Pauli sees consciousness as the active part in the drama (more so than Jung), while the unconscious is more passive and helpless. It can create a disturbance to be sure, but it cannot have any kind of consciousness or ‘intention’. Pauli may to some extent have changed his mind concerning this question later in life, as he seems to have wanted to make room for the experience that there is something in the unconscious…that demands widening of consciousness.

That the unconscious should contain intentions, ‘will’ or semi-conscious contents was a notion that Pauli could not accept.

…one must recall Jung’s specific view of the unconscious. It is not a receptacle for suppressed material but our living and creative psychophysical source. To Jung the unconscious is synonymous with a ‘non-visual reality’ which is always acting on us.

…Jung believes that a spontaneous process of maturing is taking place in the unconscious which is quite independent of whether consciousness is interacting with the unconscious or not. The unconscious shows a kind of direction, intention or will and acts as a driving force behind the development of consciousness.

Jung’s concept of the psyche was according to Pauli at great risk of becoming ‘overloaded’, i. e. of expanding beyond its proper limits and consequently turning into a tautological or redundant concept. Jung comes close to repeating the mistake of Platonic idealism which isolates the psyche from the material and natural processes.

Pauli’s preferences were decidedly non-platonic. In contrast to Plato, Pauli was looking for the link between sensory impressions and concepts. This question hardly interested Plato, who considered sensory experience of no crucial importance to human knowledge. Real knowledge is based solely on reason.

Among other things he [Pauli] wanted the lecturers at the [Jung] Institute to demonstrate their competence by ensuring that their students produced original empirical or theoretical work. At the same time he criticized the psychotherapeutic practice, which was beginning increasingly to resemble profitable big business with assembly-line analyses.

Pauli…saw himself as the scientific sponsor of the Jung Institute [in Zürich] and with time became increasingly troubled when he saw that the Institute was not following Jung’s original aims. In the summer of 1956 he wrote three angry letters to the trustees of the Institute, in which he called for its activities to be subjected to stricter scientific requirements. He felt that the Institute was threatening to damage and nullify Jung’s efforts to bring his psychology in as a branch of science.
