Synchronicity
Origin: Gr. σύγχρονος
The experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated. In order to be "synchronistic," the events must be related to one another temporally, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small. The apparent a-causal relationship among events; coincidences that could not be planned by human mind but that appear to flow from a larger and more comprehensive design.
Spanish: Sincronicidad
