Jung gave a full statement of this concept in 1951 when he published the paper Synchronicity - An Acausal Connecting Principle,[1] jointly with a related study by the physicist Wolfgang Pauli.

In Jung’s and Pauli’s description causality acts from the past, whereas synchronicities act from the future. Synchronicities are meaningful since they lead towards a finality, providing a direction to events, linking them in an apparently acausal ways.
