(describes a synchronicity event between two people—somebody thinking
about a specific question and another person visits who is unaware of the
question and is visiting for an independent reason, during the conversation
mentions something that
is key to the question the person was thinking about)
The arrival of each of you represents the culmination of a vertical line of
development moving in a continuous stream out of the past, and operating
separately in you, each in terms of the pressures and framework of your own
experience.
At the moment, you come together all this past causality becomes part of a
constellation of the present moment, part of a pattern that goes horizontally
across time, and to which the category of causality, which is essentially
vertical (continuous in time) cannot apply.
Somehow, out of this pattern emerges inadvertenly the answer you’d been
looking for.
Plainly no causal connection can be demonstrated between the two events but it
is equally plain that some kind of meaningful relationship exists between
them.
You can correctly say it was a coincidence but in order to be clear add it’s a
meaningful coincidence, inasmuch as the cross linking of events had a definite
signficance.
The most we can say is that cause-and-effect events provide the raw materials
with which meaningful coincidences take place. The special quality of meaning
that makes them coincidences and not unrelated belong to a pattern that is not
continuous in time but that
Somehow goes across time. The principle whatever its nature must at least be
