Intriguing revelations from Marie-Louise von Franz’s final words on synchronicity and numbers

Our newest title takes you inside fascinating conversations among Marie-Louise von Franz herself and her colleagues, and their work at the newly-founded Marie-Louise von Franz Institute for Studies in Synchronicity (MLFI) in Zurich from 1994 to 1998.

October 1993: Marie-Louise von Franz recounts a dream of “a new job.”

She is the new apprentice postman at the Bollingen post office! Her mission is to continue Jung’s work on number, quantum physics, synchronicity and depth psychology. She must deliver this “letter” to a new generation which still may not be ready for the message.

Conversations is this letter: a glimpse into the profound thinking and powerful intuition that brought us some of the most important Jungian scholarship ever written.

The editors, Robin Mindell and Christophe Le Mouël, present a series of seven conversations which explore the resonances and convergences of synchronicity, number, quantum physics, and Jung’s central concepts of depth psychology. Some conversations involve surprising revelations about her analytical work with Wolfgang Pauli. She shares her own reflections about the psyche’s progress toward death and what may come next. As von Franz was becoming increasingly ill with Parkinsonism, there is an urgency to these discussions. She knew her time was limited. This book captures her unyielding commitment to honoring Jung’s legacy and pushing forward the frontiers of depth psychology.

The editors essentially bring us into the room as von Franz works with her colleagues to formulate these ideas, at a time when neuroscience, chaos theory and quantum physics were still emerging fields.
