Peace and Synchronicity

The other day I was working on a chapter to my book about peace.  I talked to my best friend and read the chapter and his question to me was “Yea, but what does it feel like.  Take us all into that feeling”.  So, my focus became peace.
Then I described a prisitne day with my mom from half a life ago.  I described the feeling of peace.  Later, I called my mom and she brought that day up without me mentioning it.
I picked up my wonderful 90 year old friend and we went to dinner.  When the fortune cookie arrived mine said “I love peace”.

I went to listen to Deva Primal and Miten Primal sing.  Krishna Das and folks were doing Kirtan.  They invoked peace.

The synchronicity of the day, the focus on peace…. it all wound itself into a beautiful reflection that is ending up in my book.  I love it when patterns create the support for each next step.

How do you feel about synchronicity?

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

I don't believe in coincidences and believe whole heartedly in synchronicity.
You had been asked a very difficult question “What does it feel like?” and the Universe decided to give you a healthy dose of very conveyable moments that can easily be absorbed by not only you, but those who will read your work.  I know you will find a way to weave that day of examples of your focusing on peace and having it arrive in so many forms into the chapter you are writing.  It reminds us that we are not alone and that what we focus on can come to fruition.


Maybe not quite that fast, but, sooner or later……………

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

I agree.  There are no accidents.

The chapter, itself, is done.  Now I'm working on a chapter on healing.

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

I believe in connections of events and look for those connections… I seek synchronicity-I try to  see patterns though it may not be clear until after a certain shift in life or event… hindsight as they say is 20/20

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

I would be interested in a link to your book on peace :)

syncronicity for me is being in tune with the measure of music around me. realizing that it all is a part of the form that creates what key it is in for that moment. picking up the phone and saying “hi ruby” when it is her, long before caller id was availible. was a measurment for me to know that my friend was on the other end of the phone reaching out to me.

when my partner worked across town, and he got sick, I in turn would get sick at the same time. or vice versa. connected to the gears of the universe. being one with ourselves and others and all that is.

I think this is the basis of psychic awareness. being sensitive to the currents of energy around us. feeling all things even the plants in nature, and realizing that even they have a part in a song.

often one of my two guys will bring up something seperate from me, five minutes later I will join them and mention the same thing, that I was thinking at the same time. this is peace for me, knowing that all is availible to me.

recently I warned one of my partners about the psychic vampires on the streets of our home town madison wisconsin usa. not even two hours later, he got drunk, and brought someone to our home who had stolen some things. I knew this had happened, but didn't stop it, this was me being slightly out of sycnch with my surroundings, knowing an event is one thing, but taking action to avoid the warning that the syncronicity is telling us is quite another no?

funny you bring this stuff up, its part of my meditations of late for my own book which concerns homosexuality and the christian bible. to many souls hurting, currently the book is at 23,000 words! lol

I truly hope that whatever you consider to be syncronice with the world around us, feeds your soul today. I am doing my best for that, this is for sure, oh yeah still trying to quite smoking, and not doing so well. so I guess I know that I am not G*d. :P

I think at times were to hard on ourselves, we need to laugh at our naked body in the mirror!

peace

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

I love synchronicity.  I think it is an occurring all the time, and when I pause to notice is a great reminder that there is a source greater than me.

BWW - My book is called “In my thoughts and prayers” (working title).  It is a collection of my prayer drawings and each chapter holds my thoughts on whatever the prayer was.  This chapter was on Peace, but I have a wide variety. 

Essentially I think it all comes back to love.  I mean, doesn't everything.

I'm glad you're working on that book.  I think it is a beautiful place to heal a wound.  I have an enormous opinion around the topic, but I think I will actually create that under the hodgepodge discussion (ohhhh what did I call that).  Anyway, look there for what I believe to be true.

Thank you for your wonderful sharing. 

Re: Peace and Synchronicity

oh I so agree with you about LOVE LOVE LOVE

I believe that true religion or belief of any kind can be summed up in that one word.

When we are not loving we are contentious, when contentious, we become mean, with meanness comes lack of self control and infusion of self doubt. when we feed the hungry, or clothe the cold, giving them a place to live, etc etc. that is love, unconditionally, the desire to have compassion for all. rather than those who are “saved”, the righteous are not the real world. the real world is down in the streets. I have a theory about “towers of babel”, most often I see churches or religious organizations balloon up with a lot of people as members, this is true of secular organizations who do good too. once the movement gets to big, G*d has to thin them out some, so that each one can do the work they were meant to do, rather than getting caught up in the frenzy of the madness of being a part of the pinacle of power. the thining out can seem painful, but if one picks up their tools and continues doing the good work, they find that they never really were disillusioned. cultiviating the garden of love is a difficult thing no? many thorns and thistles in among the beautiful flowers.

peace beautiful flowers
