small god of the world. I am only the bindu, but the bzja letter, the real
thing, is the self, and whatever I do is moved or caused by the bzja-deva.
So one understands right away that part of the Eastern symbolism, despite
the fact that in our mandalas it is never in such a form because we
don’t know what the gods are. We have not the faintest idea of God, we
have only a philosophical conception of the summum bonum as the Christian
God in heaven, which we cannot imagine properly, and therefore
we cannot put it into our mandalas. Well, that is the main thing I wanted
to say. One could talk, of course, for a couple of centuries, but other
people must do that—I won’t live so long.
Professor Hauer: I have been most interested, it has been most enlightening—and
I think that if we take just the psychic elements, these experiences
may help us a long way toward the creating of new mandalas. I
would not agree, perhaps, with every explanation, but to a great extent
with the fact that there are first physiological centers, then psychic centers,
and so on. I suppose it would be a great thing for the Indian yogins
to listen to Dr. Jung; it would help them to get those cakras into motion
again, they have made them into a metaphysical condensation and do
not see and feel so much, just the psychic aspect, and it is very important
to have that side. But then, of course, the development in India was
the other way, toward metaphysics. There were two causes, I think, for
the creation of the heart mandala. First, through certain experiences in
the heart; the great intuitions did not come through thinking, it is said
thousands of times in the Upanishads. They felt that the deepest intuition—which
stands always for the creative power in India—was from the
heart. Then I am sure that physiologically the breathing had some
influence on the composition; and last, of course, they went on to the
metapsychical and metaphysical. And I think the study of the symbolism
of tantric yoga may help us to push forward in the direction of the metapsychical
and metaphysical. For as I look at it, every center has a psychic
and a physical aspect, as well as the metaphysical and metapsychic aspects.
That is indicated in the letters and so on, and also in the bzjas.
Further, the gods are psychic as well as metapsychic and metaphysical.
So I would say that if we work together from different sides, the yogin
coming from above, let us say—
Dr. Jung: And I from below!
Professor Hauer: Then the great event may happen, as with that girl,
your patient. When the two things come together, the child will be born.
So I hope something will come out of the work we have done here.
