Synchronicity

[LightBeam]

I saw on another thread by Stillwater a topic about synchronicity and I decided to post about my most resent one. I posted it on another forum when that happened, I think it was about three weeks ago. I actually posted the first portion, just the OBE the morning after. Then on the same thread the TV program I watched, two days later, when it occurred, and the program on the National Geographic can be verified if you check the guide and the time.

It started as a dream. My family and I were at a resort on an exotic island. Our cabin was far from the beach, very far, but all of a sudden my mom got our attention and pointed that the water has come very close. I looked and the waves were washing just few feet away from us. At that moment we looked around and saw that the ocean level has risen so drastically that only a small portion of the island was still above. There was a hill side with statues on the top, Greek garden like. We ran to the top of the hill with other people, but the water started closing on us rapidly. I climbed on one of the statues and when the water started touching my feet, I really started panicking and at that time, in great disbelieve that this was happening, I said to my self. "This is too bizarre, it can't be happening. I just want to wake up. Please let this be a dream, please". I have a tremendous fear of drowning and as I started anticipating the lack of air I was about to experience, I started pinching myself on both arms, desperately wanting to wake up. Nothing happened, then I gave a command " I am out of body and I am flying" And so I did, I lifted myself up above the ocean and that reassured me that I was indeed OBEing. As much as I enjoy every OBE opportunity, this time I was so frightened, that I gave the command wake up.

Here is the synchronicity that occurred 2 days later. I woke up in the morning, turned the TV on and was trying to find something interesting. I was reviewing the guide, but nothing seemed to catch my attention. Then I decided to leave it on National Geographic where there was something about tsunamis.
The story they were showing was about the island Crete in Greece, which was swallowed by a giant tsunami 3000 years ago. The buildings and the statues were the same like from my dream. And the way they portrayed the event was just like I experienced it. I was speechless.
It is so weird that few days after my dream/OBE, I choose to watch a program which was showing almost the same type of event.

Cool.

Your heart can see a handful of seconds into the future. (yes, scientifically tested and proven statistically significant.) it will palpitate faster before a traumatic event even occurs.

If a heart can do that, who knows what the brain is capable of.

Cheers,

Hi,
@ lightbeam, did you have anyone elses feelings (emotions) too just before you managed to rescue yourself from drowning?
Its an experience and a half when it actually happens days later.

[Verveman]

Regarding the heart being able to see a few seconds into the future...I can attest to this:
I was in a meditative state with a movie on in the backround and with my eyes closed.  I wasn't paying attention to the movie at all and I had never seen the movie before.  All of the sudden I get a wave of energy and amplified heart rate.  With my eyes still closed I get this overwhelming RED color in my mind's eye.  (third eye maybe).  All I know is that it went from black to all of the sudden my vision was all red.  Then about four seconds later I was seemingly directed to the movie playing in the backround and the actor says..."BIG RED". 
My life pretty muched changed after that and my view of reality is now 180 degrees from before.  It felt like I had tapped into my higher self and that my higher self wanted to give me some sort nudge. 

[Contenteo]

Yeah, its a downright spectacular phenomenon. Statistically significant proven that the heart reacts around 4 seconds before something happens to you. It literally can see into the future. You can even see your emotions play out in the beat of your heart. i.e. mushy love give that little second wave a more rounded appearance, fear gives it a jarring spike.

I believe in the conceptual framework of Chakras, but not the cultural addendum to it. That it is and science comes secondary to new age religious beliefs. They come in tandem. With that said, I will say I see a correlation between what they dub the "heart" Chakra and it existing in the middle position alongside what a lot of people say here about the energized state you get in F12 is your 'heart' Chakra acting up.

I am curious how this phenomenon works with the greater concept of projection and vibrations as a whole. Undoubtedly, there is a link in there.

Cheers,
Contenteo

I decided to bump this to the top if anyone is interested to read. It's nice tp go back to my experiences from years ago. I still have synchronicity happening often, some small and some more major. Post your synchronicity experiences if you have noticed any. If not, just ask for this to happen and be on the look out. You will be amazed how well affirmations of nay types work.

[Nameless]

Glad you bumped LightBeam, some of these old threads are real doozies. And it's fun to add new observations years after the fact. But I'm still staying away from that 2012 thread - LOL!

I see synchronicity a lot. Most I just give a nod to and go on. Now last night I went to do a little meditation and out of nowhere a Castle flew in my face and was gone in an instant. I've no idea about that but am wondering if there will be a sync soon.

[Karxx Gxx]

Yeah, its cool how synchronicity can mean so many things.
1. if you beleive in certain numerology
2. basically what you interpret it as.

Like 'i was just thinking/doing this and this happened' which leads into the question 'why?'. From there you will always seeing support in WHATEVER path you are going.
After a while im like 'ok, snycronocity' whilst doing nothing different than the usual. Then when i make (or try to make) a big change in my life and i see a synchronocity, i really instigate it further. (usually concluding i need to definetly go in the direction of whatever i was doing/thinking/feeling)

As of recently, ever after I started to REALLY TRY a technique, things started working rapidily fast. I have had more realizations and such but the most important one, is that i changed my way of being by simply sitting into a different energy. One that helps guied me. And man, in this single day (also started today) i had many synchronicity inside my own house! haha.

Anywho. Yes, they are awesome and always show nothing but support! If you ever feel you cant help in some way, supporting is enough

[Vanessa]

I daily for 5 years have been seeing messages and numbers very frequently. I know 555 always brings change to me. The other numbers I'm not as clear on even though there are many descriptions from other people. Sometimes I just know things as well.

[LightBeam]

I'm resurrecting this old post because another synchronicity with Crete just happened again.
A few days ago this very LD just popped into my head. Out of hundreds I've had throughout the years, this one replayed in my mind. I wondered why am I recalling it. I didn't think much of it, and today I saw on the news that Crete was hit by 6.2 magnitude earthquake and they had issued a tsunami warning. I hope the tsunami doesn't happen, but there is a strong similarity with my LD. Noting like the cataclysmic event from my LD, but along the same lines. I must be strongly connected to Crete. I have to visits some day and see how I feel when I step on the land and go to the top of that hill. 

[baro-san]

I believe that not only the synchronicities that we observe, but also everything that attracts our attention is meaningful, and it is a conduit for a message from our inner source of knowledge and guidance, intended and tailored for that particular observer, for his instruction.

Each such observation can and should be intuitively interpreted by the observer as deeply he can, which should yield a constructive lesson and guidance for that particular observer. The deeper the interpretation, the more symbolical for the lesson and guidance the actual object of observation it is.

If I observed the same synchronicity a you did, it is very likely that the best interpretations for each one of us are different, satisfying our different needs to learn at this moment.

[baro-san]

As an example, there was a chain of events that brought to my attention this forum after a long time, that induced me to participate, and that provided me with several important new lessons and guidance, which are completely unrelated to any event in that chain.

Sometimes, after I go through the process, I discover that I had already missed one or more occasions to observe, so I was offered more opportunities to get the symbolical message.

[Adrian]

In my view synchronicities are very significant, and akin to "signposts" from the Universe, pointing in the right direction for some purpose.

As an example, if a person is engaging the power of the subconscious mind to "manifest" something into their experience, although it is possible to have something simply materialise before you, this is beyond most people. So for example, if someone decides to impress the subconscious mind for a new car, pointers will appear as synchronicities relating to that objective, for example, the opportunity to enter a competition to win the desired car, and the universe can orchestrate winning that competition. So yes, I agree, synchronicities are often, or even usually, pointers encouraging some sort of action.

[baro-san]

Your comment reminds of being prompted by my inner-guide to ask what are the long-term, medium-term, and now guidance. I got: "happy", "soul", "grind". Further intuitive interpretation: grind now, for the medium-term needs of your soul, and you'll achieve long-term happiness.

Wishing for and getting a car, winning a competition, in my understanding, don't matter for one's soul (actually you belong to your soul, and not vice versa; you aren't your soul either).

Those exemplify the difference between a spiritually beginner and a spiritually advanced seeker, as also expressed by the 12th century sufi monk Ibn al-Arabi in his "The Meccan Revelations", book 4 (konya) chapter 47. He writes that the beginner seeker experiences immediate pleasures (in his dreams, in a larger sense), while the advanced seeker (who "knows God") has left behind such pleasures for a path that the beginner would see as dread, but which is the only path to advancement (as required by God).

[Adrian]

tuitive interpretation: grind now, for the medium-term needs of your soul, and you'll achieve long-term happiness.

Wishing for and getting a car, winning a competition, in my understanding, don't matter for one's soul (actually you belong to your soul, and not vice versa; you aren't your soul either).

Absolutely true. A person that is no longer under the influence of the ego, desires nothing material at all, because they know they already have everything, we are the Universe, it is within us, and are therefore already complete in every way. Only the ego desires things of the material world, for the sake of owning it, as opposed to genuinely bringing joy to the Heart

"People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even further from Reality than before." ~ Rumi

"Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself." ~ Rumi

Edit: Regarding the Soul - the Soul is transient, held back by the ego, which constitutes the Astral Body of the Astral realms. When a Soul in the Astral has freed themselves of desires and all other traits, and therefore the of ego, vibration rises and Astral body, Soul, dissipates, and continues as a Spiritual Being, united and One with the Higher Self, within the Spiritual realms. Then the Path to full Source realisation really begins.

Good morning 

That's very interesting LB, please let us know if you ever get to Crete as you've expressed in your post. I had a strong synchronicity yesterday too. It was so strong it caused me to pause, thank God and feel the expansion of Love in my Heart. Even though it was simple and not as doomsday in comparison, that we both experienced such unique alignment made me feel like we are more similar than we realize.

Man I'm swelling with satisfaction and comfort reading your guys post- we all share a similar understanding towards this phenomenon. And Adrian, what a beautiful quote by Rumi. So humbling... Another one to screenshot and archive for personal reflection~

I agree with baro-san to observe and allow your intuition to speak and with Adrian that it is a message from "Universe" that you're on the right track...

That message from Universe may be better understood as a message from God. For me, my experiences yesterday, it was God reminding me of his(or hers for those who think it matters) presence in my life. That was it. But that simplicity is probably the most profound. I read something the other day that really stuck with me. Unified but not uniformity. That's how it is, and that's what I prefer. We are unified by the acknowledgment of a God supreme- You can call God Universe but God is more than that, and is able to manipulate Universe materials to speak to our inner most self in ways that defy and challenge our understanding of self. The reality of his grandeur is both mind and heart shattering as well as expanding and transcendental.


--Most Friday morning's I walk with my Dad and our two dalmatians. This Friday I decided to skip and instead go to a grocery store I would normally never go to. It's too far for me and living in one of the worlds most populated cities, I had to drive through what I coin as the armpit of highways(a place where the chances for accidents increase exponentially). I went because some weeks ago my Sister recommended a new coffee for me to try(and where to find it). I produce cold brew coffees for my work, and in need of something new- took my sisters advice. When I got to the market I couldn't find what I was looking for but instead, standing in the coffee section, found someone I had once known from over 5 years ago. We couldn't believe it, I explained to him I was here by chance- I was getting goosebumps. He told me it felt fated. Not only that, he was in charge of the very section I found myself in and was able to direct me to the desired beans I had been looking for. It ended with him taking a picture of us, and us exchanging contact info. I very much doubt we will keep in touch, 5 years had passed. But whatever exchange occurred in that moment acknowledged a greater force than ourselves. Me sharing my goosebumps, him sharing his thoughts about Fate. And on the drive home I felt so much love from God- as if by surprise. Here I was not looking forward to driving in the swampy traffic, and not thinking of anything special- when suddenly this happened. --Maybe not just for my benefit either.

But that's not all... Yesterday was my Mothers last day for work, she is officially entering into retirement. She's a private school teacher for special need students. She had an amazing lunch with her coworkers and by the end of the day Dad took her out for dinner. They went to their favorite spot, only- it was unusually crowded. Not thinking they needed to call ahead of time, there was no where to sit. That's when my Dad recognized someone, and at the same time, that someone recognized my Dad. A woman he had known from before, an acquaintance much like the man I ran into earlier in the Day. She invited them to her table. It was a very nice gesture. My Mom starts the conversation with her and ask how she's doing- the woman replies that she is having a great day and shares with my Mom that she's at this particular restaurant celebrating her retirement- she tells Mom that she was a private school teacher and today was her last day. Mom was floored, because that was the exact reason my Mom was there too.

I only know of this story because I called Mom last night to wish her a happy retirement and congratulations. I took it as an opportunity to remind her of God as being alive and present in her life. Using the same words as Adrian, "it's as if the Universe is speaking to you, and showing you everything is happening at the right time. that you are on the right track." She agreed...

What really took me back was that, even though she acknowledged that moment as special and worth holding on to... She said even cooler then that was the fact that her lunch with her co-workers went so smoothly. These are people that are usually at odds-ends with one another... Except that day everyone was respectful and showing their gratitude for the other. There was peace like none before, and the Love that came from her voice for that moment really stuck with me. Maybe that was my lesson...

Sometimes the profound from the simplicity is too much for us to actualize. But more important is the realization of this Living, Guiding Intelligence... And just as important, if not more, is the good will shared among the children of this Loving Universe...

[LightBeam]

What a great input from everyone! I am so grateful for all of you! Your comments gave me the answer to my synchronicity.  I've always wanted to explore more, to go for adventures, but I only day dream for big trips and dont make plans to take actions. Now going back to examine what gives me bliss and excitement the most, I only think about, but dont take actions. And I realized that we must take actions for things we want to manifest. Thinking and feeling as if they were real is not enough. We have to recognize the opportunities and take actions to experience them. And I haven't been doing that.

Tides, what an incredible chain of synchronicities not only with you but your family members. Incredible!

Baro-san, as usual very wise words, which made me come to my realization of what was I lacking in the equation.

Adrian, I feel exactly the same way. I KNOW that I AM everything and I HAVE everything. For that reason I dont stress about this life and materialism. I just strive to have fun and get exposed to as much variety of experiences as I can because I perceive myself as an observer above all. I like to observe how things unfold not only for me but for others and recognize the hidden purpose of existence. Meaning "hidden" on a character level, but I can see it clearly and that frees me from judgement, it gives me peace.

Here is how I see my true self vs my character self. A few days ago I had the visual that my true self is infinite awareness/energy that is every where all at once, all knowing and all powerful, one with everything, all that is. But that force starts pushing a wall of some sort that is malleable and flexible. As the force presses on that wall on the inner side of the wall I see hands and legs taking shape, a head ( a human body), my character's body. The force is poking through a simulation and with the "eyes" and "senses" of that malleable wall is now observing a story in a simulation energy environment. But that force is not fully on the inner circle of the wall, it has not incapsulated inside this "body". It is only "wearing " partially these sleeves to poke through the window of this simulation. Just like if you wear your jacket backwards just to put your arms in the sleeves and the zipper part is on your back but you leave it open, you cant zip yourself up in the back. The same way the force (the true you) is free at this very moment, is infinite and powerful, never trapped anywhere. But if that force focuses fully on the "eyes" and "senses" of that malleable wall it will perceive if it's just that small and fractions, isolated, trapped. But even someone may think that, these thoughts are not a fact, they are an illusion. The true self is still infinite and powerful, every where all at once with no beginning and no end. Having this visual and understanding of who am I gives me better opportunity not to react negatively to challenging situations of this simulation. I know that I am just poking through temporary into this game, not fully incapsulated into anything. Actually even the partial wearing of these "sleeves" is also a simulation, just a different perception designed for a specific purpose to rediscover one's self from infinite points of view.

[baro-san]

In the nomenclature of my model of the wider reality, my soul is a gestalt entity, that dynamically manifests personalities through which experiences, in order to acquire knowledge, and grow wisdom, to evolve.

The entity chooses to manifest those personalities in various learning frameworks, one of them being this physical universe framework, with its specific root assumptions.

A personality has an outer-ego part that faces and acts when the personality is focused, awake, in the physical through its outer 5 senses.

It also has an inner-ego, inner-self, through which it acts when focused in the non-physical (from our perspective: altered states of consciousness including sleeping, dreaming, projecting , trances, ...), through its inner-senses.

In between those egos, there is sandwiched its subconscious. That subconscious becomes smaller, trending to disappearance, as personalities get more and more evolved, way beyond those that incarnate in this physical framework.

I understand reality being, at all levels, dynamic gestalts of gestalts, elements associating based on affinities.

Evolvement implies deeper infinite expansion of reality, through deeper and deeper discrimination.

At all levels, growth implies evolving through stages: ignorance, foolishness, humility, expertise / wisdom.

Ignorance: you know that you don't know;
 foolishness: you don't know that you don't know;
 humility: you don't know that you know;
 expertise / wisdom: you know that you know.

Foolishness is the most painful stage, and it is unavoidably part of the growth: you believe that you know (you are sure of it), while you don't.

[Frostytraveler]

I have engaged with many in the "Ignorance and Foolishness" stages. It can be frustrating and somewhat of a risky venture to be too close to them while they navigate this path. When they eventually realize they are in this stage, and that things aren't as they first appeared to them,  they often deny it, which hinders their growth. The ones that don't deny nor attempt to rewrite history truly grow Spiritually. From my experience the latter is the exception to the norm.. unfortunately.  To grow one must learn from their past decisions as one enters the "humility and wisdom" stages. It is a bit unsettling to see similar mistakes and improper assessments being made over and over again by the same individuals engaged in similar circumstances. Perhaps it is just their lesson/path or perhaps they are just failing their lesson that they are here for.

The psychology of Spiritual evolution is a fascinating topic.
