"I was once on the phone with a publisher who was reading my internal workings manuscript at the time. He said, " For God's sake, tell me, is this really psychology?"I said, " Not really." "Meditation?" he asked. I laughed and said, " No, no." "Then what is it?" he asked. I said, " This is not psychology or meditation. This is a procedural work." I also told him: "Both meditation and psychology develop from each other. When you need to be aware of what is happening to you, inner work is a form of psychology. When you need to let events pass through you, the inner work takes the form of meditation." (Arnold and Amy Mindell, "Riding Backwards")
"In the early sixties, I went to Zurich to study physics. But to my own surprise, I became a Jungian analyst! Why? Because science ignored feelings and dreams. And I really liked Jung's fascination with dreams and the synchronicity principle – that is, the connection between physics and psychology... The Nobel Prize-winning physicist Werner Heisenberg intuitively foresaw this system mind many years ago. He knew that psychology and physics were really one discipline. "The same organizing forces that created nature in all its forms are also responsible for the structure of our minds." (A. Mindell, Dance of the Ancient One)
