You need a little background in Eastern thought systems before Jung's deeper meanings make any sense. He seems to have foreseen some of our postmodern avenues of scientific research, such as chaos theory and quantum mechanics, which were also informed by Eastern thought. I'm not keen on synchronicity, but that may be because I don't understand quantum physics as well as I'd like.
