The Tao of Psychology rejects the commonly-held notion that these are interesting, but isolated events. Such uncanny coincidences often bring in their wake an all-too-fleeting awareness of being part of an infinite yet meaningful whole. The Tao of Psychology explores the interrelationship between "meaningful coincidences" and the intuitive sense that we are part of the oneness of the universe. The underlying principle is called Tao in Eastern philosophy and synchronicity in Jungian psychology. Coincidental events which are significant to us and cannot be explained in any rational way are synchronistic.
Now, Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., shows how to apply this important concept to everyday life. She shares her methods of recognizing authentic "meaningful coincidences," shows how they function as "waking dreams" -- compact, symbolistic messages to the consciousness -- and demonstrates her "Agatha Christie approach" to unraveling the meaning of each occurrence. To appreciate a synchronistic event, one needs the ability to note an inner subjective slate, a thought, feeling, vision, dream, or premonition and to intuitively link it with a related outer event. Each synchronistic experience is unique; Dr. Bolen's methods allow the reader to enter this wholly new, individualistic means of experiencing.
The Tao of Psychology also points out how synchronicity operates as the foundation of the Tarot, horoscopes, and--most importantly--the I Ching. By relating the concepts of the Tao and synchronicity, Dr. Bolen reveals important links between Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, right brain and left, the individual and the external world. An understanding of this principle also sheds light on research into parapsychology--especially such areas of ESP as precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
Synchronistic events can assure us when we are on the right life-path and advise us when we are not; at the most profound level, they reassure us that we are not mere observers, but always participators in an interconnected cosmic web.
