It came a long time ago. I can't remember
the context to be honest but for some reason I think
it was discussing dharmakaya light thread.
Glenn had never heard the word acausal....I think
he said he thought i made it up or something.
Can't remember.
The issue is basically I don't think he believes things can be acausally
related.

>> "The unifying principle behind meaningful coincidences. Psychiatrist Carl
G.
>> Jung termed Synchronicity ‘an acausal connecting principle’ that links
>> seemingly unrelated and unconnected events. The concept is integral to
Eastern
>> thought, but in Western thought runs contrary to cause and effect. In the
>> West, ‘coincidences’ are popularly discounted as ‘chance happenings.’ The
>> concept of synchronicity was developed largely by Carl G. Jung, who
credited
>> Albert Einstein as his inspiration." 3
>>
>> "...Jung reveals the roots of his idea of synchronicity as being in a
series
>> of dinners with the redoubtable Albert Einstein in Zurich, Switzerland,
>> between the years 1909 and 1913... For many years Jung couldn’t get these
>> beguiling exchanges with Einstein out of his mind, nor the intriguing
>> implications they had for the numerous stories of baffling coincidences
that
>> his clients were revealing to him in his consultation room, his arcane
>> studies, and most troubling of all, in his life." 4
>>
>> What is Jung’s view of synchronicity?
>>
>> Jung’s own explanation of the concept of synchronicity is as follows:
>>
>> " As its etymology shows, this term has something to do with time, or to be
>> more accurate, with a kind of simultaneity. Instead of simultaneity we
could
>> use the concept of a meaningful coincidence of two or more events, where
>> something other than the probability of chance is involved."
(Synchronicity,
>> An Acausal Connecting Principle, by C G Jung, from the article "On
>> Synchronicity", Appendix, pg. 104)
>>
>> What did Jung state about the chance occurrence of coincidences?
>>
>> Jung had been studying synchronicity since the middle twenties, when he was
>> investigating the phenomena of the collective unconscious and kept on
coming
>> across connections which he simply could not explain: "as chance groupings
or
>> ‘runs.’ What I found were ‘coincidences’ which were connected so
meaningfully
>> that their ‘chance’ concurrence would represent a degree of improbability
that
>> would have to be expressed by an astronomical figure." Synchronicity, An
>> Acausal Connecting Principle, by C G Jung, pg. 21.
>>
>>
>>
>> The principle of synchronicity is based on the concept that everything in
the
>> universe has some kind of correspondence one to the other. There is a
>> "classical idea of the sympathy of all things." 5 There is a link, there
is a
>> bond, so to speak, and even so-called inanimate objects have a form of
>> communication. In other words the whole universe is a living breathing
entity
>> and its various life forms, in all the kingdoms (animal, plant, mineral,
>> human, etc.) are not as removed from each other as previously thought. In
>> support of Hippocrates (** see introductory quote on Page 1 of this article
)
>> Carl Jung said: "The universal principle is found even in the smallest
>> particle, which therefore corresponds to the whole." Synchronicity, An
Acausal
>> Connecting Principle, by C G Jung, pg. 74.
>>
>> Is there a scientific theory to support synchronicity?
>>
>> "... They are finding that the isolation and separation of objects from
each
>> other is more apparent than real; at deeper levels, everything —atoms,
cells,
>> molecules, plants, animals, people — participates in a sensitive, flowing
web
>> of information. Physicists have shown, for example, that if two photons are
>> separated, no matter by how far, a change in one creates a simultaneous
change
>> in the other." From: A Wink From the Cosmos by Meg Lundstrom ,Is everyone
>> seeking harmony?
>>
>> Many Eastern philosophies have had a concept of SYNCHRONICITY before the
>> western mind set fully accepted it.
>>
>> "These coincidences, which Jung termed synchronicity, are sure signs you
are
>> in the flow; Flow is a harmony of being that has been sought after through
the
>> centuries in the spiritual traditions of the world. In the West, flow has
been
>> linked to trust, surrender, unconditional love, the grace of God. In the
East,
>> it has been linked to the Tao, the underlying interconnectedness of the
>> Universe. In our lives, flow is obvious in those times when things happen
>> effortlessly, everything falls into place, obstacles melt away, and our
timing
>> is perfect. In those times, we feel a deep sense of harmony and underlying
>> order. We know we are in the right place, at the right time, doing exactly
the
>> right thing." The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life
with
>> Meaningful Coincidence, by Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom.
