Part 5/9:
Central to Jung's idea of synchronicity is the notion of acausal connections, which describes events that occur without a common cause linking them. This is evident in another of Jung's compelling examples involving Emmanuel Swedenborg, who sensed a fire in Stockholm while he was in Gothenburg—a mirroring of experiences that challenges natural causality.
These acausal connections highlight the mysterious integrity of synchronicity. They are not simply accidents but suggest intricate underlying principles that govern the relationship between our psychic experiences and external reality.
