- Synchronicity: Symbolic Guidance for Individuation.
A webinar with Dr. Keiron Le Grice
Monday February 1, 2021.
C.G. Jung’s theory of synchronicity, referring to the “meaningful coincidence” of an inner experience and an outer event, has radical implications not only for depth psychology, but also for our understanding of the nature of reality at large. At a personal level, synchronistic experiences can provide invaluable guidance for the individual’s life journey, serving as a form of symbolic revelation of the intentions and purposes of the Self in the course of individuation.
Join Dr Le Grice to learn more about synchronicity and the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifica.
“In cases of synchronicity . . . it is as if the cosmos knows what we are thinking and feeling, that the cosmos itself is aware of our personal situation, and seeks, through a symbolic line of communication, to convey a message to us about our life. Consequently, synchronicities are often accompanied by a feeling of numinosity. Moments of synchronicity are pregnant with meaning and with mystery, evoking a sense of a barely conceivable order connecting the events of life. On encountering a synchronicity, the universe seems positively infused with meaning and one gets the sense that one’s own life, far from being inconsequential or random, is actually of tremendous importance. One feels at such times that the universe, or some organizing power behind the universe, cares about us, as it were, and that there is a greater purpose to what we are doing. For this reason synchronicities, on occasion, may come with the force of a spiritual revelation.”
--Keiron Le Grice, The Archetypal Cosmos
I came across this video because I’m experiencing a LOT of synchronicities. I mean a LOT! At one point a few years ago, once I learned about the “bread crumbs “ I made the intention to follow them (life changing moments) when they showed up. And learning how to spot them has taken a few years but, now I’m becoming more in tuned, tapped in to spotting the various ways synchronicities come through.
Regarding what they might mean; in my case, they are very precise. I know exactly what they are leading me to. It’s been going on for the last 5 months. There’s a specific person that all syncs keep pointing me to pay attention to. I’m constantly experiencing the right timing. Or I watch just the right video that specifically talks to my experience. Or a tv show. Or, when I’m having a conversation with someone about my experience and they ask me questions that do in fact make me wonder why they asked that specific question. Which in turn, causes me to think of a moment that I didn’t think had meaning but, I realize the connection.
I’ve been journaling and it’s fascinating to look back and see how things keep progressing.
It definitely feels like magic. Like when we were kids and we only lived in the moment, without cares about paying bills or what’s going on in the world.
The journey back to self, the sacred Union… You are on your way, I can relate to everything you are saying. It’s great to find people with similar experiences, sometimes you will discover this, but there’s nobody to share or that knows what you are talking about.
@@sabrinaszabo9355 It’s so true in that this experience isn’t something that many people have. Rather unique I’d think for the human race. Whenever I’ve attempted to explain it, no one really understands as it is so personal to me. Union with Self. I’ll have to meditate on that. Thus far, my understanding of this is, relationship with self. A rendezvous with the truth self if I’m not mistaken?
I’d love a dialogue with you, knowing you’ve had similar experience.
Synchronicities suggests that either god knows everything that will happen in the future & our lives are already drawn out? Or that that we are all part of gods mind! (Boltzmann theory) Or both.. I love synchronicity.. it’s like deja vu.. rather than than thinking the past has replicated it is a prediction of a future happening
I have discovered a relationship between science, spirituality, leading me to JUNG. I
As I was listening to this I was thinking of how inspirational the song GODS OF WAR is to me, yet I had never encountered it until recently when I really found myself drawn into the music of Def Leppard. A kinship feeling. I actually paused this video as I was simultaneously thinking of the song. I knew Steve Clark was about my age. Turns out having looked him up just now, he and I share the same birth month and birth year!
My wife thinks it is kooky of me to suggest this is a synchronicity, but to me it is as Kieron says, the collective unconscious is pulling me to do something of significance and risk that might have benefit for the greater good! ✨😺💫
Everything is connected throughout various disciplines, religion, history, etc. on a macro and micro level. I have such an internal understanding-But paradoxically as the world is, I cannot connect or share it with anybody. Is it a tragedy, or a comedy. It’s up to us to choose, and that knowledge, that choice, is true enlightenment, and
The notion of cause and affect are universal laws, they operate outside of linear time… That being said,How know the effect was not the cause?
In plan language it's energy
ummm in regards to the scarab thing.....you do know it was set up right ? he had an assistant put a beetle near the window in that session, he was outside in the bushes near the window...the beetle was in a small match box kind of thing....
Holy shit.
In other's words one's criticisms can be biased like towards materialism, nominalism, thinking, feeling etc.
I was looking up a person and the very next day I got a TH-cam response on another channel from someone with the very same fist snd last name of the person I had been looking up the day before .
I’ll be thinking of a person so much eat lunch T a random park look down on table and their name with a heart carved huger right on my spot? I am listening to the radio or the TV and the person on the radio or the TV repeats the same word or two or three words in a row as I do at the same exact time for example, something is odd as making donuts and I heard on a podcast at the same time I was saying it to my daughter. ??? Wtf ? My understanding is I’m not sure what they’re supposed to be leading me to is this some secret puzzle is this sum yes or no to a question I might need to know or is it just letting me know that we’re in a matrix and it’s all lined up by thought in imagination quantum physics it’s not real tilll I think of it.
lol watching this with 111 likes…. Seeing 1111 5555 heavily lately
I’ve been seeing these numbers a lot. They have a special meaning attached to them for me. Soon I’ll be able to tell what it means to me.
I don't think Jung's ideas can be reworked or reframed. I have heard that idea before in the year 2003 in the course descriptions of a catalogue I sent for through the mail from a school which taught a completely online Ph D in Jungian psychology. I had to conclude that it was probably the result of a superficial knowledge of Jung's ideas. I've read all of Jung's collected works and the books of the post Jungians, so I reject the idea that there are different Jungian schools. There is only one Einstein's special and general relativity which I have read and these are physical first principles so they will never be invalidated. I am not against criticism though because I think that one should learn to use and apply the principles of a subject, discipline or domain before one should think about criticism. Wanting to improve a system of principles is noble, but take in mind that the person doing the criticizing is limited to their knowledge of the system which may be incomplete. Therefore, criticisms can be refuted. It is always a good Idea to have all criticisms open to debate and rebuttal. One has to know the whole system before one can criticize it. On the other hand criticism which have been proven wrong should not be thrown away since they are good mental exercises of the epistemology versus teleology and the limitation of a person's ideology and perception, the one sided attitude of the conscious mind.
Well said. Refreshing and appreciated.
