The Playful Universe: Synchronicity and the Nature of Consciousness

edited by Marjorie Woollacott, David Lorimer and Gary Schwartz

This volume consists of essays by scientists and academics describing their own experiences of synchronicity and how these experiences transformed both their worldview and the way they lived their lives. The essays consider possible interpretations/explanations and implications of these synchronistic events for a deeper understanding of consciousness and the interconnected nature of reality in terms of epistemology and ontology. A major theme of the volume is, “What kind of universe makes synchronicity possible?” We anticipate that you will be intrigued, and also perhaps feel a sense of participatory resonance and joy, at the answers you find in the essays. We truly believe that this is a fundamentally intelligent, benevolent, creative and playful universe in which we, as individual expressions of the one Universal Mind, co-create our reality.
