About Sync of the Day



Synchronicity (German: Synchronizität) is a concept, first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related. During his career, Jung furnished several different definitions of it. Jung defined synchronicity as an "acausal connecting (togetherness) principle," "meaningful coincidence", and "acausal parallelism." He introduced the concept as early as the 1920s but gave a full statement of it only in 1951 in an Eranos lecture. - Wikipedia


 When I recognize the the connection between these casual coincidences occurring within 24 hours of each other, I call them the Sync of the Day. 

 Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see – Carl Jung

He responded "one of your best lessons was The Art of Taking a Break." Today  I asked Haelan what he meant, recognized a sync on today's page in my "The Idea Book" diary, and the sync with the book I'm reading "Not Doing". Haelan explained "Your lesson on the Art of Taking a Break in the Green Apprenticeship Permaculture course was an excellent experience [it includes a guided meditation, text study, conversation about family and culture, personal sharing and poetry]. All of the Green Apprenticeship Permaculture course was intense with lots of doing, building and technology. You then brought up the importance of taking a break, the concept of a Shabbat, a whole day of rest, of not doing. I hadn't considered it before. I appreciate tod...
