So it&#8217;s good to re-focus on the subject at hand from time to time. We&#8217;ve done so here with a primer of sorts, about synchronicity. These paragraphs come from the introduction of our next synchro book, <em>THE SYNCHRONICITY HIGHWAY: Navigating the Signs and Symbols of Life&#8217;s Journey<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>Synchronicity or meaningful coincidence can be one of those delightful little surprises the universe springs on you just to keep you on your toes, aware and mindful. Other times, it slams into you out of the blue, a coincidence so startling that you marvel at the odds. It can be a trickster or an ally, clarify and confirm, guide or warn, laugh at you or with you.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who coined the term, first wrote about synchronicity in the introduction to Richard Wilhelm\u2019s translation of the <em>I Ching: The Chinese Book of Changes<\/em>, published in 1949. In that introduction, he talked about how tossing three coins six times, could yield one or two of 64 hexagrams that provide a response to a question that enlightens or guides the questioner. He defined the phenomenon as the coming together of similar inner and outer events in a way that can\u2019t be explained by cause and effect and is meaningful to the observer. In the case of a divination tool, such as the I Ching, the inner event is the question, the outer event is the toss of the coins and resulting hexagram.<\/p>\n<p>But of course synchronicity typically unfolds naturally without any tools. A simple example: you\u2019ve been thinking about a former friend, roommate, lover, someone you haven\u2019t heard from in years. You log onto Facebook and find a friend request from that individual. Or you\u2019re digging a grave for your cat that died, have the car radio on in the background, and Peter Gabriel\u2019s song, <em>Digging in the Dirt,<\/em> comes on. Or you dream about a stranger and the next day, that person enters your life.<\/p>\n<p>Jung lumped extra sensory perception under the broad umbrella of synchronicity. This stance is sometimes controversial. Some people feel that calling ESP an aspect of synchronicity suggests that accurate psychically obtained information is merely coincidental. But Jung was simply saying that telepathy, precognition, mediumship, clairvoyance and other psychic abilities work outside of cause or effect. In other words, if a psychic predicts that someone will receive a surprise sum of money and two days later, an unexpected check arrives in the mail, that\u2019s an example of precognition. But it also fits under synchronicity because cause and effect weren\u2019t involved. The psychic didn\u2019t tell anyone to send a check to the client. So an inner experience \u2013 the psychic\u2019s premonition&#8211; and an outer event \u2013 the receipt of a check \u2013 came together outside of cause and effect and no doubt it would be meaningful to the client who received the check.<\/p>\n<p>Synchronicity is an equal opportunity experience.\u00a0 Anyone, anywhere, at any time, can experience a meaningful coincidence. Your awareness and receptivity to the phenomenon creates an atmosphere in which you recognize synchronicities when they occur. It\u2019s likely that more occur when you\u2019re aware and accepting of these occurrences.<\/p>\n<p>There are also situations and environments where synchronicities flourish. They are threaded throughout mass events like natural and man-made disasters. They occur in travel and creative endeavors, in social movements and popular culture, and they even might proliferate during and after UFO encounters. When our lives are in transition and during intensely emotional periods, synchronicity is usually right there with us.<\/p>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>Happy Birthday, Rob!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes we drift a bit from synchronicity on the blog.
