Maybe you aren't paying attention to them.
And then again I think I am sitting here with many piles of scraps. I am trying to make a whole experince and instead I am stuck on the details of this one piece or that one piece. I haven't yet figured out the birds eye view
Hmmm yes, I'm doubtful about the use of chasing down every coincidence for meaning. I actually think true guidance can be a lot more direct, in hunches, feelings and so on, and that people can get lost when they begin to treat the world like some big puzzle to be de coded.
I'm not saying ignore them but I also don't think one should place too much importance on them.
An invitation is the key, from my perspective; open the door and wait. Sort of a hex 20 state of mind.
I had a very long and involved dream about an actor whom I hadn't seen or thought of in many years. When I told my wife about the dream, she told me that she had just read a long article about the actor.
Has anyone had experince with this that they want to share?
What did it mean at the time and what does it mean now?
Do you still see it the same way?
I am trying to understand this for my own life and I am not sure that I have ever had an experience that I would call synchronicity.
Thanks
What did it mean at the time and what does it mean now?
the cord was under the bed. Could be pure statistics that explain that... or not.Penetration under the bed.Priests and magicians are used in great number.Good fortune. No blame.
I mostly experience it as coincidence.
http://angelicinsights.blogspot.com/2008/05/cledon.htmlThe "Cledon"
I was listening to a radio show by intuitive Colette Baron Reid and she was talking about an interesting concept called the "cledon." Originating from ancient Greek culture when people consulted the oracle of Apollo to ask a question, the concept of a cledon is where other unsuspecting people are used by God (in those day, the belief was in polytheism, in many gods) to convey a message to the inquiring person. In the past, this was through getting a message through overhearing a conversation between others, or when someone else who doesn't know about one's question answers it. In this day, it's also likely through seeing a headline or a billboard, or through hearing a certain song on the radio, or even watching something on TV.
This is my biggest problem. On the Enneagram I am 5. They are all about intellect- feelings come as a last option if at all. So feeling something as important is not something I natually lean to. My brain says yea or nea then maybe in a day or two my feelings might kick in. But by this point my brain has already devalued it or talked it up so much I can't see it any other way but significant (even when it's not).Two Geese I think to pick up what's important you need to check your own sense of it. If it holds your attention, if get a certain feeling then it's likely significant for you. If however your brain, your intellect notices it as a coincidence/synchronicity but there is no feeling connection then it can be seen perhaps as random.
Pareidolia. It is a skill I cultivate.

I am working on this.
This would make my life much easier but is sounds kinda scary to just trust in the outcome. My personal fear, "what if your wrong? or read the message incorrectly?"
Yes. And we were just speaking of labels on blogs...Don't enneagrams just make people categorise themselves into stereotypes don't they ?
This makes sense to me. I can completely relate to the hands knowing WAY more than my brain. I do this a lot with books, herbs and yarn. One of my dogs has seborrhea. I put together an herbal infusion for her- I just grabbed stuff- did not even pay much attention (Chickweed, Cleavers, Comfrey) anyway it cleared up in about 3 days. It was a really bad case too-covered her entire back. Anyway, yes! the body has much more wisdom than my brain.By 'feeling' I don't necessarily always mean emotion, I also mean simply observing what you are inclined to do.
It's the big decisions that I find the most frightning but this really makes sense. So for instance, I find myself getting sucked in by my brain with thoughts of making art and how I am not doing that- I beat myself up about it but really I am not even drawn to it right now- instead I would rather be putting herbs together, being with my animals and nature, reading etc. Basically anything other than making "art".Well I guess 'outcome' isn't generally an issue like in the examples I described above. If you mean bigger decisions well even then you can tell by noticing what you are actually doing. Like if you were choosing between doing dance and drama at college you could notice how much time you were actually spending on each one. ?
Sutton Hoo
My closest neighbor is a Sutton. He owns land next to us, and yesterday wanted to replace a drainage pipe under a farm road that separates his property from ours, and my brother-in-law gave him permission. I did not understand the exact location and was greatly concerned because owners of that property in the past have attempted to turn drainage water onto us. This is a continual threat to anyone who owns land because improper drainage can turn farmland into a swamp. However, the pipe in question is between a graveyard given by my grandfather to an African-American church, and the road -- so I understand -- is his property, so he can do as he wants, only I do not want the graveyard damaged. Sutton Hoo was a Saxon graveyard, and Mrs. Pretty, who was its owner, deserves a posthumous metal from the crown for her preservation of a major part of English culture
I don't understand what you mean Tom. Is there meant to be something significant here?
Hmmm yes, I'm doubtful about the use of chasing down every coincidence for meaning. I actually think true guidance can be a lot more direct, in hunches, feelings and so on, and that people can get lost when they begin to treat the world like some big puzzle to be de coded.
I'm not saying ignore them but I also don't think one should place too much importance on them.
.Yes, much significance.
Sutton: both neighbor and Sutton Hoo
Graveyard: both with neighbor and Sutton Hoo
Mounds: both at Sutton Hoo and in the graveyard here.
Importance of the past. Topal's hungry ghost.
And, of course, oo is like a pipe. It resembles hexagram 30.
Please note that Hoo is very close to my last name. Also chanted by Sufis.
I should think more about this
if you find personal meaning in linking Sutton Hoo and the pipes and graveyards then of course maybe it's significant to you. Let us know what it means for you.
I think that is a good point - trying to find synchronicities might make us miss the actually important ones. There is a difference between being open to something, and seeing it everywhere (or thinking you should, just because you know it's a thing that exists).Or perhaps I am trying too hard- looking for them with too much intensity might make them run away.
Neither the degree of meaningfulness, which is entirely subjective, nor causality have anything to do with the definition of the word, synchronicity.
