Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 660650, post: 284298, member: 660650"] Fun fact: The word "synchronicity" introduced by Carl Jung's psychology theories that SMT series took inspirations from so hard that they turned some of his theories into video games. So synchronicity means "a weird coincidence that happened but there is no real connection between the two whatsoever". For example thinking about this game and then after few hours seeing this game being uploaded here is a topic of synchronicity lol. Due to synchronicity sometimes people start to think "I see number 4 everywhere then it means I'll die" when in reality it's simply a coincidence despite how meaningful and personal it may make you feel!!! In deep down this is just "what the word is about" when the idea itself deeper than that!!! Carl Jung would say "seeing number 4 everywhere" and you associate it with your own death would be a "synchronistic event". This is not prophecy, but it's about your unconscious mind "floating up" an idea to your consciousness because of "some reason". It makes the idea an active memory therefore active memory make your brain have more attention to the idea. However there is really no "significant" reason for it because for whatever reason an idea may be triggered just because of another idea. For example reading about "an apple" may make you remember what happened in your childhood regarding an apple and thus this memory can make other memories activated despite your mind doesn't notices. It's just the way we sometimes "see X" everywhere just because it's the element of our selective filter because its memory is active and therefore our brain tend to be "able to see it" when normally you actually don't notice it or even if you had notice it wouldn't mean anything to you. So when the coincidence "means something to you" it's a topic of synchronicity. [/QUOTE]
