<\/a><\/p>\nDuring Rob\u2019s meditation class tonight, the final for this particular session, we did a shamanic meditation, with drumming. It\u2019s my personal favorite. There\u2019s something about the drumming that\u00a0\u00a0 transports your consciousness to\u2026.well, elsewhere. \u00a0He asked us to pose a question and find a guide during the meditation. My question was: \u00a0What is the third synchro book about? What\u2019s the hook?<\/p>\n
During the drumming, my inner vision suddenly opened up. It became a camera\u2019s lens and I was in the Southwest, maybe around Canyon de Chelly, where the red canyon walls are simply exquisite and the entire area speaks of all that is ancient on our planet.\u00a0\u00a0 I suddenly wished to be an artist who could capture these colors and the starkness of the geography on canvas, like Georgia O\u2019Keefe.<\/p>\n
Then the scene switched to what seemed to be a TV studio, with thick cables snaking across the floor of the studio, screens everywhere. I immediately thought of my favorite TV shows \u2013 Lost<\/em> and X-Files<\/em>, for instance \u2013 and wondered how the writers had come up with their initial ideas and then executed them, extended them over multiple seasons and episodes, keeping the characters and plots intriguing enough for viewers to tune in week after week, season after season.<\/p>\nIn my new favorite TV show, The Event<\/em>, the hook lies within the emotions among the characters \u2013 a group of aliens who look human, but whose DNA differs from humans by about one percent, and the humans who become involved with them.<\/p>\nThen I thought of the movie Rob and I had just seen \u2013 Source Code<\/em> \u2013 which plays brilliantly with the Many Worlds theory of quantum physics, but somehow manages to maintain intense emotional connections among the characters. So I had my answer. The next synchro book is about creativity and how synchronicity is intricate to the creative process.<\/p>\nBut what does it mean, really, to be creative? It\u2019s not just writing or painting or taking photos. \u00a0Creativity is \u00a0also expressed by the small child when she discovers that her legs actually have a function and eagerly crawls around exploring the boundaries of her world. It finds expression in the 80-year-old grandmother who creates elaborate collages from photos in the family album, or in the engineer who designs booster rockets. The teacher who triggers excitement and curiosity in his students is just as creative as the shaman who makes it rain or as the adventurer who climbs Kilimanjaro simply because it\u2019s there. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\nIn Western society, we tend to believe that creativity is the exclusive domain of the Lennons, Spielbergs, Rowlings, Kings, Picassos, Streeps, Ophrahs, Harrison Fords. We forget that we are all born creative, that if it weren\u2019t for creativity, we probably would still be living in caves. And at every step in our creative expression, synchronicity is there to guide us, inform us, and remind us that we are here to create and to do so joyfully. <\/em><\/p>\nSure, there have been plenty of dysfunctional creative people \u2013 Nicola Tesla, despite his brilliance and creativity, battled constantly against poverty and emotional pain. Van Gogh chopped off his own ear and never made a penny from his art. F Scott Fitzgerald drank himself into an early grave and Hemingway put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n
But for every creative misfit, there are many more individuals who have the creative equivalent of the Midas touch, a magical something that transforms the mundane, the utterly ordinary, into something unique. When we enter their homes or workplaces, that magic is evident everywhere, an ineffable quality that\u2019s hard to pin down. We immediately sense they are connected to something larger than themselves, that that have tapped into a creative flow that spills over into every area of their lives.<\/p>\n
One of our neighbors, for instance, can fix anything. A washing machine, a water heater, an AC unit, a plane\u2019s engine.\u00a0 Give him an engineering or mechanical challenge, he\u2019ll solve it. He doesn\u2019t even acknowledge that synchronicity exists, but he recognizes connections between inner and outer events.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s the Reiki healer who shifts energy around in the physical body, correcting whatever is wrong. Or the medium who connects with the departed and brings messages to the living that offer hope.<\/p>\n
Creative\u00a0 dreamers are able to glean information about the past, present and future through their dreams. In some instances,\u00a0 they appear to communicate with other dreamers of their ilk and may help to bring a new paradigm or belief system into being.<\/p>\n
Planetary empaths are so intimately connected to the magnetic fluctuations in the earth that they experience physical symptoms before a natural disaster occurs and are able to determined whether the disaster is an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or something else.<\/p>\n
Creativity is our birthright regardless of our culture, skin color, religious beliefs, the stuff that so often divides us. It is endemic to all life \u2013 plant, animal, human, other (visitors).\u00a0 It\u2019s the grease in the cogs, the driving force of life, the very thing\u00a0 that makes us what we are. And synchronicity is its voice.<\/p>\n
