Synchronicity...has anyone experienced it?

[wisepharoah]

Quite a lot ,I see you haze! I've had it happened a few times actually and when in does I just laugh. Its one of those divine moments when you really see the beauty in your creative existence.

Because Jung believed the phenomenon of synchronicity was primarily connected with psychic conditions, he felt that such couplings of inner (subjective) and outer (objective) reality evolved through the influence of the archetypes, patterns inherent in the human psyche and shared by all of mankind. These patterns, or "primordial images," as Jung sometimes refers to them, comprise man's collective unconscious, representing the dynamic source of all human confrontation with death, conflict, love, sex, rebirth and mystical experience. When an archetype is activated by an emotionally charged event (such as a tragedy), says Jung, other related events tend to draw near. In this way the archetypes become a doorway that provide us access to the experience of meaningful (and often insightful) coincidence.

Implicit in Jung's concept of synchronicity is the belief in the ultimate "oneness" of the universe. As Jung expressed it, such phenomenon betrays a "peculiar interdependence of objective elements among themselves as well as with the subjective (psychic) states of the observer or observers." Jung claimed to have found evidence of this interdependence, not only in his psychiatric studies, but in his research of esoteric practices as well. Of the I Ching, a Chinese method of divination which Jung regarded as the clearest expression of the synchronicity principle, he wrote: "The Chinese mind, as I see it at work in the I Ching, seems to be exclusively preoccupied with the chance aspect of events. What we call coincidence seems to be the chief concern of this peculiar mind, and what we worship as causality passes almost unnoticed...While the Western mind carefully sifts, weighs, selects, classifies, isolates, the Chinese picture of the moment encompasses everything down to the minutest nonsensical detail, because all of the ingredients make up the observed moment."

Similarly, Jung discovered the synchronicity within the I Ching also extended to astrology. In a letter to Freud dated June 12, 1911, he wrote: "My evenings are taken up largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth. Some remarkable things have turned up which will certainly appear incredible to you...I dare say that we shall one day discover in astrology a good deal of knowledge that has been intuitively projected into the heavens."

Freud was alarmed by Jung's letter. Jung's interest in synchronicity and the paranormal rankled the strict materialist; he condemned Jung for wallowing in what he called the "black tide of the mud of occultism." Just two years earlier, during a visit to Freud in Vienna, Jung had attempted to defend his beliefs and sparked a heated debate. Freud's skepticism remained calcified as ever, causing him to dismiss Jung's paranormal leanings, "in terms of so shallow a positivism," recalls Jung, "that I had difficulty in checking the sharp retort on the tip of my tongue." A shocking synchronistic event followed. Jung writes in his memoirs:

While Freud was going on this way, I had a curious sensation. It was as if my diaphragm were made of iron and were becoming red-hot -- a glowing vault. And at that moment there was such a loud report in the bookcase, which stood right next to us, that we both started up in alarm, fearing the thing was going to topple over on us. I said to Freud: 'There, that is an example of a so-called catalytic exteriorization phenomenon.' 'Oh come,' he exclaimed. 'That is sheer bosh.' 'It is not,' I replied. 'You are mistaken, Herr Professor. And to prove my point I now predict that in a moment there will be another such loud report! 'Sure enough, no sooner had I said the words that the same detonation went off in the bookcase. To this day I do not know what gave me this certainty. But I knew beyond all doubt that the report would come again. Freud only stared aghast at me. I do not know what was in his mind, or what his look meant. In any case, this incident aroused his distrust of me, and I had the feeling that I had done something against him. I never afterward discussed the incident with him.

In formulating his synchronicity principle, Jung was influenced to a profound degree by the "new" physics of the twentieth century, which had begun to explore the possible role of consciousness in the physical world.

These are the moments when the cosmic mind has become sync with the conscious ego over a thought. It is important to understand these moments and learn from them and what meaning they are trying to convey. People need prayer, focus, meditation to keep the conscious ego in check from constantly arguing with self over the existence of such a thing even being in existence. One must understand how he/she is divided to understand unification of self.

Have you seen Shutter Island?

To me that movie had a deeper meaning than guy living out a fantasy only to find out he was crazy in the end. It took me a day or two to make sense of it after I got over the fact that I figured out the surface plot after the first few scenes.

What I took from the film is that we all repeat cycles daily, weekly, monthly, annually, etc. and wonder why nothing ever changes. All the clues were there to tell the character that he was insane for reliving his fantasy, but he refused to see them.

I believe those clues (deja vu, synchronicity, etc.) are there as road marks to say, "Hey remember this road? You've been down it before." Most of us are stuck in the maze though.

I'll be talking on the telephone, and at the precise moment I say a phrase, that SAME phrase is being said on the television.

What are you ideas on how to remove oneself from said maze?

Thoughts are electronic pulses in the brain emanating from a source. When frequencies are in tune, it is possible for the human mind to hear and see images being projected on electromagnetic signals before they are re transmitted thru a viewing medium (tv screen, computer screen, cell phone screen). 
Some peoples minds can tap into the cosmic circuitry of the universe while some only believe in the present. Like syndication. Psychics are people who can hear and tap in to the stream of events that basically have already happened and interpret them.

i don't believe synchronicity is anything other than coincedence
now the collective unconscious though.... Jung might have had something there
