Things that occur together; Jung's theory that the collective unconscious of humans acts to create events that occur together.

a coincidence that is so unusual and so meaningful they could hardly be attributed to chance alone

a coming together of seemingly unrelated events

an energetic event that matches a thought, that is why we view it as an improbable coincidence

an unexpected event or coincident that comes about based on a previuos expierience/vision or as a resolution to an intractable psychological dilemmna

Unexplained system of causal interaction which binds together events, actions and thought, manifesting as uncanny coincidences. Term for and existence of this phenomenon was first proposed by pioneering psycho-analyst, Carl Gustav Jung (a contemporary of Sigmund Freud). Synchronicity indicates there is more to the Universe than our understanding of simple cause and effect, and that the subtleties of the mind and matter are somehow interconnected.

A simultaneous, acausal connection between two seemingly unrelated and random events.

A principle developed by the eminent psychiatrist Carl Jung, which takes the coincidence of events in space and time as meaning something more than mere chance, namely, a peculiar interdependence of objective events among themselves as well as with the subjective or psychic states of the observer or observers.

(synchronistic principle): "Acausal connecting principle," the supposed equivalent of a cause. Carl Jung (see "Jungian psychology") posited synchronicitywhich he equated with the Taoto describe meaningful but apparently accidental concurrences or sequences of events.

(Jungian) the priciple that links events acausally and there is a subjective meaningfulness of the coincidence. For example: two acausal events (1. one's inner thought or feeling) and (2. one's experience of an outer event in the external world) that happen simultaneously. They are connected by meaning to the person experiencing the synchronistic event.

A term introduced by psychologist Dr. Jung and physicist Dr. Pauli to describe connections, or meaningful "coincidences," that do not make sense in terms of cause-and-effect. It is thought by some that such connections may indicate the Hidden Variable at work or some sort of nonlocal Information System. [Illuminati Papers, 1980

An acausal connecting principle. A principle that links events acausally, that is, in terms of the subjective meaningfulness of the coincidence, rather than by cause and effect.

The principle or belief that meaningful, acausal links or relationships exist between phenomena. For example, you dream about termites and the next day you discover that your home is infested with them, or you interpret a Tarot card to mean that you will bump into a certain friend later that day, and you do. Swiss psychologist Carl Jung coined the term.

A term coined by Jung for a postulated "acausal connecting principle" to explain the occurrence of meaningful coincidence, i.e., whenever an inner psychic happening (dream, vision, premonition) is accompanied by a corresponding outer physical event which could not have been causally connected with the former. Most cases of extrasensory perception are considered to be examples of synchronicity.

Meaningful coincidences that often are mediated by subconscious psi activity. Our intuitive/psi faculty nudges our paths into meaningful intersections in times of need. TELEKINESIS, PSYCHOKINESIS, LEVITATION - To move an object or your body without physical means. A common theory is that TK works by energy fields (magnetic or electric) or by "waves" of psychic energy that are actually dense enough to push/repel an object or draw it inward. Most people's only encounter with TK is accidental-something mysteriously falls over or objects fly around a room, a phenomena often mistaken for a poltergeist when it may actually be a person with spontaneous telekinetic powers.

Jung's term for the acausal determining principle that governs "sym­bolic" coincidences in a person's life (e.g., an old man's clock stopping at the moment he dies).

A concept coined by Jung. It denotes a meaningful coincidence or correspondence of two or more outer and inner events. It signifies the meaningful concurrence of a physical and a psychic event which are connected not causally but by meaning.

The conjunction of events which have the same meaning happening at the same time without any apparent cause, connection or known reason linking them.

Term coined by Carl Jung (with Wolfgang Pauli, 1955) to refer to the occurrence of acausal but meaningful coincidences. [From the Greek synchronos, derived from synchronizein, “to be contemporary with,” derived from syn-, “with,” + chronos, “time

The concept popularised by the analytical psychologist C. G. Jung that celestials do not have a direct causal effect on phenomena, but rather present a timed map, whereby events and characteristics that occur on Earth (marked in the hosocope) can be tracked and interpreted, because stars and planets are thought to be "in sync" or "synchronous" with these events and phenomena, even though they have no causal relationship. This idea of an "a-causal relationship" or "meaningful coincidence" is not the traditional view, but is popular among modern Western psychological astrologers, as it does not seem to require any demonstration of causal force involving action at a distance as yet unknown to physics.

Synchronicity is a word that Swiss psychologist Carl Jung used to describe the "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung spoke of synchronicity as an "'acausal connecting principle'" (i.e. a pattern of connection that cannot be explained by direct causality) a "‘meaningful coincidence’" or as an "‘acausal parallelism’". Cause-and-effect, in Jung's mind, seemed to have nothing to do with it.
