Carl Jung's Synchronicity Theory

The term "catalytic exteriorization phenomenon" refers to a concept explored by Carl Jung related to synchronicity and the potential for external events to be influenced by psychological states. It was highlighted during a visit with Sigmund Freud, where Jung experienced a sensation of his diaphragm turning red-hot, followed by a loud sound from a nearby bookcase. Jung interpreted this as a "catalytic exteriorization phenomenon," suggesting a connection between his internal psychological state and the external event.
