syn·chro·nic·i·ty
Pronunciation: "si[ng]-kr&-'ni-s&-tE, sin-
Function: noun
-
the quality or fact of being synchronous
- the
coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events
(as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental
image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related
but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality
used especially in the psychology of Dr. C. G. Jung
“In Jung’s thinking, the activation or awakening of an archetype
releases a great deal of power, analogous to splitting the atom.
The power, in the immediate vicinity of the psychoid process from
which the archetype takes its origin, is the catalyst for the
synchoronistic event. The idea is that the activation of an archetype
releases patterning forces that can restructure events both in
the psyche and in the external world. This restructuring proceeds
in an acausal fashion, operating outside the laws of causality.
The power that is released is felt as numinosity – literally a
sense of the divine or cosmic. It is describe by Jung’s student
Ira Progoff as “a sense of transcendent validity, authenticity,
and essential divinity.”

“Without numinosity things and other persons remain mere images
to the individual because there is no psychic energy exchanged;
that is, the individual feels no emotional attachment. The lack
of numinosity in many lives of contemporary society is the result
of the scientific understanding of things. Currently most things,
including people, are described in scientific terms, which have
dehumanized the individual.”
