About This Quote
This quote by Carl Jung refers to the concept of synchronicity, which is the idea that events that seem to occur randomly are actually following a broader plan. Carl Jung was one of the first people to explore synchronicity during his work with patients. Those who have read his work will know that he believed all of life was interconnected, and that our destinies were determined by forces beyond us. According to Carl Jung, every event in our lives is caused by another event, whether or not we are aware of it at the time.
