Synchronicity: An Unfinished Journey

Abstract

Jung and Pauli found a link between the psyche and quantum mechanics by formulating the idea of Synchronicity. Synchronicity provides a conceptual acausal framework for both meaningful coincidences of life and random physical events of the quantum world. These two geniuses also tried to generalize Synchronicity to become the organizing principle of matter and psyche. Their work could not be completed because of growing disagreement between them. In this work, we briefly retrace the genesis of synchronicity and discuss the concepts that precede it. Upon considering the quantum-classical nature of the physical world and the wave function’s collapse of quantum mechanics, we conjecture that a further extension of the meaning of Synchronicity is given as an acausal organizing principle of quantum-classical phenomena. Additional analysis is required to validate this conjecture.
