“When a synchronicity occurs, von Franz explains, it is as if an archetype
is “activated in the unconscious of the individual concerned” and “is manifesting
itself simultaneously in inner and external events” (1978, 226-27). As
inner and outer events constellate around an activated archetype, essential
meaning, or absolute knowledge, is transmitted. This explains why Jung
viewed synchronicities as “creative acts, as the continuous creation of a
pattern that exists from all eternity, repeats itself sporadically, and is not
derivable from any known antecedents” (1969l, par. 967). In characterizing
synchronicity in this way, Jung emphasized the concept of unus mundus, “the
original, non-differentiated unity of the world or of Being” (1970, par. 660).”

“In addition to his observations about time and synchronicity, Jung observed
that synchronistic events often occurred during heightened, emotionally-charged
situations: “Every emotional state produces an alteration of consciousness
. . . a certain narrowing of consciousness and a corresponding
strengthening of the unconscious.” He referred to this process as compensation.
Jung hypothesized that highly charged conscious states lead to a psychic
override (to varying degrees) of the constrictions of time and space, temporarily
altering mechanistic principles and giving way to underlying patterns
of meaning.”

“According to Albertus, the soul possesses a magical quality that may be
activated by sincere desire. Goethe suggested a similar theory, asserting that
an innate force could compel meaningful correspondences. He said, “We all
have certain electric and magnetic powers within us and ourselves exercise
an attractive and repelling force, according as we come into touch with
something like or unlike” (quoted in Jung 1969l, par. 860). The notion of
“correspondences” in the Middle Ages taught a sort of universal “sympathy”
in which, according to Jung, “the universal principle is found in even the
smallest particle, which therefore corresponds it to the whole”.”
