What a coincidence!

The psychologist Carl G. Jung is well known for several influential ideas, like synchronicity, archetypes and the collective consciousness, each of which I find fascinating and quite plausible. The validity of synchronicity in particular has, in my life at least, had a strange tendency to reinforce itself the more I've learnt about it - although some would argue that this is in fact its major flaw, in that we find what we want to perceive.

In any case, there's an interesting and fun blog about synchronistic events called 67 Not Out, to which I recently contributed an unlikely happening of my own:

Unlikely Coincidence Meeting
 
The blog is full of amazing coincidences that would seem to indicate that Jung was on to something with his idea of synchronicity, that meaning is in fact a dimension like space: the former links events in our lives while the latter connects places in our world.

Enjoy - and see you again when I return from our much awaited honeymoon in Sri Lanka and the Maldives!
