ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at the role of time in the meaning-making process. I’ll suggest Jung’s concepts-synchronicity, acausal connection and meaning-filled coincidence-encourage us to ask how does ‘time fill with meaning’ rather than ‘show meaning-filled time’ exists. Further, his use of ‘scientific’ language, I believe, says more about a wish to reframe his own mystical experiences in terms of a dominant cultural myth than about the nature of being and time.
