Synchronicity

This is a clip from the Look Again Podcast. The topic of discussion is synchronicity and intuition. The group discusses how synchronicity shows up in your life, how to tap into it, and how to promote the awareness of synchronicities.

Please note: This podcast contains explicit language.

Yeah,

There are definitely those synchronicities where you might not get it right away.

It's something that is kind of stuck in your mind and you're thinking about it,

You're thinking about it,

You're thinking about it.

You may stop thinking about it,

But then at some point something else happens related to that synchronicity.

Like,

Oh,

That's what the fuck that was.

This long path getting there,

But in that instant you might not have got it.

I'm sure it's happened to all of us,

But it's those things that you slowly start to put together like it's a big puzzle and you're trying to put it together,

But you can't figure it out that a piece just happens to fall into place.

You're like,

Okay,

That's what that other thing was.

And so I'm actually kind of curious.

How do you think we tap into it?

How do you think we make it happen more?

How do we plant that garden and grow the synchronicities?

Because obviously it sounds like these things are good and beneficial.

How do you think we promote it?

I think it's just honestly waking up your consciousness to be visible or to be able to see these signs that the universe is trying to show you.

And once you kind of see things repeating themselves,

I think you just have to be mindful of it and figure out an interpretation of what that sign is trying to show you.

I think you got to clear the clutter out too,

Because there's a lot of mental clutter because we're stimulated constantly walking around on your phone with Instagram or I know Boom Beach is one of my things.

I'll never let my civilization die.

I don't even know what that is.

I love some Boom Beach.

It's one of those mini like app games.

Yeah.

So like between that,

Messing around on Facebook or just getting caught in never,

Never ending stream of emails or watching TV or like just like the inner dialogue of you being pissed off at somebody and not being able to get it out of your mind.

It's like all this clutter that's going on inside of you.

You got to be able to still that to be able to see the synchronicities because they're always happening.

It's never not happening around you.

Just a matter of you can still yourself enough.

And like Oppman said,

Be aware of it enough to see those signs that are all around you all the time.

If you're not aware of it and you got all that clutter,

You're never going to see it,

But they're still going to be happening.

You just won't notice them.

I definitely agree with them.

As you look at it and you become more conscious.

So then when you're able to be able to remove this clutter that Ali's talking about,

Like you clear the clutter,

Right?

Then it allows you to be more present.

You are more present and aware.

That's when I think the synchronicity start coming in.

Presence is a prerequisite to having a synchronicity.

And what I've noticed is like a lot of synchronicities can happen through a digital platform,

But it's usually through reality in which it's understood.

No,

That's just Instagram listening to what you're saying and putting stuff on your Instagram.

I don't know if that's synchronicities.

Like when you're talking about dog food and then all of a sudden there's like dog food guys,

That's not synchronicity.

But I feel like it's divine order.

I do feel like I knew I wanted to buy that.

So like we're creatures of emotion and we follow these things.

And I feel like marketing teams for big businesses have now have technology in which that will use that emotion against us to sell things.

So they'll try and like make things seem synchronistic.

You know,

So that's kind of weird too,

Because then there's like false synchronicities and which are being created.

And I guess that's why it's really good to clear the brain clutter,

Because then you'll know how to decipher the messages in which we are receiving.

Because there's synchronicities everywhere.

We got to be able to be adult enough and responsible enough to understand what's happening.

Definitely.

And I think one thing with synchronicities I've noticed is that when you're out of tune,

Your life is a lot more frictional and a lot more chaotic and you live with a lot more stress.

So like when you're not in tune and you're for whatever reason,

If you're intentionally shutting off the synchronicities or there's a lot going on and you're going through an emotional time or an angry time or depressed time,

Whatever is going on and you're blocked from those synchronicities,

Your life is a lot more chaotic and a lot more frictional.

Like when you're in tune with the synchronicities,

Things flow a lot more smoothly.

Like you're moving on your path and you're getting there and you're getting there.

Like things are going to happen.

But when you're totally off from your synchronicities and you're not in tune with it,

It's usually a really rough spot in your life where you just feel like you're alone.

You're not getting any help.

You got the blinders on and you can't really see.

So it's just,

It's always good to try to be in tune with them.

I think that's a good judge of the way that you live in your life at that point is the frequency of the synchronicities that are around you,

Your awareness of them.

Because when you're totally shut off from them,

It can be a very isolated and lonely place to live and way to live.

I know one story that pops into my mind as far as being deep into your practice and being aware of the synchronicities.

I remember when we were broke as hell,

Didn't have jobs,

Didn't have any money,

Couldn't buy clothes,

My shoes.

I think they were like champion shoes that I got from like high school basketball.

And I went to a club and I got invited to the club and it was a Russell Simmons party.

And I had no money for drinks and I didn't even know how I was going to get in.

And I ended up seeing one of my buddies,

Yuck,

Down there.

He got me in for free.

Then I'm like,

Well,

I'm broke as hell.

I can't get any drinks.

I run into my buddy,

James Bentley,

And he's like,

I got,

You know,

All these free drinks and bottles over here,

You know,

Come over here and get some drinks with me.

And then to top it off,

At the end of the night,

Reverend Rung was actually in the club and he was giving away his brand new shoes for promotional things.

So I got a free pair of shoes too.

And it was really one of those things.

I was like,

Man,

Like Universe,

Are you telling me that like,

If I keep doing your work,

The Universe is going to be on my team?

And it seems like it.

Yeah,

I feel like during that time was a magical time for the three of us.

We were dead broke on Smallwood Street,

Just all about service and doing the work and not really worrying about anything else.

And the Universe was definitely looking out for us.

Like we would just,

I think we were in tune to it also.

I mean,

Because we had tons of time to practice and not a lot of other stuff going on,

But we were very,

Very,

Very well taken care of.

And I think we kind of shock other people.

Like the fact that we weren't really worried about any of that stuff,

We were like,

No,

No,

The Universe has got us.

We just keep doing the work and like the things that we needed were just synchronistically just fall into our laps.

Couple things would happen and then boom,

It was there.

And we would need something else and a couple things would happen and boom,

That other thing was there.

So it was just,

I mean,

I think the magic is still there.

I don't think it was just,

It's not there.

I think it's just a lot more going on now.

Like back then the Holistic Life Foundation was us working with some kids in the afternoon,

Like 15 kids in the afternoon and then a couple other things during the day,

But we had more time.

I think now it's just with all the other things we have to put mental energy in too.

It's harder to clear it all to see the magic going on around us,

But it's still there.

And when we do take the time to clear,

You can see it clear as day,

But it's just,

I think there's so many other distractions and things going on.

Like it's just a little harder to see,

But it's still there.

I think at that time we were just so open to it.

We were just being dragged onto our path like it was just like easily.

It's not that crazy of a concept,

But more and more I'm thinking about it.

It's just really paying attention.

If you don't pay attention when you're walking through a room,

You're going to stumble,

You're going to bump something,

You're going to hit something.

It's the same way in life.

If you don't pay attention to these synchronicities,

It's going to make it harder for you.

If you're not paying attention,

You're going to go in debt,

Synchronistic at debt.

Here's the question.

How is synchronicities different from intuition and how do they both inform each other and how did they show up?

I was thinking about this while preparing for this podcast.

I was like intuition and synchronicity,

They kind of have a similar vibe,

But they're not the same.

And I have an idea of what I want to say,

But I'm kind of curious what y'all want to add to that.

So I think synchronicities,

At least for what I feel synchronicities are more of an external thing,

Things that are around you that you have to be aware of and you experience that lead you in a certain direction.

Intuition is more of an internal thing.

It's more of a feeling or something you hear from outside,

But the internal voice in your head or feeling you get energetically leading you in a.

.

.

And it could be leading you in the same direction as that synchronicity.

And I feel like synchronicity is more external and intuition is more of an internal thing.

I had to point out that in the middle of Ali answering that last question,

He pointed at the clock and it's 11 11.

I just did my screenshot.

It never stops.

Never stops.

Yeah.

I'd have to agree with Ali too.

I think that it's the synchronicities are more on the physical level where it's like physical signs and intuition is more internal where you might,

Like Ali said,

Hear a thought or a voice or something that might guide you.

And like Ali said,

To that same destination to alleviate whatever stress or chaos that may have been at the end of the path if you didn't follow those signs and synchronicities and intuition.

So I think that's a difference,

The physical and internal.

And the funny thing is I feel like people are more in tune or more inclined to follow their synchronicities than their intuition because people don't really trust themselves.

So I think there's tons of times and tons of people where people like they'll get a gut feeling about someone or something and they'll ignore it.

But if they see a sign on the outside,

They're more likely to follow that and to accept that because it's not them.

It's like,

Nah,

Well,

I'm not,

You know what I mean?

It's like some sense of I'm not worthy of this or I don't trust myself enough,

But I'll trust an external sign,

But I won't trust that internal sign.

So we almost trust something outside more than we trust inside.

So we almost need to develop our inner trust a little bit more.

Totally.

Yeah.

I mean,

In the build on what they're saying,

I definitely just,

I think they're different,

But they're very related.

You know,

It's like the intuition allows you to experience the synchronicity almost more often,

You know,

And it doesn't necessarily need to,

You know,

You could have,

I think the synchronicity can occur without intuition helping you out.

But I think a lot of times,

At least in my experience for me,

It's something in my being tells me grab the change,

Grab the pencil.

And then I notice either later on in that day that a synchronicity occurred or it didn't occur based on what that decision was.

You know,

Like if I would have grabbed the pencil,

I needed the pencil later on in the day,

Or if I would have grabbed that change,

It would have helped me.

So I either listen to the intuition or I don't.

And then that allows for synchronicities to occur.

Yes.

You know,

Just like they're saying an intuition is more inside your being present and it's like the universe is trying to give you clues.

The synchronicity I think is something outside where it's like an event or an occurrence that happens.

Yeah,

I know you keep bringing up the change thing.

I know I always feel like such a jackass when I'm like walking out the house and I'll see some change sitting on my dress and I was like,

I should grab that.

Like,

No,

I don't need it.

And then I'll have to randomly have to go somewhere in park and I won't have changed the park and I'm like,

Fuck,

I should just grab that change.

I was sitting right there staring me in the face.

I should just listen to myself,

Drop it in my pocket and I would have been cool right now.
