The Coincidence of Meaning
Journal Article
Martina Moneke explores Carl Jung’s notion of synchronicity—the mysterious convergence of inner experience and external event that carries symbolic significance. Using Jung’s famous “golden scarab” story as a point of departure, the essay explores how such moments suggest a more profound coherence in reality, one in which psyche and matter reflect a shared source.
