Introduction

Abstract

At the beginning of every academical text stands the personal question, why write, and on which topic? My general intention with the following work is to place myself within the transrational approach to peace-studies through processing the topic of synchronicity – a topic that has haunted me for many years now. Carl Rogers’s insight that “the most personal also is the most universal,” means by implication that the most universal also is the most personal. Consequently, it should indeed be possible to write something relevant for the general public by taking outset in a personal topic – and learn something deeply personal by engaging with universal topics and processes in a general way.
