Synchronicity Rough Draft

“Picture and track are so closely fused together that each one functions through the other. There is no separation of I see in the image and I hear on the track. Instead, there is the I feel, I experience, through the grand total of picture and track combined. “(Flinn, 46) Flinn, Caryl. Strains of Utopia: Gender, Nostalgia, and Hollywood Film Music.
Today we see all events as of happening casually. There must be a cause for every effect. So what do we call an event that has no cause? In a religious expression it would be defined as a miracle. Carl G. Jung calls this cause and effect relationship Synchronicity. A double event shows us that our insight has something to do with the external world. With a transformation of consciousness you can open up to the irrational and recognize the reality of the world of the unconscious. “Synchronicity is no more baffling or mysterious than the discontinuities of physics. It is only the ingrained belief in the sovereign power of causality that creates intellectual difficulties and makes it appear unthinkable that causeless events exist or could ever occur. But if they do, then we must regard them as creative acts, as the continuous creation” Carl G. Jung
