Synchronicity: The Real Effect of Butterflies
As Above, So Below
“In pursuit of something deeper than happiness…” Journal quote from 2/2/22
Spoiler Alert: Nothing is Real
Have you ever seen yourself in a dream? What if they are the one dreaming you?
Our ability to understand reality comes from an invisible realm, which many people prefer to ignore.
In my recent article about the illusion of Time, I asked whether you believe that every decision we make has its own “butterfly effect.”
I have more questions for you… Are you ready to Think some Thoughts?

Who is synchronicity? She’s really lining up for me
You’ll never see her coming I’ve been feeling her ~ subliminally
What is Synchronicity?
According to Carl Jung,
“Synchronicity means the simultaneous occurrence of psychic state with one or more external events, which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state.”
If we are noticing coincidental alignments, is this a sign that something good is coming?
What if they’re warnings? Both can be true.
How can we learn to interpret these messages from the invisible realm?
Carl Jung believed these coincidences were meaningful.
I believe that when we value these so-called coincidences, we inspire serendipity.
If it means something to you, it’s more than a coincidence.
According to Google,
- Synchronicity is: the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
- In psychology, synchronicity is defined as the occurrence of meaningful coincidences that seem to have no cause.
Synchronicity is more than a rehearsed dance routine or planes moving in the same pattern at the same time.
It is a metaphysical element of life; a deeper, psychological alignment with an unexplained higher power.
Are you in touch with your sixth sense?
Serendipity:
“An aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident;” finding good things without looking for them.
This is one of a few words I take with me through life as a recurring theme, and in the form of a tattoo.
I also have “tu joues avec le feu” (you’re playing with fire) permanently written on my arm, so interpret that as you will…
I believe serendipity relates to the lighter side of synchronicity.
When I see butterflies or cardinals, especially those that seem to linger, I like to think of them as greetings from heavenly beings. Perhaps they send these delightful creatures our way, hoping we’ll take the time to notice.
I also appreciate more significant instances of serendipity, like finding a beautiful apartment that happens to be available exactly when I need to move, or finding the most loyal companion I’ve ever met at an animal shelter on 1/23/23 — a day that seemed like the perfect opportunity for a new beginning.
Comical Side Note:
Recently, I was cleaning at home with a podcast on in the background.
I randomly told my dog, “I love youuu,” as one does, and at the EXACT same time, the podcast host said, “I love you.”
So we’re married now.
This may have been a random coincidence, but I thought it was a very strange occurrence. I was listening to a comedy podcast— the hosts aren’t necessarily saying “I love you” frequently, and for the timing to be that exact felt like a real synchronized Matrix moment.
“The only acceptable point of view appears to be the one that recognizes both sides of reality: a quantitative and qualitative, the physical and the psychical as compatible with each other. It would be most satisfactory of all if physics and psyche, (i.e. mind and matter) could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality.” — Wolfgang Pauli
The Dark Side of Synchronicity
I wrote this at 8:08pm — then looked at the clock… There it is again. 808.

Oh, my dear Shadow? Is that you, warning me to watch my surroundings?
“As Above, So Below,” she implies without words.
As serendipity exists in a higher frequency, the opposite persists in the dark realms of the unconscious.
I recently learned that there is a word for these unlucky occurrences. “Zemblanity” is the inexorability of unfortunate discoveries; the opposite of serendipity.
These messages are more like warnings as opposed to affirmations.
They remind us to ask ourselves: What are you working towards?
If you are manifesting peace, you may be presented with chaotic situations. Your inner peace will be tested until you accept the presence of disorder.
If you are asking for patience, you will be presented with situations that require you to be patient. This is a test. Will you respond accordingly?
I believe we encounter challenges that teach us valuable lessons, as well as affirmations that we are exactly where we’re supposed to be.
If Reality is an Illusion, What is Truth?
The facts of physics were true before we discovered or defined them. Math and science, time and money are all relevant in our reality whether we enjoy dealing with them or not.
The same is true about the undefined metaphysical aspects of life.
Synchronicity, serendipity, contact with passed souls, and psychic abilities are very real. The fact that they’re not scientific truths does not make them irrelevant.
We used to believe the Earth was flat — according to science! Some still do…
Scientists are just humans. They’re not always right.
Nor am I, I’m just here to provoke your thoughts.
Remember that nobody knows everything…
