Jung said he "never got his bearings in mathematics" (MDR, p. 28) even though he could calculate properly. Paul Budnik Jr., in his "What is and what will be" talks about this. He says that "mathematical identity is not existential identity" (p. 201 of rough draft) Two objects may have similar properties but their existence in time and space keep them from being identical.
What would it mean to get one's bearings with math? Would it mean seeing structure without it becoming a dead certainty as it does today? Would math then be more a part of dream interpretations and active imagination? To answer that question means looking at how structure lives in the psyche and how it relates to the psyche and symbols.
