Unfolding the Enfolded...

The pioneering analysis of synchronicity was given by Jung, yet despite the concept's momentous significance in Jung's work, and despite the widespread dissemination of the term 'synchronicity' even within pop culture, synchronicity is often badly misconstrued and remains "perhaps the least understood of Jung's theories." Synchronicity, Science, and Soul-Making has already been hailed as the most important analysis of synchronicity since Jung himself.

As physicists search for a unified field theory, so Carl Jung and others searched for synchronicity--the unifying principle behind meaningful coincidence, individual consciousness and the totality of space and time.  Now, F. David Peat joins these two quests into one intriguing journey to show the connection between quantum theory and synchronicity, and to open the way to an exciting new understanding about the bridge between mind and matter.

In exploring the nature of energy, time, chance, causality and coincidence, Peat draws on the works of Jung, Wolfgang Pauli, Ilya Prigogine, David Bohm, John Wheeler and others.  What emerges is evidence of a hidden order, of a creative universe that expresses itself in individual lives.

With fascinating historical anecdotes and incisive scientific analysis, this important work combines ancient thought with modern theory to reveal a new way of viewing our universe that can expand our awareness, our lives, and may well point the way to a new science for the twenty-first century.

We've all had moments when things come together in an almost unbelievable way, when events that could never have been predicted seem remarkably to guide us along our path. Carl Jung called this "synchronicity." In the middle of his adult life, Jaworski became intrigued by these experiences in both his business and personal life....

Synchronicity is a remarkable story of Jaworski's journey to an understanding of the deep issues of leadership.  It is a personal journey that encourages and enlightens all of us as we wrestle with the profound changes required in public and institutional leadership, and in our individual lives, for the 21st century.

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 Paul Kammerer, Werner Heisenberg, and David Bohm.   The authors partake in an engaging discussion of synchronicity as illustrated in ancient and modern mythologies, particularly the Greek legend of Hermes the Trickster. Their unique transdisciplinary approach, infused with a generous sprinkling of anecdotes from everyday life and literature, presents and accessible and intelligent exploration of this intriguing concept, in the process providing a glimpse into the hidden pattern of nature.

Filled with stories and examples, and combining insights from psychology, religion, and poetry, Unexpected Miracles shows how synchronicity --meaningful coincidence--works in daily life, in dreams, and imagination. It helps us not only to recognize synchronicity but to cultivate these wonderfully unexpected yet perfectly normal spiritual events. When we recognize and say "yes" to "unexpected miracles," we begin to awaken spiritually, grow psychologically, and understand our purpose in life.
