    author of The Jung Cult and The Aryan Christ:     This is an absolutely fascinating book, and the best commentary on synchronicity that I have ever read. It will be of tremendous interest to Jungians. Although I am allergic to psychoanalytic explanations, I found that M.D. Faber convinced me again and again with such an analysis of the roots of C.G. Jung's famous concept.
Description: Faber offers a critique of Jung's theory of synchronicity that develops an alternative to demystify synchronistic happenings by explaining them in purely naturalistic terms. The book's larger purpose is to demystify Jung's archetypal psychology and to explain the whole Jungian approach to human behavior in naturalistic terms. Because Jung's psychology is ultimately religious in nature, the book touches generally upon the implications of religion and religious conduct. The book offers the reader an opportunity to ponder the psychological nature of synchronicity either as a spiritual occurrence with paranormal overtones or as a return of the repressed, a mnemonic trace of events that actually transpired in the life of the individual.
