Synchronicity: the Signs of Life

You are in a supermarket queue; all the other checkouts are faster than yours. You decide to change to the more rapid line, and it stops. Have you ever been through this? And what happens?

You tend to think you are unlucky. But doesn’t this little event have a slightly deeper meaning? Isn’t life telling you to be more patient?

We tend to complain a lot. We complain about a simple queue, the weather, getting sick, or losing people we love.

The fact is that everything that happens to you is symbolic; you are not here by chance, and so are the situations.

Everything that happens in your life has meaning; there’s a lesson behind it. For this reason, interpreting symbolism helps you understand your life better.

When you develop a more symbolic, less rational mentality, you start to dialogue with life. Because life talks to you all the time.

Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connection between the subjective and objective world.

Carl Jung

Constructive or Destructive Suffering

Look back and remember a challenging moment you’ve gone through. Did it make you grow?

Every painful situation that helped you grow and brought important lessons is incredibly valid. That is constructive suffering.

And the events you’ve been through and believe it was only painful, and they didn’t produce any learning; even worse, they turned into traumas. That is destructive suffering.

If you’ve been through any destructive suffering, rest assured that somehow life will put you again in a similar situation.

Yes, life will give you a symbolic equivalent. Because you didn’t learn what you should. It’s like repeating a school year.

Although experiencing pain is very effective for our growth, we have to take advantage of all situations to learn, including the joyful.

When you develop a more symbolic mentality, you understand the moment, and you can act, not react to the situation. You free yourself from the fight-or-flight response mode.

Synchronicity

Nothing happens by chance. Everything is synchronicity.

Synchronicity, in a simple way, is a coincidence that brings some meaning to your life. It’s triggered by apparently random events, provoking a change in your perception and direction.

Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see.

Carl Jung

Causality is simply a sequence of ordered events. For example, I think of a friend; I miss her and call her. That chain of events came from me, from a single source.

On the other hand, synchronicity deals with a coincidence of events that do not have the same root but connect each other through meaning. For instance, I think of a friend; I miss her, and she calls me. As if we were connected in a non-physical way.

Let’s say you’re choosing between 2 apartments to buy. Suddenly you start seeing the number 9 everywhere. One of your buying options is building number 9. What would you do?

In fact, synchronicity is the human being’s capacity to grasp a symbolic message from the Field of Consciousness, from God.

These events show us there is no such thing as chance but rather a meticulously orchestrated cosmic order far above human understanding.

These clues can help us solve various daily problems, give us precious tips, and even help us choose the best paths for our lives.

Be Here Now

The more you allow yourself to be in the present moment, the more synchronicities will appear in your life.

The secret to taking advantage of the school of life is to learn how to be in the present moment. To develop mindfulness.

And then the more synchronicities happen, the more you ask yourself: are they happening more, or am I more attentive and present to capture the signs of life?

It’s up to you to participate in this conversation or not. You always have the option to live the life that is worth living. Involve yourself in the true meaning of life and what daily events have to tell you.

So, learn from it, dialogue with life, and evolve in consciousness. Life is transitory; life is in motion. Things will inevitably change. You will meet people, you will lose people, you will conquer things, and you will lose things.

We only lose what is transitory. The true consciousness is permanent, and the awakening is permanent.

Let the magic happen!
