Product Description

The author is no stranger to tackling mysteries. He is internationally known as a highly competent investigator of the paranormal and a trustworthy chronicler of such in ten books. The New York Times exclaimed that his best-selling book, The Andreasson Affair, "if true, must rank with the great classics of scientific revelation." Air Force chief UFO scientific consultant, Dr. J. Allen Hynek wrote that his UFO investigations are "meticulous" and "far exceed" that of the government. Dr. Kenneth Ring, father of Near Death Experience [NDE] research wrote that Fowler's researched book on Near Death and UFO experiences "may well have deciphered the ultimate nature and meaning" of these baffling phenomena.

In SynchroFile, Fowler applies the same kind of meticulous research into the supernatural-like synchronistic experiences that permeate his life. This book compiles the results of his research into Jungian psychology, the New Physics and his study of a ten-year diary of personal and family experiences of amazing coincidences and paranormal experiences. His research leads to the incredulous conclusion that time is an illusion and that reports of synchronicity, ghosts, out of the body experiences, near death experiences, UFOs, precognition, telepathy, and other extrasensory experiences are all individual expressions of one intelligent-like meta-phenomenon.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy knows his stuff, October 25, 2007

By	Billiam (Maine) - See all my reviews

What a great Idea. He spent many years recording his on synchronism's that happened in his everyday life. Think of the many times we all have had that chill in our spine when you pick up the phone to call some one and they are already on the other end, or when you have a song stuck in your head and you flip on the radio and their it is. Your think about someone you have not seen our thought about in years, and then all of a sudden you run into them out of the blue. These synchronism's happen to us every day, yet we end up brushing them off as some kind of coincident. I have had the privilege of attending one of his UFO classes(The Watchers) at his home here in Kennebunk, Maine. All I can say is that Ray Fowler is an extraordinary individual that has extensive knowledge which goes a lot further than UFO Abductions. I believe he probably knows a lot more than he has revealed.
This book is bit different than his others because of the scientific structure to time lines and events, but I found it to be a very interesting read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quasi-interesting at best, December 26, 2004

By	Sargon "of Akkad" (Canada) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be very tedious. The author links everyday occurances with syncronicity. Makes you wonder if he ever heard of the term COINCIDENCE. Anyway, some parts are truly interesting (about Jung), but others are really, really, boring to the point he completely lost me.

He listed coincidental "events" point-by-point, like how many times his computer, as an example, showed some "number" at the same time his wife was calling him for supper. One would think if you're going to author a book you would attempt to explain to your target audience these events beyond rehashing Jung's theories, make a point-by-point presentation, yakking about your "life" and the daily minutiae associated with it. Some strange events occurred with him and others could be explained, I think, through random chance/coincidence.

I wasn't impressed. I'm sure there are better books out there which can explain synchronicity. I bought it because I noticed that when I was buying a new car (older used - new for me), a Mercedes in fact (a particular model that is), which is quite rare. I noticed them here, there, whereever I was & worked. The gas station, supermarket, etc. They are NOT a common car. I'd walk over to get a coffee and there one was right in my face. I talked to the owner, he loved it, yada, yada, yada....my resolve was reinforced. Went to a gas station, one pulls up beside me, yada, yada, yada...more resolve. I ended up buying one. NOW, they are NOWHERE to be found and I'm ACTIVELY looking for them. Weird, no? Or what? Don't know and "Syncrofile" definitely didn't help so it looks like I'll be buying other books on the subject. My recommendation is skip this one.

BTW, I bought it on the recommendation of FATE magazine which I buy now and again. Needless to say the reviewer of this book was smoking crack or something or maybe it's one of those scenarios where every movie review you read on the back of some noname movie's cover tells you how "mesmerizing", "spellbinding" the said retard flick is whereas my dog could have done a better job of making it.
