psychological afflictions and diseases of the mind. If this hypothesis holds truth that duality is linked to a bad, evil, afflicted state in PIE, then there should be lexical evidence for the opposite the absence of duality should be semantically synonymous with a notion of goodness, wellness, health. As the next section demonstrates, this is exactly the case. Wholeness as Health of the Psyche If duality is something that is undesirable and possesses a pejorative semantic quality, then its opposite, not being in a state of duality, should be a notion that is valued and actively embraced. The ancient PIE language actually had lexemes to connote this idea of not being dual. Rather than this concept of non-duality being expressed by the numeral one or not-two, it was conveyed with words that meant wholeness, allness, fullness. Specifically, the PIE lexemes *sol-os and *kei-los were collectively used in the early PIE language not only to convey the meaning of wholeness, but were also metaphorically connected to the notion of health32.

32

Although this discussion is limited to the IE languages, there is evidence to suggest that this connection between health and wholeness may have also left linguistic footprints in the Semitic languages. This is witnessed by the Hebrew shalem to complete, without defect, i.e. make whole, healthy. The word shalem is related to Hebrew shalom and Arabic salm, which in turn derive from the Proto-Semitic base l-m heal, make whole, complete. This is even attested in the ancient Akkadian words almum to heal, be(come) whole, ulmum health; almum whole. Huehnergard, J. (1997). A Grammar of Akkadian (Vol. 45). Harvard Semitic Museum Studies.

PIE *sol-os and *kei-los health, wholeness The common PIE culture perhaps possessed an ancient healing paradigm whose primary goal was to restore order and wholeness to both the individual and to the cosmos. This concept is evident in the lexicon of several IE languages, both ancient and modern, that use the word wholeness as a metaphor for health. 1. PIE *sol()- whole, all, health a. Sanskrit- sarva, sarvatt all, whole, unharmed, integral, health b. Avestan- haurva, haurvatt unharmed, whole, perfection c. Greek - hol(w)os, hol(w)ots, olos perfect, whole, unbroken d. Latin i. solus alone, single ii. salvus, sals unharmed, safe, health, whole iii. solidus solid, firm, strong iv. salvati salvation33 v. Modern Romance languages (Spanish salud, Portuguese saudade and Italian salute.) e. Tocharian A - salu; Tocharian B - solme whole f. Armenian - ol healthy, whole 2. *kei-lo healthy, unharmed, heal, whole, holy, hallow, hale, hail34 a. Germanic languages i. Gothic - hails healthy, whole ii. Icelandic heill healthy, whole iii. German heil health, success, hail iv. English whole, health, heal, holy, hail b. Slavic cl healthy, whole, unharmed

33

In its original meaning the Biblical Latin word salvati was to make whole, restore to wholeness, make safe, healthy. Thus, the Christian notion of salvation and to be saved harkens back to a primal meaning of returning to a state of wholeness, health. Although the original meaning of this word has been lost, it reveals an early connection of the intimate role between spirituality and healing. Even Jung may have been unaware of this connection between salvation and health, but refers the two words in his writing. (Refer to fn. 21)

Some IE scholars, such as Mallory and West, believe that these very archaic reconstructed lexemes (*sol-, *keilo-) demonstrate a possible very ancient PIE cosmological concept of health that implies a connection between the individual coming into wholeness with the Cosmic Order35. Thus, dating back nearly 7,000 years in the collective unconscious of the earliest PIE speakers, there was a powerful and deeply embedded idea that health and wholeness held semantic equivalence. Based on the reconstructed linguistic evidence, it is conjectured that the healing paradigm and the goal of health of the earliest PIE people was to bring the individual back from a diseased state of psychic two-ness into his/her original state of health, i.e. wholeness with the cosmos. We now come full circle. There exists an extremely archaic link, both conceptually and linguistically, between the notions of health and wholeness. We can conjecture that Jungs archetype of Wholeness is in fact an archetype of Health. This notion of health as wholeness has always resided within the human psyche. It is this return back to the primal semantic concept of wholeness = health that is meant by Jung when he says, the individual becomes what he always was. In order for humanitys return to wholeness to manifest in the collective unconscious, the reawakening of the archetype of Health is crucial. It is the archetype of Health that holds the key to the emergence of the new holistic paradigm of health.

One of the semantic meanings of the Homeric Greek word ksmos in the Illiad is order, but only later by the time of Plato and in Biblical Greek did become the word to mean universe.

Conclusion Bohms cosmological paradigm of ontological holism and Jungs map of the human psyche share a conceptual affinity. Each independently adheres to the notion of wholeness and offers applications to the emerging health paradigm. Additionally the concept of health as wholeness is semantically and lexically confirmed in human language, possibly residing as an archetype of Health in the depths of the collective unconscious and as an omnipresent enfolded energy within the Implicate Order. Everything can now be neatly summarized in the following table.

*dus*dei *d(u) Two-ness Duality Disease/Non-disease Fragmented Consciousness Occurs in the EXPLICATE ORDER

The goal of this paper was not to propose specific policies of action to implement the new paradigm of health. While that is certainly necessary, it will require a much larger discussion that will integrate economic, governmental and medical models.

29

However, the objective here was to outline an ontological framework to enable a complete re-orientation in how we as a society urgently need to adopt a paradigm of health that is congruent with the emerging new global consciousness. A societys paradigm of health is a direct reflection of whatever the current paradigm of consciousness and cosmology happen to be at a specific time and place in human history. The new field of Health Psychology concurs with this idea by saying, The concepts of health, mind and body vary across time and place, but for all cultures and cosmologies they play a fundamental role in the experience of being human.36 As long as we operate and function in a dualistic paradigm that continues to advance separation and anthropocentrism, we will never heal from this fatal disease that currently plagues the collective human psyche and the planet. The state of our health care system and that of the general human condition currently teeters in a delicate balance as we collectively as a species decide the direction in which the tipping point goes. In conclusion, the eloquent words of the author and physician, Dr. Dossey, summarize the intimate relationship among consciousness, cosmology and health. He offers us hope when he states, I do not believe the task is a hopeless one. Indeed, there are indications of an emerging paradigm in medicine that will foster an experiential awareness of the implicate order. These methodologieshave as their foundation this underlying understanding: mind and body are intrinsically united, and consciousness is the fulcrum of health.37
