The startling and paradoxical discoveries in quantum mechanics and the Jungian concepts of acausality and synchronicity are described and examined in terms of their parallels and their implication for our personal lives, particularly as they impart meaning to our existence. Included in the discussion are the bases for Einstein's objections to quantum mechanics, the importance of Bell's theorem as the bridge between subatomic and psychic events, the "measurement problem" in physics, along with the four major attempts at resolving the problem. Finally, it is speculated that there is already before us the arbitrary yet necessary resolution to the measurement problem: a vision of reality that provides for both an underlying order and oneness as well as its complementary partner that provides for free will, creativity, and individuality. Quantum Mechanics: The theory that energy is not absorbed nor radiated continuously but discontinuously, in definite unit particles called quanta Synchronicity: The meaningful but acausal confluence of events

The issue of whether Bell's theorem and other remote connectedness phenomena, such as Young's double slit experiment, demands superluminal or space-like signals or prior generated luminal signals is an area of hot debate. This also relates to the existence of advanced vs. retarded potentials and annihilation creation operators which are of interest in this regard. Using the complex model of we will examine the issue of the nonlocality of Bell's theorem as quantum mechanical ‘transactions’ providing a microscopic communication path between detectors across space-like intervals, which violate the EPR locality postulate [1]. See Chap. 4. This picture appears consistent with the remote connectedness properties of complex Minkowski space. Also, there are implications for macroscopic communications channels; another area of debate. Detailed discussions of Bell's theorem are given in [2].
