A concise account of Joachim of Fiori's theology and its relevance, as Jung saw it, to spiritual problems of our times. Joachim (1135-1202) foresaw a change in the relation of man and God. He attributed this to a coming metaphysical event, the descent of the Holy Spirit into man leading to the awakening of spiritual awareness. In his scheme of thought men would then turn away from the world to become vessels for the Spirit's incarnation. Today the position seems to be reversed; man has lost the certainty of divine intervention. He is essentially a creature of this world, of its opposites and contradictions. But in the acceptance of his personal share in its conflicts and the responsibility for his own salvation he may come of age and gain a sense of the ultimate order of things and of his place in it.
