Book Description
Jung's only extended work in the field of parapsychology aims, on the one hand, to incorporate the findings of "extrasensory perception" (ESP) research into a general scientific point of view and, on the other, to ascertain the nature of the psychic factor in such phenomena. While he had advanced the "synchronicity" hypothesis as early as the 1920s, Jung gave a full statement only in 1951, in an Eranos lecture; the following year (he was seventy-seven) he published the present monograph in a volume with a related study by the physicist (and Nobel winner) Wolfgang Pauli. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material on "synchronicity," Jung describes an astrological experiment conducted to test his theory.
"The concept of synchronicity indicates a meaningful coincidence of two or more events, where something other than the probability of chance is involved. Chance is a statistical concept which 'explains' deviations within certain patterns of probability. Synchronicity elucidates meaningful arrangements and coincidence which somehow go beyond the calculations of probability. Pre-cognition, clairvoyance, telepathy, etc. are phenomena which are inexplicable through chance, but become empirically intelligible through the employment of the principle of synchronicity, which suggests a kind of harmony at work in the interrelation of both psychic and physical events."
Carl G. Jung
Carl Gustav Jung, is a Swiss psychologist and founder of analytical psychology. Young says his intellectual life began with a dream he had at the age of three. He received a scholarship at the University of Basel to study medicine and his father died at the age of 20. Jung loved university life and devoured philosophical works, especially the works of Kant and Nietzsche, in addition to medical books and references, and he studied spirituality and supernatural phenomena. Young became a member of the Society for Public Speaking and Debating called the Zuqengia Club. Young was able to reveal something that was admired and appreciated by all: the human spirit. His ideas advocated the existence of two directions of the soul. One towards life affairs and the other towards the realm of spirituality. There, some things happened to Young and Young thought he should attend the necromancy. For two years, Young had been attending these sessions, with his cousin Helen Preswork being her psychic, and her late father, Samuel Preswork, being her mentor. And he stopped going to those sessions when Helen started to get caught up in these invocations and Young didn't know Helen was in love with him and everything she did to get his attention. Thus, Young had two personalities. The first character was immersed in life matters, and her feelings could explode in any emotional situation. As for the second character, she believes in superstitions and the world of the paranormal, as Jung felt that he was connected to the other world. He searches for the nature of that strange thing that enters the body at birth and leaves at death, and this led him to realize that his desired goal is psychiatry, which, starting in 1890, he began studying as a science and a profession at the same time. Jung began training in psychiatry in 1900, when he became an assistant at the Bergolslie Mental Hospital, a clinic attached to the University of Zurich and was under the direction of Dr. Eugene Blölru. Young's research continued under the supervision of this doctor until Jung developed in this field.
