Synchronicity

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, yet are experienced as occurring together in a meaningful manner. The concept of synchronicity was first described by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist. A grouping of events by meaning need not have an explanation in terms of cause and effect but these simultaneous occurrences that are meaningfully related. Synchronistic events  reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework that encompasses, but is larger than, any of the systems that display the synchronicity.

Serendipity, a very expressive word." Walpole formed the word on an old name for Sri Lanka, Serendip. He explained that this name was part of the title of "a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of...."

I start my 6 month journey of discovery soon and am most interested in coincidence, serendipity and synchronicity on my travels.
