RT @nick_routledge: @SophiaCycles Pauli, notably, recognizing classical physics allowed for acausal observations but had no use for the concept of “meaning”, preferred the term “meaning-correspondence” over “synchronicity” as a way of placing greater emphasis on the meaning of events than on their simultaneity.

@monkmanque @TaraAnnThieke Einstein: "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." Quantum physicist, David Bohm: "I would put it another way: people had insight in the past about a form of intelligence that organizes the universe and they personalized it and called it God."

This is an astounding notion. Virtually all of our commonsense prejudices about the world are based on the premise that subjective and objective reality are very much separate. That is why synchronicities seem so baffling and inexplicable to us. But if there is ultimately no division between the physical world and our inner psychological processes, then we must be prepared to change more than just our commonsense understanding of the universe, for the implications are staggering.

Quoted by@johnmilbank3 Hmm. I presume you've tackled Jung and Pauli's contribution. Coincidentally, it was a secular personification of the revealing function of the metaphysical intellect within quantum physics that originally proved pivotal in delivering me, fiercely irreligious, to God experience.
