Is synchronicities a new knowledge or has it been around forever?


I have lived a life filled with synchronous events since I was very young. I am 63 now. I am more introverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving oriented.  The first experience was when I was a child and my mother (in Aberdeen, WA.) had a very strong and frightening dream that my grandmother in China was crying out to her that her feet were on fire. A couple of weeks later, we received a letter that she was recuperating at her niece's apartment after being treated at the hospital due to smoke inhalation from her apartment fire. Since then, I have always been aware of such incidences.  

After 31 years in IT, having been a systems/requirements/function/festing application analyst and a project and systems manager, it is strongly ingrained into me that life is how we define and scope it, and want it to be and it is our intentions and goals that make things come into existence. It is my fervent belief that the cosmos is ripe with infinite possibilities and that we are co-creators in what happens around us.

Now bad people may have goals as well, and the fabric of interconnectivity, as it is, does not protect us from their entanglement. However, we are a force as well, and we can offset and or overcome them as well. Life is an interplay with every other life, but the creation of humanity is an ever progression of transcendent knowledge that spirals the creative spirit forwards forever.

The fact that churches are being hollowed out today is of consequence. But God does not live in a church. However, it has always been the 10 percenters within all churches that have carried out the heavy lifting of their spiritual knowledge. The others for their own reasons were not really in tuned, but have either relied upon traditions, come for the social events, been been ruled by the given church laws, or have been seekers.

When people leave, they leave and go seek elsewhere. They will continue until the churches understand them and find a way to connect with them again.

Carl Jung, who coined the term synchronicity, has a developing sense of synchronicity. The Hindu and Buddhist traditions take it much further. You will find that Carl Jung has always been a closeted mystic and have experimented with the paranormal. His major piece of work is the Red Book, which is a mystical deep dive and 15 year exploration of his own inner mind. There has been many mystics throughout history. His terminology is in rage right now, because it tries to give an air of secularity, which the world is willing to accept now.

God is not dead. He has just been mischaracterized.

Synchronicity exist because it is an interplay of the desires of the individual with the infinite. We are but a physical representation of our souls. Some have said that "we are spirits having a physical experience". In reality, physical reality does have a dual nature, see wave and Particles

Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, and other major religions are not wrong about the infinite. Their theologians do have to interpret the findings of science in light of their own understanding. They also need a deep dive into other people's faiths and to recognize their spirituality. Luckily for them, the developing sciences are starting to review the foundations for spirituality.

We are in the now at a great moment in time where we are rediscovering the foundations of spirituality.

Opinions are mine alone.

Forgive me if this appears to be my ramblings. They are.

Characteristics of Synchronicity

It has been said that synchronicity has the following characteristics:

• Meaningful events that occur without any having any apparent
  physical cause and effect conditions
• They may only be meaningful to the person experiencing them
• They can sometimes be acted upon
• They can lead to some emotional resolution 

Discussion  

It is difficult to describe a synchronous event without examples. It is my belief that synchronicities have one or more of the characteristics that are listed above. The more of these characteristics that occur, the more that I am able to say and believe that they are synchronicities. The example that is presented below is my family's real experience. This is how I frame my recognition of a synchronous event. In this case, it is a rather long running one.    

Meaningful events that occur without having any apparent physical cause and effect conditions

When my father-in-law was in the hospital intensive care, due to his strokes, my family went every night to visit him late in the evening after we closed our shop. Every night we would get there after most visitors had already arrived at the hospital.  Parking was always at premium. But night after night a single parking spot would be available for us close to the hospital entrance. Very often, a car would be pulling out as we drove up. This didn't matter how early or late that we arrived. No other observable parking spots would be evident. Many workers and visitors at the hospital told us that this was really unusual. They said that it never happened to them.

Do you think there could be any physical cause and effect?     

They may only be meaningful to the person experiencing them

Certainly, the other visitors and doctors would find no meaning in the parking spots opening up for us, but they did have meaning for us. We could not predict when we could get to the hospital every night due to the ebb and flow of our business but we felt compelled to get there. Also, it was always dark and scary late at night around the hospital because it was a big city hospital with lots of street people loitering around. Also, my mother-in-law's and my little children's safety was a big concern for us. Having these open parking slots were a relief night after night.

Do you see any meaning for anyone else?  

They can sometimes be acted upon

Knowing that our parking space needs were being satisfied gave us the flexibility to spend more time at the hospital and to help with my father-in-law's care. This speeded his recovery and got him out of the hospital earlier. Also, the nurses didn't have to work as hard and were able to spend more time with other patients. Knowing that the parking spots kept on coming gave us reassurance that we could take the time to go to the hospital every night no matter how late. We would also take our little children with the reassurance that we would still have enough time to properly feed them and get them back home to bed.

Do you think that this would encourage you to go to the hospital after a hard day of work?

They can lead to some emotional resolution

These frequently available car spaces gave us a vivid sense of the creator's loving kindness. We felt reassured that things would go well for my father-in-law so we stopped worrying and did not stress about the situation throughout the days when he was in the hospital.

Do you think you would lose your fears and feel confident if this happened to you? 

The end of the story
My father-in-law left the hospital with a pacemaker (which never needed to be activated), went to a nursing home, where he relearned to walk in 6 months, and came home to us. He lived for another 5 years in our home and passed away peacefully at age 94. He was a happy, generous, and humorous man.

Please share your story of synchronicity. Let me know if it has any of the characteristics that I have noticed. Please add anything else that you feel are relevant even if you feel that this is not a synchronous event and has some other explanation.

Synchronicity 

What is It and what are its Foundations and Functions

The purpose of my blog is to explore the concept of synchronicity to determine the following:

• Whether it really exists

• What are its foundations

• What are its functions

• How has it been recognized throughout the ages 

• Give examples of synchronicities

• How to be in-tuned to it

What is Synchronicity?

• Meaningful events that occur without any having any apparent
  physical cause and effect conditions
• They may only be meaningful to the person experiencing them
• They can sometimes be acted upon
• They can lead to some emotional resolution 

It is my belief that in our day and age we need to reconnect with the unseen world

• We need a reason to have faith in the unseen
• We need a belief that we are all one even with all life
• We need to understand that science and religion can unite to form a universal ethics 

                               

                                  The World and Everything in it is Interconnected 

                                    

                                       Everything and Everyone is Interconnected

                                    
                                                   Most of the Universe is Unseen

My beliefs are that there is much secular evidence that indicates that there is an unseen world that acts upon us and we on it. I believe that these topical issues suggest this case:

• Symbiosis                          Interspecies cooperation is widespread
• Earth System Science        The global spheres are all interconnected
• Entanglement of Objects    Objects far removed still affect each other
• Epigenetics                        There is evidence of  the genetic transfer of experience 
• Deeper reality                    There is an implied underlying order  
• Holographic Universe         Physical nature and time may be illusionary 
• Duality                               Physical things have a dual nature
• Dark Matter                       The cosmos is more than we can see and detect

Types of Synchronicities:

• Predictive
• Guiding
• Confirmations 
• Connections
• Warning
• Assistance
• Protection
• Character Building 

This is my belief and hope

• I believe that religion and other faiths provide many metaphors and teachings that indicates that synchronicity exists.
• I believe that secular science have advanced to the state that they are in agreement with spiritual traditions.

• I think everyone can become responsive to synchronicities in their lives.

• I believe that meditative and contemplative practices provides means to obtain an awareness of the unseen state. 

Describe a time when you experienced a synchronicity.
