Right and Wrong

"Wrong does not stop being wrong because the majority participate in it."

 Lev Tolstoi

In 1969, the brilliant Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise Von Franz gave a series of lectures at the Carl Jung Institute in Zurich. These were transformed into the booklet Divination and Synchronicity.

Fifty years ago, the academy was still under the very positive influence of early 20th-century physicists, which ended up vigorously opening up perspectives in the most diverse areas of scientific research, and Von Franz's lectures could not be more inspiring. In the first, for example, she introduces us to the logic behind the I Ching: while Westerners think linearly, which leads to guesswork, the Chinese think in clusters of events, which leads to synchronicity. I read somewhere that the Chinese and Japanese recover much more easily from a stroke because they use both brain hemispheres in a balanced way. Even the characters in their writing are like a pebble flung swiftly across the surface of a lake. With each touch, it forms circles, which form circles, which interconnect, forming circles. While causal (linear) thinking is limited to possibilities in a continuous time, where the cause comes before the effect, synchronistic thinking brings together events and, consequently, the time comes down to the instant in which the possibility that was evaluated from the conjunction of these events becoming probability, blossom into occurrence. The Chinese do not separate physical from psychological events.

When questioning what is likely to occur simultaneously, it is essential for synchronistic thinking to look at the physical and psychic aspects of reality. As if they were grapes within reach, we can harvest a religious grain, where –mostly- the religions of the east abhor the ego; a philosophical grain, where Eastern philosophies deal with cycles; a grain that evaluates contexts, which provides synchronicity. And we arrive at the "critical moment," where Time only has instantaneous importance, the possibility that turns into probability is previously evaluated physically and psychically, where the I Ching plays the role of synthesizer -taken seriously by Easterners- from the psychic/emotional/spiritual sides.

The Chinese believe that there is a basic rhythm in Nature, that energy is constantly in flux and, consequently, there is nothing to quantify, with quality being the parameter that is sought, the Lo-Shu.

In the end, no people take the issue of harmony as seriously as the Chinese. For them, virtue is doing the right thing at the right time, and ethics is emotional, not intellectual. But, do ethics reflect a feeling? What absolutely fantastic upbringing must you have to be ethical, and not have it?

In today's Brazil, where corruption and ignorance know no bounds, there is a government program that generates false carbon credits and is a market reserve. How come? The political group of the most powerful man in the country, allied to the vexing attitude of scientists and the press, also bought by him, perpetuates our inferiority complex, our Brazil-colony DNA.

Who knows that RENOVABIO is a crime? Everyone. If you want to know the details of the crime, with names and evidence, read my book:

A Case Study About Greenwashing: The Brazilian Governmental Program RENOVABIO

You will be outraged. At least, that’s what I hope.
