The tripartite reality suggested by dual-aspect thinking implies tripartite pair correlations between the mental, the physical, and the psychophysically neutral domains of reality. As Jung insisted, these correlations are acausal and
not random, but rather substantiated by meaning. Two different kinds of meaning, reference and sense (as introduced by Frege), are useful to distinguish two different kinds of meaningful correlations. Surface correlations connect the mental and the physical by reference, while deep correlations connect both of them to their psychophysically neutral ground by sense. Some scenarios will be addressed to illustrate how those correlations can be experienced. Examples range from experiences of profound insight to more mundane synchronicities, which all match a taxonomy of exceptional experiences developed and empirically comfirmed in recent years.
