synchronicity
synchronicity (sîng´kre-nîs´î-tê,
sîn´-) noun
plural synchronicities
1. The state or fact of
being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism.
2. Coincidence of events that seem
to be meaningfully related, conceived in the theory of Carl Jung as an explanatory
principle on the same order as causality.
Introduced by
Carl
Jung and
Wolfgang
Pauli, this term is used to refer to what could be described as meaningful
coincidence; an obvious connection between two apparently (in terms of cause
and effect) non-related events.
The concept of synchronicity - when
seen in a wider and "esoteric-
magical"
context - raises strong questions concerning the existence of "coincidence"
at all. Before the concept was known by this name, people often referred
to such synchronistic events as portents or omens. India
and
Tibet
know a similar concept, called auspicious coincidence (
Sanskrit.,
pratitya-samutpada) and/or interdependent co-origination (Tib., rten-'brel);
strongly hinting at the basic definition of synchronicity as a coming together
of several factors which, in concert, give rise to a certain situation.

"One way of thinking of this is
to suppose that the waking world and the world of the
dream
have begun to merge so that in a certain sense the school of
UFO
criticism that has said flying saucers are hallucinations was correct in that
the laws that operate in the dream, the laws that operate in
hyperspace,
can at times operate in three-dimensional space when the barrier between the
two modes become weak. Then one gets these curious experiences, sometimes
called psychotic breaks, that always have a tremendous impact on the experient
because there seems to be an exterior component that could not possibly be
subjective.
At such times coincidences begin to build and build until one must finally admit
that one does not know what is going on. Nevertheless, it is preposterous
to claim that this is a psychological model of it, but it is really an alternative
physics beginning to impinge on local
reality."

The term "synchronicity" is otherwise
viewed as the term "coincidence" by those who do not find themselves perceptually
within its
flow.
With the basic
frequency
of the environment of the universe increasing, the concept of synchronicity
is very important, because the ongoing
perception
of it is a "marker" of the relationship between your consciousness and the subjective
reality you perceive. As most of you have no doubt noticed, the rate and perception
of synchronicity is increasing, as is the perception that the linear
time
flow is speeding up. Perhaps the best overall composite commentary on synchronicity
that we have so-far seen is as follows:
Synchronicity is the conscious perception
in a physiological time track of the simultaneous manifestation of the multi-
dimensional
universe. It is the conscious recognition that all events, objects, relationships,
points of view, perceptions and interactions are ONE thing viewed from different
perspectives. As the basic
resonant
vibration of the system increases, synchronicity becomes more easily perceptible
within experiential reality. Synchronicity is also a reflection of what you
believe you reality to be. Synchronicity, relative to reality, IS what reality
IS, and it is the WAY it is. Now, many people have discussed the subject of
synchronicity, all the way from Carl Jung to Bashar. However, it is from Bashar,
representing the Essassani, that we get further clarification: " Recognize that
you are all functioning completely within synchronicity, but many of you choose
to function within negative synchronicity, choosing a perception of a negative
reality,
rather than positive synchronicity and a positive perception of reality. Should
you choose a negative reality, than those situtations will be negative reflections.
Supposedly it is in the supernovae
of dying stars that the more complex elements, necessary for life, are created.
While it may seem the physical universe is running down it may be fueling something
else. And what is that
dark
matter which takes up 90% of the mass of the universe? Interestingly that
is the same proportion that we are told the unconscious has to the conscious
mind. Is this parallel just a coincidence?
"Just as invisible matter dominates
the physical
evolution
of the universe, so does the invisible component of the psyche - the unconscious
- dominate psychological evolution. Yet the conscious part of the psyche plays
a critical role because the unconscious is often reacting to it. Although our
interest in visible ego consciousness has consumed us, depth psychology has
clearly shown that the dark, invisible aspect of the psyche - the unconscious
- displays a profound wisdom in directing our evolution."

Dr. Konstantin Raudives' book _The
Inaudible Becomes Audible_, is a systematic documentation of experiments using
tape recorders to record and decode voices from extra-dimensional
realms.
Numerous theories have been put forward to explain this phenomena, such as "synchronicity",
a theory introduced by C.G. Jung. It assumes non-causal but meaningful
and related events taking place at one and the same time. The spiritualist
theory, being that the voices manifesting on tape emanate from transcendental
space. Should it become possible to substantiate this assumption scientifically,
it would be the first empirical evidence arrived at by experiments of the existence
and the activity of transcendental intelligences. The animistic hypothesis
presumes that
poltergeist
phenomena, such as materializations and spirit messages are part of the psyche
(anima) of the medium, these psychic emanations can take shape and impress themselves
on our sense organs, our eyes, ears and sense of touch. These phenomena
are so numerous and well attested by reliable witnesses that they have to be
accepted as empirically proved manifestations. If the "animistic" interpretation
were to be proved correct it would be evidence through experiment of a purely
mental
process,
taking shape in physical (acoustic) form; in other words, of psychic forces
influencing matter. Further research into the possibilities of amplification
of sound and new forms of sonotechnology will open up new
boundaries
never heard or envisaged.

A sleep
trance,
a dream
dance,
A shared romance,
Synchronicity
A connecting principle,
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible.
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible.
If we share this nightmare
Then we can
dream
Spiritus mundi.
If you act, as you think,
The missing link,
Synchronicity.
We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity.
A star fall, a
phone
call,
It joins all,
Synchronicity.
It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity.
Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific
pause
