\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In times of momentous transitions in our lives, synchronicities tend to occur with greater frequency. A marriage or divorce, the birth of a child, a drastic change in income, career, job, a move, the loss of loved ones: these large, transitional moments in our lives seem to attract synchronicity, perhaps as confirmation, affirmation, as a venue of hope and resurrection. Who knows? What we do know is that these kinds of synchros are invariably powerful and often life-changing.<\/p>\n

In recent discussions on Facebook in a synchronicity topic, there has been speculation that the phenomenon is a naturalistic event, something that unfolds from the personal unconscious, like a predilection for certain types of experiences, foods, relationships, addictions. In this particular belief system, synchronicity has nothing to do with the collective unconscious, Carl Jung\u2019s term for events and emotions and situations that are common to all people. In fact, in this worldview, the collective unconscious doesn\u2019t exist, and is simply a result of magical thinking \u2013 Jung\u2019s and yours!<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s go back to the basics, to the definition of synchronicity, according to Jung: the coming together of similar inner and outer events in a way that is meaningful to the observer, but can\u2019t be explained by cause and effect. \u00a0For example, I think about someone I haven’t talked to for months, my phone rings and it’s him.<\/p>\n

Jung first defined synchronicity in 1949, when he was writing the introduction to Richard Wilhelm\u2019s translation of the I Ching<\/em>, and asked the oracle\u2019s \u201cjudgment \u00a0about its present situation \u2013 i.e., my intention to present it to the Western mind.\u201d (For Jung\u2019s full explanation about this, read the intro to the Wilhelm edition of the I Ching<\/span>.)<\/p>\n

In researching synchronicity for \u00a0our first book, 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, <\/em>\u00a0we found a particular M.O. for the phenomenon, a pattern that extends well beyond just the personal and slides into the collective. The collective unconscious unnerves some people. It\u2019s the place of myths and fairy tales and urban legends; it\u2019s the territory that Joseph Campbell explored, the magic that Lucas and Spielberg have spun into films, that Stephen King and Dean Koontz bring to their novels. It\u2019s the place where we all meet and speculate about \u2026.well, what if. <\/em>It\u2019s the place where all the b.s. is stripped away and only story<\/em> exists. Your<\/em> story. My<\/em> story. Our<\/em> story.\u00a0 These areas where yours<\/em> and mine<\/em>\u00a0 <\/em>merge is the domain of synchronicity.<\/p>\n

Within that domain, I think that synchronicity speaks to us in a variety of ways and one of them is through spirit contact. When we lose someone we love, we\u2019re experiencing a major life transition. This sequence of synchros come from Gypsy,\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 who lost her older sister\u00a0 <\/a>in early December. We\u2019ve used her stories in both of our books. Now, from Gypsy\u2019s notes:<\/p>\n

+++<\/p>\n

For some time I had been considering doing a weekly Friday post on an ancestor of ours – \u201cvoices from the past\u201d giving some interesting little tidbit from their life. It was going to be a different one each week, one who had died on a particular date.<\/p>\n

The first post in the series was supposed to be for December 2 , the day I thought about this series. \u00a0During lunch time that day, I spoke by phone to my older sister, Jerelyn, for over an hour. Later, when I got home from running errands, I went to my ancestry site and searched for family members having died on December 2. It was then that I got a call and learned that Jerelyn had died.<\/p>\n

She passed away on \u201copening night\u201d of her theater production – literally within hours of the house opening. \u00a0The numbers themselves and the clusters involved in the date of her death\u00a0 were: 12022011 – [3] 2s and [3] 1s [= 9]<\/p>\n

On 12\/09 en route home, from Delaware to Louisiana, I thought about Jerelyn, her life and death, and asked mentally for a sign of some kind – any kind. Within moments, there was the large exit sign – exit 111.<\/a><\/p>\n

That same \u00a0day, within feet of crossing the Louisiana state line, the mileage on my car hit the 100,000 mark \u2013 literally.<\/p>\n

On 12\/12 [again the 2s and 1s], at 4:14pm [time #s = 9], I picked up Synchronicity and the Other Side<\/em> [the copy which I had gotten for her xmas gift] and asked the question, \u201cWhat about Jerelyn?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then I opened the book randomly – page 36 [again = 9] – \u00a0and, eyes closed, my finger landed on the 4th paragraph. This passage sets out my story of the girl in the yellow dress <\/a>at my house while Jerelyn was living with me and how she asked the construction workers if I had told them the story. Also on 12\/12, several hours after the incident above, my daughter, Lisa, sent me a text message.<\/p>\n

When the message came in, \u201d I was sitting with the book still open, this time on page 117 [again double 1s plus the total is 9] at this point: \u201cthe medium and the message\/entertainment world of tv.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve divided Gypsy\u2019s journey into two parts. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
