Synchronicity

I believe the Universe is as it is. "Synchronicity", the word and concept, is what we call it when we make meaning of our experiences. We may view the meaning as originating from an external source (a message we are supposed to read), from within ourselves (an experience of creating our reality) or both (being one with god, universe, the source).Either way, it is our consciousness that chooses to focus on or accept the meaning of the (synchronistic) event and move forward based on the belief that it matters.

Humans are information processing beings. We receive, respond to and supply, vast amounts on sensory data all the time. We can choose (or not) to give 'meaning' to events and experiences. If we do, the meaning is often known or apparent to ourselves alone. But we can share our stories and usually the amazingness of the connections are apparent to those listening.

My experiences in synchronicity have lead me to think of my life and existence itself as a vast and miraculous sea. There are currents that flow in a million different directions. I may be part of several currents at once, move in and out of currents, I may even share presence in a current with others. Experiencing a synchronistic event for me is like being in one stream (or current) and becoming aware of the draw or simple presence of another. I get to choose to move into that stream if it feels right. Sometimes, the synchronisitic even comes after a change of course. It feels like changing currents and receiving a great gusty wind, moving me even further on my new course.

ONE OF MY BEST STORIES IN SYNCHRONICITY:
Several years ago, I was in a desperate situation in which I suffered extreme stress. One day I inquired at an ATM about my balance, which I expected to be around $400. To my surprise, my balance read $10,400. For a brief moment, I believed some long lost relative had come forth to support me, some wonderful knight in shining armor or fairy god mother really believed in me....I experienced a visceral sense of immense possibility. Though the physical sensation was immense, and I believed completely in the miraculous, the feeling only lasted about 5 seconds until my "rational" mind said "No way, go in the bank and see what's wrong" Sure enough, something wacky was going on with the ATM and according to IT, EVERYONE had 10,000 extra dollars in their account. Well, that was no surprise to me; nothing good like that EVER happened to me.

A few days later, in desperation, I called an acquaintance I had just met, hoping to receive some good advice about my situation. After spending the day with me and sharing stories and experiences with each other she told me she would like to support me through my difficult time. She offered to help in several ways, one of which was monetarily. And guess how much she wrote the check out for? $10,000!!!!!!!!!
