Archetypal Synchronistic Resonance

In an earlier post, I discussed an unusual encounter I had two years ago with a young psychologist named Brendan Engen. He introduced himself to me as someone who might have been a student of mine -- in a past lifetime! You can read about our exchange here:

Now the article we have jointly authored about our experience has just been published in the Journal Of Humanistic Psychology. Here's what the journal's editor, Dr. Kirk Schneider, had to say about this article:

We move from play to the paranormal with our next fascinating feature on "Archetypal Synchronistic Resonance." Lest you put the journal down at this moment and run for the TV, I can assure you that you will be making a profound mistake. Jeffrey Mishlove (of ... TV's "Thinking Allowed" fame) and Brendan Engen's study is a ground-breaking inquiry into reincarnation (or what is more commonly called the "rebirth" experience); it is also one of the most riveting narratives we have conveyed. The story begins with the first of a series of uncanny correspondences between Mishlove and Engen regarding a past-life resonance with the Roman philosopher Seneca. Although neither author knew each other at the time, their shared resonance over this figure inspired them to investigate further. The result is Mishlove's archetypal synchronistic resonance theory, which methodologically provides a basis for the aforementioned phenomenon. Although I was skeptical about this piece at first, eventually I was won over. It is both provocative and phenomenologically restrained.

And, here is a blog post on the godhead archetype that takes the theory of archetypal synchronistic resonance even further than the journal article:
