Synchronicity and the Stories of Our Lives.
How did you meet your partner? Was it love at first sight?
Synchronicity is what the celebrated psychoanalyst Jung called the everyday coincidences that make sense of our lives. Not just coincidence, but the extraordinary and striking confluence of two events which has an unforgettable meaning for all of us. Synchronicity allows us to view our lives as if they are stories and we are the characters. What is the power behind these events . . . fate, God or simple chance are common names for the guiding force beyond ourselves. Robert Hopcke gives a brilliantly persuasive analysis of this seemingly random, yet ultimately disturbing, process whereby life-changing experiences occur in circumstances beyond our control. The emotional and symbolic effects are analysed, as are the way dreams can uncannily reflect reality or predict the future.
'There Are No Accidents' makes sense of life's larger story and illustrates how synchronicity can benefit our personal, work and spiritual lives.
