Synchronicity...
... är inte bara en jävligt bra Policeskiva.
Det är också:
-- Synchronicity is a word coined by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to describe the "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung spoke of synchronicity as an "acausal connecting principle" (i.e. a pattern of connection that cannot be explained by direct causality).
Plainly put, it is the experience of having two (or more) things happen coincidentally in a manner that is meaningful to the person or persons experiencing them, where that meaning suggests an underlying pattern. It differs from coincidence in that synchronicity implies not just a happenstance, but an underlying pattern or dynamic that is being expressed through meaningful relationships or events.
It was a principle that Jung felt encompassed his concepts of archetypes and the collective unconscious, in that it was descriptive of a governing dynamic that underlay the whole of human experience and history — social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.
Jung believed that many experiences perceived as coincidence were due not merely to chance, but instead, suggested the manifestation of parallel events or circumstances reflecting this governing dynamic. --
Fascinerande eller hur? Jag som inte tror på ödet, tror på slumpen. Ödet är bullshit. Det finns ingen kraft som styr mina steg dit de ska. Det var inte "min tid att dö" om jag tar ett senare tåg till jobbet och det tåget kraschar. (ok, jag promenerar till jobbet men ni fattar grejen...)
Men... visst kan man undra. Och då är det ju trevligt att nån hittat på en förklaring till det där man undrade över. Tack, Jung. Nästa gång nån frågar om jag tror på ödet, kan jag svara: "Nej, men jag tror på synkronicitet.".
