Full Description

This book offers an up-to-date handling of C. G. Jung's Theory of Synchronicity and the more mainstream paranormal phenomena known as extra-sensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK), collectively referred to as 'psi'.

Author Lance Storm re-works various aspects of synchronicity, traditionally marginalized by parapsychologists, to bring about a paradigm shift in the field. Most often seen as fundamentally different, the book draws parallels between psi and synchronicity and equates the two, arguing that psi was all along a form of synchronicity - just as Jung had anticipated. To achieve this, Storm necessarily modifies both the parapsychologist's view about psi, and Jung's views about synchronicity, enabling a satisfactory merger of the two paranormal phenomena.

Based on rigorous scientific research and written in an easy-to-understand style, this book is an important resource for specialists such as anomalistic psychologists, parapsychologists, philosophers, paranormalists and theologians.
