Trish and all interested others…. The following is the context surrounding my first significant synchronicity plus the meaningful coincidence in detail. <\/p>\n

The Coincidence. While consciously asking myself the question if miracles might in fact be really real, I opened the Bible and randomly turned to the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead. I was struck by the story’s implications, reasoning that if the bible is the revelation of divinity communicated to mankind so that events like the rising of Lazarus might be literally true, then such phenomena as contacting \u201cdead\u201d spirits and personal spiritual guides at a s\u00e9ance, such as I had attended (initially judged to be as preposterous as it was seductive), might in fact be valid. <\/p>\n

Feeling excitedly agitated, I called D to share my experience. Responding to my apparent revelation, excitement, and reflections, she exclaimed: “How uncanny!\u201d for that very afternoon on a walk with L, her (unconventional) psychiatrist, had told her that in a previous lifetime he had been present at the raising of Lazarus. <\/p>\n

Upon hearing this amazing coincidental reference to the raising of Lazarus, being connected as it was to L, the remarkable psychiatrist; to D the unusually friendly woman; and the vision I saw at the extraordinary s\u00e9ance, I experienced an unexpected rush of awe combined with a felt sense of being in touch with an indefinable but highly significant shockingly good experience. (Jung would likely have named the sense of awe associated with this event as a numinosity.) Later I described my experience as being in touch with mysterious forces that, at that time, verified the possibility that so-called occult energies were apparently real and this meant that virtually anyone could access them at will. <\/p>\n

I then experienced a heightened split between a wide open-side of me that desperately wanted to believe in the actuality of a transcendent spiritual realm that was a source of and accessible to potentially vital information concerning myself; versus, a skeptical cynical side of me that scoffed at such activities as highly stimulating but patently “unscientific” indulgences in the realm of the supernatural. I wondered if I was dangerously playing around in what Freud (1910) was cautioning Jung to be wary of; namely, \u201cthe black tide of mud\u2026 occultism?\u201d<\/p>\n

For me at the time the whole experience had important philosophical, psychological, scientific, spiritual, and occult implications that ignited my passion to try to scientifically understand what Jung said was basically incomprehensible in rational terms. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
