Carl Jung

Coincidences can teach us much if we learn to decipher their meanings.

If you believe synchronicity is simply coincidence, then you haven’t read any of the top experts in the field. The famous psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung coined the term synchronicity in the 1920s to reference the alignment of universal forces with a person’s experiences.

Biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and famed psychiatrist Carl Jung have taken different—but complementary—approaches to synchronicity.

Philosopher and psychologist Dr. Richard Tarnas looks at why synchronicity entered the Western consciousness when it did and why it’s important.

As Dr. Bernard Beitman establishes a science of coincidences, he looks to Jung’s scarab synchronicity to see how coincidence may be used in psychotherapy.

Many scientific advancements throughout history have had very clever scientists and a lot of hard work behind them. Many have also seemingly had a good measure of luck, coincidence, intuition, or something perhaps less “scientific” or less “logical” behind them.

Dean Radin has heard many synchronicity stories, but one of the strangest he has ever heard happened to him. The coincidences in his story pile up one after another.
