1 In oduc ion
Many a e s ill scep ical abou synch onici y, which C. G. Jung de ined as "mean-
ing ul coincidence o wo o mo e e en s whe e some hing o he han he p ob-
abili y o chance is in ol ed".
The scep icism is no su p ising - egula expe ience o synch onici y is no
common, i canno be o ced and he e o e o en canno be eplica ed in con-
olled en i onmen . Many (such as D. J. Hand[1]) claim ha hese coincidences
a e meaningless and can be ully explained by p obabili y calculus.
P io o yea ∼2017 ha was p ecisely my iew, bu hen I’ e expe ienced
a physiological ans o ma ion and s a ed expe iencing synch onici y egula ly.
Quickly, i became ob ious ha he odds o he expe ienced synch onici y being
a andom coincidence a e in ini esimal.
Synch onici y seems o be highly co ela ed wi h men ali y and lack o
o ce. I is deeply co ela ed wi h subconsciousness[2] and long- e m
ope a ion a he han conscious sho - e m [ e]ac ions o o ce. Expe i-
ences o synch onici y should hus be g owing wi h g owing numbe o
non-pola ized[3] people, making i e en ha de o dismiss as meaningless
coincidence.
Episodes o o e whelming synch onici y, howe e , a e linked o
psychosis[4] and may be dange ous o some people (mos ly because hey
a e in an en i onmen ha ea s people expe iencing synch onici y as
pa ien s).
Howe e , hose whose minds su i e his psychosis gene ally become
di e en people han hey we e be o e. This change seems o be gene ally
posi i e, inc easing well-being and o e all unde s anding o na u e by
he indi idual. One o my hypo heses is ha such ans o ma ion is, in
ac , ans o ma ion o a pola ized mind in o a neu al one - enabling
de elopmen o s ongly ocused, a ional and unbiased hough s. Bu
his isn’ jus a ans o ma ion o consciousness, i in ol es changes in
2
bo h body and mind.
Bu e en andom coincidence is s ill ela i ely meaningless - i i is, o ex-
ample, in e p e ed as meaning ul and changes he cou se o one’s li e, ob iously
i wasn’ absolu ely meaningless.
Meaning, howe e , is no only e y ela i e, bu i is usually an pe sonal/-
subjec i e in e p e a ion. F om scien i ic pe spec i e, synch onici y can ha e
alue i i is no a andom co-incidence o e en s. Bu again, wi h no ab-
solu e ce ain y, and wi h no abili y o unco e hidden a iables, andomness
ine i ably becomes a p obabilis ic a iable. I usually ea any appa en ly non-
andom coincidence as meaning ul synch onici y - whe e he odds o andom
coincidence a e su icien ly small. The odds a e quan i iable, bu wha is con-
side ed "su icien ly small" can be a pe sonal choice o a ma e o consensus o
a b oade communi y (e.g., sigma h esholds in mode n science). Synch onic-
i y can hus be a eligious expe ience bu should no be gene ally igno ed by
scien i ic communi y jus because some (o e en mos ) cases can be explained
h ough s a is ics.
The e is no appa en causal connec ion be ween synch onized phenomena in
synch onici y. The e a e wo in e p e a ions o his. Ei he he co ela ion does
no equi e causal connec ion (as in con en ional in e p e a ions o quan um
en anglemen ), o he e a e hidden a iables. In any case, one can assume he
exis ence o some kind o a ield and an a ac o in i abou which he co ela ed
phenomena may clump in space/ ime. The assump ion o he exis ence o ields
is common in physics, e en hough none o he, so called, undamen al ields a e
di ec ly obse able. Salien di e ence be ween a g a i a ional ield, o example,
and a ield associa ed wi h synch onici y is ha he la e is a mo e gene al ield
o in o ma ion co ela ion, while he o me is a sub ield o ha gene al ield
(co ela ing in o ma ion associa ed solely wi h mass/ene gy).
Wi h ela i i y in cause and e ec , pos ula ed by Comple e Rela i i y[5]
(CR), connec ion be ween any co ela ed phenomena canno be absolu ely ob-
se able. Physical links no obse able on one scale a e obse able on a di e en
scale.
Men al connec ions a e gene ally non-obse able. Non-obse able con-
nec ions in meaning ul synch onici y may be in e p e ed as men al con-
nec ions, bu , in CR, e en men al connec ions (o pa hways o in o -
ma ion exchange) a e physical a some scale. Tha scale is simply un-
obse able om ou pe spec i e due o in insic limi a ions o obse e s.
The limi a ions a e equi ed o he exis ence.
Fu he mo e, om my own expe ience, I ha e ound many e en s ha hap-
pened long ago (which, conside ed alone, had no signi ican meaning a he
3
ime) deeply co ela ed wi h e en s happened o me in he u u e (p o iding
signi ican meaning o he pas e en ), implying s ong de e minism in local
e olu ion (equi alen o gene ic coding in s anda d li e o ms).
Thus, wha one conside s meaningless a one poin in ime could become
meaning ul a some o he poin in ime. I e e o such e en s as signals o syn-
ch onici y o signs. Wi h ising expe ience in synch onici y, one could ecognize
po en ial signs and pe haps p edic ce ain u u e e en s. Again, howe e , he
ecogni ion and in e p e a ion o hese signals can be mo e eligious o mo e
scien i ic, depending on he expe ience and he me hod o deduc ion. In any
case, his is a domain o s ochas ic ma hema ics.
I appea s ha na u e is in e p e ing ime as a dimension o space, so jus
like poin s sepa a ed in space, poin s sepa a ed in ime exis simul aneously.
The momen o now can be in e p e ed as a supe posi ion o pas and u u e.
The expe ience o now is a simul aneous expe ience o pas and u u e. The ea-
son we usually canno see a in o he u u e is he s ong ocus o consciousness
- sho ening he momen o now. In o he wo ds, he supe posi ion/expe ience
o pas and u u e is, o us, s ongly localized. Ma hema ically, his can be in-
e p e ed as wa e unc ion collapse. Consciousness can be delocalized, a which
poin he expe ience may be s e ched a in o he pas and u u e, bu his
doesn’ appea o be some hing we can usually con ol. I hypo hesize, howe e ,
ha deepe le els o consciousness a e less localized, and his is why synch onic-
i y is highly co ela ed wi h subconscious. The expe ience o synch onici y may
hus be a signal ha we a e being con olled o guided by ou subconscious.
O e whelming synch onici y and associa ed beha iou (some imes in e p e ed
as psychosis) is hen p obably a signal ha ou subconscious has aken he wheel.
Indeed, a e I ha e su i ed o e whelming synch onici y, I can con iden ly say
now ha a he ime I was no my sel . This explains why people who expe-
ience his commonly beha e like p ophe s du ing he ime. A leas some o
hei p ophecies a e p obably ue. The da es, howe e , a e unlikely o be ue.
Why? Because o hese p ophe s he u u e is in he momen o now, so hey
will use da es close o he p esen . I know I did, bu I am no alone. E en one
o he mos amous p ophe s, J. Ch is , announced he apocalypse jus abou
he co ne .
Wi h he cu en s a e o clima e and he en i onmen , many o us eel
he apocalypse now eally is, o e y close o being, jus abou he co ne .
Pa adoxically, in o de o his kind o p ophecies o become ue, he
se ious p ophe s mus no be aken se iously. In o de o he p ophecy
o Ch is o be ul illed, o example, he Ch is ians mus no ollow he
Ch is , o he p ophe was - wi h his humble li e - wo king agains he

he de e minism in local e olu ion is so s ong ha people a e con inced
hey ha e no choice bu o ollow he money. I guess a god on a dolla

money, hey ollow he Ch is . Igno ance o subconscious/synch onici y
is he igno ance o u u e [and pas ]. This migh sound like p eaching,
bu no, I do no conside ha igno ance as some hing absolu ely bad. By
sac i icing he p ophe /subconscious, people migh ha e sac i iced hei
u u e human na u e, because once he subconscious is los , no hing will

in e es s. They won’ be able o in ini ely g ow and do much ha m wi h

as a choice be ween he good and bad. I see i as a choice be ween he
eedom o he mind and p ese a ion o he physical body. Absolu e
eedom o he mind is absolu e dea h, absolu e p ese a ion o he body

2 De ini ions
2.1 Synch oniza ion
Synch oniza ion o e en s is simul aneous occu ence o e en s. Simul aneous
occu ence (synch oniza ion) can be o ced (causal) o non- o ced (acausal),
al hough he in e p e a ion is ela i e. E en s can be synch onized in ime (lo-
calized o he same poin in ime) and/o space (localized o he same poin in
space). S eng h o magni ude o synch oniza ion is p opo ional o i s local-
iza ion.
No e, howe e , one may choose o make a dis inc ion be ween e en s and
phenomena, wi h localiza ion in space being synch oniza ion o phenom-
ena, and synch oniza ion in ime being localiza ion o e en s.
Apa om simul aneous occu ence, synch onized e en s can be mo e o
less co ela ed in o he ways.
Synch oniza ion can be ela i ely sel -sus aining, s able o uns able, an-
sien o pe manen , pe iodic o non-pe iodic. I may also ansi ion om o ced
o non- o ced synch oniza ion.
Conside a pe son waking up daily o an ala m om a clock a speci ic ime.
A i s , he awakening is a o ced eac ion o ala m, bu wi h ime he body
may s a an icipa ing he ala m and he awakening may a imes happen e en
momen s be o e he ala m - when, e ec i ely, om some e e ence ames he
5
ala m may e en be in e p e ed as eac ion o an icipa ion. Wi h inc easing
ela i i y in causali y, hus, i becomes ha de o in e p e he synch oniza ion
as o ced.
In ac , in CR, causali y is gene ally jus a special case o synch oniza ion.
2.2 Synch onici y
Synch onici y is any non- o ced synch oniza ion o highly co ela ed e en s (e en s
whose co ela ion/en anglemen goes beyond he localiza ion in space/ ime).
I can be in e p e ed as ela i ely andom, pseudo- andom o non- andom.
CR, howe e , pos ula es ha co ela ed/en angled phenomena a e all connec ed
h ough associa ed ields o po en ial o some scale. Nega i e exci a ions (a ac-
o s) in his ield hen (wi h associa ed g adien s in po en ial) guide co ela ed
e en s o localize nea he poin s o a ac o s in space/ ime.
No e, howe e , ha exci a ions can be posi i e - leading o epulsion o
co ela ed e en s.
This implies he e is no such hing as absolu e andomness, and any appa -
en andomness is a consequence o inhe en limi s in obse a ion. F om he
abo e, i is easy o see ha o he physical ields - such as he g a i a ional ield,
ep esen educed cases o his gene al ield o en anglemen .
No e now ha he in e p e a ion o he exci a ion is ela i e as well.
Take wo equal elec ic cha ges, o example. He e, om he pe spec i e
o any o hese cha ges, he exci a ion o he o he will be in e p e ed as
posi i e. The same exci a ion will be in e p e ed as nega i e in case o
wo opposi e elec ic cha ges. The ela i i y is scale in a ian and exis s
in mo e complex exci a ions/co ela ions as well. The same pe son, o
example, may epel some people, while a ac ing o he .
Now one can explain why some people expe ience synch onici y egula ly,
while o he s expe ience i a ely, o ne e - some people a e simply localized
wi h nega i e exci a ions, some wi h posi i e, and some wi h nei he (o bo h
simul aneously). And hese exci a ions can be o a ious s eng h.
Since hey a e highly co ela ed wi h he s a e o mind, hey a e highly
co ela ed wi h consciousness and consciousness i sel should p obably be in e -
p e ed as ield exci a ion (wi h complexi y p opo ional o exci a ion s eng h,
which may be, among o he hings, guiding o ganismal g ow h and de elopmen
h ough ime).
Synch onici y con o ms o gene al oscilla ion and may di e in equency,
in ensi y and magni ude. I synch onici y guides local e olu ion/de elopmen
6
i may be in e p e ed as gene ic.
Non-gene ic synch onici y has no appa en signi ican e ec s on local e o-
lu ion and may be conside ed pseudo- andom, simila ly o non-in en ional syn-
ch oniza ion o weakly ela ed e en s. Wi h inc easing equency, in ensi y and
magni ude, a non-gene ic synch onici y, howe e , may be a p ecu so o gene ic
synch onici y.
Co ela ion o synch onici y wi h [sub]consciousness by i sel does no imply
deepe meaning - jus as he g a i a ional a ac ion be ween he Ea h and he
Moon does no imply deepe meaning. Thus, while he e idence s ongly sug-
ges s synch onici y should no be ques ioned, any assigned meaning ce ainly
should. Tha does no imply he e is no deepe meaning, ce ainly no o he
one expe iencing synch onici y - ou consciousness may expe ience synch onic-
i y, bu ou subconscious may e en media e i o some deg ee. Finally, jus as
he Moon a ec s he Ea h and i s de elopmen (whe he he Ea h is asking i -
sel wha is he Moon doing he e o no ), synch onici y oo can ha e a p o ound
e ec on hose expe iencing i .

3 Discon inui ies in ime
Acco ding o CR, physical laws a e ela i ely scale-in a ian , bu di e en scales
o ene gy a e en angled and o en coupled. Also, a imes, ma hema ical ope a-
ions be ween di e en scales such as addi ion (see CR chap e The Uni ica ion:
Rela i is ic ime) will be allowed. Scales will also a imes collapse, and hese
collapses will be associa ed wi h discon inui ies.
7
Such collapses do no happen only in space, hey happen in ime oo. Na u e,
gene ally, does no disc imina e be ween space and ime as we usually do.
In na u e, ime is ela i ely cyclic and usually highly co ela ed wi h angula
(e.g., o bi al) mo ion a some scale. On la ge and small scales, beha iou o
ene gy is gene ally e y p edic able due o his e iden pe iodici y.
Bu how andom a e e en s in be ween? Pe CR pos ula es, andomness
canno be absolu e, and ela i e pe iodici y o ela i ely equi alen e en s mus
exis in ce ain e e ence ames.
And his is achie ed wi h non-disc imina i e ea men o scales. In example,
we gene ally ea one day and one mon h (pe iods co ela ed wi h angula
momen a o la ge scale bodies) di e en ly.
Adding 2 days o a 30-day mon h will become a pe iod o 32 days. Bu na u e
some imes/somewhe e no malizes cyclic pe iods o di e en scale, ea ing days
and mon hs equally, so 2 days + 1 mon h becomes equal o 3 pe iods, o 3
quan a o angula momen um.
Thus, ela i ely equal phenomena occu ing in space migh appea o us as
happening andomly, bu om a p ope e e ence ame - hey a e happening
pe iodically. This is, in example, e iden in wo ld wa s - hey appea pe iodic
om a e e ence ame ea ing days, mon hs and yea s equally[6].
F om one pe spec i e, wa s c ea e discon inui ies in ime andomly, om he
o he , ce ain discon inui ies in cyclic ime mani es as wa s in space.
The magni ude o synch onici y, o he magni ude o e ec in space will
be p opo ional o numbe o collapsed scales. Conside wo ld wa s -
hey ha e big e ec in space due o collapse o a leas 3 scales in ime.
4 Sugges ed and guided e olu ion
The e a e no e en s in eali y which a e absolu ely isola ed - no mo e o less syn-
ch onized wi h o he e en s. Conside synch oniza ion be ween human species
and machines. While en e ing sea ch e ms (o sea ching) in a sea ch engine
one may be guided by he sugges ions o he machine. These sugges ions may
be based on he sea ch his o y o he indi idual o global sea ch his o y o he
whole popula ion.
Tha is an example o chained synch oniza ion (on highes le el, pe son -
local machine - emo e machine) and guidance h ough synch oniza ion.
In an an h opocen ic iew on a uni e se, synch oniza ions o his kind a e a
pinnacle o e olu ion and any o he synch oniza ion which would indica e highe
in elligence a wo k o dec ease human signi icance mus be absolu ely andom.
The e o e, one an h opocen ic mind will ne e accep gene ic synch onici y as
a eal phenomenon, be o e i is o ced o abandon he an h opocen ic iew.

Howe e , synch onici y is a eal phenomenon[2], and as such can a ec /guide
local de elopmen . When I ask mysel ques ions abou he uni e ses, I am o en
guided in my sea ches o answe s h ough synch onici y. Signs o synch onici y
can be in e p e ed as sugges ions based on he sea ch his o y o he indi idual
soul o global sea ch his o y o he whole popula ion, bu no in he pas , a he
in he e ec i e local u u e.
As I ha e s a ed elsewhe e, e ec i e u u e o an indi idual/species is no
he ac ual u u e o ha indi idual/species. In p og essi e e olu ion, i
is he pas o he mo e e ol ed indi idual/species one is en angled wi h.
The u u e ha is ac ually ye o mani es locally is no absolu ely equal
o e ec i e u u e al hough he p obabili y o s ong a ia ion is gene ally
ex emely low in case o s ong en anglemen - in e ec , local e olu ion

Sugges i e e en s o synch onici y ha esul in local guidance a e hus
echoes o dis an ( emo e) eac ions in ime, abso bed and in e p e ed
as ac ion by local eali y.
Local exci a ion (ca ying consciousness) coupled o a local body o mass can
be in e p e ed as a soul. De elopmen o a body om concep ion o adul hood
can hen be in e p e ed as an a emp o synch oniza ion [o e olu ion] o he
body and he soul. Exci a ion (soul) is ob iously changing scale be ween he
couplings. A smalle scale i e ol es as e , so he coupling slows down i s
e olu ion (de elopmen ), accele a ing he e olu ion (de elopmen ) o he body.
Such couplings do no exis only on he le el o indi iduals, hey exis on he
le el o e olu iona y co ela ed indi iduals as well (e.g., species, cells o sel -
o ganized en i ies - such as o gans, e c.).
One could a gue ha he soul and he body a e one and he same, only
he in e p e a ion is scale-dependen . On one scale he en i y is in e p e ed as
he mind, on o he as he body. Howe e , wo in e p e a ions ob iously exis
simul aneously - a leas om ou pe spec i e.
T ans o ma ion o consciousness is p obably highly co ela ed wi h he
exci a ion o he soul (consciousness) o a highe ene gy le el, which hen
should be synch onized wi h u he de elopmen o he body - e en i
mos ly on epigene ic basis (possibly including some ageing e e sal as
well).
Indeed, I mysel ha e expe ienced s ong physiological changes, and I
