Synchronicity

Such a term has been slightly misunderstood since its first being conjectured. If we start with a meaning that does not betray itself we can move onto a description of the mechanics of synchronicity in so doing we will see that it is not so much "an acasual connecting principle" rather 'a principle of connection'. In the simplest terms synchronicity designates a correlation between a psychic event, that is a thought, feeling or intuition and a material event which provides for what one may call a coincidence, that is to say two (or more) events that come together in time and space with a common realization/meaning. Such a meaning is given through contact with the "animus mundi" ("world soul"), or Holy Spirit. Such a world soul incorporates the soul of everything that has ever lived and, to use seance as an example of sorts, when ones thoughts are on a particular person, it is that person about whom the animus mundi responds, or alternatively ones thoughts are in consequence to the animus mundi and the revelation is thus. It should be made clear that in such a circumstance that one is not thinking of any person in particular it may be God with whom one has contact (the concept of the animus mundi and the Holy Spirit are almost, in fact they are meant to be, synonymous. When or at those times that the two concepts are not identical it is merely a matter of the degree of intelligence being used as to whom one has made contact with, the animus mundi or Holy Spirit, for instance when is one is not being manipulative with their intelligence and is seeking the truth it is the Holy Spirit with whom they will have dealings). One also has reference to the art of Zen when one proclaims that such synchronization, the harmony between instances and the engrossment in the self (spirit) reflected back into nature, is Zen. It should be stressed that when one goes looking for such synchronicity one will not find it, as Lao Tzu says "He who does his own looking sees little!". In similar sentiment you cannot be your spirit, your genius, if you look for it, for such genius, the 'knower', lies within, and through looking outside one becomes another, but in a tenuous way. This is not said in discarding the advice of Jesus when he said "seek and ye shall find" because, and although it sounds utter folly to say it when considering what I have just said, it is only by seeking viz. looking; literally in this case being observant, that the etchings on the mirror (knowledge) which is the soul, will be known, and what is known is known through synchronicity in the psychological functions, instincts and desire. As to desire you must have an idea what it is you are looking for, and where genius is concerned you do. Desire to know is desire to establish the truth, in Chinese it is called Tao (Tao = in synchronicity with existence, which of course is the ultimate truth). Meditation is looking inwards (introspection). What we can also say at the outset is that synchronicity has no meaning whatsoever unless one is being intelligent; without intelligence there would be no recognition of exterior and interior events and no recognition of their place in a 'whole'; leading one to extrapolate the meaning in such a coincidence. Essentially intelligence is the basis of, and prelude to, synchronicity. When we describe the mechanics of synchronicity we go a long way to understanding the nature of reality, for dualism is seen to be a subtle misunderstanding and materialist monism a half-truth transcendental monism being the other half. Synchronicity is not really random, or acasual, but can be predicted; the more we know about the material world the more this knowledge can be described in terms of psychic projections the more sense impressions, feelings, and intuitions can be understood in terms of material influences (from the past, present and future). Even abstract thinking is not entirely abstract but rather contingent on sense impressions (real to start with and then imagined). Synchronicity becomes apparent when man begins to formulate speech from the primordial soup which is consciousness. The impulse to name a material object as one does, and then, whilst being intelligent, to name something else in a similar fashion exemplifies the essence of synchronicity. The impulse to think about two (or more) events/objects in a similar manner demonstrates the psychic fact, which is that there is a correspondence between the two objects/events in meaning. To say that synchronicity becomes apparent when man begins to speak is to say that it is more markedly so; in actual fact synchronicity exists in some form wherever there is intelligence at work which, at its most fundamental level, means so long as there is life: at its most clinical one may say that intelligence and manifest reality are in complete synchronisation. It is direction that facilitates the establishment of a truth in synchronicity in saying as much one might as well go the whole hog and suggest that it is merely a matter of direction, both learned and inherited, conscious and unconscious, that provides for 'accumulation' during life and in the afterlife. A perceived material symbol (a symbol represents a hidden truth) may give rise to a noticeable psychic event, a thought for example. Such a thought however is prone to be part of a process of thoughts which may lead to the psychic fact, the truth, such being in synchronicity with the material truth (represented in a symbol). We would say that such a thought process works in "association of ideas" and that the first thought is symbolic of the ultimate psychic truth to be worked out. In intuition however one may be able to grasp both the obscure location in the material symbol and the corresponding psychic truth relating to it, at the first attempt, without any protracted deliberation and no need to go through the process of association of ideas. This would be intuition par excellence and in actual fact it is how ones spirit functions in full purity. One must also add that a psychic event, a thought for instance, may also give rise to a corresponding material event given in the form of a symbol, which can be worked out or intuited in its meaning. When one remembers that soul is like unto a mirror reflecting realities from the past, present and future one will be better able to grasp the point. Further one must say that synchronicity does not only occur in the relation of psychic and material events. Synychronicity can occur in the relation of one psychic event to another, an example being the meaning of one sentence considered against the sentence in following possibly demonstrating a psychic and/or material truth (which may be given in the form of a symbol) . Likewise two material events in following each other demonstrate a material and/or psychic truth such being that nature is in the mechanics of cause and effect. A living organism behaves in such a manner that a correlation can be drawn (is more obvious), at various times, between interior states and manifest reality. So we can say that synchronicity may have a supposedly random and unconscious basis but with intelligence in conciousness we come to realize that the part really is part of the whole, that the truth in a psychic event is evident in nature in some form and that synchronicity is, will or can be (it may not necessarily have to be) realized in some extent. To provide security for ones interests it is worth pointing out that you only get out of life what you put in, and a great deal of rubbish does go in, and will come out in what one would otherwise believe is synchronicity i.e. a meaningful coincidence. It is through intelligence only that one will become master of their own house.
