Synchronicity
Synchronicity only happens when people subscribe meaning to their lives, but of course most people do. Synchronicity assumes there is a subtle connection between people that sooner or later draws them together, even when they don't consciously plan to do so. There are so many anecdotal stories about synchronicity. There are many in my life as well. When I think of its evidence I think about vibration and resonance. I think about attraction, and how an ear, human or otherwise can only hear certain frequencies. I think about language and how creatures create a bond that only members of their group can understand. I think about how we emit energy that must travel infinitely into space. I think about electrons that respond to their pair no matter how great the distance. I think about mind as a universal phenomenon, and knowledge as an inherent part of reality that's not confined or owned by the heads that temporarily contain it. Sinchronicity is a just a label created by a mind that is often looking for a particular outcome. What ever it is it may be happening much more then we think.
Connectivity
Connectivity is the basis for synchronicity. Without it we couldn't experience what ever we think it is. Connectivity can be explained in thousand of ways. It just depends on how you wish to define it. There are those that are more concrete and easier to explain and then there are those that are subtle that are difficult to explain. It's clear to me that this physical world is a vast web, an organism even, that has many parts, many systems that support a greater whole. In eastern medicine, this is explained through the concepts of the macro and microcosm. This evidence is everywhere. Outside there is sun and inside there is heat. Outside there are rivers and streams and inside there are arteries and veins. If you magnify a little piece of ground it turns into a vast mountain chain. There is no end to how one of us or one part influences another. This is all connectivity.
In the end i assume that these ideas which seem so large and novel soon will become everyday understanding. How is it that we forgot about connectivity as a society? How is it that we must relearn or reanalyze the nature of synchronicity and connectivity? shouldn't these things be common sense? Once we can "choke down" these concepts and stop trying to "prove" them where will this lead us? Like Yang becoming Yin is it possible that after all this mathmatical reasoning and over thinking we will soon become quiet and accept what is so obviously so?
ReplyDeleteI Loved your questions and thought i would add some of mine to the mix.
I wounder if you knew when i was posting this that someone was responding to your thoughts?...
No I did not know. Or wait - maybe I did in a place of greater attention. Yes, it seems that many things must play themselves out, no matter how senseless they seem to be, and that people, myself included, must take the long round about road instead of the short cut to some great state of knowing. We live within limitation, or so we feel. This is real enough. But yes, there is a vast expanse, a great understanding, and an unlimited wisdom that pervades the world. It's here, right in front of me, you, us . . . but I guess it's just not the time, nor the place. There must be more to experience in the world. See you there . . ..
ReplyDeleteSo, I was reading your posts about Synchronicity and Connectivity and for the first time, it made me thing of: the law of karma...and how that ties us together through the actions and choices that we take. And I thought how karma isn't one lump of something, like we think of in the West; but, rather there are different types of karma (including the type that comes from just thinking about doing something). And how these different types of karma all flow together and influence each other backwards and forwards, in a fluid on-going way over our many lifetimes. So, that brought me back to Synchronicity...and maybe it's even more complicated (in terms of all the connections), than we had thought of at first. Maybe there are unseen parts to it, just like with karma...that have a subtle, yet profound effect on us all.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric of life. The never ending conections. Sanchit, Prarabdha, Kriyamana, and Agama karma. I think you spoke of Agama karma.
