Meaningful Coincidences

[Studeo]

Hi folks this is my first thread. I been having strange instances of coincedences the past couple of years. These involve me reading something like a book or newspaper and listening to radio or TV at the same time. When I read a word or sentance, that word is echoed at the very same time I am reading it on the Radio or TV! At first I thought this was just a coincedence but it started to get more frequent.
Now here's the kicker, now my first name is being repeated in the media. Not just once a day but upto 3-4 times. There are a number of ways of spelling it and it is always the same way as mine.
It may be meaningless but it's starting to freak me out a bit now.
I read once that an increase in coincidence worldwide hearalds the beginning of the end. Has anyone else have the same experiance? By the way my first name is Stuart.

[Joslin]

Hi there

It sounds like you have a nervous disposition to repartition, this is been commonly recorded as a over sensitivity to parts of ear picking up frequenses of words and sounds that do not resinate at the same level all the time, for example: 5 words out of a spoken sentance of 25 words increas in level above the rest, this is caused by many forms of cognative stress.
But the down fall is the natural subconscious mathematially begins to focus on paterns and repartition, once it begins to do this, it can very easily start scanning for specific things that might have a similar resinance and freaquency, the first most common denominator the mind searches for will purely be on a subconsious narcassistic level, like your own name..... If it does this, the mathematical pattern seeker part of your brain will constantly scan for that same word or name, conserntrating on it, and any and all instances related to a specific word or name can very easily be calculated as more than just a coincidence. Once it persists, the subconsious trys to make more of what is going, than what actually is.

This causes paranoia and anxiaty, furthering or adding to the orginal stress orignator, creating a looping miopic self conditioning.

The fact that you state because you read something "once" about coincidence means the world is going to end, - would solidly suggest a level of paranoia has shown its ugly head.

As for how rare your name is spelt, i would have to say that, the most common and pricise english spelling for Stuart... is Stuart... This is how it is spelt in europe and UK, and pretty much most of the 57 countries that used to be part of the British Empire.

I would strongly suggest you see you doctor to give you a complete physical to evaluate your stress levels and you would have to explain to him that your hearing is up picking sounds and spoken individual words in spoken sentances, at diferent freaquances and pitches. This is not rare, but untreated, and left to persist for a long time, it can cause a fixed conditoned Miopic cognative resanance to your own perscription to what you think is must be. In other words, you may become completely convinced what is causing it is not a natural biological factor, but a supernatural factor.

But thats is my professional "Opinion"

Hello Stuart. I don't think there is coincidence. There is a meaning and a reason for everything. Our reality is created from all consciousnesses, everything begins in thought/feeling form, which is the only realm that is not surrounded by limits. We are like emitter/receptor and we are in a never ending communication with the whole of Creation. You see a communication, that is what I perceive from your description. It is yours to decode it, because you have your own deep meaningful language. But because we are cultural and gregarious beings, we have a lot in common in etymology. It makes me think you are simply receiving signals from your own deep soul. I think that you are on a path of transformation and your own soul, deep in your subconsciousness, sends you message only you can really grasp the significance. Most of the time, these are not necessarily messages to be understood or decoded, but rather signals from the soul to confirm the ego on its harmonious path to evolution... I too have these kind of sparks of communication, the more I am intrigued and passionate to play this "game" (I see it a lot like a game to be enjoyed and blessed), the more these signals and communication forms are clear and on the spot in regard to my current situation in Life.

I might very well be wrong here, but if you see your name appearing in a curious form in your Life, it might means your soul ask you to focus on yourself. Have in mind the soul always tries to keep balance and harmony and when the ego goes a bit too far in one selective direction, causing after a while a lack of balance, potentially creating disorder, the soul stir the rudder to correct the situation. But in definitive, it is the ego that has the responsibility of his decisions, consciously or unconsciously.

Edit: Same here Baelsfire ;)

Namaste, Steven

Joslin, i feel your advice doesn't pay enough attention to the synchroncity of these experiences Stuart talks of. While i don't disagree in principle as a possibility, i feel "Cognitive Stress" doesnt really explain what may be going on in regards to cognition and objective reality. In fact I have heard that argument used to explain away many things which deserve a much greater depth of investigation, belittling the abilities of consciousness itself and such things as precognition, clear-cognition, etc. Though i see the reason why you might of thought this way..

Stuart, i have to say though the idea of it (increase in coincidence) marking the "beginning of the end" is a bad one. Thought shaping reality is pretty much a fact for me, in varying degrees... you ask if your thought is creating reality, and then ask is it the "beggining of the end". Well, are you using your thoughts to shape it (reality) that way? The end of what by the way? Is your reality a linear progression from A-B? Does consciousness work like that? Or does it frequently prove that reality is not a linear progression?

Carl Jung has written extensively on synchronicity, and had some very interesting ideas. Coincindently (pun intended) im holding a copy in my hand of Jung on Synchroncity and the Paranormal a selection of essays and "key readings" of his. Check out page 93.


EDIT: Steven, i like your post there :)

What i explained to him, is the most responsible thing to do on an internet forum that, is predominalty telling people to forget there troubles and the mysteries surrounding their physical health, and believe in the supernatural instead, all to people who most likely have no idea how that really works. So i will always begin with things specifically related to this living physical reality, of which he him self can get definative physical evidance and second opinions from medical proffessionals of which base what they already know from endless books of countless research on physical evidence, which will allways out matches 100 to 1 any evidance on a sociopathic and solopsistic nature of the supernatural regardless how many letters of the alphabet are after the name of a scholar that researches and writes books on such phenomina.

But the mind is non-physical, how can you apply physical sciences to something which is not quantifiable with physical scientific methodology?

Plus, you all but said "Theres something wrong with you" :painkiller:

[Joslin]

But the mind is non-physical, how can you apply physical sciences to something which is not quantifiable with physical scientific methodology?

Plus, you all but said "Theres something wrong with you" :painkiller:

How can you question proven evidences of physical scientific methodology as unwarrented, to the completely unproven theology of the brain being a pointless peice of flesh if the mind is non physical.

Erm, i think youll find it is the soul that is non physical, and "all" of the processes of mind is mathematical as the physical brain it self is designed to work acording to the principle of a computer, The presence of the soul is simply the on switch to the whole. If the processes of the mind and the mind it self was non physical, you wouldnt need a brain to acumilate and store all the imformation your eyes ears nose and touch have taken in and processed since the day you were concieved, and even with that you only use 10% of your brain to calculate this storage of information contained in the rest.
And i said more than just you have something wrong with you, i offered genuine definitive proven realities where his problem "could be" resolved.

[Baelsfire]

Please explain how you differentiate between the soul and consciousness/mind as being two distinct entities/processes?

The brain is physical but the brain isn't the mind, its simply the foothold through which the consciousness operates within a reality focused on the temporal and physical dimensions. Telling some one they need to go to a doctor because they are experiencing anomalous events is not only myopic but intellectually dishonest. How can your offer be a definitive reality, given that you have already disregarded the whole theory of synchronicity in favour of some quack telling a person how their reality is supreme to another's?

You mentioned "supernatural" as if you hold such experiences out of mainstream acceptance as anything but genuine, then followed up with your attempt to inform me that the soul is non-physical. That strikes me as a little self-contradictory.

But lets be clear, as i do not want to make an enemy with you over a difference of understanding. Studeo's "problem" relates to consciousness and synchronicity, not a medical problem. I suggest his first port of call to be to material pertaining to ("para")psychology and the nature of anomalous experiences, which are undoubtedly genuine. There he can develop a comprehension of his mind given the mass theories from all sorts of academic professionals and how they relate to his experiences.

I think this a far better option than running to a dr who will probably tell him that anything not conforming to outdated scientific paradigms is abnormal and should be corrected to fit mainstream agenda, then proceed to prescribe tablets to change his brain chemistry!

READ THIS

The term synchronicity is coined by Jung to express a concept that belongs to him. It is about acausal connection of two or more psycho-physic phenomena. This concept was inspired to him by a patient's case that was in situation of impasse in treatment. Her exaggerate rationalism (animus inflation) was holding her back from assimilating unconscious materials. One night, the patient dreamt a golden scarab - cetonia aurata. The next day, during the psychotherapy session, a real insect this time, hit against the Jung's cabinet window. Jung caught it and discovered surprisingly that it was a golden scarab; a very rare presence for that climate.

So, the idea is all about coincidence: in this case, between the scarab dreamt by the patient and its appearance in reality, in the psychotherapy cabinet.

But this coincidence is not senseless, a simple coincidence. By using the amplification method, Jung associates in connection with the scarab and comes to the concept of death and rebirth from the esoteric philosophy of antiquity, a process that, in a symbolic way, the patient should experience for a renewal and vitalization of her unilateral personality, the cause of the neurosis she was suffering from.

Thus, a significant coincidence of physical and psychological phenomena that are acausal connected.

I will not continue to respond to this argument, it is deflecting the purpose of the thread, and the fact this could continue for ever, and achieving nothing and neither of us will be swade by the other.

Lets just say we complete agree, .....that we completely and Utterly disagree.....

hey, im standing on the shoulders of giants, and the one i named is particularly relevant to this thread, as is the passage i quoted.. You can disregard Carl Jung and his theories if you wish, but you should understand the massive impact he has had on psychology and even western culture. Im not talking about flying unicorns ;)

I've read this thread carefully and I have to agree with Baelsfire completely. Jung is some of the most usefull stuff I've ever read and the myriad of inter-connections between supposed "co-incidences" can get so "impossible" almost sometimes you have to ponder on more. I think it's sad that Stuart might be starting down a fledgling spiritual road only to be told he's paranoid and to see a doctor. That is acrying shame, especially in a forum entitled "spirituality". You wouldn't go onto NASA online and tell em they're all being fed bull**** and need to see a doc just coz they're bereft of ALL the facts to make the whole picture.

I see synchronous occurences as hugely helpfull Stuart and they amuse the heck out of me once the fear/uncertainty subsides. I would advise you to embrace them and laugh with them, for the universe is certainly laughing with you (in my opinion).

All the best Stuart.

[Holly Lindin]

Stuart, I find this is much like when glancing at the clock to see 3.33 or 11.11. And my personal thought is, when these things happen, what you're doing/thinking/saying at that moment is quite prevalent to your journey. What are you doing/thinking/saying when you hear your name (during the times it strikes you.)? What are the words you're hearing doubled through two separate mediums at once? What do these things mean to you? Perhaps a Spirit Guide, Angel, your Higher Self, etc., is trying to contact you, and using your name is a way to get your attention? I personally find that these kinds of things happen to me when I'm living more of a physical life and not giving myself enough quiet or reflective time. I always use it as an indication from my Higher Self that it's time to close down the internet, put down whatever I'm doing, BREATHE (because so often do we forget to do that one simple thing! :)), and take a few minutes out for silence and positive affirmation/chanting/meditation/T'ai Chi, etc. (Same as when I stub my toe or drop something on my foot or whatever.)

I think you already know that your World is exactly how you shape it. So please stay positive about yourself and the future, Stuart. There's nothing wrong with you. You are Divine Perfection! I send you tons of Peace, Unity, Love, and Light as you go through this mystifying, beautiful journey - the journey to the Self. Know that you are always thought of in Love.

I am a Yellow Spectral Seed

http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/M_yellow_spec_seed.html

Yellow Seed is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming.

Yellow Seed is the ordered pattern of growth. You and your life are the fertile soil, and the mystery blooms within you through the power of your intention or seed thoughts. Just as a seed contains the hologram of its completion, the process of manifestation follows a natural order. In this gestation process, your intention is quickened by Spirit. The charged seed, your true desire or vision, becomes the focus for germination.

What can you open that will support receptivity and assist the germination of your seed intentions? Envision the seed receiving the invitation to grow in the openness of your world. Viscerally feel the possibility of your heart's dream emerging. Your true desires and dreams contain an innate intelligence that can break through even the rigidity of fixed expectations. Planting a new seed, even in the hard soil of old belief systems, can bring unexpected magic and growth.

Be willing to break open the constraining shells of past patterns, the shackles of belief structures. Call forth your creative involvement with life. This involvement frees and awakens the powerful energy of the life force, shifting your perceptions and experience, catalyzing the manifestation of your dreams. Participate spontaneously in your growth, unrestricted by the illusion of old structures that once provided safety. Move forward into the light of new possibilities.

Offer your dream-seed to the universe. In the ordered patterning of the light, align with your heart's greater purpose. In gratitude, surrender and release the seed to the benefit of your growth and its own pattern of perfection.

The number for Yellow Seed is four, the vibration of measure. This is the number of cycles and seasons. It represents the ordered patterning of the light wherein, as Jose Arguelles says, "form learns to generate its own seed." The number four represents the freed pattern of form, the germination of specific seeds co-created with Spirit. If you are in the process of seeding something, meditate with the number four and the energy of Yellow Seed to assist you.


Yellow Seed is also your Higher Self & Guide. (you are guided by your own power doubled)

Yellow Seed encompasses an ordered pattern of light known as entelechy, the power that directs an organism toward the fulfillment of its own nature. Yellow Seed is a symbol of this natural, ordered power. Within any seed is the hologram of both is potential and the fulfillment of it's true nature. All possibility exists within the seed; it is informed directly from the ordered patterning of the light. That is to say, the perfect unfolding of a seed's potential is determined at each stage of its growth. Often we are caught in the maze of mind, looking for answers when, through our innate tropism to the light, our perfect pattern of growth would unfold with joyful ease.

Tropism is the tendency to respond or move toward something by natural attraction. Through a code inherent within, a sprouted seed grows toward the light and a sunflower follows the Sun. In like manner, you respond to the light of your Essence Self, opening naturally to the fulfillment of your true nature. Through your own process of living and learning, you generate and plant various intentions and desires. As your natural growth pattern is catalyzed and awakened, your truth germinates in wisdom, emerging into the light in which all seeds flourish. Thus, as you plant your own truth, more truth comes to light. In this way, you create ever more fertile ground in which to explore and express all that you are.


Red Earth is your Subconscious Self and Hidden Helper.

Red Earth is the access point to your natural alignment with Earth force. It is the unis mundi, the point of perfect centeredness in the eternal present from which all alignment and magic manifest. Your center, the Earth center, is the secret of gravity's magnetizing force. Red Earth is the channel of harmonic synchronization that is aligned with the galactic heart. From the center point within eslf, you align with this galactic center and connect through your own crystalline structure to the larger crystal grid network. To keep this channel of synchronization open, connect to the elemental energies of earth, air, fire and water, and the seven directional guardians.

Cosmic consciousness is not just 'out there'; it is also resonating within you. Be sacramentally rooted where you are. You are made of the Earth! Look through the 'eyes' in your feet. Your body is the present focus of your consciousness - through it all gifts are received. Remember, too, that your environment is alive and reacts to your awareness of it; therefore, the way you perceive the Earth and your physical form affects the information you receive.

Red Earth is the Earth keeper, the keeper of the garden, the shaman/healer who, through reverence for all life, heals and sanctifies the Earth. Earth keepers preserve the harmonic relationship with nature by connecting to the wisdom held in matter. In Latin, mater means "mother". As you bring light into yourself, you bring light into matter. You and the Earth both contain the holographic seed of the new consciousness emerging.

Center yourself in the present moment! This is where you can most beneficially observe the synchronicities and revelations about your personal pattern and larger purpose. From here your mind can learn to be keenly observant, allowing the larger pattern to take shape as naturally as the small brushstrokes that eventually complete a beautiful painting.

Sit in simple relationship to the Earth, like a poet enraptured in a forest. Be rooted where you are now. Out of synergistic centeredness, you will receive your greatest desires and open to the full flowering of the mystic power of the universe. This synchronization can be seen as the alignment of your personal myth with the greater myth of our times. Myth is the framework or "story" in which the truth of the cosmos is revealed in symbolic form. Utilize it to catalyze your unfolding alignment.

By accepting your physical form and your growth process in this world, you access the hub of centeredness out of which all the truth and magic of the universe unfold.

Take off your shoes. Touch the one Earth. Find a place to dance with the sacred hoop of life. Contribute your vision as an awakened member of the global rainbow family!



White Wizard represents your Challenge and Gift. With maturity and awareness this challenge will turn into a Focus. This is what you desire to learn in this lifetime.

One shadow of White Wizard can be seen in issues regarding integrity. Integrity comes from an intention to be honest and true to yourself and others. Having integrity means that you can be trusted to do what you say you will do. It also means that your actions are congruent with your feelings. Integrity comes from a deep connection with self. It is characterized by a willingness to speak your truth, to address your shadow issues honestly, and to complete issues with yourself and others.

White Wizard also reveals issues of control and personal power. Look into your life to see how these issues might be manifesting. Do you sometimes feel a need to hold on, to control, to have things your way? Is your personal will combined with a desires for recognition, approval, status, or fame? This society may have rewarded you for functioning from a place of personal power. Many people in this shadow seem calculating and controlling, using their minds without alliance to their hearts. The need for control arises when you feel insecure or no longer connected to that which creates meaning and satisfaction in your life.

Similarly, people who view power as something outside themselves may see magic as the art of controlling people and nature. This perception creates it's own lessons. In this shadow, you may unconciously bend or distort data. Some magicians may even feel justified in using their personl power to bolster their self-assurance or to manipulate others. In the darkest part of this shadow, manipulation is enacted for the sheer pleasure of power.

Everyone may be willful from time to time while learning how to align personal will with divine will. In this process, let your heart show you the way. Face your insecurities and step into who you truly are - a wise and powerful uman being, a magician of living. As you open to divine will, you will naturally resolve issues of personal will and power.

White Wizard also offers you an opportunity to create allies out of your fears and insecurities. Perhaps you are carrying issues from past lifetimes - deep wounds that create present issues of pain, anger or betrayal. These experiences may be clouding your vision. In order to acquire clear sight, begin to interact with and integrate these shadow teachers. The foundation for this integration is creating an ally of fear and a loving acceptance of all aspects of yourself. This heals the underlying structure that supports ego and insecurity. It also quiets the mind and aligns it with the heart, taking you into a space of clarity and self-empowerment.

Develop a clear connection with divine will and your Essence Self. Be transparent, innocently allowing magic to come through you rather than needing to create it. Open to heart-knowing and limitless possibilities.


Blue Eagle is your Compliment - something that comes naturally to you.

Blue Eagle reminds you to step powerfully into your commitment as a planetary server! Your assignment includes whatever furthers your personal evolution and the evolution of global mind. You are an awakener, a transformer, an empowered gloal visionary. In your vision, you have compassion for others, and your decisions are made in the light of global consciousness. Ask yourself how you might experience compassion toward self, the Earth, and others. Be guided towards types of work, relationships, places to live, and projects that will benefit the Earth and her creatures. Allow your spirit to expand. Soar on your spreading wings and planetary perspective. Affirm: "Through your, Gaia, I am also transformed! I am awakening as the return of divine love and light. We are all one. Gaia, as you awaken, I heal myself. As I awaken, you are healed, and together our petals open ecstatically to the new Sun of Flowers."

It is up to each one of us to hold a positive vision and affirmation, for the means by which this miracle will occur is through changes in the one affecting the greater whole.

Imagine the profound impact your loving thoughts have on planetary mind. You do make a difference! As you connect individually with the larger crystal grid network, your power is multiplied exponentially. This galactic grid is also known as the Mayan cobweb.

The greatest gift you can offer to the planet is to simply be the love. Believe in yourself and your dreams and visions! Remember your special gifts, your path of service on Earth, your promise to serve the light. Everything you are connects to the greater whole. You are starseeded! You have the vision of the eagle. Believe in your dreams. You are the hope and the vision revealed.

Your Tone is Tone 11 - Spectral

Change, disintegration, letting go, stripping away, complexity moving to simplicity.

Eleven is the ray of dissonance, the foundation of self combined with the foundation of Essence Self, catalyzed by the point of unity. Eleven is the process of disintegration, stripping away the layers down to your core essence. Unity, the great illuminator, is transforming patterns and structures, freeing you from things that no longer serve your emerging wholeness. Look through the surface appearance of your process. Let complexity dissipate, becoming the blessing of simplicity.

With the Spectral Tone of 11, cherished ideals, beliefs, and images of all kinds are being brought up for you to reexamine, illuminate, and transform. Examine what appears dissonant in your life. Let go! Embrace the disintegration process without resisiting or judging it. The rigid walls of your resistances are being broken down. Going through your resistances and boundaries prepares a space for greater wisdom. You are becoming an open system. Anything that defines you is being stripped away. Expect clearing and change. As your facade crumbles and your walls come tumbling down, the true illumination of self bursts through!

"I am more than stardust, I am a Prince, Divine in nature, and I will be a High Priest King before I leave this world. Not from ambition, but from compassion and true love, our inheritance awaits...I do not believe it is some etherial unknown kingdom. This Earth is a Crown Jewel in a VERY REAL sense."

These are the words a young friend sent to me, after writing about how significant and timely it was, that I sent him the Charles interview.

He also watched the "Bloodline" movie Bill suggested, and Bill's second interview (himself).

He has also visited this forum.

All of this in two days.

The timing...that I would be 'nudged' to tell him, and I did something out-of-character (unplanned), to GRAB his attention.

He knows, he HAS known. It's all in his last words to me last night.

[slvrfx]

Please share your personal stories. (There will be messages between the lines.)

Another that happened to me yesterday-

A thought came to me out of no where early in the afternoon about eyes, and how people can be hypnotized through the eyes.

Three hours later a friend came over, and the first thing he tells me, is that when he was in his hot-tub around 1 PM, he was 'told' that when he visited me later, he was to ask me, very specifically, if I could be hypnotized. He continued to say, that my answer to that question had nothing to do with him, and how he was only supposed to relay that message.

This friend is a fun-loving guy who makes me laugh A LOT. A trust-worthy friend, a free-thinker but not obsessively, who happens across stars in the oddest places, and keeps seeing 3's.

He doesn't come here, he didn't know about Atticus' asking the color of people's eyes. Or the comments made about looking into peoples' eyes.

Something to think about.

[Pathosology]

For the past month or so, I consciously decided to conduct an experiment of sorts- to not view anything as coincidence, but instead to accept that all are connected, that "all" really "Is.". I think my life may be changed forever- synchronicity abounds. I wonder if this is a truth for anyone else.

I welcome all thoughts and comments...

[PurpleLama]

one of my all time favorite quotes:

"The belief in coincidence is the prevalent superstition of the modern age."

And, yes, I agree: synchronicity abounds.

In fact, I frequently use the phrase "synchronicity abounds." It wasn't until I posted that I reread your post and realized you used precisely the same term. More synchronicity.

[Pathosology]

Its almost as if the Universe is constantly trying to get my attention. However, enter conundrum...

If we create our own realities, am I then creating my own synchronicity? Have yet to wrap my head around this one...

[PurpleLama]

of courae the uppermost part of our spiritual identity is no less that the creator itself. So, yes, synchronicity is frequently a higher portion of our self giving clues to these portions we are more immediately aware of. In my own understanding, that is.

[Pathosology]

So interesting about our common phrase, PurpleLama.

And right after reading your second post, speaking about our higher selves, you helped me answer my own question. I actually had already posted it in my opening comments: "all" really "Is.". I like to believe in the holographic theory of our universe, which would mean that, since I "Am" a part of everything, of course it makes sense that my Higher Self, already connect to all that "Is" would do it's best to get little old 3D projection Me to see the clues and the paths to Truth and Light, because I asked to See beyond this reality.

[Charlie Pecos]

There is no such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. :)

[crosby]

here's something to ponder: last monday i was speaking to my mother about a sibling of mine who has been out of touch with our family for at least 8 years. the very next day, this sibling called me. very strange indeed. 6 weeks ago i was thinking about an old friend that i hadn't spoken with in several months and the next day, she stopped by my house for a visit. i've got a million stories like this. however, whenever i say something like, boy it would be nice if a couple of million dollars landed on my doorstep, THAT never happens. why is that? so i was thinking, is it my thinking that has brought about the connections, or is it that they were thinking along the same lines as i, or, was it something else?
regards, corson

[KosmicKat]

I learned long ago that coincidence is just a comfort for those who have not yet awoken to the truth

I was having a little break from Avalon and was reading up on other things, like astrology articles.
Deeply engrossed I was, reading about how the moon affects our consciousness during waning and waxing phases.
Then one touch on my screen and I scrolled into view something I had totally forgotten about, even though it was my intention not to.
Our dear Avalon member Revere just yesterday sent me a PM calling for participation in a global intention excercise.
The idea was to have a group of people all around the globe sensing peace and harmony all at the same time.
Well, they are already manifesting their alarm clocks down here in Costa Rica.
Get this.
I'm scrolling down my moon consciousness article and came across this:


http://www.astro.com/im/in/dg_disseminating4.jpg

and here is the accompanying text:

"But there are problems with the Moon. Precision of timing is one of them. As my friend, natural time expert Samten Williams says, "The impulse often precedes the Moon." Sometimes we can sense ourselves to be in a particular Moon phase before it actually arrives.
History provides a fine example. Paul Revere's ride is a marvelous image for the Disseminating Moon - when a silversmith, in just a few hours, with a just few words ("The British are coming!") mustered a whole countryside to arms. Disseminating power was strong that night: drums were beating, church bells ringing. By morning, unsuspecting British troops marched straight into a savage, well-organized fight. Revere started his ride just before midnight on April 18, 1775. The Moon did not shift into the Disseminating phase until five am on the 19th, when Revere was reaching his last few towns.
Technically Revere's ride was a Full Moon event, not a Disseminating one. News of a British invasion certainly fits our expectation of a Full Moon revelation. On the afternoon of the 18th, a stable boy overheard a British officer and took this story to Revere. But Revere clearly disseminated it, as did those who heard him. Their news spread like wildfire. So which Moon phase should we use to characterize this famous ride?"

Good question. My question is even better.
How can the PTB even contemplate going up against a force as subtle and marvellous as the one that sets up such incredible coincidences as this one?

In less than 50 minutes from now I will be joining this global excercise, and am wondering how many other people had synchronistic alarm bells ringing to make sure they didn't forget.

[ulli]

P.S. .
I nearly forgot: when I opened up the Avalon site in order to tell Revere about the coincidence that just happened, totally by coincidence I found at the top of the page a new thread, guess what? ABOUT coincidences, just in time for me to make a public announcement about it...just like Revere's ride.
"The REAL PTB are coming!!"

I have had quite a few surprising coincidences ....I think that once we manifest a thought ...the universe turns that thought into reality.....especially if the thought is a strong one!!

I mow grass for some people. I was riding by a yard one day, and thought, man, i wish all my yards were that flat, and I could get some more to mow. next week, I'm on my way to mow, and asked the universal conciousness to send me some more work, similar to that house with the flat yard. I start mowing in a totally different community and a man stops by as soon as I start the mower. He asks if I mow peoples yards, cause he needed it. The man lived in the house with the big flat yard that I had looked at and wished I could mow. Synchronicities abound.

here's something to ponder: last monday i was speaking to my mother about a sibling of mine who has been out of touch with our family for at least 8 years. the very next day, this sibling called me. very strange indeed. 6 weeks ago i was thinking about an old friend that i hadn't spoken with in several months and the next day, she stopped by my house for a visit. i've got a million stories like this. however, whenever i say something like, boy it would be nice if a couple of million dollars landed on my doorstep, THAT never happens. why is that? so i was thinking, is it my thinking that has brought about the connections, or is it that they were thinking along the same lines as i, or, was it something else?

I always have this happening to me too... wonder why?

Money, like the word reward can be both a curse and a blessing.
How many times have we heard of people who had nothing winning the lotteries and then losing the lot and being worse off than before?

Intuitively, I would think it has very much to do with intention. Especially regarding money, perhaps our higher selves better understand our own weaknesses than our present self.

[Pathosology]

Does anyone here think or feel that seeing and connecting synchronicities, where we previously had failed to see them, has some real connection to being awakened?

[loveandgratitude]

OK. I have to take a deep breathe here as I want to say so much I have to think about where to start.

First - The subconscious part of the mind or (HIGHER SELF is another description) - is awaiting your very command to assist you. So when you think of BOB or the sibling etc, you just gave the subconcious mind a command and the job of the subconsciousness mind (HIGHER SELF) is the HOW TO DO or WHAT TO DO part of our mind. So you think of BOB or the sibling and your subconciousness mind which has enormous power helps you to find BOB or the sibling.

Second - What is the HIGHER SELF? I have come to believe that the HIGHER SELF is ourselves in the FUTURE. So it can help and direct us into the best possible outcomes in the present. So when we ask for help or hand over a problem to the subconscious mind (HIGHER SELF) we get the best answers from our subconscousness mind, if we can just listen. Sometimes the subconscious mind will speak very loudly or sometimes in whispers or sometimes with a song etc.

Let us look at an example I recently had.

My daughter who is 23 was told after an ultrasound that she had huge cycts on her ovaries and would need an urgent operation. After discussion with her I asked the subconscious mind to assist, what would be the best avenue to go down. That night I had a dream about physic surgery. I woke up and look up the information on the internet. I have an open mind to these things, so I suggested to her that this would be the best path to go down at this time. She is living in Hong Kong and on her lunch break she decided to phone the healer in the Phillipines.

She was having a bit of trouble contacting him and asked for a sign to see if this would be correct for her. She then looked at the window as he answered the phone and she saw a huge display billboard been towed by a car saying - BAGIO FURNITURE. Now this is a small town in the Phillipines where this person lives. She told her boyfriend about this and said I literally saw a sign.

He then joked and said maybe if I ask for a sign it will appear. So the crossed the road and what comes around the corner but the same sign being towed behind a car - saying BAGIO FURNITURE.

She phones me to tell me she had a sign and then I said, OK i now want a sign. So I left home for an appointment with someone and was waiting in the reception and picked up a magazine and there was an article on this guy on the very page I opened it at. Then the radio was on and the radio said, cheap holidays in the Phillipines currently on sale. I go into the doctor and the doctor starts talking about the Phillipines.

Just one example of subconscious trying to contact us to tell us the best course to take.

Now, is the subconscious (HIGHER SELF) ourselves in the future, telling us something, arranging things for us or for the best possible outcome? Our High Self helps guide us through life and also helps us identify our Soul's purpose in this life and how to achieve it.

My High Self communicates with me by giving me physical and emotional feelings and knowing, by sending me messages, by dreams and some pictures. It is just taking the time to recognize them and act upon them.

every little intuitive nudge we resopnd to makes the connection stronger.

yes, this occurs no just as a result, but actually is part of the process itself of awakening

Winning the lottery has a negative effect on long- term prosperity in 75% of the cases.
It's to do with it being a windfall ....an unexpected event for which no real preparation exists other than the expectation of the thrill. So when it happens people's emotions go haywire...
In the end there is more trauma than lesson.
To bring this back to topic, miracles and synchronicities are like a windfall lottery win on the path of spiritual quest.
And here, equally, is a similar danger, as some are struck with awe and others with disbelief...
Both can cause divisions inside families...

Ulli, could you please elaborate? Im not sure I fully understand your comment...

[Pathosology]

Talk about synchronicity! I was perusing a thread, when I decided to go back to Today's Posts tosee what everyone else is talking about. Half a second before I hit the button, I very loudly, and very quickly thought to myself maybe I should pick and older thread, perhaps the Charles Material...no! I will read the Inelia Thread. There I should find some useful insight to begin the day... I kid not- once the thought had passed, Today's Posts page loaded, and I'll give you one guess as to what the very top listed thread was...wait for it.... The Inelia Thread! It's almost like it's too easy, how them more I pay attention and respond, the more it happens. Such fun, too. Suddenly, I don't feel quite as blind.

It can do....my friend was congratulating another mutual friend on his 5 number lottery win and thought to himself...'you know what...I'd like to win the lottery and not have to drag myself to work every day' he put a quid on the lottery that afternoon and got 6 numbers!!! He's now my only millionaire friend......he still goes to work every day...but now works voluntary ....so he feels fulfilled ...there's hope for us all yet xxx

Ulli, could you please elaborate? Im not sure I fully understand your comment...

I was responding to Lord Sid's comment about lottery wins, and suddenly got this insight that both lottery wins as well as meaningful coincidences are like windfalls.
Google "windfall."
Someting unexpected.
One (lottery wins) happens at the 3 D level, the other (coincidences) at an interdimensional level.
And being a blessing, they initially have a strong emotional effect on the receiver, which in turn can cause a shift in the larger group, by alienating the person from some members of their community, while others, who have had similar experiences, may feel a sense of unity.
Just musing.

[Revere]

Hello,
Ulli,

I loved the Revere story! I have seen numerous depictions of the ride over the years with the Moon included in the picture. I guess many noticed the two events coinciding back in the day as well. That perception is also very interesting and says a lot about how we were possibly more in touch with the natural cycles when technology played a smaller role in our lives.

I have noticed synchronicity expanding in my life and in many others who are not as awake to the same subjects as the average Avalon or Camelot viewer. In churches for example people are noticing and mentioning it as well. I also hear from many such people that they feel something big is on the horizon. It all seems to be very connected in a way. We are living in very interesting times. Let's Intend them to be very good times!


Peace,

The important thing is to think about synchronicities, to talk about them, to share experiences.

That's what makes them happen even more.
That's why this thread is so important, to show this principle at work.

When thinking and talking about disasters it increases disasters.

Better to talk about synchronicities than disasters, I say.

[PurpleLama]

I agree. In some places some people are expressing annoyance at all the love and light and fluffy stuff, preferring instead a more direct approach, presumably. But, the truth is it's needed that there are those who will fight physical fights, those who will fight the psychological fight, and also those who stand in the righteous light and ensure that light shines so that the secrets are shown and that which loves darkness will not overwhelm those who will stand for what's right, regardless of the particular form our stance may take. I for one will willfully intend that we see the magic of creation, the joyful synchronicities, until the negativity is eclipsed fully by positivity. But such isn't to say that we shouldn't take a more, shall I say, proactive approach should the time come for a more physical statement.

[KiwiElf]

Coincidences are unpredictable, improbable and illogical. So why do they happen at all, and, even more puzzling, why do they come in seemingly meaningful clusters in life?

A synchronistic event is irrational and illogical, as if the stuff of dreams has suddenly stepped over the boundary of three-dimensional reality and gripped us in full waking consciousness. Synchronicity is a set of those coincidences that are connected, not by logic, but by meaning. (Co-related, meaningful incidents). Such meaningful coincidences happen to us all at some time in life.

An example: There was a case of a woman who dreamed about death on a particular night. Taking little notice of her dream, she spent the next morning shopping and bought a new dress in her favourite colour, blue, arranging for it to be delivered to her home. By mistake, the store delivered a black dress, and shortly after this the woman learned that a near relative had died that day. A series of coincidences such as this can be very disconcerting: a death dream, a black dress and a real death within the space of 24-hours. There is an appearance of design, or meaning. Is this set of events really just a coincidence?

Synchronicity adds new perspectives to old ideas. For example, the idea of control is depicted as allowance rather than force. Cause and effect is expressed as focusing on the desired effect and allowing synchronistic events to create the cause.

Newtonian physics describes the Law of Cause and Effect as, "action and reaction, nothing is lost in the exchange, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Synchronicity allows for the possibility of corresponding events, actions and reactions instead of just "opposite" reactions. This also accounts for "chaos theory," which in itself, is synchronicity.

Dr Carl Jung, who invented the term "synchronicity", claimed that these occurrences were not just clusters of random events but that synchronistic events are really connected in a way that differs from the usual pattern of cause and effect. He felt that certain things - events and situations - "like" to occur with certain other things, and in this he found himself in agreement with classical Chinese philosophy, particularly the I Ching. This attitude of the Chinese enabled them to evolve, among other things, the theories of medicine that are now gaining recognition in the West. Chinese medicine was able to develop in its unique way because it evolved from a philosophy that did not seek causes but rather sought correspondences.

-----
Like the two sides of a single coin, the opposing principles of the cosmos are never far apart. Feast alternates with famine, night follows the day, and birth begins a life story that ends in death.

Traditional Chinese philosophy takes a somewhat abstract but holistic view of the universe envisioning all of its aspects in terms of two distinct forces called Yin and Yang. Sometimes referred to as the receptive and creative principles, or the passive and the active, Yin and Yang embody almost every conceivable duality, including synchronicity. Yin, for example, is linked to the ideas of femininity, darkness, night, valleys, and the directions west and north, while Yang represents the masculinity, light, daytime, mountains, east and south.

Despite the utter opposition between the two principles, however, good fortune (positive synchronicity), follows only when both the Yin and the Yang are present to the same degree, a state of cosmic balance as depicted in the Yin and Yang symbol.-----

The story of how Jung came to invent the term synchronicity is worthy of mention. He was analysing a female patient who had proved particularly resistant to treatment. Jung was the third analyst who had attempted her case, but felt that the chances of improvement were slender because of the patient's uncooperative attitude.

On a certain day in the mid-1920s, during a psychotherapy session, the patient related to Jung a dream she had involving a golden scarab. As she spoke, Jung sat with his back to the closed window until he heard a gentle tapping behind him. Turning, he saw a flying insect knocking against the glass outside. He opened the window and caught the creature as it flew in.

Strangely, it was a scarabaeid beetle, the Cetonia Aurata, the nearest relative of the scarab to be found in the area. Jung was disconcerted, but the impact of this meaningful coincidence upon his patient was even more surprising. The shock of this synchronistic event broke through her previous attitude and she began at last to respond positively to psychotherapy. Incidentally, the scarab is a classic example of a rebirth symbol, as Jung noted with satisfaction.

Within a wider framework, synchronicity seems to have been at work often in the history of science, for there are numerous examples of simultaneous invention or discovery. Perhaps the most famous case is that of Darwin and his theory of the origin of the species. Darwin had developed his theory in a lengthy essay and in 1884 engaged upon expanding it into a major treatise. During this time he received a manuscript from a young biologist named A. R. Wallace, who was quite unknown to him and who was then in the Molucca Islands of the Malay Archipelago. Wallace's manuscript was a shorter but otherwise parallel exposition of Darwin's theory.

Wallace knew of Darwin as a naturalist but had not the slightest idea of the kind of theoretical work in which Darwin was engaged. Each scientist, moreover, had initially conceived of the hypothesis in an intuitive flash.

Until relatively recently, it was assumed that the mutation of species happened at random and that a process of natural selection occurred, causing the well adapted varieties to survive and the rest to disappear. Modern evolutionists, however, point out that the selections of such mutations by pure chance would take much longer than the known age of our planet allows.

Moreover, though some mutations can be seen as an adaption to a change in the environment, members of the same species simultaneously mutate in the same way although they are far removed from those who have an environmental cause. This phenomenon is difficult to explain, but is easily described as a synchronistic occurrence.

The difficulty in accepting synchronicity as valid is largely due to the dominantly conditioned left-brain structure of the Western mind. Steeped in ideas derived from Newtonian physics that depend on the framework of cause and effect, the Western mind finds it difficult to give credence to other frames of reference. The concept of synchronicity challenges our ideas and beliefs of causality, (ie, that causes and effects are logically connected), and of linear time (in that the cause always seems to precede the effect). This is not always so.

This difficulty is not insurmountable, as observers of the frontiers of science know. The nature of our civilisation forces us to use the left hemisphere of our brains predominantly, and to neglect the full usage of our right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is involved with analytic, logical thinking. It breaks down the flow of events in our lives into series lists that can then be analysed, studied and manipulated. Thus the left hemisphere organises our reality into sequences, giving us the impressions of cause and effect, logic and linear time. These concepts allow us to lead highly organised lives, but they are not absolute concepts: they are useful but they are not necessarily true ideas of reality.

The right hemisphere of the brain is more likely to condone synchronicity. It is concerned with creativity; relationships and patterns and we use it for our orientation in space, art and crafts, body image and recognition of faces. Rather than perceiving sequences, it has a simultaneous mode of operation and is therefore responsible for intuition.

This hemisphere does not need or use linear time, and since it is the side of the brain that functions during dreams, the dream events are fluid, so that many people find that when they wish to recount a dream they have difficulty deciding in what order the events took place. Since synchronicity is a pattern of events not seemingly subject to logic or time, it is at home in the realm of the right hemisphere, the "creative" side of the brain.

Since the consciousness of time supplied by the left hemisphere is but one possible construction, and since our notion of cause and effect depends upon it for its validity, it is possible that synchronicity does have an external reality, although outside our usual world-view. It belongs in the realm of the paranormal, if we equate "normal" with the picture of "reality" provided by the left hemisphere.

Is it possible to reconcile synchronicity within a scientific framework? Certainly not within the domain of Newtonian physics, which postulates a three-dimensional reality that moves forward through time so that events develop in an ordered linear sequence, having a past, present and future, in that order. From this perspective synchronicity is a random element to be ignored.

Although our civilisation is built largely upon this viewpoint, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity says that it is preferable, and more useful, to think with a static, non-moving picture of space and time, which is known as the time-space continuum. Within this framework events do not develop, they just "are."

This is difficult to comprehend, but it simply means that everything that now seems to unfold before us with the passing of time, already exists in "totality." In other words, everything is one thing. It is only because our viewpoint is limited that we are unable to perceive the past, present and future with a glance. In such a four-dimensional world, which is our natural subconscious state (when we dream for example), there is room for synchronicity, for this world view is composed of spatial relationships instead of ordered series. And synchronicity is composed of events that are spatially related and not within a logical sequence.

The experience of synchronicity, however, is often a very personal one, as in the case of the woman who had the black dress delivered to her. Its occurrence seems to suggest a meaningful message of some type. Synchronicity is therefore real and valid for the impact it makes upon the individual having a synchronistic experience and Jung recognised this. Although it was difficult to explain in logical terms, he could not afford to ignore it.

Thus he coined the term synchronicity and allowed it a place in his psychology. Whether synchronicity exists in the objective world or not, it is easily perceived by the human mind when it happens.

Jungian psychology is sympathetic to the right hemisphere mode of perception and attempts to help correct the balance between the two hemispheres that is missing within our society. Jung hypothesised that there exists a collective unconscious to which all individual human minds are connected. The task of each person, according to Jung, is to "individuate" in a process of personal growth integrating all the diverse parts of the individual's nature into a harmonious whole called the "Self."

He saw synchronistic events as the attempts of the unrealised or subconscious self, in its urge to become conscious to offer messages to the individual. The Self is able to tap the resources of the collective unconscious to bring the desired message about. In the case of the woman with the black dress delivery, the message could be interpreted that the time had come for her to come to terms with the issue of death, so that she evolves greater understanding of her own human potential.

To support his theory, Jung pointed out that throughout the world, cultures isolated from each other in space and/or time have all developed mythologies which contain the same basic motifs or themes. This is in itself an example of synchronicity, but Jung thought that the reason was that these cultures all drew their material from the same source: the collective unconscious.

The concept of a collective unconscious is interesting in its implications. The instance of Darwin and Wallace simultaneously intuiting the same hypothesis can be explained by it, in that the idea was already present in the collective unconscious and Darwin and Wallace each tapped it at its "source" (what David Wilcock and others more recently refer to as the "Source Field").

If we extend the concept to the whole of the animal kingdom, it could explain the simultaneous mutations of isolated groups of the same species. The physicist Wolfgang Pauli suggested that our idea of evolution should take into account the idea of interrelation between the unconscious mind and biological processes. If all minds are linked to the collective unconscious, it could be that all the material needed for the unfolding of Earth's evolution is contained therein. Thus creating mutations of species at specific times and dropping ideas into human consciousness to cause the next phase in the development of civilisation. In this light synchronicity may be seen as the tool of a cosmic design - the blueprint for the planet as it steadily reveals itself.

It's a reassuring idea at the planetary level but when applied to the fate of the human individual, it is less pleasing.

The belief that we are free to make our own decisions is undermined by the possibility that the unconscious parts of our minds (to which most of us do not yet have direct access), are being continually influenced by the collective unconscious, which can shape external events to its own scheme for each of us, and which sends us its messages in the shape of synchronicity.

The collective unconscious is no more than a theory at the moment, but only from the one point of view that it is difficult to "prove" by rational, Newtonian logic however, and perhaps raises more questions than it answers. From another perspective, researchers working in the field of the paranormal claim that synchronicity is actually caused by psi processes. It has been suggested that people continuously scan their environment using their psi or ESP faculty, and are able to consciously or unconsciously bring about synchronicities with the information obtained.

Since these events are supposedly outside the limits of the person's conscious control, they can be either "good" or "bad," but nonetheless, say the propounders of this theory, we ourselves cause synchronicity to take place.

This brings to mind an interesting question: could we bring these processes under our conscious control? If so, we could cause synchronicity whenever we wished, presumably for our own benefit. So, like a jigsaw puzzle, the reality is that everything is one thing, each piece infinitely interconnected to the whole; there are no "accidents," and everything does happen for a reason.

Practitioners of occultism claim that this can be done, but, like any new concept, it takes dedicated application - action - to the task, 100% trust, and patience. The first step is to simply accept and be aware of the idea of synchronicity itself. Then apply the rule "know yourself", which involves total understanding of one's own mind and body, including accepting the idea that the "conscious" and "unconscious" mind are one and the same. It sounds a rather impossible task, but it does have much in common with Jung's individuation process. Students in this field claim that synchronicities occur to them with greater frequency when they are attempting to make contact with the unconscious part of their minds.

Synchronicity is at work too if Tarot cards and other systems of divination such as runes, and I Ching, are effective. If the pattern of Tarot cards does coincide with the state of the person consulting them, it is then a meaningful coincidence. This activity belongs, of course, to the right-hemisphere frame of perception, being dependent upon patterns and interrelationships between the cards. Interestingly, Jung saw the Tarot cards as pictorial representations of the forces that live in the collective unconscious.

Despite the views of psychologists, psi researchers and occultists, there is no "scientific" acceptance of synchronicity as a "real" phenomenon. Coincidence belongs in the realm of probability theory that predicts that randomly spaced events are more likely to concentrate in clusters than to occur at evenly spaced intervals. Scientists go on to explain that we pay more attention to events that coincide than those which do not, and those events that concern us personally have a greater subjective impact. They point out that our minds tend to create patterns out of random elements (the influence of the right hemisphere). On these grounds most scientists dismiss synchronicity (of course)!

From a conventional and left-hemisphere point of view, this argument is fair as far as it goes. But it says nothing about why randomly spaced events occur in clusters (which in itself comes into the field of synchronicity), and it also assumes that the mode of perception of the left brain hemisphere is superior to that of the right hemisphere (which it is not - it is just used more through past conditioning starting in early childhood). If both hemispheres were granted equal validity, synchronicity would not be dismissed so easily. As the left brain oriented (three dimensional) Newtonian scientific world view is replaced by the right brain, (four dimensional) Einstein model of the space-time continuum, this may become the accepted frame of reference in our everyday life.

Then synchronicity will have a more accepted place in our lives. The point then will not be why it happens, but rather that since it does happen, what can we do with it and how do we use it?

I think synchronicity is more like communication...FROM something (God, universe, whatever) attempting to communicate with us...it's up to us then to figure out the message and take action (or not :P) based on the message.

This is the first time i come across someone with such a deep understanding of synchronicity on the fora i attend; Avalon, Divinecosmos and Bring4th. Since 1983 my life is a constant stream of synchronicities. Also i just thought of David Wilcock and the "Source Field".

And Locks, i see it rather as communication WITH our Higher Selves....

by Mark Holland and Allan Combs

http://www.amazon.com/Synchronicity-Through-Eyes-Science-Trickster/dp/1569245991#reader_1569245991

"I see it now", means that when we are in a state of direct experience the Reality of Everything becomes visible,
and that Reality is expressed by the law "As Above, So Below.
Focus on synchronicity, think about it, play with the concept mentally, be amazed by it...
and it will happen, again and again.
Makes life fun.

A lot of little things have been continuously happening to me. Here's what I mean:

About two weeks ago I was going to ask my mom (yeah, I'm 26 and still wringing my poor mothers pocket book dry haha) to buy a nootropic for me. I take a particular nootropic every day. I was explaining how it helps me in my work, and how it had other benefits like my guitar playing and especially my pool shooting - which I find odd, but neat.

After some discussion I began to feel silly asking her to buy these and I told her I'd buy them myself. I put it off for a few days, then the company sent me an email discount on my next purchase of that exact product. They offer other products, but the one particular product I use is the only one they had a short promotional sale for.

I asked her if she bought them (stimulating that email from them to me) and she said no, cause I said I would buy them. So that's funny, but not really too out of the ordinary. However what is kinda strange is their new marketing campaign demonstrated how it helps you to compete, like when shooting pool.
http://www.onnit.com/pool/

There were other things like this that were happening at the time and I thought that I should write about it here, on Avalon. I sorta put it off though.

A while later (I think last week, not sure) I was working on my truck. When I work on my truck these days, I set my phone in the shade and turn on Pandora so that I have a neat little radio so that I can listen to music while working on the truck.

I finished my particular task (installing exhaust pipe) and thought I earned a break and an iced tea. Before I went inside the house though, I checked out my hands to see how dirty they were. Sometimes I can get by with scrubbing them with a rag, especially when doing exhaust work because that isn't a greasy task (usually). Often though I need to wash my hands before going inside, or it will look like BP had been drilling for oil in the house.

As I was doing this, Sympathy For The Devil was playing on my Pandora radio. It's randomized, I didn't put it on there. And it was on my CCR radio station.

At the very second I looked at my hands the lyrics "washed his hands and sealed his fate" played. No big deal, but stay with me.

Then Fred created a Sympathy For The Devil thread. Again, no big deal.

Then just yesterday, I was somewhat randomly linked to that thread. The link contained a bit of info regarding light research I was doing that day. When I say 'light' I mean the visible electromagnetic spectrum.

So why do I get weirded out by the constant Sympathy For The Devil references? My sig has always been the same, which are lyrics from that song.

I'm just using this as an example because it's the most recent series of events that has been happening to me. Circumstances such as this seem to be happening to me at an accelerated rate lately.


-------------

So here's where I look at it from a practical standpoint. I have noticed a phenomenon where it's not uncommon to talk about a particular TV show episode, and it will come on the next day. The odds of that seem freakishly rare, but it happens to myself, and lots (kind of assuming 'lots' but I've heard several reports) of other people.

The other thing was a bit of an experiment: People often report looking at the clock and seeing 33 all the time. Ya know, 1:33/7:33/4:33, whatever. So I did an experiment where I would make a mental note every time I checked the clock and saw 4:20 (haha, why not). It happens a lot, just never noticed.

So what are your thoughts? Am I being nudged in a direction, or am I reading too far into things?

[Cartomancer]

Here's a totally freaky one for you. A few months ago I was listening to the radio while I was doing some research online. I was checking out a page about Cornelius Agrippa. This man invented a form of geomancy and is famous for his black dog that he considered his 'familiar' or spirit guide. Just as I was getting into the article I was reading the song 'Black Dog' by Led Zeppelin came on the radio! The song is actually about Agrippa's dog. This is where the 'Son of Sam' got the concept that he was talking to his dog as well. This freaked me out in a big way.

I am kind of a skeptic too but somethings just can't be explained away so easily. Its a synchromystic world out there.

Nice thread mate,

Well, life is weird. Period.

Some of these coincidences are in your head, you know, if your subconscious is focused on something you´ll see this thing everywhere indeed.

Some other coincidences are just weird.

The fact is there´s no way to distinguish between them, I mean, the ones which are just in your mind and the ones who simply just happen.

Talking about coincidences, I wrote a song a few years ago about a guy who´s constantly searching for the love of his life on pubs, bars and these kind of places; then, when he gives up the search, he finds his love in a bakery.

Guess what? I met my fiancée in a bakery...

So, life is weird...

Raf.

Life is totally freaky! Dots sort of join up ...oh....oh.......oh!:lol:

[Tarka the Duck]

How about this one? I don't look for co-incidences and if they happen, that's great but I don't tend to read anything of significance into them...but this one is a goody...:cool:

In the UK, your car has to have an annual safety check, called an MOT: without it, your insurance is invalid and your car shouldn't be on the road. On Monday I suddenly had a vague feeling that our MOT might have expired and eventually I got round to digging out the paperwork to check. And yet, it had expired 3 months ago...:eek: Needless to say, we've been driving up and down the length and breadth of our little island in the meantime...

So, horror-struck, I rang the garage and booked it in for its MOT on Wednesday. We washed it, cleaned up the inside and decided to give it a treat - it had lost 2 hub caps months ago and was looking a little shabby (well, it is 16 years old, bless it) - and so we headed off to the local car supermarket place a few miles away.

Just a few minutes from our destination, Tony suddenly made a strange, strangulated sound and gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles showed white. On our tail was...a police car :doh: We just had time to have a quick debate about whether, if stopped, we should lie or come clean in the old time-honoured fashion of "It's a fair cop guv" before the blue lights flashed and he pulled us over! What are the chances, eh?

After biting our tongues throughout the inevitable "Is this your vehicle?" and "Are you aware...?" and "It is within my powers..." I leapt in with an excruciatingly ever-so-'umble explanation that, being a woman of a certain age, I had quite simply forgotten to remember....

And he smiled and let us go, if we promised to go straight home, without passing GO and collecting £50, and not venture out until the morning of our appointment at the garage.

Lucky or Wot? :peace:

yesterday my husband was working in Toronto, which is where we grew up but about an hour and a half from home now.........during the day he had a flash of an experience when he was 12 years old of being part of an art show and some woman made a derogatory remark behind him ( not about him but as a kid it stuck in his head) .....anyway he was thinking how he was sitting in a little park drawing a particularly well known house that is now part of the Art Gallery of Ontario.......hours later he was being driven home by the fellow he was working with and parts of the highway had fallen onto the road below so the road was closed and they had to take a detour......next thing you know they are passing the park where he sat over 40 years ago and he looks out the window at the very house he was drawing back then.......he had no idea why that day from 42 years ago came to him earlier but that was pretty 'coincidental' ???

but as Abraham Hicks says and I believe it.....There ARE no Coincidences ! So what does it mean?

[Alex Laker]

Sometimes, if I learn a new word, or come across a particularly unusual word in a book or in conversation it suddenly starts to appear everywhere. I become very conscious that I am seeing this word more often than should be ordinary... Perhaps like this TV show phenomenon you speak of, it is a clue to how consciousness really works, and that actually we have the power to affect the universe on a subconscious level. Of course, I wonder where did the idea come from in the first place. What if our consciousness and the universe are actually part of the same generic feedback mechanism?

Question: Do we simply invent ideas in the spur of the moment, even subconsciously, only to have the universe reflect them back at us minutes, hours, days, months and years later? Does this lead us to believe that ideas can be created independently of ourselves, when really they cannot be?

"There are no accidents in God's universe... or in our lives"

WHAT IS SYNCHRONICITY?

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. In order to be synchronous, the events should be unlikely to occur together by random chance


This is one of many universal laws or truths that can never be proven for sure. And yet, there are far too many stories about people who have had mysterious forces miraculously enter or guide their lives when they least expected it. If we really look at it closely, coincidences in our lives are far too common. As they begin to accumulate over the years, our minds begin to open to new possibilities. That maybe, just maybe, they are more than random happenings.

What is a synchronous event? It's an experience or circumstance that comes into our life when we least expect it to happen. What sets these mysterious happenings apart is that they are always unplanned and unexpected. A blind date that leads to life partnership, an unexpected phone call that pulls us away from tragedy, a job opportunity that suddenly opens, a gift of money when we need it most, a dream that turns out to be true, an unexpected admissions to a college we never thought would happen, are just a few examples.

These happenings can occur on a large, medium or small scale. I like to think of the large ones as events, which have a major impact on our lives. This can be a long-term relationship with someone, a crippling accident that leads to a life-time challenge, an unexpected book from a friend that opens up a life-changing spiritual quest for us, and so on.

The medium synchronous events are more for course corrections that lead us to the major ones or help the major ones unfold smoothly and successfully. For example, an unexpected salary bonus (medium) that allows us to take a vacation (medium) during which we find a lifetime partner (major), or a new business venture, (major) or
decide to change jobs and move to another part of the country (major), are a few examples. The small events are more for fine- tuning the whole process and are also very important.

Curiously, these unexpected gifts of guidance often drop in out of the universe to influence our thoughts or impact the direction that our lives may take when we least expect them. Whenever this happens, our free will is never violated in the process. While in body, we always have the choice to react to these events, regardless of size, the way we want to.

Where do these events come from? How do they happen? Why do they happen? Do they have a purpose? What is the force that makes them happen?

- Nothing happens by accident in God's universe or our lives.

- Thus, there is no such thing as a coincidence.

- Prior to coming to this planet we create a life-plan.

- That plan is made with free will. Nobody forces it on us.

- Our life-plan is made after we review our previous lives and experiences.

- The more evolved we are the more our life-plan centres around spiritual growth and service to others.

- We may want to learn patience, forgiveness, compassion, during our next life.

- Or we may want to experience being blind, poor, rich, etc.

- Our guardian angels/sprit guides know our plan.

- Synchronous events often come when we least expect them.

- That's what makes them synchronous.

- When an unexpected event occurs, we still react to each with free will.

- It is also possible to overrule parts or all of our plan while on Earth.

- However, overruling our original plan is not the wisest choice. It creates confusion in our lives.

- Certain events will occur in our lives when we planned for them to happen.

- While in body we are constantly making choices and creating our reality.

- This too is done with free will.

- And yet, there is "something" going on in the background of life.

- This something provides the guidance we need for our plan to unfold.

- This influence is happening at a higher level and for good purpose

- That purpose is to keep us on course as it relates to our earthly plan.

- Another purpose is to provide us ongoing guidance in our lives.

- Many events also make us happy such as finding past-lifetime friends.

- If we ask Spirit (and our angels) for guidance, the help is sure to come.

- We need to learn how to listen for and to the guidance.

- Pay special attention to any event or clue that happens three or more times.

- Look for patterns and repeated themes within the event(s).

- Often times the messages we receive are symbolic and we need to decipher them.

- If things fall into place, as if by magic, most likely you're on the right path.

- If you meet resistance or dead-ends, reconsider the choice you have made.

Here's a simple way to look at past events that have mysteriously come into your life as unplanned or unexpected experiences. These events may have been based upon some form of guidance such as a strong hunch, a powerful or compelling thought that came into your mind, a voice that spoke to you, a dream that you had, a synchronous event, and so on.

Draw a line across a piece of paper. This is your life time-line. Let's say it represents the past 20 years of your life. Go to the beginning (to the left of the line). Put a mark through the line and an event underneath the mark that had a major impact on your life or the direction it took. And, most importantly, came about unexpectedly, without your planning it. Do this until you reach current time. Then think about how it all came to be.

A hypothetical time-line might be...

- you are suffering from an unrewarding and abusive marriage (1990)

- you get divorced (1991)

- you lose your job (1991)

- you are in major crisis (1991)

- everything you do to try to find a new job doesn't work out (guidance can often be through negative experiences and events)

Then...

- a book given to you by a friend leads to a radical spiritual awakening (1992)

- unexpectedly an old friend calls, a wonderful job opens in Arizona (1993)

- you interview for job, it goes well and you are hired (1993)

- you move to Arizona (1993)

- everything goes smoothly for you (guidance that you are on the right path)

Then...

- a blind date in Arizona leads to a fulfilling relationship and life-time partnership (1994)

- and so on

When we reflect on the unexpected events and guidance that comes into our lives on a regular basis, these kinds of divine, mysterious experiences should truly make us think and wonder what's behind them.

One can take this simple exercise a bit further by isolating one of the major events in your life and then reconstructing the medium and minor events that helped the major one fall into place and unfold smoothly.

Whenever we ask Spirit or our angels for guidance in our lives, whether it has to do with a relationship, a job, a failing marriage, sickness, etc. the answer will come. That is guaranteed.

Look for clues, patterns and things that seem to materialize out of nowhere, but are related to your question. Look for messages that are symbolic, or the words of a song that pop up after asking God or your angels a question. Watch out for an unexpected phone call, finding an old letter or picture, actually hearing a voice in your head, a dream that is related to your question, a vision that appears in your head while meditating, are a few examples. Be alert for medium or major synchronous events that unexpectedly unfold.

Always keep in mind that, when things go smoothly and fall into place, you have most likely made the right choice and the right event has come into your life. When our decisions or efforts run into resistance or roadblocks, seriously re-examine the choices you have made or the false alarm, guiding event that has come into your life. Correct guidance is always loving and has our best interests in mind. The wrong guidance generally arouses feelings of fear or guilt.

Hopefully, all of this makes you think and wonder about these magnificent ways that not only guide and influence our lives, but also help us understand our life-plan.

We are never left alone. Never."

Good morning avalonians!
This is my first post here on this forum. I have only been a member for a short while but i had a strange conincedense signing up here that I was wondering if anyone else had.
A few weeks ago after watching many of Bill and Kerry's interviews, on camelot and avalon i decided to check out this website after hearing a lot about it.


The day i typed in the web address to my phone browser I was drawn to the vast amount of knowledge and understanding of the people and energy present here.
Although when i arrived home i found my house some what broken into: the front door was wide open with the deadlock "locked"
The door however was closed so my animals did not escape but the tv had been turned on. I also had the feeling someone had been there but nothing was missing (not that anything i own has real dollar value)
I did not think Much of this as all my lofe i have felt different presence around my that i write off in my own mind as "ghosts"
I should also mention that no one was home as 2 of my 4 housemates were on holiday due back that day.

A week later i signed up and filled out the application ad was excepted a few days later.
The day i was "accepted" a man came to my house in a white van with no company markings or anything. The man had all my details, all house matemates details and contact numbers and everything. He claimed to be there to install blinds (which were already brand new) We had heard nothig of this from our landlord or real estate agent and I have recently checked with them and they said they havent given out any details and dont have any idea how this "blinds man" has come to have them.
After a short discussion about What was going on he made a phone call and moved onto the "right address" a few houses up the road.
It wasnt really unti i thought about it and discussed it with some people that i became aware of the timing and conincedence of what i was researching and these strange events.
It hasnt hindered me in my research nor will it stop me from coming here and taking part in discussions an such. I am merely wondering if it has happened to anyone else here.
And if it has maybe its something we all should be aware of.

I look forward to being a part of everything going on here on this page and i will talk to you all soon

Cheers

No, but phone has been echoing woth someone on the line. I was talking to a relative about it and we went on to go into the wonderful days of menopause, hot flashes and cramping for at least 20 minutes until they got off. PS, I don't suffer anymore but it was fun to remember loudly in the little snoopers earphone or headset.

[Xeron]

I might try that! I have also heard echoing on the phone lines, usually its at the start of a call and it evens out after a while. Never really thought much of it, because i never talk on the phone much (family traight of males in my family... We all hate telephones) so i keep phone calls breif but i am always in lengthy text message conversations...

I am sure its all just happenstance

Andy Murray won Wimbledon in London on 7/7.
Same date and place as the London bombings, just different year.

He won the New York Grand slam in New York on 9/11.
Same date and place as the Twin Towers, different year.

He was in Dunblane school on 13/3/96 when the massacre actually happened.
http://the-tap.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/andy-murrays-career-marks-major.html

Andy Murray and his elder brother, Jamie, attended the Dunblane Primary Schhol. They were on their way to the school gymnasium and survived by hiding under a desk in the headmaster's office. http://aangirfan.blogspot.com.au/ (http://aangirfan.blogspot.com.au/)

On match fixing - comments from Andy Murray:

Andy Murray today sensationally claimed that tennis is "fixed" and that everyone on the professional circuit knows matches are being affected by gambling. He said: "It's pretty disappointing for all the players but everyone knows it goes on."

Novak Djokovic claimed he was offered a £110,000 bribe to lose a match.
Gilles Elseneer revealed that he was offered £70,000 to throw a match at Wimbledon
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-486550/There-match-fixing-tennis-says-British-No1-Murray.html#ixzz2YXuK5uiO

As an aside: He and the press are going on about how it's 77 years since a British win, just to rub in the 7/7 numbers a bit more. I guess Virginia Wade (UK) - Womens singles champion 1977 doesnt count?

I understand he is a Scot (living in Florida) Anything to do with the Scottish independance ----- no surely not.

In 1883, Henry Ziegland dumped his longtime girlfriend. Heartbroken, she hanged herself. Her brother vowed to avenge her and hunted down Ziegland. When he finally found him, he aimed for his head and shot. Ziegland fell to the ground. The girl’s brother, believing he had exerted his vengeance, committed suicide with the same gun. Little did he know that Ziegland would survive, for the bullet had merely grazed his cheek and lodged itself in a nearby tree.

Several years later, Ziegland attempted to cut down that particular tree. He had the brilliant idea of using dynamite and the resulting explosion sent the dormant bullet right through his skull. It seems the bullet refused to miss its target.

In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe published The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. The novel includes the tale of four men stranded at sea after their ship sank. Desperate, the men kill and eat a cabin boy named Richard Parker.

Forty-six years later, a ship called Mignonette suffered the same fate. The four starving survivors killed and ate the cabin boy whose real name was -you guessed it- Richard Parker.

Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain was born in 1835, shortly after the appearance of Halley’s Comet. Later in life, he predicted he would die when the comet returned. In 1910, one day after Halley’s Comet appeared at its brightest, Mark Twain died of a heart attack. Perhaps Twain considered the comet a harbinger of death. If so, he had good reason. In 1222, as the comet passed near Earth, it appeared to be moving west. At the time, Genghis Khan was preparing for his invasion. Believing this was a sign, he also marched west, killing millions in the process.

September 20th, 1911. The RMS Olympic, White Star Line’s lead transatlantic ocean liner collides with a British warship called HMS Hawke. The Olympic suffers severe damage to its hull and nearly capsizes. Fortunately, no-one is seriously injured or killed.

Seven months later, the sinking of the Titanic would become one of the deadliest maritime disasters, claiming the lives of more than 1,500 people.

In the morning hours of November 21st, 1916, the White Star Line’s largest and latest Olympic class vessel, the HSMS Britannic was shook by an explosion. Fifty-five minutes later, it sank in the Mediterranean Sea. Thirty people lose their lives. It is unclear whether the explosion was caused by a torpedo or underwater mine.

What do all of these disasters on water have in common? Well, besides involving three out state of the art passenger ships belonging to the same shipping company? One stewardess/nurse was present on all of them when things went bad. She survived them all, leading some to believe she was an albatross.

All these 13 stories come from a book I have in front of me right now: Beyond Coincidence by Martin Plimmer and Brian King. In it, the Richard Parker story goes into overdrive; ending with this:

In the summer of 1993, my parents took in three Spanish language students. My father told them about Richard Parker one evening over supper. The television was on in the background. All conversation stopped when a local programme started talking about the remarkable story. Dad went on to break the silence by saying how weird coincidences always occur whenever Richard’s tale is mentioned. He told them about Edgar Allan Poe.
Two of the girls went white. “Look what I bought today”, said one. She reached into her bag and pulled out a copy of the Poe story. “So have I”, said the other firl. Both had gone shopping that day and independently bought the very same book containing the Richard Parker story. But I am only here to say that I was actually busy preparing a post about Mark Twain’s death… I shall post the link just as soon as I’m finished.

EDIT: Here is that comment, posted 5 minutes after this post.


Listening just now to Benjamin Fulford, who at 13 mins below talks about self-fulfilling prophecy, quoting the example of the mathematician who predicted that date of his death, and when that date came he was so scared he committed suicide. I don’t know who he is referring to, but we also have the story of the Roman emperor Domitian, warned long in advance by an astrologer, as told by Suetonius in The Twelve Caesars. He was murdered at the appointed time, notably because his servile attendants put the clocks forward to make him relax (whether or not this was with hostile intent is immaterial).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzEVxpR4G5Q


The day before he was killed he gave orders to have some apples which were offered him kept until the following day, and added: "If only I am spared to eat them"; then turning to his companions, he declared that on the following day the moon would be stained with blood in Aquarius, and that a deed would be done of which men would talk all over the world. At about midnight he was so terrified that he leaped from his bed. The next morning he conducted the trial of a soothsayer sent from Germany, who when consulted about the lightning strokes had foretold a change of rulers, and condemned him to death. While he was vigorously scratching a festered wart on his forehead, and had drawn blood, he said: "May this be all." Then he asked the time, and by pre-arrangement the sixth hour was announced to him, instead of the fifth, which he feared. Filled with joy at this, and believing all danger now past, he was hastening to the bath, when his chamberlain Parthenius changed his purpose by announcing that someone had called about a matter of great moment and would not be put off. Then he dismissed all his attendants and went to his bedroom, where he was slain.

Concerning the nature of the plot and the manner of his death, this is about all that became known. As the conspirators were deliberating when and how to attack him, whether at the bath or at dinner, Stephanus, Domitilla's66 steward, at the time under accusation for embezzlement, offered his aid and counsel. To avoid suspicion, he wrapped up his left arm in woollen bandages for some days, pretending that he had injured it, and concealed in them a dagger. Then pretending to betray a conspiracy and for that reason being given an audience, he stabbed the emperor in the groin as he was reading a paper which the assassin handed him, and stood in a state of amazement. As the wounded prince attempted to resist, he was slain with seven wounds by Clodianus, a subaltern, Maximus, a freedman of Parthenius, Satur, decurion of the chamberlains, and a gladiator from the imperial school. A boy who was engaged in his usual duty of attending to the Lares in the bedroom, and so was a witness of the murder, gave this additional information. He was bidden by Domitian, immediately after he was dealt the first blow, to hand him the dagger hidden under his pillow and to call the servants; but he found nothing at the head of the bed save the hilt, and besides all the doors were closed. Meanwhile the emperor grappled with Stephanus and bore him to the ground, where they struggled for a long time, Domitian trying now to wrest the dagger from his assailant's hands and now to gouge out his eyes with his lacerated fingers.
He was slain on the fourteenth day before the Kalends of October in the forty-fifth year of his age and the fifteenth of his reign [=18 September AD 96]. http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Suetonius/12Caesars/Domitian*.html

Then you also have the strange case of Mark Twain:

Mark Twain was born during one passage of Comet Halley and died at the age of 76 during its next passage in 1911. Somehow he knew this was going to happen. Maybe this is why he didn’t believe that story he once read in the newspaper: ‘the report of my death was an exaggeration’. This raises two questions: how would he know the time of his death from the time of his birth? And what astrological or other phenomenon was playing out here?

PS. This post also falls into the realm of coincidence. See http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?81025-13-Coincidences-that-Will-Really-Creep-you-Out&p=946527&viewfull=1#post946527

Nothing too dramatic to report here. My dad who was a builder had bought a workshop in 1971. I am named Stanley after my father. We were working in rebuilding the workshop after completely demolishing it. There was my dad, me and a labourer called Stanley and an apprentice also called Stanley working together one day. The premises was 2 Stanley Road. Can you believe it? There was only four people working there all named Stanley at 2 Stanley Road. A customer of my dad's passed by and hearing us all calling each other Stan commented "seems like you have to be called Stanley to get a job here". True story.

I have a weird family coincidence as well.

My Mom is 1 of 3 sisters.
My Dad is 1 of 3 brothers
My Moms mom died when she was a kid
My Dads dad died when he was a kid
My dad also died when I was a kid.
On my moms side the oldest sister died of cancer.
On my dads side the oldest brother (my dad) died of cancer.

Yann Martel was well aware of the Richard Parker coincidences. (Life of Pi") "So many victimized Richard Parkers had to mean something. My tiger found his name. He's a victim, too--or is he?"

The following is excerpted from Under A Sacred Sky: Essays on the Philosophy and Practice of Astrology, recently published by The Wessex Astrologer.


“Those who believe that the world of being is governed by luck or chance and that it depends upon material causes are far removed from the divine and from the notion of the One.” –Plotinus, Ennead VI.9



While preparing for his role in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, actor Frank Morgan decided against using the costume offered him by the studio for his role as the traveling salesman Professor Marvel, opting instead to select his own wardrobe for the part. Searching through the racks of second-hand clothes assembled over the years by the MGM wardrobe department, he finally settled on an old frock coat that eventually served as his costume during the movie’s filming. Passing the time one day, Morgan idly turned out the inside of the coat’s pocket only to discover the name “L. Frank Baum” sewn into the jacket’s lining. As later investigation confirmed, the jacket had originally been designed for the creator of the Oz story, L. Frank Baum, and made its way through the years into the collection of clothing on the MGM backlot.


Most of us have, at some point or another, experienced certain unusual coincidences so startling they compel us to wonder about their possible significance or purpose. Do these strange occurrences hold some deeper meaning for our lives? Or are they simply chance events, explainable through ordinary laws of probability, as most scientists claim?

Among those who wrestled with these questions was the famed Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. Having experienced many such uncanny events himself, he coined the term synchronicity to describe the phenomenon of “meaningful coincidence.” Whereas some coincidences were indeed without significance, he wrote, every so often there occurred confluences of circumstance so improbable they hinted at a deeper purpose or design in their unfolding. 1

To explain such phenomena, he theorized the existence of a principle in nature very different from that normally described by conventional physics. Whereas most visible phenomena in the world seem to be related in a cause-and-effect manner, like billiard balls bouncing into one another, synchronistic events appear to be “acausally” related, as though linked by an underlying pattern rather than by direct, linear forces.

For instance, the presence of Baum’s coat on the film wasn’t caused by the making of the film, nor did the appearance of the coat somehow cause the making of the film; they simply were dual expressions of the same unfolding matrix of meaning. Jung went on to postulate two primary kinds of acausal relationships: between two or more outer events in one’s life (as in the case of Frank Morgan), or between an outer event and an inner psychological state.

Since it was first published in 1952, Jung’s concept has increasingly filtered into popular culture, having found its way into the plot lines of TV shows, works of pop-fiction like The Celestine Prophecy, and the lyrics of rock groups like The Police. In more scholarly quarters, there have been attempts to shed light on this theory through classifying various types of coincidence, scrutinizing it in terms of statistical studies, or even explaining it through quantum physics.

The search continues. In a letter to the late Victor Mansfield, Jungian disciple Marie-Louise von Franz wrote towards the end of her life:


The work which has now to be done is to work out the concept of synchronicity. I don’t know the people who will continue it. They must exist, but I don’t know where they are. 2




The Symbolist Worldview


What, then, is that “broader perspective”?

It’s what I’ll here call the symbolist worldview – a perennial perspective espoused through the centuries by such diverse figures as Plotinus, Pythagoras, Jacob Boehme, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Cornelius Agrippa, to name just a few. For these and other figures, the world was seen as infused with meaning, as “saying” something. As the Swedish scientist and mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg wrote in Heaven and Hell, “There is a correspondence of all things of heaven with all things of man.” 3 The universe is a reflection of an underlying spiritual reality; all phenomena express the deeper ideas and principles of which they are a “signature,” and can therefore be deciphered for their subtler significance.

For the symbolist, all events and phenomena are seen as elements of a supremely ordered whole. Like the intricately arranged threads of a great novel or myth, the elements of daily experience are viewed as intimately interrelated, with no event out of place, no situation accidental. Consequently even a seemingly trivial occurrence can serve as an important key toward unlocking a greater pattern of meaning: the passage of a bird through the sky, the appearance of lightning at a critical moment, or the overhearing of a chance remark – such events are deemed significant because they’re perceived as interwoven within a greater tapestry of relationship.

Pervading the warp and weft of creation is a web of subtle connections sometimes known as correspondences. The American essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:


Secret analogies tie together the remotest parts of Nature, as the atmosphere of a summer morning is filled with innumerable gossamer threads running in every direction, revealed by the beams of the rising sun. 4

Using more contemporary terms, these correspondences could well be described as “acausal” connections, since they’re not based on mechanistic forces of cause-and-effect, like our proverbial billiard balls on the pool table, but on principles of analogy, metaphor, and symbolism.

For example, whereas scientists view the Moon as a material body with certain measurable properties, such as size, mineral composition, and orbital motion, among others, for the esotericist the Moon may also be related to such things as water, women, the home, food, and emotions, since these all linked through an underlying “lunar” archetype, or what might be called the principle of receptivity. Understanding the language of correspondences thus provides the esotericist with a skeleton key toward unlocking the hidden connections which unite the outer and inner worlds of our experience.

Since the advent of scientific rationality in the 17th and 18th centuries, the concept of correspondences has been dismissed by scientists as nothing more than an outmoded metaphysical fiction, comparable to a child’s belief in Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. Yet as soon becomes obvious to anyone studying astrology for any length of time, such correspondences are actually quite real and not merely the stuff of overactive imaginations.

Consequently, when the Moon is stressfully activated in a person’s horoscope, they may experience a rash of problems in their dealings with women, say; or when Jupiter crosses over their Venus, they might suddenly experience a run of good luck in matters involving romance or money – and so on. Ultimately, the horoscope provides a complex map of the symbolic correspondences that weave their way throughout a person’s life, in ways that are both testable and repeatable.



The Implications for Jung’s Synchronicity


So how does the symbolist perspective force us to rethink Jung’s synchronicity theory?

For one, in his formal writings on the subject Jung claimed that synchronicity was a “relatively rare” phenomenon. 5 But for the symbolist, coincidence is just the tip of a far greater iceberg of meaning, the most visible feature of a pervasive framework of design and relationships that undergirds all experience. In a sense, the entire world is a vast matrix of “acausal connections” extending to every aspect of one’s experience, from one’s body and thoughts to every event and object in the environment. Said another way, everything is a “coincidence,” insofar as everything co-incides!


Jung regarded the synchronistic event as an important “eruption of meaning” in our lives. But as divinatory systems like astrology demonstrate (and as I explore more fully in The Waking Dream 6), there are actually many eruptions of meaning in our lives besides the occasional and remarkable coincidence, many of them equally important – marriages, births, deaths, graduations, job changes, chance encounters, accidents, nightly dreams, and many others. All these and more are “synchronistic” insofar as they correspond in acausal and meaningful ways to other unfolding patterns in one’s life. 7 To borrow a phrase from William Irwin Thompson, we are like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, unaware of the complex archetypal drama spread out before us; what the infrequent and dramatic coincidence does is pull back the curtain for us on one small portion of that vast tableau of meaning.

For that reason, uncovering the truth of synchronicity won’t be had through scientific methodologies or by carefully studying individual coincidences, but only through a broader philosophical inquiry into the symbolic nature of existence itself. As a result, unlocking Jung’s “meaningful coincidence” may ultimately require a “unified field” theory of meaning that incorporates such diverse disciplines as sacred geometry, astrology, the theory of correspondences, chakric psychology, number theory, and a multi-leveled cosmology, to name just a few. Only within the broad framework offered by just such a Sacred Science can we hope to truly grasp the “whole elephant” of synchronicity, and not simply one of its appendages, as exemplified by the rare and dramatic coincidence.

And it’s against this broader backdrop that we begin to glimpse some of the broader questions raised by synchronistic phenomena, such as: What could possibly organize the phenomena of our world in so profound and meaningful a way as this? In his book A Sense of the Cosmos, author Jacob Needleman offers a possible clue to that question with this comment about the uncanny symmetry displayed throughout nature’s ecological web:


Whenever we have looked to a part for the sake of understanding the whole, we have eventually found that the part is a living component of the whole. In a universe without a visible center, biology presents a reality in which the existence of a center is everywhere implied. (emphasis mine) 8


Needleman’s comments here could be read as a useful analogy for understanding synchronicity, too. In order for the diverse events of our lives to be interwoven as intricately and artfully as synchronicity implies, and as systems like astrology empirically demonstrate, there would seem to be a regulating intelligence underlying our world, a central principle that organizes all of its elements like notes in a grand symphony of meaning. One needn’t think of this as involving a bearded, anthropomorphic deity on a heavenly throne somewhere, of course. As we saw at the opening of this article, the Neoplatonist writer Plotinus referred to this transcendent principle as simply “the One,” while the Buddhists speak of “Big Mind,” and the mystic geometers of old described a circle whose “center was everywhere but whose circumference was nowhere.”

Whatever labels or terms one chooses, the phenomenon of synchronicity hints at a coordinating agency of unimaginable scope and subtlety whereby all the coincidences and correspondences of the world coalesce as if threads in a grand design, and within which our lives are holoscopically nested. Seen in this way, the synchronistic event can be seen as affording us a passing sideways glance, as if through a glass darkly, into the mind of God.

At this point I thought : Sacred Geometry

Yeah that description has a higher dimensional feel about it imho

Looking to share an experience I had today and your thoughts.
Were he comes to meditation and visions I am very much a novice it's something I've only been doing nearly two months by myself with no training.I very much do and listen to what feels right.
What happened today was quite extraordinary.
For the first time on starting a 25 min meditation which is about my limit at this time.I asked for guidance and a vision of past lives from my guardian.
What came through towards the end was a moving picture of a colonial British solider in full uniform in great detail including such details as embossed brace buttons.this soldier was situated in a rocky terriain of sand and small rocks .he bent over and picked up and inspected I crudely made arrow but with a vicious arrow head made of metal barbed and serated.this lasted but moments but the detail was extraordinary.shortly after I finished the mediation and felt quite high.
What happened next is were I really could use some advice.not five seconds later my mum phoned up.so I explained what just happened.
She became excited and told me I had just seen my grandad in the army in his five year tour of India.I had no idea he had even Been there as he had died fifty years ago before I was born.this has and always will be a difficult thing for my mum to talk about as she still carries the scars of the lose but this got her so excited she opened up.she is digging into her archives and gathering the old documents and pictures for me to look at.
Could it be possible or just coincidence

[Foxie Loxie]

How wonderful!! Enjoy the old documents!

[Tyy1907]

I say just go with it! Give it a chance

[Sunny-side-up]

Nice samildamach
I would defiantly say More than coincidence :sun:

[Ernie Nemeth]

I don't think there is such a thing as co-incidence. Everything has a meaning.

[seah]

sure, it is possible. Extraordinary things happen during meditation for many people. Stay opened and consider all possibilities. Good luck with your journey.

[samildamach]

as a follow up to this post.
these are the pictures that my mum passed on.this is exactly and vividly were I was in my vision minus the banner.
I find this whole episode very humbling and exciting at the same time.got a large trunck to go through over easter ,wonder what else might be found.

[BMJ]

I am sorry I missed this thread from back in 2011, (so much to read and learn and so little time). Wow that is an amazing opening post Kiwielf and it raises more questions in relation to the related Synchronicities thread. It makes me wonder if for example:
When you have a new born say sea turtle do they have a knowledge which is encoded in their DNA or is it possibly derived from a collective subconscious that they need to get to the ocean to avoid being prey to seagulls? I mean the theory suggests evolution is a result in a species due a subconscious consensus, and so why could not the survival instincts be such a download of sorts to?

Is this mandela effect and synchronicities and other extra normal events actual our collective subsconscious trying to awaken the conscious mind to a broader sense of reality? An application of the idea of Jing and Yang and I cheng in a sense collective subsconsious trying to create balance between the use of both hemi spheres of the mind?
And also by extension a means of assisting in the deconstruction of our current paradigm and facilitating the co creation by humanity of a new paradigm?

So I also wonder does this also mean that the right hemisphere of the mind is a connection to not only the collective subconsicous but also by extension to love and the soul?

Sorry I might have gone off on a bit of tangent.

Great stuff Kiwielf, thank you again.

This is a creepy coincidence; the licence plate of the car, now in a museum in Vienna, in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were travelling in when they were assassinated in Sarajevo. This event has been said to have been the spark that led to World War One.

The plate is A111118.

11 11 18 - 11 November 1918, Armistice Day. Could the 'A' represent Armistice?

You can see this number on the plate in 1914 photos. Click to enlarge thumbnail.

[Michel Leclerc]

The word “coincidence” means “happening together”. To the Creator, or the Ultimate Computer Program if you prefer that metaphor, anything anywhere anywhen happens at the same time at the same place and in the same dimension. However, Creation’s program is made in such a way that the creatures themselves never notice this eternal, omnipresent and unique coincidence.
Occasionally however the Program has a glitch or the Creator a little distraction. That is when these strange things happen, but for the Creator Themselves it is just a coincidence.
