Foundational Theory Sets
• Psychiatrist C. G. Jung developed foundational theories about many of the concepts raised in this book, including archetypes, projection, shadow, synchronicity, and the importance of listening to the wisdom of the unconscious as revealed in dreams and active imagination. He also wrote about how what he called the transcendent function kicks in when we are willing to hold the tension within ourselves or with others of opposed views and desires long enough that a third option suddenly is revealed. This breakthrough often is communicated to us through a dream, image, or bodily sensation of just knowing. Jung’s concept informs the idea of a third thing or third option utilized in several essays in this volume. For more information, go to Pacifica Graduate Institute (http://www.pacifica.edu) or do a search to find the many Jungian resources accessible online and institutes and resources available in your area.
