The Realm of Synthronicity (1)

I look to find the language to say what I see, what comes most strongly and most clearly when those on this part of the globe are sound asleep and beta waves relaxed. In this dark community, with no lights in these wee hours but the moon and stars, and the light of the lamp and my own awareness, I go deeply into the writings of this planet's sages and listen in the chambers of my heart.

They tell me, these Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish and Aperspectival seers, of the realm of synthronicity (my term, not theirs), more real, more lasting, than the realm of human societal creation based on the imaginary and the ratio-nal. What I look to do is point to the differences between the two realms, the imagino-rational and the synthronous, with especial emphasis upon the synthronous. The imagino-rational is the world we live in each day, the one that we as mages and ratio-nists have collectively made so real. It needs little further emphasis or discussion. (Jean Gebser* calls it "the three-dimensional, perspectival world.")

I write for my own elucidation. I find that when I say what I see, I am "allowed" to move on to further seeing.

* A relevant Gebser quote: "...it will surely become obvious that there can, indeed there must be, a freedom from space-time in a new integral structure of consciousness." (The Ever-Present Origin, 189)
