About this title

Review:

'Combs and Holland view synchronicity as through a kaleidoscope of many fascinating shapes and colours. A unique exploration of one of life's most baffling mysteries.' -- David Loye, author of The Sphinx and the Rainbow 'An excellent new treatment of a topic which may well turn out to be one of this century's most powerful challenges to the prevailing objectivism of science.' -- Willis Harman, President, Institute of Noetic Sciences

Synopsis:

Carl Jung coined the term "synchronicity" to describe meaningful coincidences that conventional notions of time and causality cannot explain. Working with the great quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli, Jung sought to reveal these coincidences as phenomena that involve mind and matter, science and spirit, thus providing rational explanations for parapsychological events like telepathy, precognition, and intuition. Synchronicity examines the work of Jung and Pauli, as well as noted scientists Werner Heisenberg and David Bohm; identifies the phenomena in ancient and modern mythologies, particularly the Greek legend of Hermes the Trickster; and illustrates it with engaging anecdotes from everyday life and literature.
