Part 2/11:
The discussion begins with a familiar instance of synchronicity—the ubiquitous moment of glancing at the clock and seeing 11:11. However, it quickly transcends that simple experience. Jung believed that true synchronicity encompasses remarkable instances where divergent phenomena converge in inexplicable ways, demanding our attention. One striking example from Jung's practice involved a patient who dreamt of a golden scarab, only for that very insect to appear as she recounted her story to him. This powerful moment does not merely showcase bizarre coincidence; it illustrates a profound connection between the psyche and the external world, an interweaving of dreams and reality.
