Synchronize Yourselves
Nah! This is not a movie review about a movie I haven't even seen. But this is about something more real and more me.
It's about 9:20 a.m. in my computer and I just rose from the dead. I only got roughly 5 hours of sleep this morning. A few minutes ago, I was kind of sleepy and bored by the thought of another bumming day. I turned on my laptop and started "bloghopping", then, I came upon this article by Jamie. It is about synchronicity.
What is synchronicity?
Well, Jamie did give it a more than enough definition stated in more than one way. But I have this favorite definition - it is not so much as a coincidence as a natural result of being aligned with the universe (or God). This means that the synchronicity concept coincides with that of God's will. Besides the insatiable connection with God, what interested me most is that this synchronicity has been happening to me for a long time in different occurrences. Thus, it can be said that I am experiencing synchronicity.
I made a slight research on the topic and I found this psychologist who studied about synchronicity, Carl Jung (1875-1961). He made various studies as a psychologist to find evidence to prove the "oneness of man and universe". He found synchronicity. Unfortunately, like the scientists before him, he was branded as a wacko.
A classic example of synchronicity is you drive to a place where parking is "next to impossible" and someone pulls out of a parking spot or it is just waiting for you. Synchronicity is basically being supplied with a need at a moment wherein you least expect it, tight in the moment of need.
Me and Synchronicity
With that being said, I found another synchronicity! I have been looking for something that would make me reach the state of "bloginess" for almost a week now, and this synchronicity is that something! What a synchronicity!
I am finding this synchronicity stuff really nifty. It's like explaining the random connections of this world, in a pseudo-scientific way.
Maybe it's synchronicity when my parents brought a Happy Meal at a night when I was really hungry. Maybe it is synchronicity when I found out that we (me and Monique) stared at the same moon and stars though we are miles away. Maybe it is synchronicity when saw her and I felt the first rush of love flow through my veins.
Well, everybody has their synchronicities. It's a beautiful phenomenon. But what really intrigues me is the fact this is just a fraction of the truth about God's infinite plan. Even though it's a nice thought that it is impossible to find no similarity in thoughts for every million people, it's a more comforting thought that synchronicity is God's way of manifesting himself to us - only if we can connect the dots.
Want more synchronicity?
