The Concept of Synchronicity in Jung's Work
Jung's exploration of synchronicity is influenced by his discussions with physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Synchronicity is seen as a cosmic phenomenon that goes beyond cause and effect. Jung uses a Cartesian coordinate diagram to explain synchronicity as a combination of space and time, with a casual dimension on one end and synchronistic dimension on the other. He argues that synchronistic events are meaningful coincidences and cannot be simply attributed to chance.
