Roderick Main, in his book Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal wrote: “The culmination of Jung’s lifelong engagement with the paranormal is his theory of Synchronicity, the view that the structure of reality includes a principle of a causal connection which manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of meaningful coincidences”.
