MMW - July 15, 2017 - Understanding Synchronicity 

 

MEntity:

Hello to each of you. We are here now. We can begin.

 

Bobby: We were just thinking about you. Funny that you would just show up!

Janet: lol

Maureen:

VIP:

ClaireC:

 

MEntity:
Today we speak on the subject of Synchronicity, though we see you are aware of this based on the humor.

 

Synchronicity is a dynamic relationship with existence that arises from one's use of the Higher Moving Center in the Positive Pole.

 

However, Synchronicity can occur all around you and it will amount to very little use if the Higher Emotional Center is not included.

 

As this year is anchored in the Higher Emotional Center, it is a good time for examining this phenomenon of Synchronicity. Priest and Passion contribute to the support for expanding on the capacity for use of Synchronicity as tool. Any year is good for this exploration, but when the set of Overleaves for a year are supportive, it helps.

 

The Higher Emotional Center is vital for the use of Synchronicity because Synchronicity is useless if you are not AWARE of it. The Higher Emotional Center allows one to be aware, to heighten awareness, to bypass logic and reason to see the patterns and truth of Synchronicity.

 

The Higher Moving Center is the portal, so to speak, through which Synchronicities can arise as a pattern, but the Higher Emotional Center is what sees the pattern.

 

Synchronicity is defined here in its original terms as a meaningful meeting of inner and outer events that have no immediate or discernible cause to bring the effect.

 

There is a difference between Coincidence and Synchronicity and you are that difference. Coincidence is Synchronicity, but without MEANING.

 

Patterns are unfolding in the universe in multi-fold and multi-layered ways that will naturally create observable coincidences on a regular basis. When these are curious, entertaining, noted, and a novelty they are usually just Coincidence. However, when there is a striking level of meaning in any way, you have moved into the dynamics of Synchronicity.

 

Synchronicity is one of the most direct languages between you and your higher self or Essence, between you and other Essences, you and your life.

 

COINCIDENCE = a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection

 

SYNCHRONICITY = remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection that carries significant meaning to the observer

 

You and your Higher Emotional Center are the only difference in the equation.

 

The "meaning" that is significant in instances of Synchronicity are not forced. They are not a stretch. They tend to be immediately relevant and striking.

 

Fragments tend to be most receptive to Synchronicities when they are under duress, stress, panic, in an extraordinary circumstance, or extreme bliss. This is because these are circumstances when the Higher Moving Center is most often ignited as a default guidance system.

 

When one is struggling in life, or one is "in love," or when facing death or birth or illness, etc., there can be an Instinctive surrender to the greater patterns of the life in a way that opens to the patterns that might have meaning.

 

Because "meaning" is always created by the individual, it can be confusing as to whether a Synchronicity is valid because it has meaning, or if meaning was imposed on the Coincidence.

 

While the individual is always the creator of meaning, the difference between a valid Synchronicity and one that is not is if the meaning was already there. In other words, the meaning may have been created by you, but it existed before that moment.

 

More importantly, the lack of causation is clear.

 

For example:

 

If you have been studying the phenomenon of UFOs and while in the check out lane of the grocery store a person bumps into you and apologizes, explaining that he was lost in thought about UFOs, this is Synchronicity. There is no apparent causation and there is inherent meaning.

 

If you have been studying UFOs and are in a bookstore in the UFO section and someone comments on UFOs, this is barely a Coincidence, let alone Synchronicity.

 

There is meaning here, but there is clear causation.

 

If you are financially struggling and decide to use creative visualization to prompt access to solutions and prosperous paths, and then are suddenly offered an acceptable job that can help you, this is Synchronicity.

 

If you are financially struggling and publicly share your sense of demise and fear, and someone offers to help, this is not Synchronicity.

 

If your car slides off of the highway due to an ice patch and the driver of the tow truck turns out to be a Michael Student, that is Synchronicity.

 

If your car slides off of the highway due to an ice patch and the car flips over and you survive, that is not Synchronicity.

 

When it comes to what we will describe as "Extraordinary Synchronicity," it can be quite easy to incorrectly correlate certain causations with desired effects.

 

For example, you are in a car accident and are rushed to a hospital where there happens to be the best surgeon on hand to save your life. This is Synchronicity. However, it was not the prayers of your Aunt Millie who caused this.

 

Maureen:

 

MEntity:
Prayer, "leaving it up to the universe," "releasing to the universe," "if it is meant to be" are common false causations attributed to Synchronicity.

 

In addition to Extraordinary Synchronicity, there is Everyday Synchronicity.

 

Everyday Synchronicity is where one begins to bring awareness to Synchronicity that is outside of duress and bliss.

 

Some of our examples above are Everyday and some are Extraordinary. The differences being only in the lack or presence of duress and bliss.

 

Synchronicities can show up in your life in one of three ways: SINGULARITIES, STRINGS, and CLUSTERS.

 

Singularities are those instances that are meaningful at the moment and stand alone as an isolated experience.

 

Strings are a series of Singularities that add up to clearly define a theme.

 

Clusters are Strings that have dimensions and layers within the Synchronicities that add great complexity to the theme.

 

For example:

 

We will use Troy's life for our example. Troy and his best friend moved into an apartment that was later discovered to be an illegal rental that would force them to suddenly move. This coincided with another best friend needing a roommate and these best friends then conspired to move in together without Troy's knowledge. Troy is suddenly homeless, but is "randomly" contacted by a Michael Student who happens to have a room available, which puts Troy in a position that would allow him to meet a long-time online friend who "happened" to be visiting. This friend was from The Netherlands and both quickly "fell in love," prompting Troy's deep desire to move to The Netherlands. He blindly moved to The Netherlands where it was immediately discovered that he had been living with a terminal illness. Troy had no health insurance, but because The Netherlands have policies in place to give the best treatment to immigrants regardless of lack of insurance, he survived his coma.

 

He was given the best care he could get, the best circumstances for his recovery, and all of this was timed just in time for his return flight back to the U.S. where he would then be in recovery for two years, leaving him free to focus on what has now become "TLE."

 

This is a Cluster.

 

It is true that choices were made, actions were taken or ignored, etc., but that is moot to the Synchronicity and meaning that evolved from these patterns.

 

Strings and Clusters are often only clear in retrospect so they are not easy to see or navigate while in one, but the key is not in being able to see Strings and Clusters as they are in progress.

 

The key is in your being open to these.

 

And that key unlocks in greater clarity and patterns when you allow for the value, usefulness and recognition of any Synchronicity.

 

In other words, the more you practice paying attention to Singular, Everyday Synchronicity, the more your life opens to the Strings and Clusters that can work in seemingly magical and miraculous ways.

 

They cannot be forced, so you need not do more than pay attention and use your Synchronicity as you see fit. A String or Cluster will ignite if necessary, but they are much less likely to be effective if you have learned to shun, mock, or ignore valid Synchronicity.

 

In every step of the way in Troy's Cluster, he had to make choices and those choices were based in the trust of the Synchronicity.

 

This is not the same thing as "everything happens for a reason," because that is an untrue statement.

 

Trusting Synchronicity comes from an evolving trust in your own choices, not a relinquishing of choice to some unknown force. Synchronicity PRESENTS CHOICE, it does not DEFINE CHOICE.

 

It is a process of working with the higher forces of our life, not a turning over of your life to those forces.

 

****WORKSHOP****

 

Do you remember your most-recent Synchronicity? Can you briefly describe it?

 

Bobby: Yes... while listening to a song with the lyrics "one day I will fly next to you" as I was out walking, at that very moment in the song, I noticed a butterfly flying along side with me. It made me think of future potentials of being able to have that sort of connection with someone I don't currently have it with.

 

ClaireC: I met a potential date on Thursday whose name is the same as my brother-in-law and his last name is the name of one of his dogs.

 

DianeHB: Mine was getting two birthday cards (the only two I got) with mermaids on them, which is also the symbol on a Starbucks mug I was drawn to and inspired by. At the time of the synchronicity I was struggling with unhappiness with my work and wondering how to be the "me" that was symbolized by the mermaid mug.

 

Janet: No really recent examples, but my move to Colorado was based on some synchronistic episodes. I feel that I’ve made numerous life decisions in cooperation with synchronicity.

 

PeterK: My mind is drawing a blank on what might be the most recent synchronicity. But I do remember a significant synchronicity from 1997. I included an obscure computing language, PVS, on my resume. I almost didn't include it but decided to add it anyway. A woman in the Washington DC area just happened to be interested in this obscure language at the time. The short story is that she ended up offering me a job that I had for 14 years.

 

MEntity: Maureen? ViP? Do you wish to share?

 

VIP: I can remember that there were some that happened within the past few weeks, but the details escape me at the moment unfortunately, but there are some that occurred longer ago that I can remember more about. But there have been many times when I'm speaking with a certain person online or on the phone, that we speak the same word almost at the same time or I'll be thinking of something and she will say or make a reference to it at almost exactly the same time. Or I'll be reading something on the internet while talking and then a word I read will be spoken by her at almost exactly the same instant. Things like that. I don't know what the meaning behind it is, but it seems or feels significant in some way each time.

VIP: Although what the significance might actually be, I don't know either.

 

Maureen: I've been working through what my teacher "status" is since the shut down of my old teaching venue and I had the opportunity to meet a young woman who has been looking for a teacher. Someone like me it would seem. I'm not sure how this will pan out but it feels very expansive. She's very keen on the Michael Teachings. She sent me a note after reading Troy's Intro to the Michael Teachings saying: "Wow... I finished reading it last night and I was literally in tears. I have never felt more connected and understanding of something in my whole life. It really spoke to me, and now I feel like I have a whole different perspective on life."

 

MEntity:
When there is confusion around the value of a Singularity Synchronicity, it is almost always relevant to a larger pattern and may require allowing for more events to accumulate before the theme is revealed. This is especially true in terms of what may be deemed a series of unfortunate events because Synchronicity is not always pretty.

 

The "everything happens for a reason" inaccuracy arose from the desire to trust series of unfortunate events.

 

We refer to it as an untrue or inaccurate statement because choice must still be considered in the equation for the Synchronicities to String together or Cluster into a theme.

 

It is fair to trust your choices in response to a Synchronicity, but it is important to own the responsibility of choosing.

 

For example, Maureen did not have to remain open to other Agreements. She did not have to respond well to the meeting. She could have dismissed the meaning in the familiar impact of our teaching.

 

Synchronicity does reveal the magic and miracles in life insofar as fully living as a multidimensional consciousness is magical and miraculous when witnessed.

 

As mentioned earlier, if you are confused about the value of a Synchronicity, it may require being open to further installments in the String for the theme to be clearer. However, if 3 or more Singularities have occurred in a String, and the theme is still not clear, it is often a matter of resistance to the theme.

 

For example, ViP is seeing the Synchronicity String but is either dismissing, downplaying, or resisting the Theme that is evolving from these exchanges.

 

Sometimes the Theme is simple and not overly complicated, so it may simply be your way of indicating when you are truly resonating with and recognizing a significant soul in your life.

 

The Theme may be that of RECOGNITION, then.

 

If the Synchronicities are specific to certain topics, then you may wish to add these up to see if there is a topic that is the basis of the Theme.

 

Bobby: Is there any sort of time parameter for singularities to play out to form strings, and then clusters?

 

MEntity:
RESPONDING TO BOBBY: No. There are time frames for various arcing themes in the life. Some Clusters are unknown until the life is over and the installments are spread across the entire life leading to the meaningful means of dying.

 

However, that being said, Synchronicity patterns that are easiest to work with tend to be within arbitrary cycles such as "yearly."

 

The more obvious Strings and Clusters are in approximately 6-month to 12-month parameters, but this information is fairly moot if one is already remaining open and aware of any Singularity.

 

The Strings and Clusters will grow from the awareness of Singularities.

 

The reason this topic is timely is because when there is great uncertainty in the world, the trust in Synchronicity and the choices that arise in response to each Singularity can help to guide, create, and shape your future paths toward more desirable outcomes.

 

In addition to your awareness of Synchronicity is the necessity to learn how to READ your Synchronicity.

 

By this we mean that as you begin to see more Synchronicity by being open to it, you may be overwhelmed with the assumption that you should do something with every Synchronicity, but that is not necessary.

 

You must learn on your own to discern what the Synchronicity invites. It is always inviting choice, but not always action.

 

For example, if you see another person reading the same book as you, it is not always an invitation to speak to the other person. You may try to strike a conversation, but if this goes awry or is met with awkward rejection, it is likely that the Synchronicity was more about the emphasis on the book and its subject rather than on meeting the individual.

 

It is always okay to misread a Synchronicity. There tends to be room built in for your variable responses.

 

*****QUEUE IS NOW OPEN*****

 

We will open to your questions now.

 

Yes, ViP.

 

VIP: Hi Michael, is synchronicity always "positive", or indicative of some possible choice that is going to lead to more wholeness or inclusiveness or harmony? For example, if there are an abuser and an abusee that are in that situation because of karma or some agreement or monad, can there be synchronicity or recognition between them because of the significance of that connection, even though the situation itself is unhealthy?

 

VIP: That is a somewhat extreme example, but I want to know whether synchronicity can occur even though the people involved aren't "helping" each other but rather playing out some prior agreement that is not necessarily "pretty".

 

VIP: (I feel it can be tempting to assume that synchronicity or recognition must always mean getting more deeply involved somehow, although your comment about learning how to read synchronicity addresses that.)

 

MEntity:
In response to ViP: Synchronicity ALWAYS aims toward a "positive" outcome and is aligned with deep desires of the Personality and Essence toward full realization of those desires. However, many fragments generate very painful patterns in the life that aim directly away from their deepest desires. When one opens to Synchronicity, it often means tearing down and dismantling the patterns that were so entrenched and opposed to deep desires.

 

And this can be terrifying, painful, ugly, and seem to be the end of the world.

 

When one settles into patterns of contentment over patterns of peace, or settles into patterns of comfort in pain over patterns of fulfillment of pleasures, or settles into patterns of repetition over patterns of responsibility, etc., then Synchronicity can completely disrupt the life, generating a clean slate for choices that one can make toward deeper desires.

 

However, remaining in an abusive relationship is not relevant to any Synchronicity.

 

The abusive relationship is its own thing.

 

If Synchronicity has led one to an abusive relationship, the invitation is not to remain in it, even if one's responses to Synchronicity have led one into it.

 

The invitation will always be there to LEARN from it, but not to remain in it.

 

So to answer your question more succinctly, not all events of Synchronicity are "positive" in appearance or pleasantry, but this tends to only be in cases where patterns require disruption as a means to create more desirable patterns.

 

VIP: Thank you very much Michael

 

MEntity: NEXT, Janet

 

Janet: One continuing string of synchronicity is the frequency with which I pick up reading in my current Seth material -- sometimes after a lengthy hiatus -- and immediately find direct connection to a current topic of interest on TLE or in Michael teachings generally.

 

Janet: I have assumed this string is just related to validation of Seth material vs. Michael material, but it's amusing how often this happens. Is there another theme to this string that I'm missing?

 

MEntity:
From what we can see, the Theme you assessed is exactly that: VALIDATION. One of the more significant means for True Validation is through Synchronicity.

 

This is an important Theme for you because you explore quite intangible territories of teachings and while there may be difficulty validating in experiential terms, Synchronicity helps you to remain open and learning.

 

NEXT, Maureen

 

Maureen: So often when we see Synchronicity at work (or at play) it’s a completed circuit between the workings of our internal world and our external world. I can see that we must have extensive internal communication that works, at a high level of pattern generation and recognition within ourselves, just to exist. This would be seen or sensed as intuition, day dreaming, night dreaming, etc.

 

Maureen: My question: Is Synchronization part of how we communicate within ourselves, whether or not we will see the materialization of these showing up in the physical world?

 

MEntity: If we understand your question, yes, Synchronicity is just one way that this beautifully complex and wondrous multidimensional range of communication and force reveals itself and is ALL YOU. It is happening at all times. It is a default means of existence. It is the default means of interaction and communication with every other sentient and non-sentient consciousness within your range of interactions as Essence. Synchronicity is that moment of completed circuitry between the inner and outer, higher and lower.

 

Maureen: Yes!

 

MEntity:
This is fully understood by Essence, but each Personality that exists within the limitations of the Physical Plane must learn his or her or their own language of Synchronicity.

 

Synchronicity in the higher planes is simply known as Harmony, but in planes where time and space have some substance, Synchronicity is the hand of Harmony.

 

Or the voice, if you will.

 

LAST QUESTION: DianeHB

 

DianeHB: Could you briefly comment on each of the personal examples of synchronicity that we came up with?

 

MEntity:
TO BOBBY: Your assessment is valid. It is a reminder of what you have unapologetically begun to dismantle in your life: a move away from the paradigm of Ingratiation and create a paradigm of Agape, or True Affection. Music plays a great part in your language of Synchronicity.

 

TO CLAIRE: This appears to be pointing to the fact that this "new" individual is far more familiar to you than not. The relationship with your brother-in-law may indicate obstacles or resonance that may come.

 

TO DIANE: The Theme here is all about your having always been a landlocked Mermaid, so to speak. You were always trying to run on dry land when you truly desired the depths of the ocean. Or more practically speaking, you have come to accept your deep desire for the watery medium of emotions and empathy and affection more than the dry land of intellect, information, and ideas.

 

DianeHB: That makes me cry

 

MEntity: JANET and PETER are self-explanatory and fulfilled, and we have commented on MAUREEN and ViP. We think we are complete in our response, then.

 

DianeHB: Thanks!

PeterK: Thanks!

ClaireC: Thanks.

 

MEntity:
Embrace your Synchronicity, the choices they invite, and allow for the messy roads that may be necessary as you align with deeper desires.

 

You can get there. You will get there.

 

Good day to each of you. Goodbye, for now.

 

 

[Guest Matt]

Great material here.  I have an example.  When i was 21 years old i just got hired by an Insurance company Northwestern Mutual and at the same time i was looking for a Fire Department job.  One week after i got hired at Northwestern, i got a job offer at a fire department for the Air Force.  I declined the offer and stayed at Northwestern, everyone thought i was stupid at the time for declining since fire jobs are hard to come by, and if i was not at Northwestern, i would have taken the fire job.  One year later, i got a way better Fire dept job offer that i then accepted, and 15 years later, i am still there.  Looking back, the first Fire department would have been horrible hours, and the base ended up closing and everyone lost their jobs like 5 years later.  

I have also had a few times on TLE where i feel some synchronicity with people and things they bring up. 

[Terri Benning 282]

According to Carl Jung, synchronicity is also a function of the super-conscious mind, which is what many of us refer to as the "collective consciousness", so it makes perfect sense to me that it is a function of a combination of both the higher moving center, and the higher emotional center, in what might be termed "true synchronicity." Great piece of channeling, Troy, I really enjoyed reading the transcript. There were so many synchronizations brought to bear upon my meeting up with my daughter's concurrent in 2012, following her death in 2009 ... and while it provided many answers, insights and opportunities for validation of essence for both of us, it has also served to open up even more and deeper questions in the process, as any truly "Great Mystery" will do, of course. And now I have even more questions about these clusters, strings, themes and also about "adjacent" lifetimes ... so I hope you will delve into these areas of questioning with Michael in subsequent sessions. 

 

One of the more humorous synchronicities that occurred through this "reunion" had to do with what I would call a "validation" theme between the two of us. Two weeks before my daughter passed, we had engaged in a conversation around our favorite versions of "Over The Rainbow" wherein we both concurred that our favorite was from the Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. Little did I know that day that I would soon be creating a memorial tribute to my daughter's life with that same song just a few short weeks later. (I will add it at the end of this post, for reference sake.). Following her memorial service, while driving to the park where we would be gathering to celebrate her life with music, drumming, ceremony, song and eats, a double rainbow manifested over the hills just beyond the park as we were all arriving.

 

Fast-forward to the West Coast Gathering in 2012 at the Wildwood Retreat Center in Guerneville, CA. It's the first night and people are all arriving and getting settled into their rooms, and heading to the dining hall for our first meal together of the long weekend retreat.  I settle down to enjoy my meal when suddenly, Michael North bellows out to me from across the room that he sees a little "Toto" type dog jumping all over me. I truly thought at the time that he was jesting with me (being an old sage and all) about my Animal Wisdom work, which I was going to present over the weekend to the group. I laughed out loud,  I must admit, internally, my self-dep kicked in bit there for a while because I thought he was just making fun of me at the time. So I basically just let it go and focused into my "channeling hat" job for most of the rest of the weekend, as I had a lot of sessions to get done over the weekend.

 

There were a couple of other "syncs" that happened over the course of the weekend between myself and my as yet "unrecognized" daughter's concurrent, where we were brought face to face on several occasions, and she even helped find some batteries for my camera when they ran out. But I was so focused into my channeling work "hat" that nothing registered at all for me either time. She even sat right up at the very front of the group during my Animal Wisdom presentation, and I read her within animal ally for her without a glitch. Lets put it this way, I sure wasn't looking for my daughter on any kind of conscious or personality level at the time, and hadn't had much dream contact with her either for nearly a year prior. I had wondered where she was and what she was up to on the other side, but was in the process of accepting her transition as a part of life that we will all experience one day. Of course, I DID miss her very much, but was not about pulling on her energy to meet my own needs. I was more about letting her go and allowing her to move on with her own business without interference from "Mom". (Let's just say it's not easy being a pyschic's kid, and leave it at that.) 

 

Fast forward again to Sunday noon departure time. Just a few of us were still left in the building, most others had already begun their trek down the long, narrow, winding road off the mountain. By this time, my channeling hat was off, and I was able to just relax back into "me, myself and I" again. I suddenly caught a glimpse of this same young woman I had encountered upon several occasions over the weekend, and it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks! "I wonder if that girl is my daughter's concurrent?" .... out of the clear blue sky, just like that, in an instant. So I followed her into the gift shop where she was working on the computer, and tapped her on the shoulder, asking her if she would join me for just a moment. She said "sure" and so I decided to ask Mike North if this young woman might not be my daughter's concurrent, with her present when I asked. Mike was still sitting in the lounge area and we just happen to catch him between conversations with fellow M students, which is kind of a little minor miracle in itself. LOL. Anyway, so I asked him if this young woman might be my daughter's concurrent, and his answer was: "We've all been talking about it all weekend. Yes, we think so." 

 

With that response, I about dropped my drawers right there on the spot. My daughter always enjoyed shocking me, and her friends in some unexpected way, (C1E3) and boy oh boy, did this ever pull a major move with this one, let me tell ya. So I began to explain to her was a concurrent was, and pretty much cut to the chase re: my daughter's passing three years prior.  Her response? "Sounds like something I would do." ... she didn't even bat an eye. Then I asked her how she came to be working at this extremely remote retreat center out in the middle of nowhere. She explained how about a year prior she just had this very strong "calling" if you will, to move to northern California .... and from where?  KANSAS of all places! Suddenly the image of Toto jumping all over me that Mike North had seen on Friday night, at the beginning of the retreat, and the idea that she had come all the way from KANSAS, and had secured a job at this very WILDwood retreat center was just beyond "causal" comprehension. My first reply to her story was, "Well sweetie, I can tell you we're definitely NOT in Kansas anymore!"

 

And so began a very long process of discovery, healing, learning, adjustments, recognition, validation and big time growth for both of us. And oh, yes, this is pretty amazing too. Not only do they strongly resemble one another in so many ways and on so many levels, they both chose the same names too. My daughter's name was Liana Benning and her concurrent (or adjacent, not sure of the full concept yet) is also named Leigh Ann Brizendine. Leigh Ann Brizendine is just one year older than Liana Benning, which leads me to believe that Essence choose to come back into the time-line just one year prior to the birth of Liana, in order to better co-ordinate the timing on the "re-entry" scenario.  Leigh Ann Brizendine spent enough time with me to meet most all of the "significant" people in Liana's extended family life, and every single one of them saw and "got" the concurrent connection experience directly through this most incredible journey!

 

I would love to write a book about this whole experience with Leigh Ann Brizendine, from each of our perspectives, but I have no clue where to even begin. Perhaps we're writing our living story in the great "Book of Life" (aka: the Akashic Records) and that will be enough. Time will tell. 

 

Quite a complex story of synchronicity, but the channeling from Michael sparked the desire to share it here in response to this thread. Seems a fitting place, although it certain spans some other areas of deep "questioning" too, regarding "adjacent" lifetimes, clusters and strings. 

 

If you made it this far, thank you for taking time to read my post.  I don't post often, but when I do, I seem to have a lot to say ... all at once. :-) 

 

Warmly, Terri 

 

1. The first photo of Leigh Ann Brizendine (daughter's concurrent) and I was taken *right after* we learned about the concurrent connection at the first west coast gathering at Wildwood Retreat Center in 2012. Talk about shock value ... she got me good with this one! 

 

2. The second photo is not super clear, but it is a composite of a photo of my daughter, Liana Benning, on a candle I made for her for the Day of the Dead celebration. (She always loved the Day of the Dead, and was also a major "Dead Head" too. ;-) on the left side of the image, and a photo of her concurrent, Leigh Ann Brizendine on the right side. It's certainly clear enough to get the connection, for sure. 

 

 Liana Benning's Memorial Video that I made for her service. Many, if not all of the Rainbow images used in this video were shot by Liana just a few weeks prior to her passing.

Oups ! I will be careful not using those expressions from now on :-).

For my part, coming to Michael Teaching and TLE was not just one but a cluster of synchronicity!!

I kind of get what Michael is driving at.  As far as I'm concerned you can say these statements without being in conflict with synchronicity.  "leaving it up to the universe" can be just a way to get out of your own way so you can include a wider spectrum of reality.  Are we each not an individual and unique face of the whole universe anyway. put another way. the universe experiencing itself as a fragment.   Besides, aren't we the creators of our own meaning.

@Terri Benning  Lovely story.  Sounds like it may be ongoing.  How do their profiles compare?

[Rosario 8,681]

@Terri Benning  Thanks for sharing  <3 Their eyes convey tranquility and warmth :-)

 

@Maxim  I agree...Seems that Priests are most prone to saying those. Priests 'greatest lesson' is Trust (in life, oneself, people, etc) , and  I sometimes say "let it be" as an acknowledgment of trust in that everything will work out somehow. Also: "Do what is within your reach, and let everything unfold".

 

 

Recently I watched the movie 2:22, which explores synchronicity, patterns and other Michael topics. Beautiful soundtrack, and the actors are eye candy ;-) Perhaps Michiel Huisman is an oldie too .

When I notice sequences of numbers I interpret them as "You are doing well, keep it up".

@Rosario  Wink, wink.  Another piece for me is that when I looked over TLE members you showed up as a crown link.  Easy to grok you.

 

My approach is to perceive and express reality in as many ways as possible to bridge the apparent paradoxes.  In this case when Michael says no I'm seeing yes.  This morning I had this image come to me: when I got to the astral and felt a little closer to Michael in the causal I'd be shaking my fist up at them saying, " you know, you aren't always right" and them in response doing the equivalent of an eye roll.

@Maxim   ? Same!

 

"when I got to the astral and felt a little closer to Michael in the causal I'd be shaking my fist up at them saying, " you know, you aren't always right" and them in response doing the equivalent of an eye roll."

Are you tapping into the story I'm writing ?! LOL  It's about interdimensional 'travel' through meditation/concentration...all the way up to Tao, to save humanity's destiny!  ? I'm having such fun describing colorful scenes in the upper realms...fractals, etheric blueprints, and Music as our great Harmonizer :)

@Terri Benning  Lovely story.  Sounds like it may be ongoing.  How do their profiles compare?

 

Hi Mox! Thanks for your response and interest in our ongoing story. :-) 

 

According to JP Van Hulle's channeling of her casting placements, this "essence" is in cadre 1, entity 3, block 6 (Priest = Underlying Motivation of SALVATION), row 3 (Warrior - Global Job of SACRIFICE) and position 6 (Priest = Community Responsibility of COURAGE) fragment raw number #608 on the LOVE side of the entity. 

 

In terms of Personality level dynamics, the overleaves are nearly directly opposite on the same axis. All that was held in "reserve" mode and stoic attitude for Liana (on the inside), is now being expressed in full on the outside through the choice of Passion mode and Idealist attitude for Leigh Ann. Quite an interesting evolution on the 3rd old artisan theme of expression, and the repression, of such. Both of them are excellent portrait artists with a flare for capturing the *essence* of their subjects. I'll add a couple of photos of their respective work from each.

 

Of note here, in their artistic works, my daughter, Liana, learned to do grid portraits in 7th grade and did an excellent piece of Charlie Sheen, which hung in the principle's office for the duration of that school year. In that same artistic frame, Leigh Ann Brizendine then evolved this work through her multidimensional grid portraits of famous singers in her college years at Chico State University in California. The interplay of their co-creative explorations can be seen in their respective artworks, which is truly amazing. And Leigh Ann Brizendine has requested to complete a painting started by Liana Benning that has yet to have been completed. So yes, this artisan story is very much still a work in progress. :-) Literally! 

 

Liana Jane Benning  (Overleaves)

Role and Soul Age: 3rd old Artisan

Goal: Growth

Attitude: Idealist

Centering: Intellectual, Emotional part

According to Carl Jung, synchronicity is also a function of the super-conscious mind, which is what many of us refer to as the "collective consciousness", so it makes perfect sense to me that it is a function of a combination of both the higher moving center, and the higher emotional center, in what might be termed "true synchronicity." Great piece of channeling, Troy, I really enjoyed reading the transcript. There were so many synchronizations brought to bear upon my meeting up with my daughter's concurrent in 2012, following her death in 2009 ... and while it provided many answers, insights and opportunities for validation of essence for both of us, it has also served to open up even more and deeper questions in the process, as any truly "Great Mystery" will do, of course. And now I have even more questions about these clusters, strings, themes and also about "adjacent" lifetimes ... so I hope you will delve into these areas of questioning with Michael in subsequent sessions. 

 

One of the more humorous synchronicities that occurred through this "reunion" had to do with what I would call a "validation" theme between the two of us. Two weeks before my daughter passed, we had engaged in a conversation around our favorite versions of "Over The Rainbow" wherein we both concurred that our favorite was from the Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. Little did I know that day that I would soon be creating a memorial tribute to my daughter's life with that same song just a few short weeks later. (I will add it at the end of this post, for reference sake.). Following her memorial service, while driving to the park where we would be gathering to celebrate her life with music, drumming, ceremony, song and eats, a double rainbow manifested over the hills just beyond the park as we were all arriving.

 

Fast-forward to the West Coast Gathering in 2012 at the Wildwood Retreat Center in Guerneville, CA. It's the first night and people are all arriving and getting settled into their rooms, and heading to the dining hall for our first meal together of the long weekend retreat.  I settle down to enjoy my meal when suddenly, Michael North bellows out to me from across the room that he sees a little "Toto" type dog jumping all over me. I truly thought at the time that he was jesting with me (being an old sage and all) about my Animal Wisdom work, which I was going to present over the weekend to the group. I laughed out loud,  I must admit, internally, my self-dep kicked in bit there for a while because I thought he was just making fun of me at the time. So I basically just let it go and focused into my "channeling hat" job for most of the rest of the weekend, as I had a lot of sessions to get done over the weekend.

 

There were a couple of other "syncs" that happened over the course of the weekend between myself and my as yet "unrecognized" daughter's concurrent, where we were brought face to face on several occasions, and she even helped find some batteries for my camera when they ran out. But I was so focused into my channeling work "hat" that nothing registered at all for me either time. She even sat right up at the very front of the group during my Animal Wisdom presentation, and I read her within animal ally for her without a glitch. Lets put it this way, I sure wasn't looking for my daughter on any kind of conscious or personality level at the time, and hadn't had much dream contact with her either for nearly a year prior. I had wondered where she was and what she was up to on the other side, but was in the process of accepting her transition as a part of life that we will all experience one day. Of course, I DID miss her very much, but was not about pulling on her energy to meet my own needs. I was more about letting her go and allowing her to move on with her own business without interference from "Mom". (Let's just say it's not easy being a pyschic's kid, and leave it at that.) 

 

Fast forward again to Sunday noon departure time. Just a few of us were still left in the building, most others had already begun their trek down the long, narrow, winding road off the mountain. By this time, my channeling hat was off, and I was able to just relax back into "me, myself and I" again. I suddenly caught a glimpse of this same young woman I had encountered upon several occasions over the weekend, and it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks! "I wonder if that girl is my daughter's concurrent?" .... out of the clear blue sky, just like that, in an instant. So I followed her into the gift shop where she was working on the computer, and tapped her on the shoulder, asking her if she would join me for just a moment. She said "sure" and so I decided to ask Mike North if this young woman might not be my daughter's concurrent, with her present when I asked. Mike was still sitting in the lounge area and we just happen to catch him between conversations with fellow M students, which is kind of a little minor miracle in itself. LOL. Anyway, so I asked him if this young woman might be my daughter's concurrent, and his answer was: "We've all been talking about it all weekend. Yes, we think so." 

 

With that response, I about dropped my drawers right there on the spot. My daughter always enjoyed shocking me, and her friends in some unexpected way, (C1E3) and boy oh boy, did this ever pull a major move with this one, let me tell ya. So I began to explain to her was a concurrent was, and pretty much cut to the chase re: my daughter's passing three years prior.  Her response? "Sounds like something I would do." ... she didn't even bat an eye. Then I asked her how she came to be working at this extremely remote retreat center out in the middle of nowhere. She explained how about a year prior she just had this very strong "calling" if you will, to move to northern California .... and from where?  KANSAS of all places! Suddenly the image of Toto jumping all over me that Mike North had seen on Friday night, at the beginning of the retreat, and the idea that she had come all the way from KANSAS, and had secured a job at this very WILDwood retreat center was just beyond "causal" comprehension. My first reply to her story was, "Well sweetie, I can tell you we're definitely NOT in Kansas anymore!"

 

And so began a very long process of discovery, healing, learning, adjustments, recognition, validation and big time growth for both of us. And oh, yes, this is pretty amazing too. Not only do they strongly resemble one another in so many ways and on so many levels, they both chose the same names too. My daughter's name was Liana Benning and her concurrent (or adjacent, not sure of the full concept yet) is also named Leigh Ann Brizendine. Leigh Ann Brizendine is just one year older than Liana Benning, which leads me to believe that Essence choose to come back into the time-line just one year prior to the birth of Liana, in order to better co-ordinate the timing on the "re-entry" scenario.  Leigh Ann Brizendine spent enough time with me to meet most all of the "significant" people in Liana's extended family life, and every single one of them saw and "got" the concurrent connection experience directly through this most incredible journey!

 

I would love to write a book about this whole experience with Leigh Ann Brizendine, from each of our perspectives, but I have no clue where to even begin. Perhaps we're writing our living story in the great "Book of Life" (aka: the Akashic Records) and that will be enough. Time will tell. 

 

Quite a complex story of synchronicity, but the channeling from Michael sparked the desire to share it here in response to this thread. Seems a fitting place, although it certain spans some other areas of deep "questioning" too, regarding "adjacent" lifetimes, clusters and strings. 

 

If you made it this far, thank you for taking time to read my post.  I don't post often, but when I do, I seem to have a lot to say ... all at once. :-) 

 

Warmly, Terri 

 

1. The first photo of Leigh Ann Brizendine (daughter's concurrent) and I was taken *right after* we learned about the concurrent connection at the first west coast gathering at Wildwood Retreat Center in 2012. Talk about shock value ... she got me good with this one! 

 

2. The second photo is not super clear, but it is a composite of a photo of my daughter, Liana Benning, on a candle I made for her for the Day of the Dead celebration. (She always loved the Day of the Dead, and was also a major "Dead Head" too. ;-) on the left side of the image, and a photo of her concurrent, Leigh Ann Brizendine on the right side. It's certainly clear enough to get the connection, for sure. 

 

 Liana Benning's Memorial Video that I made for her service. Many, if not all of the Rainbow images used in this video were shot by Liana just a few weeks prior to her passing.

Speaking of synchronicity, a good friend of mine, Robin Rather, just posted this article to her FB page today. Gotta love it. :-) 

 

The Scarab and the Fox: How Jung Navigated by Synchronicity

@Terri Benning  I just saw your last two posts--way too many posts here for me to keep up.

 

I would have to imagine that you and the essence of Liana/Leigh Ann have some history.  Mainly I've heard the idea of meeting your concurrent can be a disconcerting experience, but you as a third party meeting the two of them must have been so sweet.  I'm still WOWed by the very idea of it.  It must have opened up many circuits.  Similar encounters of concurrents would certainly do a lot not only for validation but verification of these ideas.  The profiles check out.

 

Re: Jung.  Fascinnating character.  Must be an old priest.  I once saw a movie that is now on youtube, Matter of Heart, about him.

Wow, it took a while before I found a topic about synchronicity. Nice review from Michael. Personally, I've experienced so much synchronicity in my adult life that it is almost ridiculous. I learnt quite soon to consider it as guidance. Sometimes "coincidences" warned me about somebody and sometimes they put me in bizarre situations or just try to show me signs.

 

I just want to share a series of quite recent synchronicities of my life:

 

Several years ago I had a series of dreams, which made me think of a new therapy for addictions. I won't go to details, but it's actually an invention. I did a lot of homework and research to figure out if my approach could work and if somebody else has already tried this. Nope. Soon I realized that I can't do this alone. At that point, I had no team and my idea didn't go anywhere.

 

Then a colleague of mine called and asked if I know anything about addictions. Her husband was in rehab for compulsive gambling and she got interested in addiction-research. Well, BINGO, she found the right person to her side. She had already called a bunch of people who could help in this area and so we finally had a team. We worked on on several ideas, my original idea among them. Unfortunally, we didn't get funds for our research, so we didn't know what to do next.

 

Then I got an advertisement through email that there is a new society for inventors in our area. It was meant for private persons who do not operate through big companies. Well, I was such a person. I went to a meeting where the guys who had started this society and it turned out that there were two of them and the other one was my first love back from the 1980's. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to join the society, but my ex asked about my invention and wanted me in. It also turned out, after a social gathering, that the society is full of my acquaintances, who had suddenly got some innovative ideas. I even found an other ex from the club - he was the one, who actually got me interest in addictions in the first place. He used to be a compulsive gambler. ?

Earlier today, my friend accidentally called my friend group's group chat through snapchat. I never knew snapchat had a voice let alone group voice feature.

So I went on it wondering what was happening. I was completely clueless who called at first and didn't realize they already hung up, so I myself accidentally called back on the chat two times.

All without knowing.

Eventually my friend picked up & asked me why I called- which confused me because I thought someone else did. She said she accidentally called while on break at work & hung up, then said I called back twice. So lol wut.

 

Anyways we ended up chatting a bit on her break, then another friend came in who just happened to have gotten home from work- so we all made some loose plans for the future to meet up around halloween.

I haven't talked with these friends for a long time now, since we've all been so busy- and thus this all came out of the blue.

I finished chatting with them after a few minutes of catching up & thought it was a weird coincidence. Then I remembered the Ms did a session on synchronicity vs coincidence. I wasn't going to look at it again, but I logged onto TLE and checked the "who's online" page as I usually do. Turned out someone was on the Synchronicity page! So I came here lol.

I had a few small synchronicities earlier today as well, but I don't remember them anymore. I think I will dig into my past and go synchronicity hunting to find some cool threads of experience.

One I remembered was the complete accident in finding TLE.
