The characteristic feature of synchronistic occurrences is meaningful coincidence, and as such I have defined the synchronistic principle.

This principle suggests that there is an inter-connection or unity of causally unrelated events, and thus postulates a unitary aspect of being which can very well be described as the ‘unus mundus’ –one world.

C. G. Jung, Collected Works

Have you experienced situations so bizarre, so amazingly strange that it just could not have happened by coincidence?  Chance meetings with people you have been thinking about?  Or, the telephone ringing just as you have a thought about someone?  Or even more….long drawn out sequences of events that you cannot plan or anticipate…. Carl Jung called this synchronicity….it is also Kismet, serendipity, fate, destiny and more.

Now, it is also not clear that everything in this world happens synchronistically.  We people have free will and manifestly decide many factors that set our lives on a course.  We must paddle, if you will, through the whirlwind we call life.  Headwinds, setbacks, troubles, and fortune assist or hold back our progress.  It is as if we are adrift in a current that pushes and pulls us with information bombarding our senses, should we choose to recognize it.

These situations, pulled out of everyday life, are so amazing and so mysterious that it always reminds us of the magnitude of the universe (or universes) in which we play such a small bit part.  These situations also serve as reminders that we are not in control of the life to which we so dearly cling.  We come into the world small, helpless and with no possessions–and we exit that way, too.  Our job is to notice, listen and learn so that we can grow from the many experiences that we will have on this earth.

In the fullness of time, the reasons and the passion of the experience will flower.  We can’t make it happen any faster or slower….experience is not ours to manage, just to savor, learn from and enjoy.

Maybe the lesson is to let go and just let it be as it shall be.

Interestingly enough, science is getting closer and closer to metaphysics in their understanding and explanation of reality. What is even stranger, yet, is that ancient and secret texts such as the Zohar and Rig Veda cite many of the same conclusions, such as the Big Bang, as today’s quantum theoreticians.

Einstein both spent a lifetime concentrating on light and matter contributing to our understanding of the subatomic world. Einstein shows us mathematically that all motion is relative, that energy and matter are different states of the same thing, particles and waves, and that time and space are just two peices of one dimension: space-time.

Quantum physics has shown us that light manifests both as waves and particles and that its properties can change based upon the observer. They call this the Wave-Particle duality and as wierd as this phenomenon seems, it is not in question by modern science. Furthermore, they have proven that particles can be in two places at once.

This field is amazing. Awesome. And the applications are just being dreamed by the futurists in computing, transportation (shall I say teleportation), energy, biology and medicine, and psychology. Most importantly, perhaps, is that these quanta may indeed be at work in the human brain and further explain how we think, perceive and remember.

So, reality is in the mind of the observer. It is likely that there are more dimensions than we can perceive with our limited 5 senses.

What I am saying is that people are quantum beings, and that we are subject to the very same immutable laws of physics as everything else in the universe. By studying these phenomena and aligning them to the visions of the philosophers, we can better understand how to harness the amazing powers that are readily at our disposal.

By unleashing our human potential we can accelerate our evolutionary progress, align ourselves to our own conscious intent and increase our consciousness to manifest our hidden talents, knowledge and body vitality. I believe that we can all do this. That by so doing we will have an increased joy in life and attain self mastery.
