These words are not my own and I take no credit for them. I share them here as a resource for anyone seeking personal growth or as source material for their own creative expansion of the collective.
When you experience a synchronicity, think of it as a benevolent message from the collective unconscious.
…the Self makes itself known to you through synchronicities. These are meaningful coincidences between simultaneous events that have no discernible cause-and-effect relationship.
I was investigating the phenomena of the collective unconscious and kept coming across connections which I could not explain as chance groupings or "runs." What I found were "coincidences" which were connected so meaningfully that their "chance" concurrence would represent a degree of improbability that would have to be expressed by an astronomical figure.
What Jung calls synchronistic events are in fact something like "acts of creation in time."
Synchronistic events, moreover, almost invariably accompany the crucial phases of the process of individuation. But too often they pass unnoticed, because the individual has not learned to watch for such coincidences and to make them meaningful in relation to the symbolism of his dreams.
Dr. Jung put forward a new concept that he called synchronicity. This term means a "meaningful coincidence" of outer and inner events that are not themselves causally connected. The emphasis lies on the word "meaningful."
