Synchronicity

I think that we try to comprehend and explain synchronicity, primarily by trying explain the sensation of it or our observation of when it happens. But I think that we cannot really explain synchronicity because it is in an energetic realm beyond our full comprehension. I think there is an energetic dynamic that plays out between people, and influences interactions and circumstances in ways that we are not fully aware. I think that dynamic is so complex that it creates a design in the universe of what happens, when people meet, how things occur. Our sensation of synchronicity is when we trust in that design and go with the flow of it, rather than trying to control it or put rationality to it. We surrender to what is happening in the present and embrace it as synchronicity. It is easiest for us to embrace the notion of synchronicity and greater design when we observe it occurring with people we choose to be close to, such as our partner and close friends. We open to a degree of trust and intentional thought, and that enables us to open our eyes and see how things are happening. Particularly when things are happening in a favorable or pleasant way, it is easier for us to accept the idea that things are happening exactly as they should, and that our energetic dynamic is playing out in our experience with another person. For example, when a person calls another person and that person was just about to pick up the phone to call them. I think this energetic dynamic is happening all the time, synchronicity is happening all the time, we just don't easily recognize when it is not favorable and difficult to accept. For example, when a person loses a job, the tendency is to put the blame externally on other people or external factors rather than to see the possible ways one could have influenced and brought upon that unfortunate circumstance themselves. I think it is challenging to explain synchronicity because we have limited vocabulary and understanding of the energetic realm, and we have a propensity to observe synchronicity in some circumstances but not others.

I believe we are all connected. I think we are connected to people in different degrees depending on their proximity to us, but nonetheless every human as some affect on another. It reminds me of a story I heard once about a butterfly wing flapping whose ripples through the air could be felt across the world.

I think that meditation is a very useful tool that can help one gain an understanding of energetic power. After being in a room where a group of people have meditated, the energetic shift to a state more peaceful and calm is clearly perceivable. The energetic shift in a person who has meditated, and the effect that person has on other people, is also perceivable after meditation. These are simple ways that prove how thoughts and energetic quality have an influence on our experience and what happens in the world.
