Synchronicity is not Psychosis

Synchronicity
Synchronicity is an explanatory principle, according to its creator, Carl Jung. Synchronicity explains "meaningful coincidences," such as a beetle flying into his room while a patient was describing a dream about a scarab. The scarab is an Egyptian symbol of rebirth, he noted. Therefore, the propitious moment of the flying beetle indicated that the transcendental meaning of both the scarab in the dream and the insect in the room was that the patient needed to be liberated from her excessive rationalism. His notion of synchronicity is that there is an a causal principle that links events having a similar meaning by their coincidence in time rather than sequentially. He claimed that there is a synchrony between the mind and the phenomenal world of perception.

One of the most increasingly important issues facing humanity is that history contains virtually no widespread familiarity with synchronicity and many examples of what is referred to as "insanity" or "psychosis." People with alternative experiences of reality have been conveniently institutionalized throughout the ages because society does not favor diversity as much as it favors order and maintaining the status quo.

As a counselor I have worked with people who have felt that the television or the radio was talking to them. When I started this work I was trained only in mainstream counseling and was unfamiliar with any concepts of synchronicity as they applied to people diagnosed with schizophrenia. I assumed that the individual was having what is commonly referred to as ideas of reference, which is defined as a form of psychosis in which people believe their environment is communicating to them. People tend to become paranoid when they feel messages are intended for them and for them only.

Once you understand that the universe is constantly communicating to you and everyone else at all times and in many ways, you no longer need to feel as though there is something wrong with you. There is nothing special about experiencing synchronicity. In the future it will be the norm, as common as any other daily event. For now, those who have become open to the experience of synchronicity must understand that they are indeed mentally healthy.

If you turn on the radio in your car and it has a song that relates directly to what you are thinking about, that doesn't mean that the radio is literally "speaking to you" (except in the sense that the Universe is communicating to you in a way that you may interpret for your own guidance). Another person on the other side of town may very well be having a similar experience with that same song at the same time if they are also aware of synchronicity. As humanity becomes more attuned and operates in harmony, we will find that we all go through similar cycles. Astrology and Biorhythm Analysis are based on the idea that we go through cyclical phases. If you understand that we are all spiritually interconnected then it makes much more sense. If one part of the body is ill, the other part is likely to be affected.

Our great goal is to stop fighting against our cosmic body...stop fighting against each other...and thus stop fighting against ourselves.

Synchronicity is the principle that can help us become aware not only of our individual goals and issues, but of our universal connectedness. As we work harmoniously towards ending war, hunger, and poverty, we will exponentially increase our power. We will find that we are all guided towards the same goal which is to live in a constant state of unconditional love, fully accepting ourselves and others as they are. In this environment we will know what it truly means to be human. ~by Mystic Life~
