Carl Jung and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin are considered to have contrasting archetypal and evolutionary worldviews, yet since both virtually stop at human consciousness, no matter how advanced, they are in this sense occupying the same turf of human consciousness.
We suggest that one can take Jung's inner search to the deepest past archetypes and arrive at Teilhard's “evolutionary motive force,” which is the Spirit within, what Teilhard calls the energy of Christ in the world. But we go much further than Jung or Teilhard when we suggest that the motive force within, which we could call the Evolutionary Archetype, or Spirit Archetype, is helping to activate evolution (guided by the Soul, which is the zenith of the mind-body) beyond human complexity-consciousness all the way to Godhood. We do not and cannot stop at human consciousness, no matter how advanced that consciousness. We must evolve immensely farther, far beyond the human, to future species with far higher consciousness, all the way to Godhood, which will then fulfill the deepest Evolutionary Archetype or Spirit Archetype of the Will-to-Godhood.
When Jung's archetypes are this way deepened to affirm a truly evolutionary archetype, Jung then becomes an involutionary religious thinker. And when Teilhard's evolutionary motive force is seen as an archetype, he too is understood as applying involution more than evolution toward his noosphere. We affirm a truly evolutionary scientific perspective toward Godhood, as well as the involutionary religious path to the Soul-Within; we go far beyond human consciousness, or global consciousness, beyond the present political correctness of both religion and science. God awaits those who make the evolutionary adventure.
