―by Ralph Williams
Chapters 1-3: 1–Nature of the Phenomenon | 2–Forms of Expression | 3–Meaning in the Middle

This article explores Jung’s view of synchronicity by way of anecdotal accounts and multi-disciplinary analysis, while also proposing that adult development can involve a growing ability to recognize and utilize synchronicity in daily life.
