My synchronicity moment happened one day when I decided out of the blue to make a heartfelt offering to nature, so I took a small bag of herbs down to a stream and with sincere prayers I made my little offering to the stream. As I released the contents into the stream, I looked down and there was a gold ring.
Nice one. One day I arrived home, after much pocket patting, to find that I didn’t have my key on me. I was locked out! Despondent, I sat and waited on the kerb, and there in the gutter was a tiny silver key.
Another time, I had lost my hiking knife and spent some time looking for it at home. Eventually I gave up and went out anyway. On a part of the river that I had never visited before, I looked down to find a bone handled butter knife.
Driving to a concert I realised that I had forgotten to bring cups for our drinks. As I was thinking about how to solve this problem, I saw a packet of paper cups lying by the side of the road.
I still have the key and the knife, but not the cups.
These moments of synchronicity hint at a dimension of reality that subsumes both the internal/mental world and external material world. What seems to 'generate' these synchronicities I think is acts of heart felt intention as opposed to, acts of the will. The former having a more relaxed or open sense of outcome.
Re-attuning to the right hemisphere's functions with the last few hundred years of scientific exploration in the mix -- it won't be the same trip as the ancient writers of the Vedas were on -- let's hope enough of us can catch the air currents and ride them as we spiral onwards
I encounter more synchronicity when I'm in the default mode network phase of the cycle of consciousness. It's a mode we all cycle in and out of, although we're in a culture where a large proportion of people try to avoid daydreaming, finding it "idle" and "depressing," and thus the elimination of play time in schools, and the emphasis on long days of labor in tech work.
Anyway, having learned to tell the difference of which mode I'm in (I've always loved daydreaming) I'm curious if others have also noticed its synchrony with synchronicity.
Note: The default mode is not hemispheric, per the neuroscience of the last two decades, but may account for an intuitive interpretation of experience supporting McGilchrist's attempt at a hemispheric explanation. Also, it's a cycle; trying to stay in it all the time is defeating, perhaps as much so as trying to stay ever out of it.
Of course we are in a conversation with the world. Our particular conversation is as Huxley put it "a function of our being". Each of us is in a relationship with an ecology. There is no boundaries. I mean, where is the outside of the universe?
I enjoyed the speculation a few days ago, and to leave nearly everything out, that, like an actor on stage with half a radar on the audience, perhaps, one can have a live interest in feedback that can be very widely opened.
