Synchronicity, Grace and Inner Growth

The 16th Rule of Love
And further Ramblings 
Below 



How Did Jung Understand Synchronicity?

Essentially, what Jung meant by 'synchronicity' was:
"..the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningfully, but not causally, connected events.."

His concept of synchronicity describes meaningful coincidences where inner psychological states align with external events, lacking a causal link but suggesting a deeper, acausal connection in the universe, often seen as signs or insights from the unconscious mind, a principle he explored with physicist Wolfgang Pauli. It's a "meaningful coincidence" where the universe reflects our inner world, offering guidance, affirmation, or warnings, like an inner thought suddenly matching a billboard message, highlighting the interconnectedness of psyche and matter.


The 16th Rule of Love 
By Shams of Tabriz 

Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.

IMHO

Filth maybe be hidden with the Most Glorious of  costumes, but it can only be assuaged by the opening of the heart. And this is accomplished by The Gifts, both of Honestly and Steadfast Humility & The Introduction of, at the very least, an inkling of Grace.

Honesty and 
Humility and an Unremitting Desire 

 Vital principle behind my Growth are honesty and humility. I needed to dive deep into myself to examine My role in various situations and essentially “clean house.” Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to work this step because it’s meant to be rigorous. 

This journey can be daunting, but it’s only as scary as we make it. We’ve all done things in addiction we’re not proud of, but holding onto these things prevents us from truly healing.

Seeing Myself, as I am, is, for me, the Beginning

  ”But what does this mean? Essentially, for me, it involved looking inward rather than outward for the changes I  need in My life. This Step helped me to Examine, Own, and begin to unpack the baggage i've been carrying, and the Grace to bring it to the Sunlight so as to Acknowledged, Accepted & Own as this then allows honest transformation to Grow, Accept Responsibility, and take Action to change what needs changing.

All with the Help of the Universal Power, which is Always Available, Freely Given. And desirous of My Return
