I think this is a nice synopsis:
“Synchronicity by F. David Peat is an attempt to explain the following:
I was just thinking about you, hadn’t seen you in years, and suddenly there you were.
I had a dream you weren’t well, and now I find you have cancer.
I woke up feeling lucky, don’t know why. Went to the racetrack and picked two winners.
What is going on here? Peat suggests that there are two orders in the universe: the explicit, which is what we see, and the implicit, which underpins and connects what we see to realities distant from our immediate perception.
Peat’s simplest explanation of this situation draws on Carl Jung, who contended, in effect, that we all are icebergs of consciousness floating on a sea of unconsciousness that connects and gave rise to us in the first place.
A more complicated explanation draws on quantum theory, wherein two subatomic particles can become “entangled” and remain connected to one another despite thousands of miles, or more, of distance between them.
This is one of those provocative books that explores our indifference to why things are as they are...they just are.
It ends with an interesting image: aliens land on earth, see humankind’s sameness all over the globe and cannot imagine how we can tolerate, and even provoke, the fantastic inequality of conditions that prevail in the developed and developing world.”

Saved it, checked a bit going to look more into it later
Here’s a link, btw, just click the get button for a PDF
I had posted a thread on .org titled along the lines of “you can predict the future” or something like that, if you find that thread and read it, that’s basically the premise of this book, and I’m just realizing it, jfl
