A brief summary of the previous chapters in the form of a lecture covers much the same ground, but adding some further thought on the place of astrology as a science and as a mantic characteristic known to newspaper horoscopes writers and mystics throughout the ages. All of his writing so far has danced lightly upon the line between science and supernatural influence and seems one of the first to take both seriously.

Coming to a satisfying conclusion to what synchronicity means is a challenging task, especially for Jung who already took multiple routes to describe the phenomenon that would still all be unconvincing to the scientific community that shuns Old World beliefs like alchemy. The ace up his sleeve is the fissionable atom and other modern physics that are still relatively unthinkable in the classical sciences and psyches.

Drawing his astrological-marriage case study to a close, Jung moves on to further fields of inquiry, Ancient Chinese philosophy of Lao-tzu, the musings of G. W. von Leibniz (sick burn Newton!) and the medieval "World Soul" which all correspond to Jung's own emerging psychological concept of the collective unconscious. Even Kepler's treatise of the astrological significance of Earth to the stars replays Cassius' line.

Very impressive how assiduously Jung threw himself into his first synchronistic research interpreting someone else's data on astrological connections between married couples as well as all other combinations of potential couples within the field. Unsurprisingly, no hard conclusions were drawn from this study, except the perhaps all too personal one that married couples need not necessarily be in love with each other.

Once again, quantum physics opens doors to different ways of perceiving the probabilistic universe, in this case the acausal connecting principle that became Jung's synchronicity. While he keeps on the cautiously scientific side of his psychological experiment, not putting too much weight on the spooky extra-sensory actions, he states in his hypothesis that the unconscious has an affect on the here-and-now spacetime.

The peculiar pedigree of Jung's groundbreaking study of coincidences: dinner with Albert Einstein, sessions with Wolfgang Pauli, leads me to believe that it "might" have some bearing on my dissertation, especially as he bases much of his work on European alchemy. Perhaps if I hadn't sped ahead to Malachi and Beatrice's exile from a Rumfoordian-united Earth, I'd be more sceptical and more academic with my assumptions.
