5.0 out of 5 stars COINCIDENCE DOES NOT EXIST, 31 Oct 2004

By	alaskadoggie (Boom (near Antwerp), BELGIUM) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Synchronicity (Paperback)

Things in life happen, "facts occur" so accidentally or hasardous that a concourse of circumstances is so very much "particular", so curious, that one tries to look for a decent explanation. A cause with a VERY GOOD REASON however, is rarely found.

Carl Gustav JUNG (1875-1961), the only competitor as to me for "the genius of the 20th century", esteemed title that went to his friend Albert EINSTEIN, has studied this matter during some decades. By examinating this phenomenon of accidental facts that appear, he has been able to conclude that we may speak here about liaisons, about ACAUSAL connections and conjunctions, "something" almost every human being knows about. HE CALLED THIS "SYNCHRONICITY". He also found out THAT THIS CANNOT REPLACE THE FACT OF THINKING, REFLECTING IN A "CAUSAL" WAY, that is by means of causal thoughts and reflections.

BUT, it is very well possible that "THIS PARTICULAR APPEARANCE" ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO OUR PERCEPTION. Jung got convinced about this the longer the more, persuaded as he was, that there is "ONLY ONE CLASSIFICATION" that exists as well for the human psyche as for the living matter (= physical substance). In this sense synchronicity refers to a classification apparently arbitrary. The duality between PSYCHE and MATTER has a COMMON BASIS, FOUNDING: A UNITY OF EXISTENCE (already known by the alchemists like Paracelsus and his colleagues as well). This FOUNDING, FOUNDATION IS ACCENTUATED, EMPHASIZED by symptoms, synchronistic phenomenons THAT EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN the unconscious psyche as well as in matter. JUNG DEFINED THIS UNIQUE EXISTENCE AS THE "UNUS MUNDUS".
Very probably we will never be able to clarify this undivided unity, but WE ARE SURE NOW that the empirical world of phenomenons is founded one way or another ON A TRANSCENDENTAL BACKGROUND. IT IS THIS BACKGROUND - CAUSED BY SYNCHRONISTIC PHENOMENONS - THAT PENETRATES, APPEARS "ALL OF A SUDDEN" IN OUR CONSCIENT WORLD.

Of course we heard before about this ENORMOUS GENIUS from Switzerland, a lovable and decent, studious man, ex-friend and student of Sigmund FREUD, friend also - among many others - of James JOYCE and of Albert EINSTEIN. He was however not only a psychanalist by excellence, but also a very devoted scientist, a cultural giant (esteemed connoisseur of China and India, not at least concerning the eastern religions) AND - what far too little people know - a grand, great philosopher of the highest importance, a man who will influence manhood for a long time to come.

THIS BOOK IS A HARD READ. BUT: FOR THOSE WHO "DO" IT, THAT HAVE THE COURAGE TO READ "SYNCHRONICITY", I CAN ASSURE THEM THAT THEY WILL SEE OTHER WORLDS AND OTHER DIMENSIONS. RECOMMENDED - WITHOUT ANY DOUBT - FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

4.0 out of 5 stars Synchronicity, 30 Sep 2009

By	P. Clark "Inch worm" (Rome,Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a remarkable book but seems to me to get rather bogged down with facts and figures that make irksome reading. For this reason I have not given it a five star rating but the ideas that the book contains is certainly worth reading about.
