What is the relationship of the experience of synchronicities?

What is the relationship of the experience of synchronicities to the 'rational'? That question has been answered:

"Accompanying the more profound occurrences of synchronicity (is) a dawning intuition, sometimes described as having the character of a spiritual awakening, that the individual herself or himself not only is embedded in a larger ground of meaning and purpose, but also in some sense (is) a focus of it."
Richard Tarnas Cosmos and Psyche

The above quotation is embedded in 492 pages + 50 pages of endnotes, etc, little bitty print, not many pictures in the book.

"There is another world, but it is 'in' this one." Paul Eluard, Morris Berman, The Reenchantment of the World"

"Here again the dialectic that runs through the whole development of the mythical-religious consciousness stands out with particular sharpness....It is a fundmantal trait in mythical thinking that where ever it posits a definite relation between two members it transforms this relation into an identity. An attempted synthesis leads here necessarily to a coincidence, an immediate concrescence of the elements that were to be linked. " Ernst Cassirer, page 250, The Philosophy of symbolic Forms, Vol 2.

Concrescence is a term coined by Alfred North Whitehead
to show the process of jointly forming an actual entity that was without form, but about to manifest itself ...

"I saw not with the eye of the body, but the eye of the soul." Goethe; Theodore Reik's Fragment of a Great Confession

In discovering the other world, the hidden world, a very strange kind of conversation can be experienced but it's not the typical 'voice' that speaks in that other world. It's created artificially! It uses whatever is available to the individual, the specific individual.

This quotation is from War In Heaven by Charles Williams.

"When Mr. Batesby had spoken that morning it had seemed as if two streams of things: actual events and his own meditations had flowed gently together; as if not he but Life were solving the problem in the natural process of the world. He reminded himself now that such a simplicity was unlikely; explanations did not lucidly arise from mere accidents and present themselves as all but an ordered whole."
Read only the words in Bold-red. and that's the best example I can give of the process of 'abstraction' from embeddedness. This is an excellent description of synchronization as a life process. One's own meditations and actual events flow together and a new 'voice' speaks through this natural process.

Its an individualizing experience in every day life that has been named various names throughout history. C. G. Jung named it individuation, Emanuel Swedenborg had accurately identifed it as regeneration, a process that includes a life review.
An individuation process is not commonly recognized because its such a unique personalized life experience of one's own body and mind. You may be as surprised as I was to have to learn that the 'irrational' is what can't be scientifically validated because it's unique, ultra personal experiences that happen over a life span and science requires repeatability.
So the irrational is what ever isn't rational because science excludes personal analysis, the process requires repeatability. In fact the irrational is a wholeness of experience in that it includes the rational when the individuation process operates in a life or in lives. An individuation process is not commonly understood yet but I became aware of the process and the pattern without knowing about it myself!
How it creates a 'voice' and a conversation is the most personalizing life experience that can be experienced if it's recognized, because the form of its 'speech' is difficult to be discerned. Order emerges from chaos, literally over a span of time that may be decades in a life. It's speech is created artificially, the 'voice' aspect is created by a process of abstractions from every day life content. The bibliography at the end of a technical non-fictional book is in my opinion the result of that process of abstractions, its basically invisible to the author.
When quantum physics was 'discovered' that was a message that 'said': "The physical world is derived from another world" and: " there are no causes in the physical world, only effects." (Emanuel Swedenborg had already written that fact and other important details about the process of life, regeneration was his name for it, that he believed prepared a person for life after death.) One attribute of its speech is symbolic but literalness is also part of how the' voice' is created by a process literally of 'abstractions' , highlighted by the mind from every day life content, by a special function of mind that creates a 'second under lying context' automatically, with an extra 'sense'. The term 'second underlying context' was my own definition but a local Jungian psycyhiatrist told me it was an excellent term. Swedenborg's term, 'double thought' is appropriate too.

Only last year I saw an old movie (Blade Runner) and the process of 'abstraction' caused me to hear a remark made in it about 'tears lost in rain' with that 'extra meaningful sense' that I've noticed myself in my mind. It has helped me describe the undescribable invisibility of such events that occur, embedded in every day life until the 'extra sense' abstracts and highlights them. The 'jokes' that cause you to laugh most heartily are the simplest example I can give now. Television situation comedies in our time are popular from this mechanism's operations but that's just one of 'its' attributes.

There is a kind of rational logic inherent to the process, not Aristolean, or linear, because 'it' uses personal memories and experiences as the content of the process. But that's a fact that had to be recognized over a span of time when 'it' created in my life a consistent synchronization between inner content that was new to me, certain memories from my past and everything, every thing, outside my body.
The process itself was almost overwhelming for a few years until it was a new kind of 'normal', but not yet invisible. What's new eventually becomes normal but whatever is normal gets to be invisible eventually, its ever presence has made it invisible.

The process as I had to figure out myself, operates 'in' every day events. I believe it is a special sense that unites (synchronizes is the best word to use) the body and brain with what's outside the body, history and Time itself with the flow of what I believe is the 'ongoing endeavor of Time'. It may be a function of the unconsciousness itself to create the process of individuation, from the depths of mind but I'm not sure about that. But let me emphasize that I had to discover all, every 'bit of information' myself and notice how it was created from mechanisms of mind that alter 'thought' and the direction of attention. The most difficult to discover was that there is a kind of 'prompter within'. It created a new relationship with every day life events gradually.'

" The medium is the message." The extension in Time of an idea can be 'like' a signal, in my opinion.

The process of individuation is virtually unknown but I have experienced that the 'transcendental function' is in charge, it's building a future event: The Future. Sometimes long strings of events have to happen, widely spaced in time so that the personal 'meaning and context' can in some situations only be given decades later. I've had several events, separated by even decades happen, then a 'closing event ' completes the string and then an inner display retrieves them and assembles them in a flash of a second as 'insight'. Only then suddenly, it's obvious that part of me in the past somehow 'knew' the future.

I wouldn't abandon 'string theory' which F. David Peat wrote is an 'interactive force'. He did not write about or mention a process of individuation. I will have to describe in detail why I believe Sigmund Freud's 'discovery' of psychoanalysis was his experience of this individuation process and Carl G. Jung's much deeper experience was the result of recognizing the effects of the same pattern.

What ever "it" is that energizes my body in that 'kind' of event, which often happens as an ordinary situation, it's not always 'numinous' (feelable at the moment) or even unusual. It's 'feelable' when a creative 'function' of the unconscious mind that is not unconscious its self., 'highlights' the event or the memory of an event. I know it never sleeps, I've had more than acceptable evidence of that fact. That's where its possible to see evidence of foresight, when I see what happened when I was 'moved' by that function in certain specific events and finally realized I'd been alone when many of them happened.

The depths of mind is where an unsleeping part of me (and probably everyone else) is at work. Nothing materially changes but 'associations and understanding'. Its nearly impossible to detect that there's a vast space between upper regions of mind and the most remote regions of mind that produces content that is thankfully strangely visible. It uses symbols that the individual 'knows' or can recognize.

My main symbol is the moebius band in all it's forms. An impulse caused me to make my first one in 1941 when I was 9 years old. The same impulse caused me to discover its 'secret', it's hidden forms that day after I'd made the band with a 180 degree turn. "Cut around it lengthwise." was a thought and I cut it once lengthwise, surprised at the result. The thought words repeated : "Cut around it lengthwise." so I obeyed again. The result was two bands separated but joined in a knot that didn't look like it could be undone. The two bands were joined but separated. The impulse has caused me to look over my shoulder at just the right moment, in the right location and what it brings to my attention is ALWAYS a surprise, sometimes its a real shock, perfectly timed.

It's connected to a part of 'me' that knows where I am, what's in front of me, where I've been and 'it' knows my most private thought. That part evidently knows the future, it has foresight and 'it' or whatever it's connected to uses a different language than our words. But it's within me, looking through my eyes, and I'm not unusual.

The four world balloon was created from an impulse to do something irrational.

About the image of 4 balloons?

I had an impulse to create my own image to represent (re-present) of the four worlds that William Blake's Tree of Life allegory had brought to my mind. I described what I wanted to a young man in a craft store and he thought it was impossible to do what I had in mind. Yet he did it without too much trouble then he made one for himself.

THE VOICE OF THE COSMOS AND ITS LANGUAGE

I have learned something real about how my mind was used to teach me an Idea that was designed by the Cosmos itself,  the purpose of which, was to reveal my connection to the Cosmos itself.  My mind is in my body. The beginning of a conversation that began to affect my body so that  I felt 'trembly' and driven by a powerful urge that originated in a problem in my home, to prove I wasn't crazy veered away from where it began in a real world to another world, a world within.

My first glimpse of it  (1982 as best I can date it)  generated a thought that it was a miracle. My second glimpse of it generated a thought  in my mind,  that it was a miracle slowed down, stretched out in Time,  so that I could watch it happen. That is what it was. A miracle stretched out in Time and slowed down in Time, so that I could notice details that I had never noticed  in my life and watch the advent of a change that changed not only my life, but life on this planet Earth. I was one drop of humanity,  selected , highlighted to be an active particle, a recipient of specific information that is embedded in any place where words occur in any time! 

The advent of the 'voice' that I began to hear  was concealed behind the  advertisements of the approaching  1984 Olympic Games played in Los Angeles.

"The second world is here and in the second world all the rules are changed."  I had never heard an advertisement the way I heard this one, it was how a person is heard.  I didn't think on the event until it occurred several times.

 My third glimpse of it generated the thought: "This is impossible. I don't believe another person but me would ever understand this.  How on Earth will I ever explain this? Who on Earth will ever believe me?" This thought, which I do not believe I generated myself was followed by a mass of information in the form of certain  specific memories abstracted from my past in  a flash, it happened in less than a second of time. But there was also  'new' material, that I experienced somehow without 'thought words' about what was  happening  at the moment, as well as what was going to happen. 

The passing of time and events that had not yet  happened made it obvious the future  was part of that event, when the future event happened,  in 1982. 

It was a seamless package, everything came as a single bundle that had to be 'sorted out' and 'categorized' in the next 25 years. All that happened was mental, but it was visible although it was 'given' in a form and in a location that I did not recognize until  later.  The packet  was in a different location in my mind, a great distance from the kind of perception I acquired  during the next 7 years as I lived my life. It was activity that was  visible but as I had to realize myself, was a great distance remote from consciousness and articulation.  The part that was visible remained firmly in memory afterwards because in 1989 another event happened that drew this 1982 event into very great significance. I remembered the event and understood what was 'said' to me, by implication.   It was a critically important event. The circumstances of that night were quite specific but at that point the first in  a long  'strange flow of events' had barely begun to be noticeable.

It is important to keep in mind that a new kind of experiences began that night, and eventually they created an almost overwhelming confusion until I realized what was happening. What was happening was that a kind of conversation had been created in a way I had to notice, dimly at first, then become aware was creating 'words' (information) in a complex,  highly abstract language. The language is one that does not require any knowledge of the past at first, because it is complete in itself  I have very good reasons to believe.

My mind and body were not my 'normal' by then, but I believed the causes of my discomforts were due to real world problems: a complete hysterectomy  late in 1979; an uninsured fire caused many problems in my marriage. The problems associated with those circumstances  then a terrible blow on my head in an automobile accident early in 1981 seemed to have caused brain damage, because so much was changed in my 'head'. 

 After some time I felt that somehow I was not in control, that something else was driving me: it was a real force, a drive in my body to do things that would restore the losses of my 'normal' habits. I noticed many changes, but not immediately because everything was changed. A band of 'thought' about a dream (The Dream), had begun moving through my mind before that night in 1982. .

 It was not self generated thought I believe now but in 1982/3 such words as 'self generated' would have seemed like nonsense to me and have no meaning.  I watched and listened to the 'event' that night without knowing at that point, that it was emerging from a separate memory.  It  came from a place where I could not relate to it other than  to hear/see the content  when it emerged.  It emerged further yet than The Dream; it was a much greater distance from a point where I could speak even one word about it to myself! Or to anyone else.

The significance of this event was such that it was literally critical to the success of what was going to happen in the future, beginning as it did in every day situations in my ordinary life with people, some of whom I would not have suspected were not ordinary, psychiatrically speaking. And I knew nothing about psychiatric ideas in 1982-3 except that I had a name only familiarity with some of Sigmund Freud's ideas.

 Without any warning that within the mind, there exist  locations that can be 'looked into/ listened from', even spoken from, but not 'heard' or 'seen' by one's own ears and eyes,  a new kind of information was created.  It was about my future and what was just at that point beginning to emerge was given to me while I stood waiting for a square-dance class to begin, glancing around the room.

For the first time I noticed certain details in people in the room that I could have noticed before but had not. Then a flow of 'inner events' began, followed rapidly with  the 'thought words': "This is impossible. I don't believe another person but me would ever understand this. How on Earth Will I ever explain this?  Who will ever believe me?" Much happened between the first 'glance' and the thought words.  I have not been able to determine whether I thought those words or did I 'read' them.

The end of a period, change in a phase, the re-capitulation of an age

My first memory  was a moment in time, (I  was a few months older than 2 years) that was captured in its entirety and replayed in my mind at times when I was older.  It happened often enough that the repetition made me aware of it, then curious about why it flashed briefly into my mind. I didn't consider it as a photograph until I was in my late 50s.  It is still a photograph of  what I was looking at, what I felt  and heard since it included a thought, it was a complete record  of that minute and it was retriived often enough to prove to me that it existed permanently after the original event happened.

There are so many ways to interpret the title I chose  for this post.  Its my personal experience that formed it; so  anyone that reads it understands it from their personal experiences, that's where interpretations and understanding begin: with Time plus its content. A moment in time without including its content is meaningless, and space is where content occurs. But the fact that physical space is not the only space becomes a problem when inner mind-content is added to the definitions necessary in explaining my words to you.  The memories that re-occurred into my mind after the original event happened were installed were named by Emanuel Swedenborg as 'remains'..He wrote that remains are installed  for use in the process of regeneration but the word regeneration is a definition  of memory.   Swedenborg also mentioned 'double thought '  in a context that I have experienced as  an effect caused by a mechanism  of my mind its a switch, an on/off  or me/not me switch that I  acquired in a marriage bond that was suddenly broken.  I noticed many changes in my mind, my thought was different and I wondered if I was thinking the new thought.  It was new to me but everything was  was different so  it was years before I recognized the simple switch and a reflection of my mental activity that produced a double thought. My experiences with the mechanism that produced so many changes in my mind and my body also changed the  content of my habit of reading.  I have never been interested in real books.   I read  pulp science fictions, when I could find where my father hid them and Zane Grey westerns,  I loved the Hardy Boys so the change from reading fictions to non-fictions was a major change I was not choosing the books that came to my attention in odd places,  I had a distinct impression of words that were said to me:  "Pay no attention to whether you understand the words . Read them anyway." 
I couldn't  decide not to read the books that eventually I noticed had an unusual 

connection  in their titles:       '
