The “Synchronicity Games”<\/a> allow the posts from this site to be opened and read at random, yet their interpretation is guided by the principle of synchronicity. This involves exploring whether there are meaningful connections between the written words and one\u2019s current life situation \u2014 connections that may provide answers to the questions one is seeking.<\/p>\n

The Principle of Synchronicity<\/h2>\n

“In the I Ching, the only criterion for the validity of synchronicity is the observer’s opinion that the text of the hexagram truly conveys his psychic state.” \u2014 C.G. Jung<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Synchronicity<\/a> is a concept that entered the field of psychology thanks to the founder of analytical psychology, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung. What we intuitively know from experience \u2014 namely, that nothing is truly accidental \u2014 he formulated as an acausal connecting principle between the outer and the inner worlds. This principle reflects how the unconscious manifests within the human psyche, revealing the profound interconnection between the different levels of our psychic wholeness. According to this principle, coincidences in time and space are more than mere chance; the challenge lies in interpreting their meaning in the right way.<\/p>\n

Self-Help<\/h2>\n

“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” \u2014 Albert Einstein<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Much has been written about the paramount importance of the mind in achieving sought-after changes. In the field of psychotherapy, this is the core of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which suggests that our perception of the world stands between us and the world itself. This is the so-called “intermediate event”<\/a> that determines how we react to the things that happen to us. Therefore, if we want to realize desired changes in our lives, we must begin by changing the way we think about (perceive and interpret) our experiences.<\/p>\n

Marianne Williamson describes the human mind as God\u2019s altar \u2014 to “defile the altar” means to fill it with loveless thoughts. Osho says that reality depends on our eyes, and therefore: “Change the eyes, and reality will change.” Don Miguel Ruiz speaks of the “parasite in our minds,” which consists of all the “lies we believe in,” leading to judgment and self-condemnation. To change our lives, it is necessary to make new agreements with ourselves, based on truth \u2014 which is to say, on love. Byron Katie writes that “Reality is always kinder than the stories we tell about it” and created a method dedicated to investigating the truth of our thoughts, called “The Work.”<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the authors whose insights are shared on this site. The goal is to help you “change the glasses through which you view yourself and the world,” in order to reclaim your power as a conscious creator of your own life.<\/p>\n

The Practice<\/h2>\n

“To know and not to do is really not to know. To learn and not to do is not to learn. To understand and not to do is not to understand. Only in the doing, in the application of acquired knowledge and understanding, do they become internalized.” \u2014 Stephen Covey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reading the wisdom from these articles through the “Synchronicity Games” supports the daily practice of what you have learned, serving as a reminder of the “new agreements” we have made with ourselves. For something to work, it must first be put into work.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
