Comments on: Synchronicity Activates an Archetype http://symbolwatcher.com/2009/09/the-meaning-of-synchronistic-events/ The search for meaning in cultural, artistic and dream imagery Mon, 19 Sep 2011 01:50:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: James http://symbolwatcher.com/2009/09/the-meaning-of-synchronistic-events/#comment-264 James Fri, 02 Sep 2011 01:06:52 +0000 http://symbolwatcher.com/?p=477#comment-264 I would rather say the reverse, that its the archetype that activates synchronistic events, although retrospectively it may seem that synchronistic events activate archetypes (e.g., as a stone (wholeness) is the cause of various ripples (synchronicities). I am in the midst of experiencing a number of synchronistic happenings, tied mainly to one archetype (here interpreted in a Platonic sense, rather than Jungian) due to having been meditating/contemplating on it for a number of months. But in addition, I have noticed that this has in turn spawned other synchronistic events that are only indirectly related to the main archetype. However, these subsidiary synchronistic events seem to belong to the same series (in the usage of Proclus) and continue to occur so long as I contemplate on related matters.
