WHAT'S THE TERM??????????


I HEARD A TERM ONCE THAT DESCRIBED THIS PHENOMENON OF CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT EVENTUALLY COMES FULL CIRCLE. SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT OF HAD A "C" IN IT OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN FRENCH. I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY. NOW AFTER SEEING "CRASH" IT'S REALLY BUGGING ME. DOES ANYBODY KNOW????

Is it "serendipity" ?

reply

It could be "synchronicity," but I don't think that means the events come full circle, they're just coincidentally connected in an important, even life-altering way. (Not really coincidental at all.)

Kind of similar to what you're describing anyway.

reply

maybe it's Karma. Karma is full circle!

Ouroboros? That's the image of the snake swallowing its own tail, which is a visual metaphor for eternity, among other things

reply

symbiosis??? It is a relationship between people that depend on each other equally. What about correspondence??? interconnection???

Climax?

Culmination? In French, culminate is culminez.

When you find out, please post it here. It's driving me crazy as well.

Entropy? "A measure of order that exists in any system" For example, the universe is entropy = random, chaos, infinate but in the end completely balanced.

Intersection?

Possibly what you're thinking of is "La Ronde", after the 1950 French film. Let me know if you've been put out of your misery!
