death and birth concepts (wei wu wei)

 

Death” and “birth” are only apparently separated
as a consequence of the conceptual extension
of the concept of matter in space and duration.

-- Wei Wu Wei, from Posthumous Pieces

matter and mind (jung)

Microphysics is moving into the unknown side of 'matter,' just as complex psychology is moving into the unknown side of the 'psyche.' The concept of the relativity of mass does not actually explain anything, and neither does the relativity of time and space; it is simply a formulation. These opposites only come into being through the projection onto space of what is in itself a non-spatial, transcendental, existence.

-- Carl Jung, Atom and Archetype: The Pauli-Jung Letters, 1932-1958
