Carl Jung on Synchronicity - Explained With Examples
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 дек 2020
- For Carl Jung synchronicity explained a lot of coincidental occurrences in his life. A sychronicity Carl Jung tells us is an occurrence that is not to be understood as personal but as an impersonal happening connected with the greater realities of the collective unconscious.
In this episode we look at Carl Jung on Synchronicity which is what he calls an acausal principle that operates on meaning rather than causality a psychical principle rather than a materialist principle. We are going to have synchronicity explained in this regards as well as looking at synchronicity examples.

I love the acorn story! What a great example. Fortune is shining on your endeavor because you are you taking care of both the acorns and this wonderful channel. Keep up the fabulous work!
I am constantly experiencing synchronicity and signs.
In 1993, I experienced one very weird synchronicity. At that time I was thinking of moving to a different part of the united states and I was getting a lot of grief from my family and friends. They said that I was "running from my problems".
One of my best friends hung out with me one night and we drank too much and debated whether these naysayers were right. The major topic of the whole night was whether or not I was "running away" because I wanted to move from Pennsylvania to North Carolina.
In the morning I was on my way to work when I noticed a car directly in front of me.
The car license plate read "run cmc".
It was a very bizarre thing since my initials are cmc! I had never seen that car before in all the time I commuted on that road, and I never saw it again. Just once. When I needed to make a decision. The perfection of it absolutely freaked me out because it seemed like the world was saying, "go"
Looking back I think it probably needed to be a loud sign because it needed to get through the morning after a heavy drinking blur. There was probably a million less conspicuous ones before it that I missed.
So, the wrap up is I did move to North Carolina and it has been very good to me. Thank God the license plate confirmed that I should.
Life is so weird and kinda wonderful isn't it?
Oh wow that is the most on the nose synchronicity ever!! Amazing! Not much room for doubt with that one. God that's just jazzed up my faith in synchronicities more!!
Faith does not come from miracles because miracles are de result of having faith.
I trust de universe will take care of me and provide for me-
I just need to be super strong and healthy until I die.
Das world gives according to my faith.
De knight of faith is a dancer with high elevation.
Wow! Please write a few books if you haven’t already. Great story, great story teller! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽♥️
Don't let anyone hold you back. People are envious or in a rut and want company sometimes. I moved from a major city to the Rural in another state, best move ever.
@@Chrysalis616 Thank you for this. I am seeing it long after you wrote it, but on the day I needed to hear it as I am dragging my feet about writing an article. Thanks for your encouragement.
Synchronicity has to do with Time. It occurs when the time of your current energetic path matches that of your future path which already exists. They are usually fleeting moments which present a coincidence that can't be explained away and are accompanied by a feeling of fulfillment.
That about covers it, yeah!
Wow that really clears things up huh?
What does that even MEAN
Not quite...
What about when they're negative synchronicities?
What a synchronized blessing to discover this channel.
A thought that helps me come to an understanding of synchronicity is the idea that someone being born isn't caused by the reproduction of their parents, but rather the process of manifesting or submerging themselves into this reality. The physical world is an expression of energy of the personal and collective psyche.
Woww.. nicely put.
There's a lot to unpack there, especially when you consider unwanted pregnancy and its consequences.
Patience is a beautiful thing to be able to attain. So elegantly put.
The paradoxical nature of the universe also states that one must let go in order to receive. This goes for deep meditation also. Let go of attachment to any outcome in order to advance.

Thank you for making this video I haven’t seen too many good videos on synchronicity. You deserve more subs!
Great video, and so comforting to know I'm not the only one who questions the existence of synchronicity, flitting constantly between certainty and uncertainty. Your awareness of this makes me hopeful that you won't take offence at what I'm going to say...which is that the problem comes when we hear of others' synchronistic experiences, which may seem powerfully convincing to them whilst not so convincing to us (no doubt also true of my own anecdotes!). For example, I'm sure the acorn/youtube channel connection feels meaningful, but from Jung's perspective it would not be a synchronicity. You chose to grow your channel, and you also chose to grow some acorns; Jung stated synchronistic events must be entirely acausal. If you had chosen to grow acorns then overheard a passerby talking about acorns, for example - or anything similarly outside your agency - then this would fit Jung's theory, but otherwise the channel/acorn growing connection is surely just because you are a person who likes to nurture and grow things. Similarly, dreaming of acorns would not hold water because, to be considered synchronistic, Jung states the dream must come before the event, for example as a premonition (at least, as I understand it from his words 'an unconscious event comes into consciousness'). I hope you don't mind me making these points because this was a really wonderful video, but I hear so many people describe 'synchronicities' which do not fit Jung's definition. Keeping in mind that in his seminal essay, Jung warned about reading too much into things e.g. seeing multiple images of fish in one day meant nothing as fish are such common subjects in everyday life. In a similar vein, someone claiming that finding this video is a synchronicity... this would not fit the definition of an acausal event because RUclips runs on an algorithm. People can get very upset when you point this out - unsurprisingly, as we all crave a taste of magic - but the very concept of reality mirroring our internality is such a huge paradigm shift that any 'evidence' must be strong. As the saying goes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Forgive the essay, but I feel this is a subject which deserves strong debate as I have experienced some truly bizarre 'coincidences' in my life which have made me question the nature of reality. I will be checking out your other videos as this was so eloquent and honest, many thanks.
Fascinating comment. I can 100% see your point blue moon. Perhaps I shall do a video update at some point. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail
@@TheLivingPhilosophy Please do update, it's such an interesting topic isn't it. Really enjoying your channel.
@@bluemoon-rx2em thanks blue moon! I'll throw it on the list for the new year it'd be an amazing topic to do a proper deep dive on so watch this space!
you listen to good spiritual teachers and they'll tell you the whole reality is connected and one at the higher levels of consciousness, this means everything you see including "technology," is one, synchronicity can very well happen even through a web browser and on RUclips.
I've experienced many synchronicity and it's often very personal with little meaning to others, of course there are better examples which even when told to others they see how unlikely the event is.
There's levels to this shit let's say you think of a topic and the next page on RUclips has it that could be considered very minor.
Now let's say you're painting and run out of paint and leave your house to get more where you see the exact same colour paint outside your neighbours house with a sign saying "take me"
That would be allot more meaningful.
Personally I'm very sure everything is very connected as I've tens unbelievable coincidences all occur within the span of weeks, to the point where even small coincidences could be seen either way.
"Between uncertainty and certainty"
Likely the healthiest space the ego can occupy when it comes to unconscious phenomena, and especially when acausal events blow the ego's mind so to speak, creating the tendency for ego inflation. 😉
synchronicity really messes me up because it’s one of the things I judge SOOO hard about other people. But then I have no idea how to think of it when it happens to me.
Rarely numbers or red cars, a most recent one (which was so strange) shook out like this: I was complaining to a friend about struggling to balance my work and my relationship and I blurted out “I don’t know maybe I was born to be alone.” And then I repeated “born to be alone” cause it felt sad but also good, I’d never heard anyone say that before: born to be alone. Not two hours later Music was playing from my Spotify new recommendation playlist which I was blasting in my ears doing stuff, and suddenly The Bee Gees came on, Crying Everyday, which opens with “I was born to be alone”. Directly in my ear. And THEN, later that same night my gf and I were talking and she reached out and grabbed me and said “I feel like I can see you trying to convince yourself that like shouldn’t need anyone ever, like you were like Born to be alone,”.
What?!
How can I not believe in synchronicities AND also feel like I really understood the meaning on the third one, yet here I am.
Haha amazing! That inner conflict eh 🙈
What is the meaning of these coincidences for you ? What do you think the universe is telling you? Your role in the world?
That though is likely the phone just heard you say that
@@sahindemirer probably im born to be alone and shouldn’t need anyone? Heh
@@user-hq6ws9zc1g but taking the phone out of the story, and leaving it just with the friend and y girlfriend, its still kind of intense. The phone is really just the cherry on top. Or, in the middle as it happened.
Three days before the terror attacks of 9/11, I was standing on the porch of my mother's house early in the morning. I looked up at the sky and froze to the spot. An solid image of two soldiers in profile set against an American flag appeared in the blue sky. And it remained there until I looked away. When I saw it, I felt a terrible feeling of danger. I'll never forget that moment.
I believe you.
@@Boulos-cb2un I’ll never forget that for as long as I live
The day before it happened, my uncle told my grandmother, “Something very bad is going to happen tomorrow.”
I' m renewing my algo on yt and decided this guy deserves an all rinkeling bell on the notifications! I like his chill energy, nice ' presence '.
Im thinking more that synchronicities don't really have a specific meaning, but that they show us that we are in harmony , balanced and flowing with all of it ... when they happen for me when I've been meditating, or feeling mellow (not stressed), more going along with life... then they happen way more. My observation...
I desperately needed this video, thank you so much for making it.
Carl Jung bought me here... this is the first video I watched on your channel. I experience synchronicity quite frequently reading or hearing same words/phases to me it indicates we are not random beings thrown out into the chaos without some guidance or signal? I don't understand it fully, but I like to think it's the universe's way of getting us to pay attention to something.
Totally in love with your acorn story very heartfelt 🥰
Delighted you enjoyed it Lindy-Beth!
I think there’s a difference between confirmation bias (seeing things /after/ the idea enters your subconscious) and synchronicity where you have a thought, hear a word in a song or read it in a book or on your phone, etc. and “at the same time something else quite independently happens that portrays just that thought,” as Jung puts it. Being an atheist myself, I still can’t and probably will never be able to explain the countless synchronicities I experience on a daily basis. This guy was onto something.
I have been having an unusual amount of synchronicities lately. For example, walking through the grocery store a few days ago with my headphones on. A man walks in front of me and the back of his shirt says “You have to go” - at the very same moment the chorus of the song I’m listening to starts “Mr Lonely you gotta go” 🫣
I’ve lately come around from my strict materialism to a cautious, even begrudging acceptance of the reality of these synchronicities. I posit that, just from sheer chance, we will, in our lives, experience many random events which *seem* to hold some deep, poetic meaning. I want very much to see life as such a harmonic work-such a poem. Perhaps it does not matter how we see life, if it is so. All will become clear to us in death, in that case, as we become pure beings of the realm which underpins this one, and causes these “too perfect” coincidences…
This is, perhaps, my concession in a long battle with the understanding of reality. A truce. A realization that even if I cannot understand every atom and its properties, and how they tie into one another, I can understand enough to fulfill my chosen purposes, and perhaps those that have been chosen for me by this theoretical cosmic ordering force.
“All will become clear to us in death.”
I dunno about that.
Check this out. Read abunch of books on different subjects. Create a synoptic tethering type of thought process. If this then that.
If you know your demons, if you’re integrating, Synchronicity will show you reality. YOU HAVE TO STUDY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO WANT IT.
Thank you for this video. This is the best video I've watched in quite some time. Sending you many blessings from Australia
Delighted to hear it Sharon!
I enjoyed your explanations, very relatable. For myself the threshold between bias and synchronicity gets crossed when becoming manic.
“Too much synchronicity in the world” has become a red flag to help me catch myself before it’s too late.
It’s a fascinating experience for sure.
Ah that's fascinating. I haven't heard of someone doing that before I love it!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy synchronistic experiences is a hallmark of bipolar disorder (and I believe schizophrenia). I’m curious if you, and how many of the other viewers have been diagnosed with a psychotic illness, how many first had this experience on psychedelics, and how many began having this experience without psychedelics or a psychotic break of any kind, and that haven’t had a qualitatively bad experience with their mental health.
Not speaking ill of the belief in synchronicity at all. I am bipolar and entertain it. Commenter here mentioned mania, which in BP type 1, is characterized by psychosis. Not sure if you caught that.
My thinking is regardless of whether there’s ill intent in the psychiatric/psychological establishment to try to dampen personal awakenings, that’s the effect. Psychosis essentially means, “behavior and beliefs we don’t understand, and that have absolutely no basis, purpose, value, or function, and arise strictly from insanity and chemical/genetic factors.”
Is this simply science’s material, behavioral fundamentalism? Is it a cop out? Is there a conspiracy? Don’t know, don’t care. I’ve learned to explore this world for myself, using intuitive emotional health and wisdom as my north star. As long as you don’t think I’m crazy when I’m not talking about one of these subjects to you, and I don’t lose my grasp on reality when I am thinking or talking about them, I’m pretty sure I’m not. I won’t let someone’s lack of understanding of what I’ve experienced and learned and how I’ve reasoned about it make me feel invalid or irrational to even entertain it.
That statement would trigger most the therapists, which is exactly the problem. There’s no place for these types of beliefs in their model of mental health. If you’ve ever become manic on spiritual or mystical experiences, they want to reinforce an atheistic worldview in you. Because again, they think they’re strictly psychotic symptoms, even if we’re able to maintain emotional stability, reasoning skills, perhaps even find great insight and morale, whilst entertaining the “delusions” at the same time. They’ll convince themselves the emotional control and rationality is just a front we’re putting up, and that we’re quietly and stubbornly causing ourselves actual brain damage from mania/psychosis that we won’t dismiss.
With that said, of course it can get out of control. Again, I don’t know or care why. I simply know what it feels like and how to come back to collective reality, and the lessons I learn by keeping it in check. This is what the commenter is referring to, his “red flag” is when synchronicities are flying all around. Problem is by the time that happens it’s often too late to stave off the mania. I would encourage him to listen to what’s stirring up in his mind and body that gets him to that point.
I find synchronicities to be related to strong emotions. An initial, emotionally packed thought can invoke a synchronistic experience. But if you overreact to the first synchronicity, you can start seeing them all over. You’ll even start looking for them desperately to give you guidance because your conscious mind’s not fully ready to explore what the first one was telling you. These may have some innate benefit or information as well, in the same manner I’m suggesting any synchronicity works (articulated mostly below), but this is also where it gets chaotic, and can spiral and wind you up in the bin, because we don’t have shamans anymore to help us through it.
But other times, it’s just one amazing synchronicity, coinciding with a single, strong emotion/thought. Emotion is the rawest, most unrefined form of knowledge, and thus the most accurate knowledge that exists. Not objective knowledge. Knowledge of how we feel, unprocessed, unexpressed. It’s our job to decipher an emotion’s knowledge of the situation. Synchronicities serve as clues.
This leads me to think synchronicities are something that are entirely psychological. But then again, we are the universe trying to understand itself. At what point does a meaningful coincidence stop being something self-generated, and start being the universe speaking to us, if it’s meaningful? Meaning is inherently psychological. The rationalists such as Descartes understood this, and science mostly rejected it, outside of mathematics.
If there is a process, a language, a code to the subconscious, that gets projected onto the world for us to decipher consciously, to gain greater personal or worldly insight, isn’t that an “acausal connecting principle?” The only thing we have to worry about is regulating it, because clearly something can cause it to overwhelm the rational mind. Whether that something is organic or inorganic (conspiracy), don’t know. Explaining scientifically why it’s legit and that the mania is just something you have to avoid? Not interested.
I think a lot more goes into this, but I’ve stopped trying to reason using formal, collectively objective terminology as the standard for understanding and validating everything I intuit, which has helped with the mania immensely (almost like that’s the sick part, conditioned into us), but makes it difficult for me to invoke my feelings in others without writing a novel, and I think this is long enough. But briefly, I believe the ego plays a huge role. In response to the mystical experience, the ego wants to do everything from think you’re some kind of spiritual leader (that nobody can understand 😂), to explain it all away, to rationalize it into coherence with science, to need others to understand it, etc. etc.
It’s an issue of how we we naturally, internally form justified beliefs (epistemology) vs how we communicate epistemically. I also think that fundamentally, these synchronicities often serve to break through our egos or make them dissolve, which is why it will go into overdrive to try to control the narrative of what you’re experiencing. It puts a stop on the awakening, which involves its death, and tries to tell you you’re the pope or something instead.
But this all of course begs the question of Jung’s seeming insistence that this is not just “seeing meaning.” In his beetle example, he’s clearly suggesting the beetle showed up as a message, brought there by the universe. But then again, WHO KNOWS how our minds and the universe are connected. I also don’t think Pauli quite agreed with Jung on this, and I’d take Pauli’s word over his.
It’s not entertaining the possibility it’s a real phenomenon, and extracting philosophical and psychological value from it that makes you spiral into madness. It’s the NEED to get others to understand you, to get others to see it too, to validate it with logic and science, to pull new and nonsensical scientific theories out of your feelings, to think you’re chosen by God to see this, to anger when others don’t understand what you’re feeling, to pontificate, etc. These are all the ego’s way of coping with whatever the heck the universe/you (the same thing) is trying to awaken you to! Stay agnostic, but keep listening.
@@noahmcdaniel4920 I can definitely relate to your point. The idea of spiritual experiences is still something outside the paradigm of mainstream psychology. Psychoanalysis and particular jungs depth psychology had a paradigm that could at least talk about it but that's very far from mainstream now. I've never been diagnosed with anything myself and would say that I've never had an intrusive experience with synchronicities. It was always a question of willingness to engage with it but the second i stopped making that effort it fell off my radar. I came to all this from the angle of lucid dreaming. I was fixated on it and in practising for it I started treating real life as a dream to be interpreted to develop all day dream consciousness and then began to notice synchrinicities occurring that surprised me and lured me in
@@noahmcdaniel4920 Hey Noah, normally I would be writing, editing and rewriting a response like this but you pretty much hit the nail on the head so I can try to keep this brief. I don't talk to many people who had the same result I had with psychologists but it boils down to what you said in your early paragraphs: I was diagnosed with BPD type 2 and during my manic periods would notice synchronicity more and eventually got diagnosed because I thought the radio was dropping hints that I should be listening. That sounds crazy but it was also very in line with where my head was at at the time and may very well have been crazy. I was put on mood stabilizers and anti-depressants and lost pretty much all feeling.
I've always been bad about consistently taking meds so falling on and off the wagon wasn't hard. I started noticing if I allowed my mania to work with me when I wasn't medicating (psychologist prescribed or otherwise) then the synchronicities I encountered weren't overwhelming like they had been but applicable to struggles I was having if given proper analysis and cool headedness. Every time I went back on my meds though, it again was all gone.
So over the past couple years, despite one particular family member's wishes (probably my most respected family member) I have not returned to the psychologist and stopped with the prescribed stuff. In my free time I watch philosophy videos and agnostic interpretations of theistic writing. How I got here was a jump from Chris Langan talking about Jesus' and overall Christian fundamentals to Jordan Peterson's Biblical Series where there was a comment that alluded to coming to this video's subject matter. I can ration that to looking through the comments of people in circles that reflect my interests which feeds into your comment about the self being "the universe trying to understand itself."
I don't quite know what I'm trying to get across here, either that what you said I could relate to or that there are folks out there who get it and have been through it. Dunno if it matters either way since it seems like you're staying strong on your path one way or another. Anyway, stay agnostic and keep on keeping on bud. Cheers.
P.S. Sorry for the name, this is an alt account I changed the name a couple times on when Google started showing that they weren't really listening to their old slogan but was convenient to use when they bought youtube.
The example of the princple of groth being the same in trees as in entrepreneural endeavours is very inspiring!
If you illustrate it like that, syncronisity seems less subjective, and more like an underlying principle that governs multiple things by certain laws.
When I got into making beats, I started seeing image and audio as basically the same thing.
You can apply a saturation effect on a audio file, or to an image file and it does the same thing, gives the same feel.
Pointy waves sound pointy, smooth waves sound smooth.
The principle of smoothness, pointyness and saturation also applies to touch, smell, and taste.
This gives value the claim often misunderstood as 'wacky spiritual' or just meaningless:
_everything is essentially the same_
The following also ties into this:
_"If you can design one thing, you can design everything"_ - Massimo Vignelli (designer)
I interpret it as; If you understand how to work with underlying principles that govern our reality, you can apply them to any field.
I believe the claim is true to some extent, but on the other hand every context and its content have its own uniqueness, and deserve a unique approach.
Anyways, am I taking what Jung ment by Synchronicity too far now?
Yesterday I heard of Eddy Currents for the first time.
When I came home, first thing I saw when I turned on my usual tv show was some explination about Eddy Currents.
Sounds like a cool rapper name too.
Thanks for the video, Hopefully we grow nice trees :)
Very interesting that you start with the idea of a conflict between your rational/sceptical 'self' and your poetic/ 'spiritual self'. i suspect most people have this experience, and in terms of phenomenolgy its a strong piece of evidence for how fragmented and poorly integrated we are in a society which constantly requires us to ''take sides'' in either/or contests - often requiring us to take sides against ourselves. Thanks again for the channel. M :)
I thought the same thing....right after he had just spoken that part...that most everyone is conflicted.
....furthermore I suspect that many that claim otherwise are lying to others, knowingly, but bury the truth dip within themselves...
i experienced my 20th birthday this year; the night before provided a full moon, and the evening after provided a sunset with a full rainbow across my backyard. i genuinely imagine these synchronicities to be the signifiers of the end of my teenage years, and the beginning of my 20s.
after experiencing mantra healing while tripping on a relatively strong dose of mushrooms, and having experienced what felt like “the great mind expansion” during said healing session, i have come to believe that there is some level of mental manifestation in how our surroundings interact with us. i both directly and indirectly manifested the trip i had, and i feel in some ways that same synchronization unfolds in daily life every day in some form. it might not be directly causal, but in my eyes there is undoubtedly some connection between those pathways of mind and matter, both directly and indirectly.
I just found your channel and subscribed! - you speak very articulately and eloquently, beautiful work. Your acorn parallel made me :)
Delighted to hear it Sahar welcome to the channel!
Very interesting topic. I observe more and more synchronicities the older I get.
...to me synchronisity is experiencing in the 4th and maybe 5th dimensions. Totally appreciate your explanations of concepts that for me are really difficult to articulate the experience of
I intuitively receive Jung's writings as he is often too complicated in terms for my fish brain, lol. Thankyou so much again, again, again 💖
Much love your way, It would be nice to have someone like yourself at Speakers corner.
It would be interesting to also explore the possible link between dreams and synchronicity. Almost every famous person I have dreamt about, I’ve eventually met them but there was always a serendipitous situation that lead to our “chance” meeting
Dreams are us time traveling to our futures
There is a plethora of empirical research on the origin and meaning of dreams.
Dreams are very useful as they serve as a way of consolidating the thoughts, events, ruminations and concerns of the day. Following quality REM sleep; many people find they are better equipped to manage those concerns/issues.
When he goes on to connect his synchronicity principle with the collective unconscious with his stories like the golden scarab in a patient's dream this gets even crazier. The existence of these "psychic" dreams, which I suspect most people have had whether they remember the dream or not, is still very subjective but when you experience them yourself it is pretty incredible. Dreams of estranged friends who appear in the flesh days later is a dream I've had and often hear other people claim to have had.
I had a dream once about a setting and a place I had no knowledge of, and 2-3 months later I am standing in front of this building with every detail of the dream down to the feeling of the situation right there before me. The dream and the moment it correlated to were insignificant beyond proving in my own mind the existence of such a force beyond time and space, but I love to think about the accounts of profound and even prophetic dreams through history and wonder if perhaps they really did happen.
There are many experiences I've had that years later I found described in Jung's works and it never ceases to amaze me.
Really great exploration of these concepts. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Austin delighted you enjoyed it!
I read in this book called "teaching thinking" that the most important thing regarding patterns is the observer! Some people pick up on it and others don't. But if there's one thing I've picked up from this universe is how abundantly clear it is ...in the most difficult way lol
Check out Alan Watts!
I thought the term "spiritual buzz" was the best line ever...then I got to witness it as you basically lost it talking about the acorn. So good!!
Hahaha thank you White Phantom! Spiritual buzz indeed - after last years success I've now got 60 acorns sprawling my windowsills!
I love Jung Psychology. Very cool story on your acorn seed, without nurturing nothing grows. I believe we live in a holographic world of mind. This was nicely done, good job.
Thank you kindly! Jung is indeed something special
You are so spot on in my opinion with ur priming “theory”! Thank you for giving your perspective
what a nice guy! And beautifully explained, thank you!
Haha thanks Grace that's very nice of you I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow you're explaining something I've thought so much about. You're a pretty cool guy too
I have to tell that I also feel real synchronicity that I have came across your channel right in this period of my life. I need to share that I feel a deep connection with the dichotomic personality you mentioned in the beginning of this video. Nevertheless I am really curious whether or not you have experiences with altered states of consciousness and what is your stance on this topic of psychedelics or other forms of spontaneously/intentionally induced ASCs. If you could do a video about it, that would be amazing, because to me it trully connects with this topic of synchronicity and the lived phenomenological experience of an individual. Also thank you for your work, it`s amazing and I really appreciate it. You have my support and please continue and grow further with your channel. It is very much needed.
Hey Honza delighted you're getting a lot of value out of the channel! I've not experienced any Altered States of Consciousness in my regular vein of life (I'm excluding experiments in lucid dreaming and alpha meditation and sleep in general here). I have been to a few plant medicine ceremonies one earlier this month and while I'm not planning on doing a video on the topic immediately it's definitely something I'll be exploring on the channel at some point once I have more of a concretised sense of what is going on there for me. Thank you so much for your support and for sharing how it resonates with you. It means so much to me hearing this from people so thank you so much I am humbled
I've noticed whenever I'm doing things I know I should be doing I see the number 47. What number(s) do you see?
I appreciate your message and your courage! I also feel at home with you🙏🏽
That's lovely to hear Tonja glad you enjoyed it!
Would music classify then under this? It’s a subjective meaning under a objective one. Idk if I’m far reaching, Bt kinda like a q1 meaning in a q4 world? Does that make any sense?
I can really relate with the two beings inside me: my soul is the one who seeks for meaning and engages with the Mystery and my evolutionary mind is the one who seeks survival of self in a world full of other selves. It's a conundrum that I continually face, this juggling between the Universal and the Temporary. Meaning is what gives value to life, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity for learning in each situation I experience. Sometimes the insights come through the juxtaposition of the inner world and outer world, as you experienced with your oak trees (I hope they're getting enough light, btw) and sometimes the lessons come through conflict and reflection. Either way, I'm comforted to know that there is a Personality who knows way more than I do and wants to help me. All I need to do is ask. And when I do, my life always improves. I find Revelation helps a lot. This is from the Urantia Book: 90:9.30 The Universal Father, through the mechanism of evolutionary Deity, is actually engaged in the stupendous and amazing act of personality focalization and power mobilization, on their respective universe meaning-levels, of the divine reality values of the finite...
Multiple times a day I am living this reality. In ways I never would’ve imagined possible
I feel the same way man. Thank you for putting it into words :)
I have been reading Freuds work on dream interpretation recently. I have been analyzing my own dreams every afternoon. My dream today involved drinking tea and seeing someone draw a butterfly on a chair. I was walking back to work after pondering this dreams latent meaning when my wife called me and asked if I wanted her to buy my favorite tea on the way home, at the same time a butterfly flew past me....... I understand dreams according to Freud, but am yet to move on to Jung. So my question is, according to Jung, what significance do synchronicities hold?
Interesting! Thank you.
You explained my perspective exactly. The hemispheres are like having a skeptic and a hopeful meaning-connector in one head.
Logically it makes more sense to me that mind creates the universe. Or what we could call something LIKE mind because we couldn’t fathom what it is as the scale and dimension are not obvious to us. It is harder for me to believe that there is no logos and that life is a random accident. But I can’t prove it to myself so I remain a skeptic.
I like how you acknowledge the two parts of yourself. I also have the scientific practical and the hippy dippy sides and they're constantly in a debate 🙂
Absolutely Brilliant - Cheers !
Synchronicity is basically just ‘the game’ but with mindfulness
Now that's an interesting thesis.! Elaborate if you will
@@TheLivingPhilosophy Well, it was kind of a joke, but sort of fits in a roundabout way. The point of ‘the game’ is that if you randomly think of ‘the game’ then you lose the game. Once you start thinking of the game, the chances are it’ll pop into your conscious mind quite regularly for a month or so before dying out - until you’re reminded of it again. Same can be said for focusing on a number or an image or a symbol. Once your conscious mind has ascribed meaning to that number/image/symbol, you’ll find it popping up regularly, but then it dies out - until you’re reminded of it again. Again I guess synchronicity is about momentarily dampening our ‘self’ and considering, instead the possibility of the divine. Synchronistic experiences leave us with a curious sense that we should pay attention - be mindful. Whereas ‘the game’ asks us to momentarily be annoyed that we’ve thought of the game. I could try writing it in more detail, but super tired and about to hit the hay. Sorry, it feels like my elaboration is a bit slapdash…But hey, fun comparison.
@@92baynrw Haha I see now. That is the thing that concerns me it's the sceptic in me thinks that it's more like this confirmation bias of like something at the back of your head is just primed (reticular activator system as they call it in NLP) to find the next iteration of a pattern. Well that is of course unless the cosmos is playing the Game with us in which case what a cruel life this is eh!
True.
Be still and das whole universe will surrender.
I turn around
and then I see some deers this morning.
I just lost the game, but that’s another point
This honesty is so genuine.❤
Thanks.really well explained
Thankyou for the examples
I'm the same torn between the fierce Logician and then having to try explain the plethora of bizarre things that I've seen and experienced. Here's one of my ''Sychronicities'' In Mid 2001 I had a major car accident Aged 17 with multiple near death experiences. One of my injuries was i tore my Right kidney off. There was only one dream I had while in hospital that was in distinctively in in black and white, In this dream I was a small child who Helped an old man tidy his shed up, and he gave me a bicycle for helping him. I clearly remember rolls of carpet stacked up on the left as you walked into the shed(Stacked like a Pyramid). There was no big deal about this particular dream (At the time anyway). I received a get well card several weeks into my stay by a girl I'd met not long before the accident. Anyway months passed by and almost a year later i caught up with the girl who sent me the card and we became a couple. One day while doing some work for her father i spotted a photograph of an Older gentlemen grabbing steel out of a wheel barrow, chills ran over my whole body and i began to tremble as I realized this was the old man from my dream! I immediately phoned my girlfriend and i was trying to explain the dream and asking who was the old man in the photograph?. She explained that it was her grandfather who had passed away a few years before! I Immediately raced to her house. It turns out he was an Engineer and a Professional CYCLIST who helped develop Adelaide's first Velodrome!!!(while in the nursing home he broke out and assembled his bike and took off for a few days lol) As i explained the dream and got to the rolls of carpet she burst into tears! I was freaking like i was in some sort of dream or something. The shed in the photograph was his shed and it HAD ROLLS OF CARPET STACKED ON THE LEFT AS YOU WALK IN LIKE A PYRAMID! He also had bicycles hanging up in there! We cried together and tried to discuss this bizarre experience. Eventually it just became one of many ''Coincidences'' that were to come! After a year yr and a half we were together she suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized Her RIGHT Kidney had failed or was functioning at 10% and needed to immediately be removed! Due to an unknown birth Defect !!! It was rather bizarre that we'd both lost our Right kidney's at around the same age. We had our 1st Son some years ago and he was born with Duplex kidney tubes (Dual drains effectively) Not uncommon but odd considering our kidney situation. Then we had our first daughter a few years ago and she was born with a small 1'' long birthmark along her right side where we've both had our Nephrectomy's. Bizarre, but i guess it could be explained as some sort of DNA mutation or ''DNA Memory'' if you like.. This was one bizarre episode of my life that made me open my mind that there's much more than what we can see and understand.
I forgot to mention the accident synchronicity. We were supposed to have a designated driver (James) but his friend (Mr Luckin's) whined and moaned that he wanted James to go with him. It was at this point in the night i knew our fate was sealed. My brother decided to drive (Inexperienced but knew how to drive) On the way home only a short drive the train came, making us take the longer way home where we had a long backstreet that my brother thought would be a good spot to speed down. Only to get airborne at 100km/h and hit a tree head on with no brakes. We got airborne off ''James st'' a girl heard the accident and hung up the call she was on and immediately called an Ambulance. It arrived on scene within 2 minutes of the call. The other local residents all called FIRE or Police reporting an Explosion as there was no braking before impact. I was rushed to Hospital with Horrific internal injuries so severe that i was effectively cut in half internally and had multiple spinal fractures 2 punctured lungs the outlook was not looking good 0pulse 0BP At the scene. I was a goner. Until one young surgeon in particular got involved.... His name was.... DR Andrew James Luck! Now you could say it's just ''another coincidence'' but i can no longer continue to do that. Now 20+years on i'm still here i can still walk, but i suffer from chronic pain and high blood pressure. All things considered i should be dead 100x over. Not even MRSA Could finish me off while in Hospital. I was lucky the Staph Infection was confined to a drain tube placed at my R kidney. Since my kidney was completely torn off the infection was sealed in it's own bubble and never entered my bloodstream. 5Months in Hospital and i was sent home. Not big on religion, but there are too many bizarre experiences throughout my life to ignore some form of higher power. If i listed everything that i've experienced no one would believe me, and it'd be a novel. Anyway thanks for the vid. and thanks for reading if you made it this far. Cheers, From Australia. My name's actually Tod with one 'D' Which turns out means ''Death'' in German. Haha.
Holy smokes Tod this is up there with the best of them that I've heard. That's just absolutely mindblowing. It's stories like this that make think thank you so much for sharing
@@TheLivingPhilosophy No problem, mate. Cheers. It's one of many experiences. Probably the most profound. But my partner and i have even shared the same dreams on several occasions and were able to finish each others stories of each dream. Only slight differences were notable masculine and feminine. I hunted a Turtle to eat and Dolphins came after me, She patted the turtle and the dolphins were friendly to her. But the same dream none the less. A turtle Whale and Dolphins on the same night at the same time. I gave up trying to understand what it all means, but it's certainly fascinating. I believe her grandfather came to me to push us together. Then the signs just became stronger and stronger.
@@toddcarter1148 Wow that's another lovely one. It sounds like you guys have a really special connection. Even before the end of the first story I was rooting for you guys!
Nicely explained
Interesting, I am in a very spiritual time, which is also based in the material world, and very challenging for me. So much synchronised energy is not an easy thing, yes can be very confusing and even distressing
I love this! Thank you 🙏🏽❤️☮️
Do you have any social Media? I would love to add you to my feeds. One of my favourite new youtube channels. I've watched perhaps ten of your videos so far. Love it
I love synchronicities. It's as though every so often the universe says, "magic exists!" Or maybe, "relax--your cognition just sped up and allowed you to notice two of thousands of otherwise seemingly disparate elements proximal in time, space, and your perceived reality." I prefer a bit of magic. I hope your oak trees grew from the acorns? I've come upon your vlog two years after you filmed it. Thank you!🌷
I appreciate you sharing your acorn, Majestic Tree, entrepreneur synchrony analogy. I empathize with your experience via many of my own synchronistic experiences. Your explanation is valid, valuable and down to earth. It helped me with my own material vs metaphysical struggle. I think I'll plant some acorns now and I saw a precognitive synchrony YESTERDAY BEFORE SEEING YOUR VIDEO my awareness caught a builders advertising sign at the companies current building job, Acorn Builders. How is that for synchrony?
When I was 10 going on 11 my grandfather, who I was close to, died, and his wife, my grandmother, died 10 going on 11 years earlier. My grandmother was 10 almost 11 years older than my grandfather. Their oldest child's oldest child was 10 going on 11 when my grandmother died, and their youngest child's youngest child; which was me, was 10 going on 11 when my grandfather died. I realized this when my grandfather died. 10 almost 11 years later my father and grandfather's brother died. No one in the family; which was huge, died in between. This could be related, or I was recognizing an actual pattern. I was born in 1979, so every 10-11 years there is a decade change. Change is stressful consciously and subconsciously. This is why more people die from diseases that are stress-related and commit suicide near a new year. I realized the death toll increases during a decade change more so. When I was 10 almost 11 I just thought I was seeing patterns that weren't there, but now it seems I might have been seeing an actual pattern. If my grandmother wouldn't have been 10 to 11 years older than my grandfather I would have never realized that more people die around the beginning and end of a decade. Some synchronicities have meaning in the internal world of a person and some have meaning in the external world. Some are just our minds seeing things that have no actual meaning.
Matter and Energy = Particle and Wave; which is like Objective and Subjective or Left-brain vs. Right-brain thinking. Babies are more subconscious/right-brain and they build a logical/left-brain framework later on. Wave-functions give rise to matter/particles. It would then make sense that the subjective came first and gave rise to the objective since in every other instance this is the order of things. Whether it be energy giving rise to matter, waves giving rise to particles, a baby being right-brain oriented first then becoming left-brain oriented, or our subjective experience leading us to create or do in the objective world. This appears to be the way of things, and therefore it would make sense that the universe is/was subjective by nature first and matter/particles/the objective world came out of or from the subjective.
Wow that was fascinating. Interesting to see how that threads through the generations. It's a dark thought but I wonder if something will happen with the next cycle? Interesting to see if it has predictive value. That's of course a morbid thought in one sense and I don't mean to sound insensitive but it's an interesting thought
Ooh, I like this. What I have certainly come to believe over my lifetime is that there is absolutely no way the objective and subjective worlds can be entirely disentangled. This is even clear in science from quantum theory, the double-slit experiment, and the placebo/nocebo effect. The state of our subjective (& collective) belief systems have some profound effect on the way the objective world manifests itself.
In such a way, your hypothesis fits quite nicely with this idea... and one could say that Nietzsche's "Death of God" was really more like a death of the divine spirit within us, leading us to this time & place where we (collectively) have become psychologically stuck in a materialist, nihilistic paradigm.
@@MarkoTrapani This is a really interesting reading of Nietzsche's death of God. I can where you are coming from especially when you look at how the 20th century went...I've been reading Thoreau recently and you can see in him and in the 19th century the attempt to find a marriage between science and the spiritual and the attempt the desire to deify nature and to have a spiritual materialism but even Thoreau found it difficult and questioned whether these two modes could be bridged and so we've been with a mere materialism. It's been a learning experience but not a place to set up camp I don't think
Synchronicity. Reason I chose to watch this video was because the duration was the same as my DOB, 12:12. And then you go and talk about numbers...
Aha!! How wonderful! I'm honoured to be the organ of synchronicity for you!
Synchronicities are tied to meaningful events throughout your life. Sometimes they have a common theme. Sometimes they take you by surprise to get your attention.The wider you open your eyes, the more amazing synchronicities you will see. They are occurrences that do not happen by chance.
Apart from the good content of the video, your hair is marvellous!!!! 😮
Haha thanks Susana!
Thanks for this. Synchronicity has an ancient history: alchemy's "as above, so below," the Stoic notion of "sympathies," the Egyptian doctrine of heka (connections everywhere). Confirmation bias can't account for synchronicities that connect meaningful events across time when the causal aspect can be ruled out.
Really enjoy your videos and fascinating work. Have also watched the metamodernism vid which is great. A lot of these ideas I've been exploring in my writing esp. my last book 'about:blank'. I can't see your name... Are you from Ireland?
Great to hear Adam! I am indeed from Ireland down in the southwest in Limerick
For most people it is at the end of their incarnation that discover the pattern and the purpose.... blessed are those who discover both long before their incarnation ends! Amun-Ra
im convinced im experiencing kundalini awakening as i experience synchronicity on a very high lvl. i've learned to accept it and not let it rattle me so much.
i love the discussions Jung & Freud had regarding synchronicity. fascinating.
.
Ah really? How long has it been going on? How are you managing? I know some people who have experienced this and it's...a dramatic experience to be sure. Important but by god it's not easy
@@djrv3n423 Fascinating stuff! Glad to hear you are managing well with it!
So nuts to hear you call out your duality. Mine is EXACTLY the same. No wonder I’ve enjoyed your channel so much. Agreed, Synchronicity, goes both ways for me. I consider it an element of the Universe as much as Gold is…
Ah delighted to hear it! I thought it was just me but it seems to be a more prevalent condition than I thought (thankfully!)
@@TheLivingPhilosophy Yes, definitely! It’s been a huge element to my life. Great work sir. Absolutely wonderful lessons, valuable insight and meaningful content. THANK YOU!
That’s not how I’ve always understood. Synchronicity I guess I’ve been wrong?
I thought it was more like the following examples:
One time I had an unpleasant experience with someone that I was seeing. And after it, I had not spoken to them for maybe six months. And then I woke up one morning and a voice from my dream said “don’t call Ty”. I shrugged it off and went to school and even told my friend about how weird it was.
When I got home, there was a birthday card. (Mind you this was more than a month after my birthday…) it was a card from Ty telling me that they missed me so much and please please please call them!
If I hadn’t had the dream I would have called but instead I wrote a letter and explained how I felt about everything that happened. And then in return I got a horribly insulting nasty letter back, and I was very glad that I had not gotten sucked back into that relationship. 😮
Or other examples would be getting fired from your job and you’ve lost your apartment because you don’t have any money.
You have ALWAYS wanted to work on an organic farm but you don’t know anyone that even does that. And you’re driving somewhere and your car breaks down, and the person that stops to help you happens to own an organic farm and says they need someone to Work for them really badly and did you know anyone?
And they also have a little cottage on the property that they would let you live in and you are offered the perfect amount of money…
Great video!

I have had a few strange synchronicity’s, the most recent one was just this past Friday night with my girlfriend. I had taken a break from doing some Gateway experience meditations for about a month and a half and felt I was pretty tuned out of everything Friday. I decided to do the next sequence in my meditation. After a break of nearly 2 months we went to a random restaurant to eat dinner. I sat down and chose my dish out of 20 selections, but my girlfriend asked if I had seen the specials list. I looked at the list over for a moment as we had only been sitting for maybe 15 minutes we ordered drinks and I said I’m going to get this buffalo chicken spring roll. Five minutes later out of the blue a woman who wasn’t our waitress came to our table and Said” I’m going to give this to you guys since you don’t have any food yet” (also, what restaurant does this after only sitting there for 15 minutes?) not only did she randomly bring the Buffalo chicken spring roll but I had also told my girlfriend that I hate blue cheese and I would want it switched out with ranch, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what the dipping sauce was when she brought it out, that is some thing that I can’t wrap my head around, wondering if you guys have any similar experiences of manifesting a synchronicity that quick
Love the video man, thank you for the new insight. Never clicked that synchronicity needs a feeling to be something, but makes so much sense!
Also, no joke, I am curious how to grow the acorns.
Haha awesome thank you. The oaks are actually not too hard I'm going to do a lot more this year now I know. Basically you get your acorns (no more satisfying feeling than pulling a ripe acorn out of its cup) put them in a zip lock bag with some soil in the fridge. I used some compost and you want the soil just damp not wet just damp. Check back in around 8 weeks and a few will have sprouted and you just plant them and away they go. Some of the other acorns took months to sprout but they all did in the end. Would highly recommend its a delight now to see them growing (though we had two casualties along the way 😔)
I have been on the process on Individuation for the past week or two through dream analysis and I recently watched the movie Dune, the intro of the movie was 'Dreams are messages from the deep'.
Awesome! I read all the books a few months ago and planning on seeing the movie tomorrow so this gets me all the more excited!!
great video😍
Thank you!!
Very interesting thank you :) Carl Jung really intrigues me :)
Serendipitous that your 12.12 min long video pops up on my feed on 12/12......or is it??? 🤔🤣😬
Awesome!
You are a wonderful person. Thank you.
Haha thank you that's very kind!
ok so its constant now. is it supposed too be non stop every moment. this is good? any one can relate or is it just me?
have i beat the game?
@3:30 I recently had a synchronicity situation where 444 popped up on things my bias couldn’t reach (tho I wasn’t really thinking about numbers like this until I kept seeing it pop up in places).
A buddy I’ve just had the pleasure of reconnecting with after he’d gone through some personal struggles, legit had 444 followers with the social account he messaged me on.
444 popped up on a thermometer I had walked away from checking a temperature, looking back at it, seeing the little screen for the first time, dumb luck 😂.
444 popped up on my RUclips recommendations (a thumbnail) as a random video I hadn’t even looked for, that caused me to finally seek what others see as significant or “angel numbers”.
I don’t care for the literal interpretations of all this fluff, but I’ve come to see my spiritual side as important as my non-spiritual side of existence. These numbers ambushed me right at the time I’ve started giving my intuition a place to be itself, while absorbing not one but many spiritual perspectives.
I’ve always seen the tiniest coincidences (didn’t really see them in any real way), there has been coincidences that tied into “life or death” situations, I’ve been counting my blessings but not appreciating them.
The importance of that appreciation is something I needed to learn, working backwards with a strange psyche 🤔✨.
I work in retail and one of the trucks I unloaded literally had 444 units of freight, I really couldn’t make that shit up or apply my bias to.
I’m mostly just enjoying this side of me that seems to really dig how (sometimes seemingly) rare occurrences just happen. And often enough to me, I can’t help but enjoy the sheer novelty in it, but also draw deeper meaning in it.
I had come across this comment yesterday day that mentioned a well put way to see synchronicity, 4mo ago, 4 likes, 4 comments. Like how the hell? I love the mere occurrence of stuff like that. Plus this person had a significant name to me lol
Nice to find a video of an Irish lad talking about Jung. Gizza shout if you're in Cork.. I'd love to put you up in Dripsey
Haha cheers Rob I will do!
Many europeans were starting to dig into translations of buddhist and taoist stuff around here, to the point that even the last generation had been influenced. The difference between a causal or correlational system of thought I think is best visualised as whether you have chains of causes in a line or whether you have co-creation in a circle. (Both exist and are modeled by contemporary mathematics.) I always thought it was neat that the yin-yang symbol basically shows a differential equations idea, that at the height of yin you start towards yang and vice versa. The correlation approach also makes sense in ecology as you say with the oak -- the oak doesn't cause all those creatures (even if energy tends to flow down through the system), they all co-evolved together along side one another. So it depends on what kinds of phenomena you are most concerned with explaining when you start, as a culture.
Wow this is insightful stuff thanks for this concise barrage of gold. I wish my calculus was a bit stronger so I could appreciate what you are saying about yin and yang. You couldn't point me in a direction for learning about this co-creation in a circle? Is that a thing in mathematics?
The ecology analogy I can understand though and what you are saying there is brilliant the idea of the co-evolution rather than one causing the other....one does not cause the other but they form a relationship which over time transforms them both...very interesting insight
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I'll try! You might look at the Wikipedia page for system dynamics, specially, just glance at the images, which visualize not just "stocks (of stuff) and flows (of that stuff)" but positive and negative feedback loops. A classic example would be if you have a bathtub with water flowing in through the tap and out through the drain. At first this looks like a chain that goes in one direction, but it gets more complicated. Specifically, how fast the water drains is related to the height of the water in the tub, but that height of water is also . . . related to how fast the water drains! The neat thing about systems like this is that they are very sensitive to initial conditions -- basically what the rates and water levels are right at the beginning give you very different outcomes, even if the system itself hasn't changed outside those presets. From there, you can calculate whether the tub will drain, or fill up and over flow, or reach a balance point somewhere. There are even different kinds of balance. Imagine a round bowl. If you put a marble on the sides, it rolls into the middle and comes to rest. That rest is a stable balance. If you turn the bowl upside-down and put the marble on the sides, it will just roll away from the center and off the bowl, never to return. You can balance the marble right at the top of the upside-down bowl, but that balance is unstable.
As for calc (which you might call the study of changes), I think it is easy to get some basic intuitions without doing calculation. If you imagine walking along a sine wave (or hiking up and down rolling hills), you are going up and down (how high you are) but there is also a matter of how steep you are climbing or descending (how steep the slope is where you are), and there is even an idea of how fast the steepness is changing. One big idea that follows from this is that when you're at the top or bottom of a hill, it is flat (the steepness is zero). If you walk in the straight line, you walk up one side, level off at the top, and then half to walk down the other side. It is when you're at the top of height or the bottom when you switch from climbing up to climbing down. The yin-yang symbol has two tear drop shapes with dots in them. Start at the point or tail of the yang tear drop where yang is small and growing towards the big round part of the drop where yang is at its height: there is a dot of yin in it, the beginning of yin. Then the tail of the yin teardrop is touching this big part. It's the start of yin growing. Then we get to where yin is greatest and find a dot of yang! Now yang begins growing and we're back where we started. We've gone around the circle. Walk up. Walk down. This sounds simple and obvious to the point of being silly, but it's a very useful mathematical concept. For example, if you look at the Wikipedia page for phasor, there is a great gif that illustrates how a sin wave is just going around a circle. (Animations really help make this more clear. Static images are struggle.
Ah yes systems theory I started reading a book about that after Wilber was chatting about it so much. Must circle back to that very interesting stuff but seemed like it needed more effort than a few minutes over breakfast every morning but I'll have a dip back in.
As for yin and yang wow that does sound really obvious and yet I don't think I'd thought of it that way before I really wanted to create a dynamic animation of yin and yang for the video with the dots growing to consume the other side in a constant dynamism but my skills just ain't there. That phasor animation is also very interesting. It's actually quite mesmerising to watch it flow up and down and it really does connect in with what you're saying about the peaks and troughs of yin-yang thank you for this fresh look on an old symbol
I think synchronicity is the language of the universe, in a nonverbal language that speaks to people without violating free will. Then again, I could be wrong but what do you think?
I had a dream when I lived in Africa for a few years of a friend and her mom, with a baby, left in a blizzard wilderness in the high mountains without blankets or extra clothing. I was just an observer-almost like a camera on a distant tripod. A man on a horse sentenced them to this horrible fate and rode into the distance. When I returned to the US I had dinner with my friend and she told me about her husband who committed suicide shortly after their child was born. And the timing of the dream lined up perfectly. I can't explain that one with logic. Synchronicity I think.
I completely relate to this, I had a period of time where the synchronicities were layered one after another, I'm also with that side of me that is doubtful...
The more you meditate, the more you’ll get those :)
@@indraakkouche7723 for sure! I meditate daily and actually, as part of this whole experience I began to feel energy and I also whirl (like a sufi) without getting dizzy. I can only describe it as a Kundalini experience, the energy was intense! It isn't easy to explain but the experience was profound, including the synchronicities 💓
@@OliveTree83 thank you for sharing this ☺️ beautiful !🙏🏻🙏🏻
💓thank you too
Can we get an update on the acorn tree??
A synchronicity is often a coincidence with moral or spiritual significance. An artifact of wholeness. It's illuminative in nature and often in the context of some sort of therapeutic event.
I get synchronicity after I heavily practice piano. If I overdo it, something within me gets very restless. And if I don't listen and stop at that point, later on some trigger happens to release all my suppressed emotions. Either something breaks or I accidentally hurt myself or get into a needless argument. Something that will lead me to the threshold and express those emotions I suppressed earlier. It isn't necessarily related to any spiritual experience, it happens in ordinary life.
In Redcar, Northeast England, a young male sperm whale beached on 31st May 2011, on the exact centenary of the launching of the Titanic. On the BBC news ('Look North') the next day, a man called Brian Cameron, an engineer, was interviewed at the scene. He said a piece to the camera about the plight of whales being beached and hunted, and how the whale could have been dragged out to sea to prevent it asphyxiating. He read a short 'poem' he had prepared, starting with "I call you Mowgly," (a twist on "Call me Ishmael" - the start of Moby Dick) then he went on to explain the name: 'MGY' from Titanic's call-sign, and 'owl', as a metaphor for the wisdom he hopes Man will find to save whales from being beached and hunted. Also, he compared the whale to Mowgli from the Jungle Book, raised by wolves, as Man is like the whale's wolves i.e. with a destructive side but with the potential for a nurturing side that could be developed to care for whales as the wolves cared for Mowgli. He then lay flowers a hundred or metres or so from where the whale was being cut up to be taken off the beach.
The reason I'm going in to such detail here is because, not only did the whale, named partially after Titanic by a man called 'Cameron', beach exactly 100 years after Titanic launched from Belfast, but also the location of the beaching at Redcar was PRECISELY at the same latitude as the dock in Belfast from where Titanic was launched.

Synchronicity is such a powerful force. Seems we must release the concept of separateness and embrace the interconnected Universe in order to correspond and witness the causal effects of consciousness
Are you in your parents' attic? Just kidding; I really liked this video and subscribed. I subscribed because you were talking about you waking up to check on your channel and subscriber numbers.
Haha I am actually! What gave it away? Glad you enjoyed the video I must post a photo at some point of how the oaks are doing these days
I wonder if two people see the same event like a sunrise or a wave crashing they preceded or interpret the event in a different way. That’s how I believe the internal mind can be different to what reality does.
Thank you for being you.
Haha thanks Dennis
I have synchronicities about moses i wasnt very religious sometimes i doubt god existence im a muslim but after moses synchronicities i had to believe its real ive seen it and i felt it. Moses synchronicities people with this name i meet very often the vesus in the qouran pop in the screen or radio strange people talk about his story to me randomly. Sticks and snakes everywhere it shows to me. But it only lasts for two months strong but short i wanted it back i felt safe. Even in my dreams it showed me. But now my synchronicities only numbers i want to have strong synchronicities is there anything i can do to have it?
Not sure if this is an example of synchronicity - I just read L’ homme qui plantait des arbres’ by Jean Giono as part of an environmental unit I’m doing with my class. About a man who single-handedly creates a forest by tirelessly sprouting and planting acorns. BEAUTIFUL story. You should read it or watch the short film animated by Quebecois artist Frederic Bach.
When it happens, words are not needed. Nothing needs to be explained. The soul knows. No woo woo needed.
you're very articulate
so did Jung believe in free will? Cause surely synchronicity is based on predetermination?
I get lots of synchronicity,To me it means my prayers have been heard from the world of spirit ,letting me know ,they have heard me x
When you said red car I was driving right next to one.
I'm curious when you are in atheist mode. Do you contemplate what material substance concepts are made out of? I've always wondered.
I think synchronicity is your brain connects the external with what will happen next, delaying the reality just enough to match it. Happened to me so many times before even in a group and with other individuals, both reacting the same at the same time.
It used to happen alot with music, my thought's conclusions would come at the same time as the best part of the song, that I never even heard before.
I know this because your dreams does this so many times, it pairs the external sounds with what your dreaming.
What I don't understand and it feels like confirmation bias, are the coincidences, such as you weren't hungry for hours and the first thing that you feel like eating is peanuts, you get up and walk around the living room to get some and at the same time someome else living with you reaches for them and starts eating them...
This also happens alot with serving water, people tend to pick up their glass more when you go serve water
I think instances such as that, the ones without meaning, are mere coincidences. Statistically speaking the universe is bound to formulate coincidences. Synchronicity, definitionally speaking, is a seemingly ‘coincidental’ event that overtly implies meaning.
@@somesweetdreamm I am sure the brain slows down reactions with reality to coincidentally match things.
for example it's is very common to dream things related to sounds happening outside, such as someone hammering somthing and in your dream you expierence somthing that is synchronized with the sound like rocks falling from the sky and only hit the ground when the hammer sound happens.
there is no way your brain can guess when the sound will come so the only explanation I got is it delays the sound recognition untill the thought synchronizes with it.
I've had plenty of dreams with this characteristic and awake I have had a few cases aswell such as listening to music I jave never heard before while brain storming, and reaching eureka moments at the exact entrance of the powerful bridge of the song playing.
Concise, brief and right to the point. Thank you for sharing your inner wisdom. This resonated right on time.
I prefer to say esoteric as opposed to the derogatory woo woo.
Thank you to the universe. I’m eternally grateful for this message and messenger.

Glad you enjoyed it Stewart and that it found you at the right time!
Not sure, based on the explanation that I have a clear idea about what Jung was trying to say about synchronicity. I like what he was saying but I am still a bit lost.....
