"Carl Jung offered synchronicity as an acausal "principle of explanation" to account for "certain remarkable manifestations of the unconscious." He saw the principle of synchronicity as an addition to the principle of psychic causality, which Freud had emphasized so strongly." Jung "found that there are psychic parallelisms which simply cannot be related to each other causally," such as "the simultaneous occurrence of identical thoughts, symbolism or psychic states" in analyst and analysand. In cultural history, one can also observe uncanny parallels, such as the coincidence of Chinese and European periods of style pointed out by Jung's friend Richard Wilhelm, the German translator of the Confucian classic I Ching (Book of changes; also romanized as Yijing). This ancient book of wisdom has been used throughout its history as an oracle. Jung tested Wilhelm's translation by counting out yarrow stalks and tossing coins—the traditional chance operations of Chinese divination—to locate specific chapters and verses in the I Ching, which he found would speak, like well-timed analytic interpretations, to his psychological situation at the time.

Publication Date: 1986
Synchronicity: "Repeated experiences that indicated events do not always obey the rules of time, space and causality led lung to search for what might lie beyond those rules. He developed the concept of synchronicity which he defined in several ways:

(1) as an 'acausal connecting principle'
(2) as referring to events meaningfully but not causally related (i.e. not coinciding in time and space)
(3) as referring to events that coincide in time and space but can also be seen to have meaningful psychological connections
(4) as linking the psychic and the material worlds (in lung's writings on synchronicity, often, but not always, the inorganic material world)." (p. 146) [Read more]

Synchronicity. "A phenomenon where an event in the outside world coincides meaningfully with a psychological state of mind. (Sharp, 1991)".
Synchronicity . . . consists of two factors: a) An unconscious image comes into consciousness either directly (i.e., literally) or indirectly (symbolized or suggested) in the form of a dream, idea, or premonition. b) An objective situation coincides with this content. The one is as puzzling as the other.["Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle," CW 8, para. 858.]

"Synchronicity" In Encyclopedia of psychology and religion (3rd ed.) by Frances Campbell
ISBN: 9780387718026
Publication Date: 2020
Synchronicity: ”As a practicing psychoanalyst, Carl Jung became aware of a process of meaningful coincidence between physical events and the subjective states of his patients. He termed this phenomena synchronicity and he came to believe that the acknowledgement and utilization of synchronous phenomena was a valuable tool in the process of understanding and interpreting the expressions and manifestations of the psyche.."

"Synchronicity" in A guided tour of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung by Robert H. Hopcke
Call Number: REF BF173 .J85 H66
ISBN: 9781570624056
Publication Date: 1999
Synchronicity: "Synchronicity, since Jung’s introduction of the concept in 1951, has remained among the most original and controversial ideas in analytical psychology and, at times, one of the most difficult to grasp. The title of Jung’s work on the subject, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, provides the term’s definition: Synchronicity is a principle that links events acausally, that is, in terms of the subjective meaningfulness of the coincidence, rather than by cause and effect. Thus, understanding synchronicity and synchronistic events requires a way of thinking almost entirely foreign to Western culture, a way of thinking that does not separate the physical world from interior psychic events. The phrase that often occurs with regard to Jung’s concept of synchronicity is unus mundus, Latin for “one world.” Synchronicity requires that one consider the world a unified field in which subject and object are fundamentally one, two different manifestations of the same basic reality."

Jung on synchronicity and the paranormal by R. Main (Ed.)
Publication Date: 1998
"C. G. Jung had a lifelong interest in the paranormal that culminated in his influential theory of synchronicity. Combining extracts taken from the Collected Works; letters; the autobiographical Memories, Dreams, Reflections; and transcripts of seminars, Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal sets out clearly his seminal contribution to our understanding of this controversial area. In his Introduction, Roderick Main discusses Jung's encounters with and observations of the paranormal, the influences that contributed to his theory of synchronicity, and the central ideas of the theory itself. The selections include Jung's writings on mediumistic trance phenomena, spirits and hauntings, anomalous events in the development and practice of analytical psychology, and the divinatory techniques of astrology and the I Ching. The book also features Jung's most lucid account of his theory in the form of his short essay "On Synchronicity," and a number of Jung's less-known writings on parapsychology, his astrological experiment, and the relationship between mind and body. Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal addresses subjects that were fundamental to Jung's personal and professional development. Probing deeply into the theory of synchronicity, Roderick Main clarifies issues that have long been a source of confusion to Jung's readers." [Read more]

Ebooks available from the library:

The Interpretation of nature and the psyche by C. G. Jung; Wolfgang Pauli; Roderick Main (Ed.)
ISBN: 9781315101606
Publication Date: 1952/2022
"This book includes essays that emphasize the part played by pre-existing images or archetypes in the development of concepts and scientific theories and stress the need for complementary principles in nature. It is a translation of "Synchronizitat als ein Prinzip akausaler Zusammenhange". In 1952 Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli, both at the height of their reputations, co-wrote The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche. It contained one essay by each author: Jung's presents a challenge to mainstream science and advances the principle of synchronicity and Pauli's argues for a more holistic conception of modern science. Roderick Main presents the original essays here with a brand-new introduction and commentary which reviews how the original text was viewed, and which traces the subsequent influences of both the essays and the two authors."
The rupture of time by Roderick Main
Call Number: Lambert library: BF175.5.C65 M35 2004
ISBN: 9780203501467
Publication Date: 2004
"Why was the idea of synchronicity so important to Jung? Jung's theory of synchronicity radically challenges the entrenched assumptions of mainstream modern culture in the West. It is one of the most fascinating yet difficult and discomfiting of Jung's psychological theories. The Rupture of Time aims to clarify what Jung really meant by synchronicity, why the idea was so important to him and how it informed his thinking about modern western culture. Areas examined include:
* how the theory fits into Jung's overall psychological model and the significance of its apparent inconsistencies
* the wide range of personal, intellectual and social contexts of Jung's thinking on the topic
* how Jung himself applied the theory of synchronicity within his critique of science, religion, and society
* the continuing relevance of the theory for understanding issues in contemporary detraditionalised religion.
Focusing closely on Jung's own writings and statements, this book discloses that the theory of synchronicity is not an inconsequential addendum to analytical psychology but is central to the psychological project that occupied Jung throughout his professional life. This much-needed clarification of one of Jung's central tenets will be of great interest to all analytical psychologists and scholars engaged with Jungian thought." [Read more]
Synchronicity: Nature and psyche in an interconnected universe by Joseph Cambray
- This link opens in a new window
ISBN: 9781603443661
Publication Date: 2009
"Jung published a paradoxical hypothesis on synchronicity that marked an attempt to expand the western world’s conception of the relationship between nature and the psyche. Jung’s hypothesis sought to break down the polarizing cause-effect assessment of the world and psyche, suggesting that everything is interconnected. Thus, synchronicity is both "a meaningful event" and "an acausal connecting principle." Evaluating the world in this manner opened the door to "exploring the possibility of meaning in chance or random events, deciphering if and when meaning might be present even if outside conscious awareness." Now, after contextualizing Jung’s work in relation to contemporary scientific advancements such as relativity and quantum theories, Joseph Cambray explores in this book how Jung’s theories, practices, and clinical methods influenced the current field of complexity theory, which works with a paradox similar to Jung’s synchronicity: the importance of symmetry as well as the need to break that symmetry for "emergence" to occur. Finally, Cambray provides his unique contribution to the field by attempting to trace "cultural synchronicities," a reconsideration of historical events in terms of their synchronistic aspects. For example, he examines the emergence of democracy in ancient Greece in order "to find a model of group decision making based on emergentist principles with a synchronistic core."

Complexity, ecology, symbolism, and synchronicity In Research in analytical psychology by Joseph Cambray; Joseph Cambray and Leslie Sawin (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781315448589
Publication Date: 2018
"This chapter seeks to articulate efforts to include this approach within the Jungian perspective. Complexity science is an amalgam of various disciplines, with origins in general systems theory, cybernetics, and dynamic, non-linear systems theory, with indirect incorporation of components from artificial intelligence, fractal geometry, and chaos theory, as well as various subspecialties that evolved in each domain. The use of networks to graphically describe amplificatory processes was initiated by Jung in the mid-1920s, the period in which Jung was giving seminars to his students. Jolande Jacobi presents an example of this in her 1942 book on The Psychology of C. G. Jung. As network science has developed and expanded over the last several decades, applications of networks to ecological systems have grown apace. The science of complexity emerged in the late 20th century, and with technological advance in information processing has expanded to become one of the most important contemporary directions in scholarly studies."

The composition of synchronicity In The many faces of coincidence by Laurence Browne
ISBN: 9781845409524
Publication Date: 2017
"Although much has been said and written about coincidences, there is a marked absence when it comes to the development of a comprehensive model that incorporates the many different ways in which they can be understood and explained. One reason for this omission is undoubtedly the sharp divide that exists between those who find coincidences meaningful and those who do not, with the result that the conclusions of the many books and articles on the subject have tended to fall into distinct camps. The Many Faces of Coincidence attempts to remedy this impasse by proposing an inclusive categorisation for coincidences of all shapes and sizes. At the same time, some of the implications arising from the various explanations are explored, including the possibility of an underlying unity of mind and matter constituting the ground of being."

Investigating synchronistic events in psychotherapy in The Pauli-Jung conjecture and its impact today by Christian Roesler; Harald Atmanspacher and Christopher A. Fuchs (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781845407599
Publication Date: 2017
"According to Jung's original definition of synchronicity, psychotherapy can be considered as an outstanding field where synchronistic events can be expected to appear. Even though synchronicity has been discussed intensively in recent years, up to now there has been no attempt to observe and document synchronistic events in psychotherapy in any systematic fashion. There are several collections of reports of synchronistic events, either documented in a more or less anecdotal way or resulting from broader investigations of so-called anomalous phenomena. The psychotherapeutic setting presents the opportunity to observe synchronistic events systematically and prospectively, and to link them with other data concerning the patient, his/her psychodynamics, and interpersonal and other conditions. Moreover, it offers the option to test Jung's assumption that synchronistic events are connected to the patient's process of individuation. A systematic research frame is proposed for Jungian psychotherapy in order to collect corresponding data. First results from a pilot study are reported." [Read more]
The lawful irrationality of synchronicity in Jung in the 21st century: Vol. two. Synchronicity and science by John Ryan Haule
Call Number: BF173 .J85 H38 2010
ISBN: 9780415578028
Publication Date: 2010
"This second volume explores Jung's understanding of synchronicity and argues that it offers an important contribution to contemporary science. Whilst the scientific world has often ignored Jung's theories as being too much like mysticism, Haule argues that what the human psyche knows beyond sensory perception is extremely valuable. Divided into two parts, areas of discussion include: shamanism and mastery border zones of exact science meditation, parapsychology and psychokinesis Jung in the 21st Century Volume Two: Synchronicity and Science will, like the first volume, be an invaluable resource for all those in the field of analytical psychology, including students of Jung, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists with an interest in the meeting of Jung and science."

Of time and eternity: Synchronicity In Jung's map of the soul, (pp. 210-221) by Murray Stein
Call Number: BF173 .S674 1998
Publication Date: 1998
"From his first attempts to explore the human soul and to map it and its boundaries, Jung was fascinated by what happens on the borders. This was his temperament—he loved to push at the edges of the already known. His first major study was a dissertation on mediumistic trances and the wondrous accounts of long-dead personages by his young cousin, Helene Preiswerk. This was a psychological investigation of the relation between normal and paranormal states of consciousness. Subsequent works on word association and the theory of complexes studied the boundaries between conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche. Pressing further into the territory of the unconscious, Jung found another borderland. This one lay between personal and impersonal contents of the unconscious, between the territory of the complexes and that of the archetypal image-and-instinct combinations. In his consequent investigations of the self, he found a point of transgression at the boundary between psyche and nonpsyche. Since the archetype per se is psychoid and does not strictly belong within the confines of the psyches boundaries, it bridges between inner and outer worlds and breaks down the subject-object dichotomy."

On Divination and Synchronicity by Marie-Louise Von Franz
Call Number: BF1175 .F7
ISBN: 9780585176925
Publication Date: 1980
"Marie-Louise von Franz, for many years a coworker with C.G. Jung, is an acknowledged authority on the psychological interpretation of fairytales, dreams, myths, and alchemy. In this book, originally a series of lectures at the Jung Institute in Zurich, she turns her attention to the meaning of the irrational. With penetrating insight she examines the psychological background to time, number, and methods of divining fate such as the I Ching, astrology, Tarot cards, palmistry, dice, random patterns, etc. Contrasting Western scientific attitudes with those of the Chinese and so-called primitives, she explains and illustrates Jung's ideas on archetypes, projection, psychic energy, and synchronicity."
Research on synchronicity: Status and prospects In Research in analytical psychology by Roderick Main; Joseph Cambray and Leslie Sawin (Eds.)
Call Number: BF173.J85 R47 2018 (Browse shelf)
ISBN: 9781315448589
Publication Date: 2018
"This chapter provides an overview of existing research on the concept of synchronicity, from which some promising directions for research are then highlighted under various headings: conceptual, empirical, historical, theoretical, clinical, and cultural. Jung defined synchronicity in a variety of ways. Concisely, he defined it as "meaningful coincidence as "acausal parallelism" as "an acausal connecting principle" and once, more poetically, as "the 'rupture of time' ". More fully, he defined it as "the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state." Jung's work on synchronicity was also inspired by psychical research and especially by the work of Joseph Banks Rhine in the new discipline of parapsychology. These newer or aspiring sciences have provided significant foci within the work of Mansfield, Storm, and Haule." [Read more]

Synchronicity and healing in Integrative psychiatry by Beitman, B. D., Celebi, E., & Coleman, S. L.
ISBN: 9780199748501
Publication Date: 2010
"We begin with the concept of synchronicity and a proposed definition. Next, we present brief descriptions of several of its many theoretical explanations and end with the recognition that, while we have no satisfactory explanation for it, synchronicity may offer several benefits, including encouragement, psychological insight, guidance, confirmation of decisions, and increased spirituality. We then provide a brief overview of synchronicity-related research, with major emphasis on our Weird Coincidence Survey. Finally, we address the problem of interpreting synchronicities, followed by their potential use in psychotherapy and implications for future research."
Synchronicity and the experience of psychophysical correlations In Research in analytical psychology: Empirical research by Harald Atmanspacher; Christian Roesler (Ed.)
ISBN: 9781315527161
Publication Date: 2018
"In the mid-20th century, the physicist Wolfgang Pauli and the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung proposed a conceptual framework, not more than speculative at the time, which may help us to clarify psychophysical phenomena beyond what our knowledge about the mental and the physical in separation are capable of achieving. Their conjecture of a dual-aspect monism, with a complementary relationship between mental and material aspects of an underlying, psychophysically neutral reality, is subtler and more sophisticated than many other attempts to discuss the problem of how mind and matter are related to one another."

Synchronicity and the problem of meaning in science In The Pauli-Jung conjecture and its impact today by Roderick Main; Harald Atmanspacher and Christopher A. Fuchs (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781845407599
Publication Date: 2017
"This chapter examines C.G. Jung's attempt with his concept of synchronicity to address the seemingly negative impact of scientific rationalism on experiences of meaning in the modern world. Through close reading of Jung's texts and a critical re-evaluation of a recent debate on the nature of meaning in synchronicity, the first part of the chapter establishes that for Jung such meaning is multileveled—ranging from 'quasi-linguistic' to 'cosmic'—and is underpinned at all levels by the notion of the archetype as psychoid. Then, referring mainly to documents from Jung's collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli, the second part of the chapter draws out the radical implication that, as evinced by synchronistic events, such multileveled, archetypal meaning can imbue the physical as well as the psychological world. However, being able to access this dual psychic and physical meaning requires both a deep, transformative engagement with the unconscious and an ability to relate unconscious contents to contemporary knowledge."

Synchronicity as emergence In Analytical Psychology: Contemporary perspectives in Jungian analysis by Joseph Cambray; Linda Carter (Ed.)
ISBN: 9780203492048
Publication Date: 2004
"The author of this chapter re-examines another of Jung's signature concepts, synchronicity. This is elaborated first in terms of selected aspects of the intellectual and cultural backgrounds from which the idea emerged. This is followed by a reassessment of synchronicity in terms of the concept of emergence from complexity theory. One of Jung's clinical examples of synchronicity is reexamined from this vantage and a set of clinical vignettes from the author's practice is put forward. This chapter highlights the value of a theory of emergence in identifying, including, and working with synchronistic experience in general psychotherapeutic practice." [Read more]
Synchronistic experiences in psychotherapy: Empirical studies In Research in analytical psychology: Empirical research by Christian Roesler; C. Roesler (Ed.)
ISBN: 9781315527161
Publication Date: 2018
"According to the definition of synchronicity by Jung, psychotherapy can be considered as an outstanding field where synchronistic events are expected to appear, or at least where they can be observed. Even though synchronicity has been discussed intensively in recent years there have been few attempts to observe and document synchronistic events systematically in the field of psychotherapy. There are several collections of synchronistic events either documented in a more or less anecdotal way or being the result of broader investigations in the field of anomalistics. Especially the field of psychotherapy presents the opportunity to observe synchronistic events systematically and also prospectively, and also to link them with other data concerning the person, his/her psychodynamics, as well as the context in terms of interpersonal and other conditions and also the development of the psychotherapy, so as to test Jung’s assumption that synchronistic events are connected to progress in psychotherapy and to the individuation process. The chapter will give an overview of earlier research and will then propose a systematic research frame to be implied in the field of Jungian psychotherapy to collect data in the way described above as well as first results from a pilot study."

Time and tao in synchronicity In The Pauli-Jung conjecture and its impact today by Beverly Zabriskie; Harald Atmanspacher and Christopher A. Fuchs (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781845407599
Publication Date: 2017
"From their different perspectives, the depth psychologist C.G. Jung and the physicist Wolfgang Pauli sought to observe and speculate on the underlying patterns of an interactive world. Their meeting might have remained a 'frozen accident', a random coming together of two powerful intellects. Instead, their collaboration became meaningful. Through their explorations of acausal connections through contingency, equivalence, and meaning, they extended mind's participation in the universe with the surprising theory of synchronicity. In their discussions, they engaged the profound questions of the role of the mind in the perception of and amidst the matters of space and time" [Read more]
"Synchronicity and moments of meeting" in Anthology of contemporary clinical classics in analytical psychology by George B. Hogenson
ISBN: 9781000554236
Publication Date: 2022
"The author considers the role of synchronicity in the establishment of meaning in analysis and links it to the notion of moments of meeting proposed by the Boston Process of Change Study Group. In so doing, he proposes to view synchronicity as an element in developmental processes, wherein attributions of meaningfulness are made in relation to patterns of action that do not have intrinsic meaning, but which have evolved in an environment of meaning, thereby bootstrapping the infant into the world of meaning. Jung’s paradigmatic example of synchronicity—the scarab beetle event—is examined in this context, and the argument is made that the event was primarily meaningful for Jung and carried with it important countertransference implications that Jung did not consider. The paper concludes with some suggestions for further investigation into the relationship between synchronicity and clinical practice."
