Hello there, welcome to the Gold-Bug channel. Today we are going to talk about something really exciting
Have you ever experienced, surely you have… coming across a number in the street and you were thinking about that precise number?
you turn around a paper you come across on the floor and you were just thinking let’s say, about number fifteen
and you pick up the paper and it says “fifteen”
Have you ever experienced thinking about a friend with whom you have not been in touch for a long time
A friend from your childhood you turn around the corner and you come across him or her at that precise moment?
Do you frequently experience with your partner, with a friend, with a close one,
that you happen to be thinking about this person and at that precise moment,
you pick up the phone, you are about to dial his/her number and
and the person is on the phone because he/she has dialed your number right before you?
Also, have you ever experienced watching TV
and you think of a number, or of a word and at the same time the actor in the movie
says that same number or word?
Well, in our everyday language, we usually call these experiences “coincidences”
But, are they really “coincidences”, or do they have another hidden meaning?
And because of not knowing how to interpret this hidden meaning or precisely for setting it aside
and considering it a coincidence
we are missing important information
that the universe or our deeper inner self, what Jung calls the “Self”,
the ancient Hindus called the “Atman” or the “Spirit”,
is sending a message to yourself considering very much
in which process, in which stage, and what you are needing
to solve a difficult situation, to have a successful opportunity in your life
So, attention! these messages…that we call “coincidences”,
but we- the ones who are talking here- do not consider them “coincidences”
but they are Synchronicities instead.
In order to explain these coincidences as synchronicities
we are using precisely the term that the great Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung gave to all these situations.
There is a famous event that Jung told
in the therapy that he was doing with a patient to exemplify “coincidences”
which are actually synchronicities
This patient was stagnant in her treatment
she wanted to solve certain psychological conflicts, to find a deeper meaning
which caused a drastic change
to her life, something that happens to us in different periods of our life
In those times in which we are in need of a deep, radical change
to our approach, regarding thoughts, feelings and actions
and we do not find the way to implement this change
We sometimes feel stuck in our work
that we are going nowhere in our carrier
or that we are not growing up in our relationships
we are not in the relationship we need
we are not finding the most suitable partner for us
we feel lonely, isolated from others
At those times we are looking for some help, a deeper meaning of existence
Well, Jung says that this patient was precisely at that stage of her life
looking for a radical change to her existence
Jung usually worked with dreams. Dreams are messages from our inner being.
They are much more than the waste of what we repress during the day or what we don’t want to see.
Often, dreams are great teachers that point out unknown sides of us
and also opportunities that we will face, that life will bring to us for inner growth.
In this sense, when this patient sees Jung, she starts to tell him a dream
part of Jung’s treatment was that his patient, or his disciples, came and told Jung their dreams
it was something very usual for him, Jung was a great scholar of the world of dreams, he had studied in depth the ancient myths
symbolism, so for him, when the person started to tell his dreams
it was like listening to the open book of humanity
what Jung called the collective unconscious and also part of the personal unconscious
part of the person’s most inner experiences that were not wholly conscious for that person
In this case the Jung’s patient told him of a dream about a GOLDEN bug
precisely our channel’s name is “The Gold- Bug"
This was an Egyptian bug, a kind of bug that was not present in the city where the treatment was taking place
that was Switzerland-the country- In Kuznacht or Burghölzli there weren’t these bugs
It happened that when the patient was telling her dream to Jung there is a spectacular loud sound, like from a stone
at the window of his office Jung got nearer the window to see what had caused the noise
and there was entering through the window an EGYPTIAN BUG!
A kind of golden bug
This was a real shock for the patient because at the time she was telling her dream, this kind of bug appears
which was very rare in that area, at the same precise moment
What happened to that patient?
All her doubts, in connection with her work with Jung in the therapy, with the advice or guide that he was giving to her
about the changes that she could make to be fulfilled were clear to her, you know when you come up with a brilliant idea?
or when you finally get it ? She suddenly “knew”
and she said: “ that’s it, I have to make this change” I have to break this vicious cycle in which I am stuck
at the emotional, mental and action level
It was a great revelation for her, but why was this a revelation? Because she did not take it as a coincidence, instead she considered it a nature’s signal,
This was what Jung called “synchronicity”
If one had not this experience and is very skeptical in connection with these matters, he or she will put this experience aside and say “what a coincidence”
And in this way one continues accumulating coincidences in life and misses extraordinary opportunities of taking advantage of these coincidences
But how does this process work? How is it that in the external world there is something that matches with something from our inner world, and in simultaneity?
There are very interesting studies in the field of Quantum Physics
Now we are going to mention one of the most exciting experiments of Quantum Physics
which is the one involving the twin-electron
The experiment is the following: an atom having a specific composition is taken
then another twin-atom is taken, that is an atom with the same characteristics
I mean, it is not the same atom, it is another atom
Right? and they are located in two different laboratories, very far from each other
This experiment was actually carried out, and this is really very interesting...
The thing is that the composition of the atom is changed by means of  bombarding the atom
You know how the nuclear fission is produced, which is
an atom is bombard with a particle collider and that causes a reaction
on the electrons which causes a detachment
at the same time this electron is affected by doing this experiment at the laboratory
the other atom with the same atomic structure, simultaneously changes
exactly the same change is produced in the other atom
well, this was a revolution for Quantum Physics because it proves that
these two atoms were interconnected and they synchronize
a change in one place completely affects a change in another place
This is very interesting in the field of Astrology Astrology is fundamentally based on synchronicity
This ancient science about which we already made some videos teaches us that
there is a planetary influence that is transiting up in the sky
has a synchronous correspondence with us in our inner world
it is as though we tune the same dial of the frequency of the radio
there is a synchronization
well, in this case we could see that the atoms were synchronized and the movement of one of them, affects the other one
One astrological example of this are the twins
There were a lot of studies and verifications that we will be telling later in other videos
about two twins who are born the same day, in the same place and at the same time
with a difference of only some minutes because one of them is delivered first, and then the other, but it is only a few minutes
then they separate from each other and they move to different places
in the adult life, and they both get married the same day with a woman whose name is the same
they have two children, a boy and a girl, who are born the same days
The names of their children are exactly the same
And these twins were not in touch with each other for more than fifteen years
cases like this , astrological cases, astrological twins and many other cases are described in Astrology
Let's see other examples of synchronicity
For the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche synchronicities  were meaningful coincidences
this name is really beautiful because something random is a coincidence, but meaningful
So these coincidences have a meaning for us
It would be interesting for us to investigate what the meaning is
what the message and the help that the universe are sending to me are
many times , this is very evident, other times the meaning is more hidden and we have to investigate
and to study in more detail to discover what the message of these synchronicities is
To get this meaning we can study myths, Transpersonal Psychology
by means of which, we will begin to understand this symbolic language of the universe and of our inner being
because there is an echo and a synchronization between our inner being and the universe
Nowadays this is studied, where the laws of the sub- atomic world, in Quantum Physics
and the laws of nature match
mind and matter are synchronized
Not to mention the psycho-physical processes
which we are going to develop further when we deal with the extraordinary developments of neurosciences
But let us continue with our topic now, in the same way F. Nietzsche called these experiences "meaningful coincidences"
Jung called them "Synchronicity", the ancient Romans, the Latin people and the Greeks also talked about this
and there was one  person, who was an astrologer, a magician called the augur who was constantly seeing signals
to be able to determine...signals from the sky, or astrological signals
or in the bird's flight he also interpreted a synchronicity
so as to know what course of action should be taken next by his social group,
his society, and this was very usual in Greece and Rome
Nowadays in the Tibetan Buddhism which is led by the Dalai Lama
they use an oracle , an augur, who predicts the signals of what they have to do next in their society
at the level of the transmission of their spiritual message, of their Buddhist message, of their psychology and philosophy
there is an augur, an oracle, who by synchronicity expresses to them the people's deepest need
that is, the mind of one particular person synchronizes with the minds of all the people
and in this way it is established the next course of action to be taken
so this thing about synchronicities and augurs throughout history are something much common than we think
and there is a whole science of synchronicity, so let us see why synchronicity can be important for you
We said before that often we are part of vicious cycles, emotional vicious cycles  where we cannot get out of obsessive emotional patterns
we cannot get out of a fearful or restlessness pattern, and we receive help from the external world
that external help is a synchronicity, because you were needing it
and life presents an opportunity, how many times you were about to throw in the towel,
like on the boxer ring, like the boxer that is about to give up  but if instead of throwing in the towel at that moment you wait a little more
and you make the FINAL effort, you receive help at that precise moment
It is as if life or you universe knew that you are doing that final effort
and you say: this is not possible! what a coincidence!
right when I am faithful to my dreams and ideals to the last consequences
at that very last moment, you receive help, now if you give up before, synchronicity does not come across
so you also have to keep that in mind
One of the most important ideas for synchronicity to help you is that you resist until the end
that you do not surrender or give up your ideals
that you are not unfaithful to yourself
So one of the most important points for synchronicity to be effective in our lives
so that it appears when you most need it, is that you remain faithful to your own most noble desires
the most noble desires are the desires to be a better person, to help other people
the desire to perform your chosen daily activities as perfect and full as possible
without causing harm to yourself or to other people, being really helpful to everybody
at those moments the synchronicity appears and helps you
you are needing a financial improvement and you are making big sacrifices and efforts
Do not give up because synchronicity will appear, help will come to you
the unverse and you inner being are paying attention to you
they know that you are doing your best, so the important thing is not be unfaithful to oneself
We are going to present more videos to exemplify more synchronicity cases
but today we only wanted to introduce this idea, so pay attention
because may be after watching this video, there is a synchronicity for you, and do not say "what a coincidence " anymore
think that there is a deeper meaning and that you have to learn how to get to that meaning
and to discover that meaning you have to know deeper the nature of your own mind
and the laws ruling that mysterious world which is the invisible world, the psychological and spiritual world present in each of us and in any other being surrounding you
So, see you next time and watch our other videos here at the Gold-Bug channel, bye!
