Carl Jung coined the term 'synchronicity' to describe meaningful concidences that conventional notions of time and causality cannot explain. Working with the great quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli, Jung sought to reveal these coincidences as phenomena that involve mind and matter, science and spirit. This could provide rational explanations for parapsychological events like telepathy, precognition and intuition. This book examines the work of Jung and Pauli, as well as the noted scientists Paul Kammerer, Werner Heisenberg and David Bohm. The authors give examples of synchronicity from everyday life, literature and mythology, particularly the Greek legend of Hermes the Trickster. They provide an accessible and intelligent exploration of this intriguing concept, giving a glimpse into the hidden patterns of nature.
