Synchronistic phenomenon prove the simultaneous occurences of meaningful equivalences in heterogeneous, causually unrelated processes; in other words, they prove that a content perceived by an observer can, at the same time, be represented by an outside event, without any causal connection. From this it follows either that the psyche cannot be localized in space, or the space is relative to the psyche. The same applies to the temporal determination of the psyche and the psychic relativity of time. I do not need to emphasize that the verification of these findings must have far-reaching consequences.
Carl Jung. Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle
I love when things happen that appear to be too coincidental to be true. Without reading what was read off my site in the last 24 hours I just wrote a long big blog entry based on what inspired me from Michael Singer's podcast. I was inspired to go to the Gita and write down a couple of passages from Chapter 2 related to the fruits of action. I began with the passage that starts at verse 54, then I added a quote that began with verse 48. All good and done, I then go to reread what was read in the last 24 hours by readers. And lo and behold, of over the 4000 blog entries that could have been read...was one entitled " Not Bearing Fruit." It not only related to writing without attachment to outcome, it began with the passage from the Gita that immediately poceeds what I have written today... Verse 47. Isn't that uncanny!!???
What were the connecting seemingly acausal events: My recent thought stream about my writing lately and getting back to this book Fear and Shame (I mentioned that book recently several times),- being inspired to get back to my writing without being attached to outcome...lead to... picking this Michael Singer podcast over all the others I could have chosen...lead to...there being a mention of the need to transcend Fear and Shame for Love (the basis and title of my book actually) in the podcast- also a mention of this passage from the Gita....lead to me going to the Gita and quoting this passage as I related to Singer's podcast in my entry...lead to...the daily practice of reviewing what others read in the last 24 hours...to find a blog entry read that not only related to my writing intention but quoted the verse that proceeds the one I quoted today!
The other synchronicity....was that was thinking of synchronicity and Carl Jung last evening which lead to me skimming through the you tube channels to hear im speak about it and going to bed with that on my mind....that lead without any apparent connecting causation...to me listening and writing in my blog this morning...which lead to a synchronistic event...which then lead me back to Carl Jung...as in the above quote.
Go figure!
