After reading about Dr. X's recent experience with synchronicity, I wanted to read more about synchronicity, because I've been experiencing an accelerated level of it lately.
From Wikipedia:
One of Jung's favourite quotes on synchronicity was from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, in which the White Queen says to Alice: "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards".
'The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday--
but never jam to-day.'
'It MUST come sometimes to "jam to-day,"' Alice objected.
'No, it can't,' said the Queen. 'It's jam every OTHER day:
to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know.'
'I don't understand you,' said Alice. 'It's dreadfully confusing!'
'That's the effect of living backwards,' the Queen said kindly:
'it always makes one a little giddy at first--'
'Living backwards!' Alice repeated in great astonishment.
'I never heard of such a thing!'
'--but there's one great advantage in it,
that one's memory works both ways.'
'I'm sure MINE only works one way,' Alice remarked.
'I can't remember things before they happen.'
'It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,'
the Queen remarked.
Un-jam yourselves today, my friends!
