Ever draw something randomly improvisation heavy put it away and find it again only for the drawing to explain to you in symbols exactly what you are going through? I find out later it is called retro-causation. Strange sense of comfort. Love your work.
I've been writing a comic for the past few months about coincidences, and the whole time i've been having synchronicities directly connected to things I'd just drawn. I'm almost finished so I'm kind of anticipating something weird to happen once it's all finished
@@ArtOfEthan it's definitely one of those things that someone could say - well you're looking for coincidences - but at the same time, it's such an *internal* thing it's hard to really convey the significance of things to an outsider! Like the dream-world breaking through. Good luck with the comic!
Heyoo! Enjoyed hearing your story :) I have no idea who you are - this video was suggested on my home page, obviously because I research these subjects hahah. I experience synchronicities in waves, they're usually more prominent in the midst of my intense processing and releasing of some stuff that's been keeping me stuck in some area of life. It's like they surround me whenever I'm leveling up a bit. Their occurrence never ceases to amaze me, even though they've been happening for a long time now. Didn't really understand much from Jung's writings, but it's all good and fascinating haha. Have a good one! :)
Me too! That is exactly what I was thinking...synchronicity comes in waves for me. Sometimes it is so frequent it does cease to amaze me, though it does amuse/tickle me.
@@miagasparovic3689 hey thanks for the comment! I often find them quite ... I think 'charming' is the word. As if the universe has a weird sense of humour.
Had one recently too. Unsure of work/starting teaching. My mom has a dream im wearing a cream coloured sweater... day goes great. I jokingly say lets see if that somehow plays out today. Sure enough, one single student with a cream coloured sweater was overtly helpful all day. Asking to help clean stuff/write examples on the board to help others that couldn't see/picking up garbage... No joke. An absolute stand out gem of a student. That is pure chance? After she mentions it before I go?
@@j.b.7133 how strange! I've had some absolutely stone-cold prophetic dreams about extremely mundane but specific stuff. Your example seems much more *meaningful* - I suggest we take it where we can, this infinite Multiverse surrounding us seems to be mostly devoid of the stuff!
7:40 It’s interesting that you posit the possibility of it being a mere coincidence. Your video shares an interesting anecdote, one that I find relatable. What this brought to mind is liminality-that your distress from estrangement, like what one might feel from grief or loss, pulled you into a world where synchronicity entered more into your awareness. It’s easy for the skeptical mind to brush aside such things, but I find this pointing to a magic that mystics knew and that emerging science will better embrace. Like how your comic opens you to worlds where the improbable is possible, so goes our consciousness and the interactions we share in the world. Playing in this way opens us to the scrutiny of the critic or skeptic, but (once overcome) reveals layers of existence that defy understanding from previous models or belief structures. Finally, I leave you with this. I was writing a poem on applying fire (energy) to dead or dying things in your life, then letting these relationships go, rising from the ashes, and applying this fire to what inspires or excites. My wife, in the midst of this, shared with me an astrological reading for February (which is not typical for her to do), which incorporated all the themes from the poem. A poem with which she had no knowledge I was writing. A poem I had written to exorcise/expiate a relationship and gain clarity on the direction of my life. There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. (Einstein quote) Synchronicities are everywhere. Embrace the limitations of the rational mind and embrace a magical world. Thank you for creation! 🙏
Enjoyed the story! I’ve been having a lot of synchronicities lately. Happened a bunch in my mid 20’s and has now decided to start popping up again in my mid 40’s. I always took it as the universe giving me a bit of a wink. There’s something reassuring about it for me.
@@fersuvious hey thanks yeah me too - one definitely made use of them in directing the course of my work over the years - wandering into the unknown it's good to have signposts I guess
Last year I watched twin peaks for the first time, my brother comes down to my dad’s place for a long weekend and decides to do an oil change on his car, I’m going out throughout the day chatting to him in between eps and finish the episode about the portal to the other world being a puddle of burnt diesel. I walk outside to tell him see my brother(never watched the show). Saying to my dad it smells burnt and putting the oil dish into our garden bed.. I flipped lmao
Your video showed up on my home page--really thought provoking stuff! I've been working on a surrealist video game for the past two years and I've been trying my best to honor the synchronicities I encounter. I named the game after a strange string of words that I encountered in an online music review. At the time, it just seemed like beautiful word salad. I went home, created the title screen, and immediately knew it was right. Two months later, I visited a social media profile of the writer who's inspired the game. His newest post announced a 10,000 word epic poem based off the silent film Metropolis. The name I had selected for my game was "Uncertainty of Impending Metropolis." Freaky stuff.
We do really swim in a sea of information don't we, as little self actualised libraries of information accretion - but yes strange connections do sing out In neon like strange deep sea creatures, and keep us fascinated don't they!
Our connection to the depths of life. Beautiful story thank you for sharing.
@@JonSittingStill hey thanks my pleasure!
This is my first video I have seen of yours. I love it.

@@pollobionico hey thanks! I'd definitely call myself a Surrealist/Symbolist so there's always a loose kind of intention there!
