Teilhard de Chardin: '... the One joined in battle with... this non-existent multiplicity which stood in opposition to the One by way of defiant contradiction. To create is to condense, to concentrate, to organize, to unify.'

Hillman cites Teilhard alongside Barth and Jaspers as a representative of the spirit's monotheistic drive to annihilate the daimonic through unification, contrasting this directly with archetypal psychology's commitment to multiplicity.

Teilhard's view here is clearly the perspective of the senex archetype

Hillman interprets Teilhard's unifying cosmology as an expression of the senex archetype — ordering, condensing, and suppressing the proliferative vitality of soul — situating him within an archetypal typology rather than engaging his theology directly.
