Puzzled by by a series of "coincidences" that have happened to me lately, I received yesterday an article about synchronicity which I thought I'd share with you. The article was sourced from Earth, We are One. Links to the article and videos are provided at the end of this blog.
Synchronicity
for someone on the spiritual path is that moment in the fabric of time when we
suddenly and briefly become consciously aware that we have made a deeper
connection with the universe or that which is greater than our individual self.
Those not yet familiar with the concept of synchronicity would most likely pass
off these moments as mere coincidence.
The theory was
first presented by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. He proposed the idea that
when multiple, meaningful occurrences happen, it is not coincidence but a type
of psychological and spiritual experience intended to guide your soul force
into motion.
A synchronicity is designed to give us a push in a general
direction. In what direction may not be initially revealed but with a trusting connection
to our intuition the path can sometimes be obvious but it is up to us as
individuals to make the decision to follow.
Synchronicities are responsible for bringing people and events into our lives
seemingly at just the right time. This is why they are considered by many to be
nothing more than coincidence, however there is no such thing as coincidence if
you believe in synchronicity.
Although synchronicity has never been
scientifically proven it certainly doesn’t mean it does not exist. Intuition cannot
be scientifically proven, neither can many spiritual concepts but most if not
all people have at some stage in their lives seen how their intuition has
guided them in some way. They may not know how it could have possibly happened
but known for sure that something unexplained scientifically most definitely
took place.
Synchronicity is like gravity in a way, you can’t see it but it is
definitely there and the more you open yourself to becoming aware of
synchronicities as they appear in your life, the more of them you will notice.
Carl Jung believed as many others do today that you are responsible for your
own synchronicities. Your habitual thoughts on both a conscious and
subconscious level combined with your day to day actions cause you to manifest
synchronicities into your life in a manner directly related to the law of
attraction.
Subconsciously you know what you want and through your subconscious
beliefs you attract events or synchronicities which if followed will lead you
to places where you will learn the important life lessons you need for your
journey. It is important to remember that not all synchronicities will lead you
to a place that you consciously want to be.
However, by
following those synchronicities you learn new lessons that are beneficial to
you in the long run although at first it may seem you have made an unwise move.
For example, you have been pondering the idea of opening your own business but
feel you don’t have the experience or the resources to make it work so you
don’t make any plans to move ahead with your idea. At the same time you are not
happy in your current job and desperately want to leave.
All of a sudden
a synchronicity occurs, so you follow it into a new job that you believe will
make you happy and you will gain more experience that may help you to open your
own business later on.
At first everything seems to be going along just fine
when one day your boss comes in and tells you he is closing down the company
and you no longer have a job. This causes you all manner of stress as you can’t
find another job and you wish you had never quit your old job.
However, since you have the time anyway, you begin to
work towards setting up your own business while you continue to look for a new
job but eventually you manage to start up your own business and after a lot of
hard work, it pays off and you realize if it wasn’t for that initial
synchronicity you wouldn’t be in the position you are today.
This is one
example of a synchronicity leading you to a negative place before a positive
one but in my experience I believe most synchronicities, if followed intuitively,
tend to improve your position in life sooner rather than later.
Synchronicities are happening for most people on a daily basis but most of us
are so tuned in to our problems and worried about the past or the future that
we don’t recognize the synchronicities when they appear. Synchronicities are
not only related to the law of attraction, they are also directly linked with
the law of vibration.
Each individual vibrates at a certain level, the more
positive and happy the person, the higher their level of vibration. Negative,
unhappy or angry people usually reside on a lower vibrational frequency. With a
positive outlook and an open mind your higher rate of vibration serves to
manifest positive opportunities or synchronicities much faster than those
vibrating on the lower frequencies.
Synchronicities are going to lead to a change that will transform your
life. Often they are just a guide or like a warning bell to keep you on the
right path and stop you from wandering into the abyss through a lack of focus.
Dreams and premonitions which precede a synchronistic occurrence are usually
positive examples of when you should take notice and follow them intuitively.
At the moment a synchronicity occurs it is like the merging of a persons
subjective and objective realities or in other words, when what had previously
only been seen from inside your mind’s eye actually appears on the outside or
in your physical reality.
Albert Einstein discovered with the law of relativity that everything in the
universe is made of energy vibrating at different rates, the more dense the
matter the slower the vibration. He equated and it has been proven
scientifically that if everything in the universe is made up of energy,
everything must in some way be connected.
Synchronicity reveals how we are
intrinsically connected to our seemingly dense material world through our
conscious and subconscious thought patterns.
Our thoughts control our reality
and the collective consciousness which we are all part of is like an organizing
principle that brings us together through synchronistic experiences which help
us all to evolve on both our physical and spiritual journey through eternity.
The bottom line here is, keep an eye out on a daily basis for even the tiniest
of coincidences and know that what may seem insignificant at first glance could
be a wonderful opportunity just waiting for you to take action. It could be the
synchronicity that leads you to the place you’ve always wanted to be. So maybe
dreams really do come true.
