from Wikipedia:
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 in this terminology by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s.[1]
The concept does not question, or compete with, the notion of causality. Instead it maintains that, just as events may be grouped by cause, they may also be grouped by meaning. A grouping of events by meaning need not have an explanation in terms of cause and effect.
When I stepped from the car after watching the film of the previous post on my iphone, I found this butterfly at my feet. It seems to be same species that is in the last frame of the film. It is the first time I have ever seen this type, and I do not know the name. But it gave me a nice shiver to think that I could see it twice in a few moments in events not related.
Interesting. How did you get so smart?
