synchronicity
Function: noun
The coincidental occurrence of events that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality.
Partial reprint from Intuition Magazine "Is it (syncronicity) only, as skeptics suggest, selective perception and the law of averages playing itself out? Or is it, as Carl Jung believed, a glimpse into the underlying order of the universe? He coined the term synchronicity to describe what he called the "acausal connecting principle" that links mind and matter. He said this underlying connectedness manifests itself through meaningful coincidences that cannot be explained by cause and effect. Such synchronicities occur, he theorized, when a strong need arises in the psyche of an individual. He described three types that he had observed: the coinciding of a thought or feeling with an outside event; a dream, vision or premonition of something that then happens in the future; and a dream or vision that coincides with an event occurring at a distance. No one has come up with a definition that has superceded his, although there has been debate on whether events linked to precognition and clairvoyance should be included as synchronicity." And so it was Thursday night with Barbara McRae's insightful presentation that had most nodding their heads in total agreement. Barbara told of her successful battle with ovarian cancer and the power of her own intent that was instrumental in her cure. Barbara explained step by step how she created her entrepreneurial endeavors which led to her "national best seller" Coaching Your Teen to Success and her successful coaching business. And the synchronicity? For the 4 people in the audience who are a part of my personal mastermind group, Barbara's presentation could have been taken right from the last several weeks of conversation. Her description of her successful application of universal success techniques kept us all exchanging approving glances during the presentation. Like all speaker nights our emphasis is on entrepreneurial education, and everyone got buckets full Thursday night. Although, Barbara McRae's very busy schedule keeps her on the move, she hopes to return for another speaker night sometime after the next IBI Global Free Enterprise Forum and we just can't wait. If you are in business or contemplating a business you should definitely be at IBI Colorado at the Butterfly Pavilion on Thursday night. Trackback URL For This Entry Is
