Intrinsically within the human experience are the various nuances which go along with your emotions, your thoughts, your beliefs; everything that makes up your life. It is one of the intentions as you live upon the earth that you have these experiences and that you respond to them.  You are creating your life. 

You create it through your intention.  You create it through your reality.  You create it through the reactions that you have in response to the experiences.  One may say that life is simple.  You need only to be in the flow of your divinity and things will happen, things will unfold for you.  Life is ever pleasant and balanced. 

Most people’s reality though consists of an intention to move into a direction;  an intention to experience, maybe particular work, relationships, the various things that make up your day.  Therefore as you begin to become very clear in your intention that you put out, not only to the universe but to those people in your everyday life, then your reality will change. 

You create the change.  It is reflected in your reality.  Your reality changes and it is reflected in your perception.  There is no one way in which your reality is influenced. 

It is more so about taking in everything, allowing it to percolate within and around you, then allowing yourself to express it outward in all that you do.  Remember you are more than this human that you are expressing in your life right now.  Remember that you are divine and that your God source energy is always there available to you.  This is another influence as you create your reality. 

Be open to all the various ways in which you receive information.  Be open so that you may live heart to heart with those within your life.

Understanding archetypal energies helps us to better understand the momentum of our lives, and to plan for ways to bring in or amplify energies that can help us write and implement new stories for ourselves. Archetypes appear within the collective unconscious we all share and in human cultures around the world and across time. Often, they are personified as figures such as the hero, the trickster, and the sage. Symbols that appear to you in dreams or when meditating may be manifestations of archetypal energies that are influencing you. Some may be human figures while others might be animals or even inanimate objects, such as a tree or a boat.

Archetypal energies are always affecting you, but you may not be conscious of their presence or effects. What is in your personal unconscious and the collective unconscious is hidden from your conscious mind. Dreams, Freudian slips, or strong feelings such as anger or shame that quickly and fiercely arise in a seemingly innocuous situation can be signs that universal, archetypal energies from your personal unconscious and the collective unconscious are active and influencing you.

Archetypes can influence you in different ways. You might experience the archetype of the fool as a playful clown, encouraging you to take life less seriously. Yet the same archetype might be experienced by someone else as a cunning and sophisticated court jester who dances on the edge of danger by revealing truth through humor. Your story and your everyday experiences influence how you perceive and are affected by any particular archetypal energy, and vice versa. There are benefits and downsides to all the many ways in which archetypal energies can influence you.

What archetypes seem to play a role in your life? Would you like to change them, or would you like to change how they influence you? How might you work differently with them to reap their benefits?

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” ~ Carl Sagan

Your conscious awareness is more unique to you than your fingerprint. You are more distinctive than a snowflake. Your independence has never before been experienced in all of the multiple histories of the universe, and it never will be experienced again. In fact, the only thing that trumps your unique independence is the meta-unique interdependence of the universe living through you. You are your very own double-edged sword, piercing time and space with a cut so exclusively sharp and so phenomenally inimitable that nobody else can wield it but you. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. As the famous Serbian Proverb states, “Be humble for you are made of Earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.”

Within the infinite cosmos is a finite universe that may or may not be part of an infinite multiverse, within which there are billions of galaxies, within which there are billions of stars. Orbiting around one of these stars are nine planets, and within one of these planets there exists over seven billion different brains. One of those brains just so happens to be yours, within which there is an infinite inner cosmos of billions of neurons making trillions of connections. These connections form the existential bedrock of your perception of reality. They lasso you to experiences that only you can have. In all of the world’s seven billion different human brains there exists seven billion different interpretations of something as seemingly simple as the concept of a triangle. Or any concept, for that matter. Even the concept of “concept” is interpreted differently, however minute that difference may be. We all might agree that a triangle is a triangle. We all might agree upon the definition of the word “triangle.” But we all have unique accumulated memories, our own feel, governing the concept of a triangle. Every single one of those memories are unique to us.

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.
~Albert Einstein

Synchronicities are more than happenstances, these experiences are expertly crafted to give us important messages at important junctures of our lives. When we begin to pay attention to when where and why and how they happen we then begin to notice a pattern emerging. Recognizing this pattern we learn to understand and master the principles of the Universe we interact with everyday.

Synchronicities are those moments of “meaningful coincidence” when the boundary dissolves between the inner and the outer. At the synchronistic moment, just like a dream, our internal, subjective state appears, as if materialized in, as and through the outside world. Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments in time in which there is a fissure in the fabric of what we have taken for reality and there is a bleed through from a higher dimension outside of time. Synchronicities are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality, as they are moments in time when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and openly reveals itself to us, offering us an open doorway to lucidity.

Synchronicity was one of Jung’s most profound yet least understood discoveries, in part because it cannot be appreciated until we personally step into and experience the synchronistic realm for ourselves. Jung’s discovery of synchronicity was in a sense the parallel in the realm of psychology to Einstein’s discovery of the law of relativity in physics. Because it is so radically discontinuous with our conventional notions of the nature of reality, the experience of synchronicity is so literally mind-blowing that Jung contemplated this phenomenon for over twenty years before he published his thinking about it. Jung’s synchronistic universe was a new world view which embraced linear causality while simultaneously transcending it.

A synchronistic universe balances and complements the mechanistic world of linear causality with a realm that is outside of space, time and causality. In a synchronicity, two heterogeneous world-systems, the causal and acausal, interlock and interpenetrate each other for a moment in time, which is both an expression of while creating in the field an aspect of our wholeness to manifest. The synchronistic universe is beginning-less in that we are participating in its creation right now, which is why Jung calls it “an act of creation in time.”

In short a Synchronicity is the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer.

In order to understand synchronicity as it appears now, has appeared in your past, and will appear in your future, let’s look at the circumstances in which synchronicity shows up in your life and at the patterns it takes—single incidents, strings, and clusters.

As you read the following descriptions, read actively. Scan your memory for similar events. Think of what’s happened to you in the last few weeks and months and see what patterns emerge.

We experience synchronicity most often when we’re open and aware, which in turn is affected by the outer conditions in which we find ourselves and the inner conditions in which we put ourselves.

• Special circumstances such as births, deaths, and times of upheaval are outer conditions that push us toward openness because, as the ground shifts beneath our feet, we feel more vulnerable.
• Mundane circumstances of daily life can be rich with synchronicity if we have the right inner conditions—if we make ourselves more open to the world through personal awareness and inner work
• Cycle or cyclic changes that come into your world. For example, at the present moment you have three new people in your life all with the same name. This could mean your life is setting up for some kind of shift or change. You may also begin to notice that your life flows in cycles. For example every about 7 or so years, a major change has come through your life.
