Nungali Posted July 24, 2018 Great .... now this , is 'a thing ' ..... now, apparently, anything can mean anything you want it to . It is the “The art of realizing meaningful coincidence in the seemingly mundane with mystical or esoteric significance.” or even ; " multi contextual research " ..... research ! ! ! ? . It used to be an obvious sign of confirmation bias We seen a bit of this happening here . http://realitysandwich.com/1377/the_cryptic_cosmology_synchromysticism/ " The synchromysticism research Jake Kotze publishes on his websites include information-dense videos, artwork and articles punctuated by images illustrating various mystic/pop culture linkages. His articles and videos usually focus on esoteric symbols or memes (possibly stemming from a collective unconscious mind) reoccurring throughout a wide range of sources, especially mass media. Such symbols include numbers, words, archetypes, shapes and various visual motifs or patterns such as portals and checkerboards. The total effect is a mind-blowing labyrinthine reality mash-up linked by a type of dream logic. " It is also the beginnings of certain psychotic paranoid delusions < raises eyebrows> . ... but try and tell them that ! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost in Translation Posted July 25, 2018 That's a coincidence. I was thinking the exact same thing! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CityHermit! Posted July 28, 2018 I've seen some people who've been really attached to that stuff, and unfortunately in a manner that seems more detrimental to them than anything. It must be very taxing to the brain to process that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redcairo Posted January 22, 2019 So, "synchronicity" was the term Jung invented for an acausal correlation between things. When you are working on personal individuation, one of the very specific side-effects is the increase of synchronicity in your life. But this is really just kind of trivia -- you might say it's a small indicator you're closer to in-the-zone -- and it already has a word. The thing you showed sounds like someone reinventing and then greatly "adding assumptions" to that. One can find and the brain loves to match patterns, all over the place. I think a number of psyche disorders also tend to make people a lot more tuned to "investing meaning" into things which would not be considered anything coincidental if not for their subjective assignment of meaning. Which really is the only true nature of "meaning" in the human sense anyway. (As opposed to abstract/logical definition.) I mean really... Reality is manifest example of confirmation bias. :-) RC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kondensation Posted February 9, 2019 This is what happens when ideas become substitutes for real things. The site sounds a lot like the chaos magic of yesteryear, but without a method behind the madness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
