Just A Thought On Syncronicity

[Moriarty]

Is syncronicity the energetic reaction of a thought manifested?

e.g.....thinking of someone and they phone or turn up in our neighbourhood.

I would say so but when it happens to me they are happy accidents...its almost symbiotic that I can't tell whether it is a premontition to the event or it helps to manifest the event....and the thought is normally very light and fleeting.......

Thanks nh. Either way, I find its something for me not to brush off when it happens.

I get it a lot with songs....one comes to mind for a brief moment....then next minute I search it on the ipod....hey presto it magically appears seriously though they materialize all the time from a fleeting thought, but if I consciously try to make it happen....forget about it, whats with that ?? Is it the frequency of the thought that creates the manifestation....kinda like beta waves or sommat....

I think they're more premonitions than manifestations. At least the ones where you're humming a song in your head and then turn on the radio and it's the song playing. Big points if it's a real old song and not something current. Same thing if you think about someone from grade school you haven't seen in 20 years and there he is in front of you at the grocery store the next day. Going past a neighbors house and getting a thought that the husband will soon be alone and then finding out a few days later that the wife was taken to the hospital and passes, that is a premonition. I did not make that happen but I picked up on it.

Now something like wishing I had a new iron because mine just died and then my cousin calls out of the blue to ask me if I want an iron she just bought and doesn't like, then I think that is a manifestation.

It could be something really weird...like..we are robotic time machines and set to automatically fwd/rwd time for music trivia, etc. Or maybe we are doing the Truman Show thingy..haha

That's why I started this thread, because although we tend to take it for granted after a while, there are those times when it works in a bigger way.

Thing is. It happens so often that we tend to miss it as our minds are on to the next bright and shiny thing......

Interesting. This to me smacks of energy instantly accessing ability to create its own outcomes in small effortless ways.

I've always felt synchronicity is kin to deja vu, maybe a distant cousin. James Redfield included it in his novel Celestine Prohecy. Great book. Like opportunity, synchronicity knocks so often it has sore kinuckles! Here's my take, one I put together a few years ago. A bit long, but perhaps you folks will enjoy it.

Carl Jung coined the word synchronicity for the feeling people get when coincidental, chance encounters seem to be purposeful events, not meaningless accidents. Synchronicity suggests that there is a dynamic relationship between our minds and external events, as reflected in the saying, "When the student is ready, a teacher will come." If we change within, in other words, our outer lives will change too. When we are ready to change, and take responsibility for the outcome, chance encounters become opportunities to harmonize our inner selves with outer circumstances. "What does that mean?" becomes "How should I respond?"

My portal to it has been the I-Ching. Thousands of years ago, the Chinese developed the I-Ching, or Book of Changes to reverse the a-causal process of synchronicity. Rather than wait for a synchronistic event to occur spontaneously, they consult the I-Ching to extract self-activated insights, as if synchronicity operates all the time. In effect, the I-Ching stops time (change) to give you an opportunity to align your inner self with outer circumstances, to identify a path with heart, to integrate intuition and action. In that sense, it is a yin/yang (head/foot) approach to spiritual guidance: time to think (head) before your leap (foot). This opportunity to capture a moment like clicking the shutter of a camera and examine its meaning in detail offers a profound source of insight into how our lives mesh or don't mesh with the lives of other people.

But tapping into synchronicity requires time, solitude and willingness to change. If you don't want to change, the I-Ching can't speak to you. So it is vital that you ask questions that open the I-Ching to you by focusing your attention on how you can change to get what you want. Focusing on what you feel is unfinished business in your life can sometimes trigger a state of mind receptive to the I-Ching.

But be careful of how you word your questions. "Should I take this job with ABC Industries?" for example, treats the I-Ching as if it were a game, a god or a guru that can answer your question for you. Instead, ask questions that challenge you to answer the question from inside yourself.

If I take this job, will I get what I really want?
Will it put me on or take me off a path with heart?
Can I say "No!" without feeling guilty?

Go somewhere where you will not be interrupted by anything or anyone
Think of something you really want
Transform that passion into a question that reflects your state of mind
Throw the yarrow sticks to identify one of the 64 hexagrams
Consult the I-Ching to interpret that hexagram

Thank you qwert for this imformative post. I'm sure when others like myself read it, there will be flashing lightbulbs. I believe the inner being already knows such things...and more...its just the reminders that trigger lightbulb moments. And of course, authors like J. Redfield.

For a while now, Ive come to believe that deja vu is simply a momentary glimse into a creation that has already happened (heavy, i know)...hence, why i also like to regularly take my limited mind out for a walk in the wide open 'country' ..hehe

Carl Jung coined the word synchronicity for the feeling people get when coincidental, chance encounters seem to be purposeful events, not meaningless accidents. Synchronicity suggests that there is a dynamic relationship between our minds and external events, as reflected in the saying, "When the student is ready, a teacher will come." If we change within, in other words, our outer lives will change too. When we are ready to change, and take responsibility for the outcome, chance encounters become opportunities to harmonize our inner selves with outer circumstances.

I really resonate with this...particularly the bit i bolded. Since ive learnt to take full responsibility for my life and actions, syncronicity is now part of my energy....i still thrill at each occurrence though. I reckon thats the mind still wanting to cling to its ownership of the body as the be-all and end-all

This opportunity to capture a moment like clicking the shutter of a camera and examine its meaning in detail offers a profound source of insight into how our lives mesh or don't mesh with the lives of other people.

Life, and the way we analyse it, is like a camera in many ways, isnt it? Our 'i' minds can freeze-frame each moment passed and then want to edit them..haha ...Gotta love it!

Thanks again
