In a "believe it or don't" experience, right after I read the response to one of the statements I made in my previous post, my computer froze. Is this an experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally un-related. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small. (and so that I will not be fired by my current employer because of plagiarism, this is the definition of Jung's concept of synchronicity from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Syncronicity>? or just a coincidence?
