"The paranormal is about paradox, not proof; about meaning, not mechanism; about myth, not math. Most of all, however, the paranormal is about the 'coincidence' or fundamental unity of mind and matter. Two of [Philip K.] Dick's favorote scholars captured this truth in two Latin sound bites: the
mysterium conjunctionis, or 'mystery of conjunction,' of C. G. Jung and the
coincidentia oppositorum, or 'coincidence of opposites,' of Mircea Eliade." —Jeffrey J. Kripal, footnote in
Philip K. Dick's Exegesis
