Is left-brain logical thinking the only organizing principle in our universe? Or could there be another organizing principle at work, a way of perceiving reality as a "whole," one that engages the mystical right brain and offers the capacity to make intuitive connections within that wholeness? The principle of synchronicity contains a viewpoint of life contrary to dominant thought in the West. It is based upon the concept that a pattern larger than the human scale already exists. Everything and everyone is a part of that pattern and is thereby inter-connected.

Perceiving life from this viewpoint is primarily about making the connections. Therefore, life viewed through the awareness of synchronicity offers the potential to experience the spiritual dimension of ourselves. Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, who popularized the term synchronicity, wrote: "To know that there is an order and to be continuously aware that I am part of it, seems enough to remain in touch with spirit." Could a life experience of synchronicity be the gateway to higher consciousness and return to our spiritual nature?
