This may cause some of you who suspect I'm some sort of scientific/psycho babble nerd to no longer just suspect I am.
I came across a discussion of some of the works of Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist, psychologist Dr. Carl Jung that further fed my interest in things multiverse. While not referring directly to the possible existence of parallel universes or the multiverse, his work led others to believe there is a connection to what Dr. Jung called "Synchronicity." "Synchronicity has been proposed as a corollary phenomenon of the many-worlds or parallel universes theory of quantum physics, in that the subject is somehow ‘navigating’ to those particular alternate worlds that are correlated to their past history, among the myriad possible other worlds that are not as correlated to their past history." I am 'navigating' to articles such as this one searching for alternative worlds correlated to my past history writing Raymond Quinn's story, and now, Shelly Roul's in the sequel? Wow, and all along I thought it was Google telling me where to go. Here's a plain language example of Synchronicity from the article. There are more if you care to read them. "You drive to a place where parking is “next to impossible” and someone pulls out of a parking spot or it is waiting for you." How do I find this stuff? A better question would be, how does it find me? Dr. Jung might say Synchronicity.
