Who hasn’t experienced that mysterious coincidence, that sudden, astonishing deep insight, that instantaneous sense of extrasensory perception in some unusual circumstances that leaves you speechless? Can these events be considered insignificant, or do they hold a deeper meaning for us?
The Tao of Psychology takes an approach—much like Agatha Christie did in her mysteries—to uncover the hidden messages in similar events and discover their significance in our lives. Dr. Jean Bolen, on a deeper level, investigates the interdependence between these significant coincidences and the instinctive sense that we are part of some profound unity in the universe.
This deeper principle, according to Eastern philosophy, is called Tao, and in Jungian psychology, Synchronization. We see it manifest in our daily lives through those "coincidences" that give us a sense of particular importance, which we cannot explain logically.
By correlating the concepts of Tao and synchronicity, Jean Bolen reveals significant connections between psychology and mysticism, the right and left hemispheres of the brain, the individual and the outer world. The Tao of Psychology also sheds light on the research of parapsychology, particularly in the areas of precognition, telepathy, and divination.
Jean Bolen clearly and persuasively explains these fascinating concepts, using vivid examples from everyday life to demonstrate how synchronicity operates in each person's life.
