Synchronicity Defined: Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung first began using the term "synchronicity" in the 1920s to describe the experience of two or more causally unrelated events being observed as happening together in a manner that is meaningful. Just as events can be grouped by their cause, so also they can be grouped by their meaning. This relationship of meaning is sufficient in and of itself to constitute synchronicity, and it is not necessary to find some causal relationship between the events. As a matter of fact, finding a causal relationship between events can negate the experience of synchronicity; when this happens, the events are said to be "incoincident".
