Synchronicity or Mere Coincidence

Synchronicity or Mere Coincidence

The more you believe in and affirm the unison of your highest and best thoughts, feelings and desires the more you are likely to experience life as a synchronistic adventure. - Dr. Robert Anthony

What is Synchronicity?

Merriam Webster says Synchronicity is:

The simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related AND have discernible causal connection.

It was a term created by Carl Jung, a Swiss Psychotherapist who believed in a collective unconscious.  .."there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.”

It's part of the intuitive self, connected to the universe, the collective conscious, and matter, beyond one's physical limitations that brings into existence occurrences that appear to happen only by chance or coincidences that may lead to a greater understanding of a situation, problem, question, or event.  I like to think of it as God's way of sending guidance or clues that he is listening to your hopes, thoughts, and knows your conscious.  Scientifically speaking, your thoughts are energy that are sent out on airwaves and when there is a meeting with either purpose or 'like' thought, then it manifests in reality through coincidences or synchronicity.

An Example of Synchronicity: 

You're thinking about calling your friend, the phone rings, and it's the friend you were just thinking of calling.  Coincidence?  Or, you've been thinking about an old friend, and you 'coincidentally' run into that old friend.

What are you supposed to do when it happens? Ask yourself what it means.  Is it part of a greater question you've asked of God or the universe?  Perhaps its giving you part, if not the entire answer.  Many view synchronicity as guidance from the divine, or the universe or your higher power.

How Can We Attract Synchronicity

• Direct your energy onto something
• Ask questions of God/Higher Power/Universe
• Trust in the Universe
• Recognize the beauty in all things and maintain a peaceful mind
• Allow Your Energy to Flow
• Increase Your Awareness of these Connections
• Focus on What You Want to Attract
• Visualize Your Dreams/Goals/Desires and believe you can manifest them in reality
• Be Just and Fair; acting with reciprocity knowing that Karma is a factor

​ Synchronicity is evidence that you are 'in sync' with your thoughts and the universe. 

It's an assurance that You Are Right Where You Need to Be
