The coincidences nearly all of us have experienced in our lives (synchronicity, to use Jung’s term) are meaningful because our lives are a story with a beginning, middle, and an end, with unexpected plot twists and turns where fascinating and mysterious characters enter and leave. In this lecture, we will examine four aspects of synchronistic events: their acausality, the emotional impact they have, their symbolic nature, and their occurrence during transitional times. By using real people’s experiences in relationships, careers, dreams, and spiritual lives, we will see in this lecture how meaningful coincidences enable us to find depth and beauty in the stories we live.
