Week 3: Synchronicity/Connectivity

What evidence can you find for synchronicity?

In my own life there are countless examples of the evidence of synchronicity, each and every day. I wake in the middle of the night, feeling my friend awake, in pain, distressed. This happens for several nights. He is going through radiation and suffering. I have agreed to sit with him in his suffering and do so at night when neeeded. I wake to his anguish and start the remote healing practice that i am learning. In the morning I wake feeling the anxiousness of a friend, later to find out that he was indeed frantically preparing for a presentation. I proceed to meditate and find myself engulfed with visions, visions that may or may not come about. Only to be revealed in the future. I go to the grocery store and am called to look in the window of the shoe store next-door and there are some boots that i had asked the universe for, sitting there, only one size, my size, on sale. I didn't buy them. Free will. I return home to start studying. Decide to blogg. Read articles about synchronicity. Some of the questions that have been floating around in my head are addressed in these very articles. And so this takes me to three in the afternoon. That's just part of one day. I suppose I could tell lavish stories of visions, "ghosts," spirit guides, premonitions, ESP, conversations and guidance from ones passed, all to try and convince others of my experience of synchronicity. But like we talked about in class on Thursday, people many times have to have the experience themselves in order to have some sort of perception or understanding of it. So I leave the "prooving" of synchronicity to others, courageous people ready to take it on.

Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?

Based on what I know to be true, at the age of 32, I would explain connectivity according to a vision that I have. I see a very long umbilical chord connecting me to the Earth. This umbilical chord not only connects me to the Earth, but people, places, things, animals, all of life essentially. I am floating around in an open space, darkness all around, but am connected through this long chord, and stay that way regardless of trauma, movement, stillness, excitement, depsair. The chord is ever-present, tying me, whether I like it or not, to all around. I am connected. I am.
