It carries as much meaning as Jesus in a tortilla. It is an artefact of the brain's wiring (an association engine) and nothing more.

It is not indicative of any cosmic awareness, oversoul, nor collective unconscious.




Your opinion is but one, and one that obviously hasn't experienced true synchronicity. This is a Taoist notion psychologized by C.G. Jung, but it can only be known experientially which is to say subjectively. Yet, a separate observer can observe half the event, the objective portion which exists as a physical event. The simultaneous subjective event must be reported to the observer for the observer to get the entire event. Unfortunately, this mode of apprehension does not allow the observer to perceive the sychronicity in its immediacy. Perhaps this is your predicament. The recognition is replete with its own emotional correlate as well as an intuitive correlate to complete the intellectual and sensate aspects. It is a whole experience that must be apprehended in it's subjective-objective simultaneity in order to be 'grokked.' After a sufficient number of these experiences, one's understanding quite rightly attains to a more cosmic perspective.

The brain is a unique part of the greater organization of the universe, not the 'organizer' of the universe any more than it is the creator of the universe. You just see things bass ackwards in these matters. One has to see causality and acausality in a way that parallels Newtonian physics and quantum physics, each operating in its own domain of lawfulness and both co-existing independently of the brain's conceptualization of them. That a squiggly line that I draw on a chalkboard, for adolescents, immediately brings comments that I've drawn a profile is a much simpler process and works with perceptual and associational processes. It is ridiculously simplistic to project these fundamental processes onto a process of metaphysical proportion like acausal connection.
