"Pauli saw synchronicity as a way of approaching some fundamental questions in quantum mechanics, not least the mystery of quantum entanglement, by which sub-atomic particles may correlate instantaneously, and acausally, at any distance. From their discussions of synchronicity emerged the Pauli-Jung conjecture, a form of double-aspect theory of mind and matter, which viewed the mental and the physical as different aspects of a deeper underlying reality."

anyone who's played poker extensively knows that coincidence, random patterns that don't seem random, are a fact of life. But what they portend, well, I have a theory that they happen at random except when, on rare occasions they don't. And that rare occasion is a function of a nudge given, somewhere, a nudge to probability.

@JohnShirley2023 My oh-so-clever take on really mindblowingly improbable coincidences is that we don't take any notice of the countless trillions of incredibly unlikely things that *aren't* happening any given moment.

@pieist Fair enough! But someone will inevitably say, what about the trillions of unlikely things that are happening that add up to the strange fact that we exist at all. You don't need a creator for that to be amazing. cloudoverjupiter.bandcamp.com/
