Synchronicity

We humans are sustained or devastated by our free will—by the choices we make each moment of our lives. Perceiving synchronicity is, perhaps, an affirmation of our being sustained—rather than being devastated, which we’ve learned to accept as the norm.

The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s. Succinctly, it means experiencing two or more events that are apparently unrelated by cause and effect—or unlikely to occur together by chance—that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner.¹

Skeptics believe synchronistic events are coincidental—unexpected, accidental, and, perhaps, uncanny. Some fifty years after Jung’s final published work on synchronicity it is now widely recognized—and typical patterns have emerged in recognizing synchronistic events and responses.¹

Perhaps synchronicity is more dynamic than Jung imagined. Perhaps the subconscious mind is the portal between the empirical and the soul—where the observable and the transcendent come together. Perhaps when we meditate—which intentionally minimizes ego—and we experience positive physical effects—e.g., lower blood pressure and respiration, reduction of existing stress levels, increased immunity—we’re inadvertently choosing to identify with soul?

                

Perhaps ego—which inherently identifies with separateness and self—creates devastation, while soul—the essence of life—creates and sustains life? The assumption is that ego and soul are indeed dualistic. If this is so, the union (marriage) of ego and soul would collapse the ego/soul duality. The offspring of this intercourse would be transcendence of the empirical. The sexual act is creative expression.

Synchronicity is observing and participating in the manifesting of transcendence in our empirical reality. Synchronicity is recognized when our identity with ego and soul are united. Creative expression is the penetration into the holy of holies.
