Week Three - Synchronicity and Connectivity

Week 3

Everything happens for a reason.

A belief that was instilled in me when I was young. Little did i know that this idea went hand in hand with synchronicity. I think it is hard to prove synchronicity because how do you define a meaningful experience? How do you measure what someone feels? My understanding of synchronicity, it is based off of a meaningful experience. In this case, a person has to be aware of the significant of a moment in time.  It requires people to live in the moment, to slow down and take notice of the human interactions that we have with others.

This culture, taking the time to find these moments are not always prioritized. And people are not always given the space to figure out what what the experience means to them - what is it telling them about themselves or what they need to be doing in their lives.

In order to find the evidence for synchronicity, one would have to look at the many instances in people lives that were coincidences. And see if those moments sparked a meaningful moment, a life changing change of events, or a peculiar interaction.

Connectivity
I first think of soul mates. I believe that your spirit is born again and again, each time interacting with many spirits. Then in this life time, you have an instant connection with someone as if you have met them before because you have just in a different life time. I have met many soul mates in this lifetime that I know I have met before. Often times it is like we can read each others minds without talking.

When I was 2 i lost my hearing. And when I regained it, I my speech develop was way behind everyone else. Only my mother could understand what I was saying. Then I was sent to preschool. No child could understand what I was saying, except one person - Sarah. She instantly became my best friend and translated for me. Without her I would have no friends. She was my soul mate.

When I was 18 I traveled with a friend, Tessa, to India to visit her family. Most of her relatives only talked Malayalam including her younger cousin, Thomaskuti. Even though he and I could not speak the same language, we could read each other minds. This little boy and I would talk to each other without knowing what each other would say. I would think something and suddenly he would bring it to me. He was my soul mate.

When I was 19  when I met a woman, Pilar, who became my assistant stage manager. She would remember things I forgot, she would be there every time I was there. We became one - so much so that I didn't realize. I wasn't until after the performance when she wrote me a letter, she said I was her soul mate. And I realized she was. I could see our past lives together and it made my heart glow. To this day I call her my other half.

We are connected, in this life time and from life times ago We just need to take the time and feel the connections. To believe they are there.
