| Jung’s Integration and Adaptation of Religious Daoism |

"The impact and influence that a religious tradition can have amongst culturally out-group populations can be quite unexpected and can even “boomerang” back home in equally unpredictable ways. This article explores one example of a Chinese religion’s unexpected cultural influence within the Western psychiatric community using religious Daoism and its appropriation by analytical psychologist Carl Jung. Although elements of religious Daoism, such as Daoist Internal Alchemy or the Yijing, integrated into a system of psychiatric practices, its influence was not straightforward. It will be argued that Jungian ideas such as active imagination, individuation, and synchronicity were directly influenced or inspired by Jung’s exposure to religious Daoism through Richard Wilhelm, Daoist texts, and his own adoption of Daoist Internal Alchemy techniques, an influence which would reverberate through both Western and Chinese popular culture."

"In April of 1651, the thirty-year-old Welshman Thomas Vaughan released what he said would be his last “discourse,” titled Lumen de Lumine, or a New Magical Light. It was also to be the key to his first, published the previous year and the subject of a protracted debate. Vaughan would continue to write books under the pseudonym Eugenius Philalethes (“well-born lover of truth”), but this new one would be unlike anything else he ever wrote.”
