Original article:
What is synchronicity?
And how can you recognize and explain synchronicity?
Synchronicity is something you can only try to explain. There are “official” descriptions that somewhat narrow it down, but in essence, it is one of those things where someone rings a bell and your mind immediately shifts towards the inexplicable experiences you yourself have made or you will likely just stand there with a blank look wondering if the person telling you about it is all there.
Synchronicity is a concept first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl G. Jung “to describe circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection.
You cannot recognize synchronicity without intuition, unless someone in touch with the reality of it guides you towards recognizing it.
At the same time, there are also intuitive individuals who allowed themselves to be convinced to abandon their own inner voice.
In a nutshell, here is the title of my video that I have chosen based on what I consider a good way to put it:
Synchronicity is the movie and intuition your antenna.
„Well, I was sitting opposite of her one day, with my back to the window, listening to her flow of rhetoric. She had an impressive dream the night before, in which someone had given her a golden scarab-a costly piece of jewellery. While she was still telling me this dream, I heard something behind me gently tapping on the window. I turned round and saw that it was a fairly large flying insect that was knocking against the window from outside in the obvious effort to get into the dark room. This seemed to me very strange. I opened the window and immediately and caught the insect in the air as it flew in. It was a scarabaeid beetle, or common rose-chafer, whose gold-green color most nearly resembles that of a golden scarab. I handed the beetle to my patient with the words “Here is your scarab.”“
– Carl Jung
Strangely, shortly after having read this the same day, this image and description were what I came across on Reddit:
Even though this “event” seems minor, I cannot dismiss it as insignificant.

Synchronicity has been with me my entire life and indeed I am very intuitive. If I am working on a project or a problem or anything I am exploring or contemplating, suddenly something, or many things, will be presented to me on the very topic and so specifically related that it is clearly not a coincidence. Even though this has happened since I was young, it often blows my mind on just how specifically related the synchronicity is to the situation or issue at hand. This also applies to things such as travel, when perhaps there may have been danger or harm if X, Y or Z had not occurred so unexpectedly, at just the right moment, or series of moments, or I meet someone new and they are an expert on or have knowledge in exactly what I needed to know or hear – without my saying anything.
I could go on and on, I have had so many memorable and some shocking but beneficial synchronistic experiences. In fact I am working on something now, very personal, and items (unsought or or even thought about), keep appearing that are key to the issue, as well as, for example I’ll open my iPad to a Youtube channel that covers many topics and the sepcific topic I’m dealing with will be what is discussed. Or, I pick up a book that I’m not familiar with then turn randomly to a chapter that speaks to the exact issue I’m working on, which also contains an explanation I’ve been seeking. I feel in awe when this happens and always so filled with gratitude that I am tuned-in AND receptive. I think those of us who are intuitive are very fortunate. My Myers-Briggs tester has me at 66% intuitive and I do also experience the full spectrum of Clairs, as well as telepathy. With the Clairs like Clairvoyance I’ll see a visual in my minds eye and not always related to the future, and of course I experience the more common form of pointedly thinking of someone I have not heard from or spoken to for some time then they suddenly call, and with Claircognizance, well I just know. I’ve frequently had someone say to me, “How did you know that, there’s no way you could know.” None of this happens all the time, by any means, but when it does, whether synchronicity, one the Clairs, or telepathy, it is pretty amazing and always accurate.
