Thanks Mythicalwave and your question is a great one. I will try to answer as best I can and maybe others can do better. Unus Mundus is the unitary foundation of both mind and matter. Archetypes exists as a kind of form or structure in this that aligns with both mind and matter, perhaps in a sort of forming role. This, I believe, connects to Bohm’s multiple layers of implicate order. Implicate order is what exists in some form within the holomovement which is largely equivalent to the Unus Mundus of Pauli-Jung. Archetypes, as I believe Atmanspacher explained, are one layer of the implicate order. Note that implicate order must become explicate order to be experienced so neither archetypes nor layers of implicate order are part of our conscious experience. They are seen, I think, as something that contributes to the formation of those experiences. Not sure if you read the entire series, if so, we can see that Eddington considered this holomovement or unus mundus the spiritual, while Wheeler called it pregeometry. Bohm also referred to it as prespace. Not sure if that helps. I am working on Polkinghorne’s version right now, but this question suggests as I begin to wrap this us, make an effort to tie these various ideas from Spinoza to the quantum physicists together in some kind of neat package. Thanks for the question!
