This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, Seedperson1 joins me with a book recommendation. Many years ago, he read a book that really opened his eyes to the practicality of magickal philosophy and metaphysics, a book that got him looking further and asking more questions. This work was Synchronicity: The Art Coincidence, Choice & Unlocking Your Mind by Dr. Kirby Surprise.

Using this book as an opportunity to look further at CG Jung's research and philosophy of the "synchronicity experience", we also find ample opportunity to discuss chaos theory and the magickal philosophies related to it, and really probe the idea of chance and statistics in metaphysics.

This also gives way to secondary topics like JB Rhine's parapsychology program at Duke University (founded in the early 20th century and persisting to this day) and even the CIA and their own declassified studies into parapsychology.

While it's not nearly as cut and dry as smooth-talking cult leaders would lead you to believe, we certainly hold more power in our psyches than modern science has fully understood yet. It's largely a matter of trying to separate the wheat from the chaff in a topic like this.

It's all this and more this week! We hope you dig it.
