Mediumship and its Cognitive “Survival” in Identification of Collective Individuation Part VI. Csontváry’s Vision (Picture) of the Wailing Wall and Jung’s Fatehpur Dream, a Comparison

In this part of the paper we intend to show a hermeneutical comparison between Csontváry's Wailing Wall picture and Jung's famous Fatehpur dream as characteristic manifestations of the collective individuation. We discuss their mainly unconscious participation mystique with Sabbatai Zwi and his “theology” together with their interest in the `David-Uriah' mythologem. Afterward we analyze the mediumship of Csontváry comparing with the mediumship of C. G. Jung and W. Pauli.

I. Introduction

Csontváry’s special medium-like vision (described in Part I of this article), along with his own retrocognitive and precognitive hypotheses, can be compared to C. G. Jung’s well-known and well-publicized Fatehpur Divan i Kas dream. The 44 years (דלי =44 =Aqarius) between the visionary picture of 1904 and the dream of 1948 tell us a lot. As we have seen, the center of the Csontváry picture is Theodor Herzl, who died in 1904. Interestingly, James Joyce’s book, Ulysses, dates back as a fiction to 1904, and features a Hungarian Jew Leopold Bloom, according to his dream in the novel, he is a (fictive) messianic crowned Hungarian king, whose son and grandfather also bear the name Rudolf. Again, the names take us back to the Hungarian Habsburg kings. After all, Rudolf, seen in the Csontváry picture, on the straight paternal lineage derives from Leopold II (also from (Lipot) Leopold I. through Maria Theresa).
