Synchronicity

An Acausal Connecting Principle.

C. G. Jung

The book explores the concept of synchronicity, a term coined by Jung to describe the meaningful coincidences that occur in life, which he argues are connected not by causality but by a deeper, acausal principle. It delves into the relationship between these synchronistic events and the human psyche, examining how they reveal the underlying framework of a collective unconscious and challenge the conventional scientific understanding of the universe.
