Synchronicity - 2 ways about it

[Brown Eyed Mystic]

I have a question about the 2 ways I've read at places:

What is synchronicity according to you? Is it, as some say, the signalling of some Universal message "You are on the right path as planned by the soul" (This urges you to continue on whatever path you are on.)

or

is it "just plain LOA at work?" (The more you think about something, Synchronistic events appear w.r.t it.)

Say, I think about a guy and I keep seeing his name most of the times at places. His name is very uncommon.

In the first case, it may not be in my spiritual plan's best interest should I be with the respective guy, but it gives me a delusive feeling that because I keep seeing his name flashing, he must be somehow an important person in my life plan. Divine and such.

The second case sounds more "logical", well in a way. It just means because you are thinking, its appearing in small forms. Thats it.

Its more about a cause-effect situation, thing is which is what.

Thoughts?

To me, it's simply a sign that everything in this universe really is deeply interconnected, as well as like little winks from the universe saying that things are "coming together" just fine.

Thanks Ariel Bravy, interesting read.

I've found that that any of the main synchronicities I've experienced, the ones that are most meaningful to me on my path that I can almost sense them before and as they happen.

It's more of a feeling like after it happens I think to myself "I knew it was coming" almost to the point I could've wrote it on a page that I'll experience something of significance today.

This leads me to believe that it is both a process of manifesting it on your own alongside the universe giving you a sign you are on the right path.

I think these gestures are a good sign. And of course pay attention to them, signals that we get from the universe are things to pay attention to, maybe don't flock to every person who intuition tells you to go to, but analyze it with logic and reason before trusting it.

Trusting my intuition has led to some of the happiest time of my life, and some of the most amazing consequences and happenings.

what if it's both?

your thinking about the guy makes the synchros show and the synchros are telling you it's your path.

because in some viewpoints our thoughts are just like the weather and are naturally occurring out of universal intelligence more than from our ego's illusion of personal volition. so, in this view point, your thoughts are big synchros in themselves.

So wolfgang, what you say is, the thoughts themselves have been "arragned" to draw us in a particular direction. Hmmm interesting pov. Still, just that as Bative said,

but analyze it with logic and reason before trusting it.

That exact thought now comes to us as well at times, so the its like a contradiction of sorts in the making... Coz that's got to be synchronous as well. Well, yes and it does get difficult to bifurcate the ones coming from the ego and the one really from the synch'ed vibed

You are not a thought (don't think about it).

I don't know. Added thinking to figure out which thought is ego or not sounds like more ego doing something. Like the ego thinks it knows better and can figure out which though is authentic or not - when maybe all thoughts are just whatever they are. As soon as we start judging thought, where does that take us? I still don't know.

Well I have a couple of examples that look like synchronicity but probably arent and one that is.

25 years ago I used to work in a particular company and there was a guy in my team called Raj.

Some 15 years later, out of the blue and for no reason, I started thinking about him. A few weeks later, I was walking in the neighbourhood of my office one lunch time and I saw him in the street. We said hi, caught up, and he told me he had been working there locally for a few weeks and would be around for another few, and true enough I saw him around most lunchtimes thereafter until he left the area.

Initially, I thought it was 'spooky' how I'd suddenly thought of some guy who hadn't crossed my mind for 15 years and there he was, when I put my logic hat on.

I think the most logical explanation is that I had started seeing him around when he moved to the locality, but not recognized him immediately, my sub-conscious had got to work on it and had finally identified him, and saying 'hello conscious brain, do you remember that guy Raj you used to work with' and so next time I saw him I recognized him.

Now here's another example. A few weeks ago, I learnt the word 'nzil' in arabic which basically means 'get down' (like get down from the bus or whatever) and now virtually every bus I go on, I hear people saying 'nzil' whereas I didn't before. I'm sure the whole of Cairo didn't just suddenly discover that word at the same time but it was there all the time, waiting for me to become aware of it.

Now an example that probably is synchronicity (or even just a major coincidence )

Again a couple of months ago, I was contacted by someone off another forum I belong to about coaching. She is a fellow coach. We have been working together now each week on some areas, and it turns out we are on very similar paths right now. There are similarities in our background that could NEVER have been uncovered from reading the forum.

It's as if the universe or whoever brought us together to support each other on a 'journey' we are both undertaking right now. Coincidence? Synchronicity? You decide.

Wow Darren, that sure is a on-a-high like feeling

Like the ego thinks it knows better and can figure out which though is authentic or not - when maybe all thoughts are just whatever they are. As soon as we start judging thought, where does that take us? I still don't know.

Yes, Wolfgang, I am with you on it.


CoolBee, interesting cases here you have. Maybe the colleague thing was something more of a telepathy? Or something similar. The "nzil" and the fellow coach cases sound more like LOA manifests, traditionaly speaking. Still, its best to be open to possibilities, which can only be confirmed by having more such experiences. And taking those notes of our analysis meanwhile.

Oh and btw, after reading your post CoolBee, I happened to visit your blog. And guess what, the first article I see is about Whiteboards. LOL, I had been coming across that term a lot recently, unwantedly, since I was researching some marketing strategies for my company

[CoolBee]

LOL about the whiteboards - if you have any thoughts - good or bad - on the subject please contribute (I made a post in 'personal productivity' about it. )

[Brown Eyed Mystic]

Sure will.

To me Synchronicity is a never-ending Irish limerick describing the behavior of lemmings who suddenly become self-aware as they're going over the cliff.

[Bative]

:d.

Err, yeah, well, but hey I could actually use it!

I'm with your opinion but more with "the synchros are telling you is your path"

I can speak for myself. And there's lots of things that I think everyday and have no synchs about it at all.
Sometimes I'm thinking of doing something difficult, and as the moment of doing it is near, I watch for synchs...
When I don't see any synchs it's turns out to be a failure and when I see synchs it's turns out to be a success.

On the other hand, I use to have synchs related to musicians, and I don't think more often in musicians that all kinds of music fans. Yet they don't experience such synchs...

So I don't think the cause is thinking about it at all. Only that they appear after you start to thinking about it as a project

I've given this a 2nd thought...
If synchs are caused by law of attraction then they doesn't neccesarily point to a good outcome.
As you can attract anything about your worries, fears, pessimism, etc then maybe some synchs will happen about it.
And they wouldn't point to any "right path" but they'll be just a mirror of what you have in your mind.
I'll pay atention to this, synchs about what I don't want besides about what I want...

"and it makes me wonder..."

[Brown Eyed Mystic]

Yes, precisely. Thats what some opinions about it have to say. And hence the question arises. Whats the cause and whats the effect eh...Though i must say i probably tend a lil tiny bit more toward the LOA manifesting synchs side. Oh well.

I've watched and still can't find or remember a synch about "negative thoughts". For instance, these days I'm quite worried because of a minor health problem I have, yet I haven't seen any synch about it, I should attract more about of that if synch was caused for LoA (news, random people talking about it, etc...)
But I don't.
