Introduction
Many are still sceptical about synchronicity, which C. G. Jung defined as "meaningful coincidence of two or more events where something other than the probability of chance is involved".
The scepticism is not surprising - regular experience of synchronicity is not common, it cannot be forced and therefore often cannot be replicated in controlled
environment. Many (such
as D. J. Hand) claim that these coincidences are meaningless and can be fully explained by probability calculus.
Prior to year ~2017 that was precisely my view, but then I've experienced a physiological transformation and started experiencing synchronicity regularly. Quickly, it became obvious that the odds
for the experienced synchronicity being a random coincidence are infinitesimal.
Synchronicity seems to be highly correlated with mentality and lack of force. It is
deeply correlated
with subconsciousness and long-term operation rather than conscious short-term [re]actions of force. Experiences of synchronicity should thus be growing with growing number
of
non-polarized people, making it even harder to dismiss as meaningless coincidence.
Episodes of
overwhelming
synchronicity, however, are linked to psychosis and may be
dangerous for some people (mostly because they are in an environment that treats people experiencing
synchronicity as patients).
However, those whose minds survive this
psychosis generally become different people than they were before. This change seems to be generally positive, increasing well-being and overall understanding of
nature by the individual. One of my hypotheses is that such transformation is, in fact, transformation of a polarized mind into a neutral one - enabling development of
strongly focused, rational and unbiased thoughts. But this isn't just a transformation of consciousness, it involves changes in both body and mind.
Mental connections are generally non-observable. Non-observable connections in meaningful synchronicity may be interpreted as mental connections, but, in CR, even mental connections (or pathways
for information exchange) are physical at some scale. That scale is simply unobservable from our perspective due to intrinsic limitations of observers. The limitations are required for the
existence.
Furthermore, from my own experience, I have found many events that happened long ago (which, considered alone, had no significant meaning at the time) deeply correlated with events happened
to me in the future (providing significant meaning to the past event), implying strong determinism in local evolution (equivalent to genetic coding in standard lifeforms).
Thus, what one considers meaningless at one point in time could become meaningful at some other point in time. I refer to such events as signals of synchronicity or signs. With rising
experience in synchronicity, one could recognize potential signs and perhaps predict certain future events. Again, however, the recognition and interpretation of these signals can be more
religious or more scientific, depending on the experience and the method of deduction. In any case, this is a domain of stochastic mathematics.
It appears that nature is interpreting time as a dimension of space, so just like points separated in space, points separated in time exist simultaneously. The moment of now can be interpreted as
a superposition of past and future. The experience of now is a simultaneous experience of past and future. The reason we usually cannot see far into the future is the strong focus of
consciousness - shortening the moment of now. In other words, the superposition/experience of past and future is, for us, strongly localized. Mathematically, this can be interpreted
as wavefunction collapse. Consciousness can be delocalized, at which point the experience may be stretched far into the past and future, but this doesn't appear to be something we can usually
control. I hypothesize, however, that deeper levels of consciousness are less localized, and this is why synchronicity is highly correlated with subconscious. The experience of synchronicity may
thus be a signal that we are being controlled or guided by our subconscious. Overwhelming synchronicity and associated behaviour (sometimes interpreted as psychosis) is then probably a signal that
our subconscious has taken the wheel. Indeed, after I have survived overwhelming synchronicity, I can confidently say now that at the time I was not my self. This explains why
people who experience this commonly behave like prophets during the time. At least some of their prophecies are probably true. The dates, however, are unlikely to be true. Why? Because to these
prophets the future is in the moment of now, so they will use dates close to the present. I know I did, but I am not alone. Even one of the most famous prophets, J. Christ, announced the
apocalypse just about the corner.
With the current state of climate and the environment, many of us feel the apocalypse now really is, or very close to being, just about the corner. Paradoxically, in order for this kind
of prophecies to become true, the serious prophets must not be taken seriously. In order for the prophecy of Christ to be fulfilled, for example, the Christians must not follow the Christ, for the
prophet was - with his humble life - working against the prophecy, or at least was not contributing to its realization. Apparently, the determinism in local evolution is so strong that people are
convinced they have no choice but to follow the money. I guess a god on a dollar bill is there to fool their subconscious into thinking that, by following the money, they follow the Christ. Ignorance of
subconscious/synchronicity is the ignorance of future [and past]. This might sound like preaching, but no, I do not consider that ignorance as something absolutely bad. By sacrificing the
prophet/subconscious, people might have sacrificed their future human nature, because once the subconscious is lost, nothing will prevent the annihilation of human nature. But I believe
their lives will go on, albeit in a less complex form, actually more adapted to short-term interests. They won't be able to infinitely grow and do much harm with subdued cognition. In other
words, they will have no choice but to be good for the planet. I don't see the choice between the Christ and money as a choice between the good and bad. I see it as a choice between the
freedom of the mind and preservation of the physical body. Absolute freedom of the mind is absolute death, absolute preservation of the body is absolute lack of mind. Neither is
possible. Personally, I have been oscillating significantly between the sides, but I believe I am destined to settle somewhere in between because that is what I seem to desire.
Definitions
Synchronization
Synchronization of events is simultaneous occurrence of events. Simultaneous occurrence (synchronization) can be forced (causal) or non-forced (acausal), although the interpretation is
relative. Events can be synchronized in time (localized to the same point in time) and/or space (localized to the same point in space). Strength or magnitude of synchronization is proportional to
its localization.
Note, however, one may choose to make a distinction between events and phenomena, with localization in space being synchronization of phenomena, and synchronization in time being localization of
events.
Apart from simultaneous occurrence, synchronized events can be more or less correlated in other ways.
Synchronization can be relatively self-sustaining, stable or unstable, transient or permanent, periodic or non-periodic. It may also transition from forced to non-forced synchronization.
Consider a person waking up daily to an alarm from a clock at specific time. At first, the awakening is a forced reaction to alarm, but with time the body may start anticipating the alarm and the
awakening may at times happen even moments before the alarm - when, effectively, from some reference frames the alarm may even be interpreted as reaction to anticipation. With increasing relativity
in causality, thus, it becomes harder to interpret the synchronization as forced.
In fact, in CR, causality is generally just a special case of synchronization.
It might seem that once the body becomes synchronized with the alarm, the alarm becomes unnecessary, but that is only true if the biological clock with time becomes adjusted to the alarm clock,
otherwise the awakening time will converge to the biological alarm time.
Synchronicity
Synchronicity is any non-forced synchronization of highly correlated events (events whose correlation/entanglement goes beyond the localization in space/time).
It can be interpreted as relatively random, pseudo-random or non-random. CR, however, postulates that correlated/entangled phenomena are all connected through associated fields of potential of some
scale. Negative excitations (attractors) in this field then (with associated gradients in potential) guide correlated events to localize near the points of attractors in space/time.
Note, however, that excitations can be positive - leading to repulsion of correlated events.
This implies there is no such thing as absolute randomness, and any apparent randomness is a consequence of inherent limits in observation. From the above, it is easy to see that other physical
fields - such as the gravitational field, represent reduced cases of this general field of entanglement.
Note now that the interpretation of the excitation is relative as well. Take two equal electric charges, for example. Here, from the perspective of any of these charges, the excitation of the other
will be interpreted as positive. The same excitation will be interpreted as negative in case of two opposite electric charges. The relativity is scale invariant and exists in more
complex excitations/correlations as well. The same person, for example, may repel some people, while attracting other.
Now one can explain why some people experience synchronicity regularly, while others experience it rarely, or never - some people are simply localized with negative excitations, some with
positive, and some with neither (or both simultaneously). And these excitations can be of various strength.
Since they are highly correlated with the state of mind, they are highly correlated with consciousness and consciousness itself should probably be interpreted as field excitation (with complexity
proportional to excitation strength, which may be, among other things, guiding organismal growth and development through time).
Synchronicity conforms to general oscillation and may differ in frequency, intensity and magnitude. If synchronicity guides local evolution/development it may be interpreted as genetic.
Non-genetic synchronicity has no apparent significant effects on local evolution and may be considered pseudo-random, similarly to non-intentional synchronization of weakly related
events. With increasing frequency, intensity and magnitude, a non-genetic synchronicity, however, may be a precursor to genetic synchronicity.
Correlation of synchronicity with [sub]consciousness by itself does not imply deeper meaning - just as the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon does not imply deeper
meaning. Thus, while the evidence strongly suggests synchronicity should not be questioned, any assigned meaning certainly should. That does not imply there is no deeper meaning, certainly not for
the one experiencing synchronicity - our consciousness may experience synchronicity, but our subconscious may even mediate it to some degree. Finally, just as the Moon affects the Earth and its
development (whether the Earth is asking itself what is the Moon doing here or not), synchronicity too can have a profound effect on those experiencing it.
One example of non-genetic synchronicity relative to species (and thus relative also to the host - which might be interpreted as god to these species) are genetic mutations of an
individual (whether due to interaction with disease or soul/body incompatibility).
Although these mutations affect genetic code, they are highly localized and short-lived. Only when becoming global, they become precursors to genetic synchronicity.

Frequency of synchronicity
Frequency of synchronicity is a measure of the amount (number) of synchronicity events per a unit of time.
Intensity of synchronicity
The intensity of synchronicity is proportional to number of events synchronized or correlated in a particular event.
Magnitude of synchronicity
The magnitude of synchronicity is a measure of the scale of its effect.
Signs of synchronicity = signals of synchronicity
Signs, or signals, of synchronicity, are events correlated with an event in future (e.g., precursor events).
Such signals are omnipresent. However, detection and proper interpretation of signals of synchronicity, generally requires experience and a well-developed sense of synchronicity.
Added chapter Discontinuities in time.
Discontinuities in time
According to CR, physical laws are relatively scale-invariant, but different scales of energy are entangled and often coupled. Also, at times, mathematical operations between different scales such as addition (see CR chapter The Unification: Relativistic time) will
be allowed. Scales will also at times collapse, and these collapses will be associated with discontinuities.
Such collapses do not happen only in space, they happen in time too. Nature, generally, does not discriminate between space and time as we usually do.
In nature, time is relatively cyclic and usually highly correlated with angular (e.g., orbital) motion at some scale. On large and small scales, behaviour of energy is generally very predictable due to this evident periodicity.
But how random are events in between? Per CR postulates, randomness cannot be absolute, and relative periodicity for relatively equivalent events must exist in certain reference frames.
And this is achieved with non-discriminative treatment of scales. In example, we generally treat one day and one month (periods correlated with angular momenta of large scale bodies) differently.
Adding 2 days to a 30-day month will become a period of 32 days. But nature sometimes/somewhere normalizes cyclic periods of different scale, treating days and months equally, so 2 days + 1 month
becomes equal to 3 periods, or 3 quanta of angular momentum.
Thus, relatively equal phenomena occurring in space might appear to us as happening randomly, but from a proper reference frame - they are happening periodically. This is, in example, evident in
world wars - they appear periodic from a reference frame treating days, months and years equally.
From one perspective, wars create discontinuities in time randomly, from the other, certain discontinuities in cyclic time manifest as wars in space.
The magnitude of synchronicity, or the magnitude of effect in space will be proportional to number of collapsed scales. Consider world wars - they have big effect in space due to collapse of
at least 3 scales in time.
Suggested and guided evolution
There are no events in reality which are absolutely isolated - not more or less synchronized with other events. Consider synchronization between human species and machines. While entering search
terms (or searching) in a search engine one may be guided by the suggestions of the machine. These suggestions may be based on the search history of the individual or global search history of the
whole population.
That is an example of chained synchronization (on highest level, person - local machine - remote machine) and guidance through synchronization.
In an anthropocentric view on a universe, synchronizations of this kind are a pinnacle of evolution and any other synchronization which would indicate higher intelligence at work or decrease
human significance must be absolutely random. Therefore, one anthropocentric mind will never accept genetic synchronicity as a real phenomenon, before it is forced to abandon the anthropocentric
view.
However, synchronicity is a real phenomenon, and as such can affect/guide local
development. When I ask myself questions about the universes, I am often guided in my searches for answers through synchronicity. Signs of synchronicity can be interpreted as suggestions based
on the search history of the individual soul or global search history of the whole population, but not in the past, rather in the effective local future.
As I have stated elsewhere, effective future of an individual/species is not the actual future of that individual/species. In progressive evolution, it is the past of the more evolved
individual/species one is entangled with. The future that is actually yet to manifest locally is not absolutely equal to effective future although the probability of strong variation is generally
extremely low in case of strong entanglement - in effect, local evolution is strongly coded or deterministic.
Suggestive events of synchronicity that result in local guidance are thus echoes of distant (remote) reactions in time, absorbed and interpreted as action by local reality.
Local excitation (carrying consciousness) coupled to a local body of mass can be interpreted as a soul. Development of a body from conception to adulthood can then be interpreted as an attempt of
synchronization [of evolution] of the body and the soul. Excitation (soul) is obviously changing scale between the couplings. At smaller scale it evolves faster, so the coupling slows down its
evolution (development), accelerating the evolution (development) of the body. Such couplings do not exist only on the level of individuals, they exist on the level of evolutionary correlated
individuals as well (e.g., species, cells of self-organized entities - such as organs, etc.).
One could argue that the soul and the body are one and the same, only the interpretation is scale-dependent. On one scale the entity is interpreted as the mind, on other as the body. However, two
interpretations obviously exist simultaneously - at least from our perspective.
Transformation of consciousness is probably highly correlated with the excitation of the soul (consciousness) to a higher energy level, which then should be synchronized with further development of
the body - even if mostly on epigenetic basis (possibly including some ageing reversal as well).
Indeed, I myself have experienced strong physiological changes, and I believe my life has been prolonged, with such excitation. This elevated level of consciousness has enabled and initiated
the construction of CR and
follow-up works such as the
analysis of
the Solar System in CR context. The excitation occurred with overwhelming synchronicity, however, synchronicity eventually stabilized at some lower value - but remained
regular, which I correlate with the settling of the soul on the new level.
I consider this excitation to a higher energy level as progressive evolution of the mind-body coupling. One now must ask whether such excitation - that is known to occur in some individuals, is a
precursor of the global transformation of species. However, I find the global progressive evolution of minds very questionable. Instead, these might be signals of divergence of humans into different
species. In any case, this is such a large difference that even now different[ly excited]
humans should probably
be classified into different subspecies.
UPDATE: It seems
global synchronicity is progressing, as
predicted. Recently,
in South African national
lottery, the winning sequence of numbers was: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Now, the probability of drawing this combination of numbers is the same as for any other combination of numbers, but the probability that drawn combination will be a sequence of numbers
ordered by value we give to each number (where each n
th number is equal to n+4) is extremely low.
For that reason, there is speculation of fraud. But if one wants to cheat, I assume one would fix a
non-suspicious combination of numbers, paradoxically then, this
suspicious combination
suggests a lower chance of cheating than usual. Thus, I believe there was no cheating, but it's not an absolute coincidence either.
Note that, by my definition of synchronicity, each win on lottery is an event of synchronicity, but this particular one is much stronger in intensity (20 people won) and magnitude. Additionally, one
could argue that the specific draw is, due to high correlation between numbers, an event of synchronicity itself.
Now, while this synchronicity may have a deeper meaning for those affected (it certainly should have a big effect on their lives and of those about them), does it have any meaning for the
global population? Well, this may be a sign (or a precursor) indicating that intensity will be further increasing (as predicted). Does that imply the number of lottery winners will be increasing
too? I wouldn't rule it out, at least in some places.
Small updates, added chapter Interpretation.
Information encoding and consequences of ignorance
Up to this point in human evolution, signals of synchronicity were generally either misinterpreted (inadvertently or not - depending on interests), or dismissed as real events. This
is - mainly, both, a consequence of, and a reason for, its ignorance in mainstream science. The ignorance could have serious effects, both for science and individuals.
If signals of synchronicity carry information, the relevant information is not necessarily encoded in the synchronization itself, rather in its frequency, intensity and magnitude, or
changes (modulation) thereof (just like it is generally the case for propagating information). High intensity/frequency of synchronicity events, per the experience of some individuals (mine
included), can certainly carry a message. For example, if one doesn't usually experience synchronicity and then becomes suddenly flooded by it, something deeper probably is going
on (e.g. transformation of consciousness). To ignore it, or not to ignore it, may be a personal choice, but one probably won't be able to ignore the consequences - a person may choose to ignore
the gravity near a black hole, but that does not imply the gravity will ignore the person. In fact, ignorance usually leads to uncomfortable outcomes. If synchronicity is highly correlated with
subconsciousness, is it wise to ignore subconsciousness? In the long-term, it could lead to the loss of subconscious (settling of consciousness on a lower energy level), further exacerbating
the difference between the more excited ones and less excited ones. But again, divergence is natural, and may be for the best.
Conclusion
It is not hard to understand synchronicity, certainly not in the context of CR. However, it is also not hard to understand that those not experiencing synchronicity will have a hard time
accepting it as real. The trouble is, it seems that one has to have an open mind to understand synchronicity and accept is real, but at the same time, the experience of synchronicity may be limited
to open minds. This synchronization or coupling of mind opening and the experience of synchronicity may be limited to individuals diverging into separate species from established humanity. If we
are indeed diverging, science should and probably will diverge as well. Thus, even though the aim of this paper was to shed some light on synchronicity regardless of the state of mind, it may be
useless to seek acceptance of the phenomenon of synchronicity (and anything else that significantly deviates from established dogma) in mainstream science. In fact, it could become harder and
harder. I, myself, am tired of force, and long for understanding, but this is only a problem until one understands that the majority may simply be wired differently - unable to understand the
highly excited minds and their experiences. Understanding of synchronicity is then coupled with understanding of open or differently excited minds in general. In other words, the
sense of synchronicity can be interpreted as a 6th sense some of us are developing, but some of us may be losing the capability to even contemplate it.
