Pauli writes about the destruction of symmetry between the "internal" and "external" in our age. Science systematically excludes the observer from its results. Since Kepler, there has been no mystic in science. He also comments on a talk with Panofsky on the parallel between the myths of paradise, Eve, and the Pandora's box.

Pauli admits his blunder in predicting the conservation of parity and attempts to explain the psychological background. He writes on the symbolism of mirror-images, on his recent correspondance with Heisenberg on the dipole ghosts and psychological remarks about it.

Pauli asks about a letter by two Italian physicists concerning Neumann's macro-observables. He writes on a gnostic myth about the mirror image of Nous which appears as Physics. This symmetrical relation forms the basis of physics.

Pauli writes on the physical ideas of the Stoics, their "pneuma" and determinism and field physics as against the Greek atomism. The modern field physics is a direct descendent of the Stoa and the old conflict between atomists and continuists still exists today.
