With reference to my article, Finding Heaven . . .  Once Upon a Time, in which I talked about my personal experience of the One World, or Unus Mundus, which is the goal of individuation and alchemy. One of my friends told me that she couldn’t find any information on the web about this phenomenon.

This state of being,  incidentally,  in which you experience yourself as being unified with, or,  at-one with,  all of Creation,  is also the “healed,” or “whole,” state,  symbolized by the Holy Grail.  Basically, the Quest for the Grail, is the quest for wholeness and healing, so that once again, we may be re-united with the land - literally. (Love the film, “Excalibur,” which tells this story.)

If you remember, in the grail legends, the knights are searching for the grail so that both King Arthur  and the land will  be “One” ie. healed, re-united. They had both fallen ill and were wasting away,  if you recall.  

Anyway, there’s  an essay by the famous Jungian,  Marie-Louise Von Franz,  on ”The New Alchemy Website,” entitled “The Unus Mundus and Synchronicity,” (1979) which is taken from Von Franz’  “Alchemical Active Imagination.

The essay on the Unus Mundus is listed on the website’s Homepage under the section,  ”Brief Extracts on Analytical Psychology.” Happy reading, and don’t worry, the extract isn’t very long.
