Abstract
Peace is not naive but impertinent! "Holism" can be understood in very different ways and be used as a further weapon in the prevailing war culture. "Holo" was applied to one of the main horrors of the twentieth century: the Holocaust. Holism has lights and shadows. It can extol the light, as antithesis of darkness-evil, in the naive belief that if we pay attention to the luminous side everything will work well . Art Levine (1985) has caricatured this "positive thinking" approach as "the Pollyanna paradigm" . Jung conceives the term holism and its variants as "totality." A totality understood as totalities, or holons, which, at the same time, are parts of higher totalities. An implicit order, the UNUS MUNDUS of alchemy, is an example of a unified field of evolutionary relationship between matter, psyche and spirit. Synchronicity is a particularly powerful manifestation of the field with its resonant reflections of internal and external events. I will present a Basque mythical telling: "Etsai and Axular", which contemplates totality in the sense of Jung: "There is no light without shadow and no psychic totality free from imperfections ... Life does not require us to be perfect but complete; And for this, the "thorn in the flesh" is needed, the suffering of defects without which there is no progress or ascent. " The story allows inferring hypotheses about the armed struggle and the construction of peace in the recent history of Euskal Herria (the Basque people).
