Coincidence or Synchronicity? Now, that is the question that can spark a lot of joy, especially when approached in the spirit of wonder and hope of learning fun things about ourselves. The definitions are similar enough, so I'll quote what I found about the "origin" of synchronicity, just to make the distinction. "Synchronicity is a concept first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl G. Jung "to describe circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection." Jung held that to ascribe meaning to certain acausal, or synchronistic, coincidences can be a healthy, even necessary, function of the human mind—principally, by way of bringing important material of the unconscious mind to attention."
So, which do you choose? Share your sparks of joy on your notable synchronicities (or coincidences) by sending me an email at phxgodess@gmail.com or maybe leave a voice message at the link below. I'm happy to share those sparks of joy, with your permission, so we can all enjoy them.
Keep sparkling!
