Carl Gustav Jung's theory of coincidence





Diagram illustrating concept of synchronicity by CG Jung.




“Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner.”  Jung coined the word to describe what he called “temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events.” Jung variously described synchronicity as an “acausal connecting principle,” “meaningful coincidence” and “acausal parallelism.”

I have now read up on jung's  theory of synchronicity ....it will  not  overtly impact the way I make my book.... but is is useful to be aware of it.
