Synchronicity is a term that was used by the Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung to describe the
alignment of universal forces with one's own life experience. Jung believed that some (if not all)
coincidences were not mere chance, but instead a literal "co-inciding", or alignment of forces in the
universe to create an event or circumstance. The process of becoming intuitively aware and acting in
harmony with these forces is what Jung labelled "individuation." Jung said that an individuated person
would actually shape events around them through the communication of their consciousness with the
collective unconscious.

Jung spoke of synchronicity as being an "acausal connecting principle", in other words a
pattern of connection that works outside of or in addition to causality.

From the magic-esoteric point of view, through synchronicity it is possible to interact with
events beyond the time and the law of cause and effect and obtain “here and now” results
apparently impossible to reach.
