Fear grips those who doubt that their existence has meaning, and
the prevailing notion that humans are situated on a dot in the
middle of a dark, cold universe leaves people shivering in cosmic
insignificance. Many would argue that science and technology have
separated individuals from God while others would say that people
have lost their faith, and some would assert that God is dead. Many
simply do not know what to believe. Today's self-help industry is a
testament to the search for meaning in an age of uncertainty and
faltering religious structures. The truth is that technology and
science now answer many of the questions that used to be left to
God. This development has confounded people's ability to integrate
what is known today with what was once thought. The disparity
between past and present beliefs may be observed in the concept of
the angel. There are many who claim that any lingering belief in
angels is merely the residue of imaginary or wishful thinking, and
there are others who hold that angels (wings, halos, and harps)
literally exist. How is one to reconcile such contradictory
beliefs? C. G. Jung's theory of synchronicity (meaningful
coincidence) provides a vehicle for the exploration and possible
reconciliation of such questions. Rather than echoing the skeptic
who says angels cannot exist or the religious enthusiast who
affirms their immanence, one might reframe the entire discussion.
Like the biblical concept of annunciation, in which an angel
delivers a heavenly message to an earthly individual, synchronicity
defines the moment at which the eternal touches the temporal.
