Table of contents
Last part of the series dedicated to synchronicity! It follows articles on the history of synchronicities and the role of the unconscious in the appearance of these phenomena. Having also decrypted a few personal examples highlighting the communication and quantum resonance at work when synchronicities occur, I broaden the frame of reference to the universe here. And I am particularly interested in the entanglement and feedback present at all scales, which are prerequisites for the manifestation of this communication and this quantum resonance.
Quantum entanglement and synchronicities
Links to standard physics
The standard model in classical physics considers the universe as composed of isolated systems. Although physicists recognize that isolated systems do not exist, they do not take this reality into account in their work. They ignore the connection between systems when they study the universe. Moreover, they are only interested in reproducible events. For all these reasons, they perpetuate a model that is not only incorrect but particularly unsuitable for the study of synchronicities.
In the infinitely small, on the other hand, the observation of entanglement phenomena reveals a well-connected universe. Is this why some quantum physicists have also become interested into synchronicities? This was the case, indeed, of one of the founding fathers of quantum physics and Nobel Prize winner in 1945, Wolfgang Pauli. He also worked directly with Jung.
In 1949, Pauli wrote:
“I believe that synchronistic coincidences are destroyed when all uncontrollable and unconscious factors are eliminated in order to obtain reproducible experimental conditions.”
WOLFGANG PAULI [1]
Thus he illustrated the fact that synchronicity leads us into another way of thinking, where the unconscious has a place of choice. In 1952, after a long correspondence with Pauli and many revisions of the concept of synchronicity, Jung published Synchronicity, the principle of acausal relations [2].
Links to the connected universe theory
It is the entanglement of the parameters shaping the synchronicities that makes it possible to establish an analogy between what quantum physics gives to observe and this type of events. Whether it is the significant coincidence between the psyches of two or more individuals, which is explained by the entanglement of the psyches of these people. Or the significant coincidence between a mental state and a physical state, which can be explained by the intertwining of people’s psyches, the collective unconscious and matter.
When Jung wrote to Pauli: “it is more likely that both (matter and psyche) have in fact the same property, that they are both contingent at a deeper level and impinge upon each other without regard to their respective causal determination” [3], he was referring to the unity of reality, the “Unus Mundus”, i.e. the single field of information. From the point of view of standard physics, this field combines the quantum field – in which the information is embedded – and the material interaction fields. There are three of them since gravity is not explained at the infinitely small level in current quantum theory.
From the point of view of the connected universe, it is quite different. Indeed, Nassim Haramein‘s theory responds to the entanglement conditions necessary for the emergence of synchronicities from the quantum to the cosmological scale since everything is connected at all levels. Thus, at all scales there is a single unified field of information at the source of two – and only two – quantified and entangled material fields: the electromagnetic field and the gravitational field [4].
Feedback and synchronicities
Receiving and transmitting information
The interaction of these two fields results on the one hand in the feedback necessary for the information to circulate and reach the level of complexity observable in the universe. And on the other hand, the feedback necessary for consciousness to emerge as self-awareness. Nassim Haramein explains that:
“To be self-aware, you need a feedback. Consciousness is a feedback between the outside and the inside. It is fundamental to all things. Then all things are conscious. All things send information into the vacuum and the vacuum sends information back. Your ability to power the system is directly related to your resistance capacity, i.e. the amount of information that can enter you.”
I have literally experienced that statement. I experienced it concretely when the aneurysm, having reached the end of its resistance capacity, ruptured (read My Story). Note that if the word “resistance” suggests a notion of rigidity, it is rather flexibility that conditions our capacity for resistance. The less flexible the tissue, the less able it is to withstand the blood pressure. And in my case, this physiological observation found an echo at the level of my consciousness: it simultaneously escaped from the rigidity of the mental. This is one of the things that my experience has taught me. And the awareness that later allowed me to be able to receive more information, and thus transmit more, through this blog.
What is the timeframe for feedback?
While feedback underpins the process of creating the universe, the timeframe for feedback is more or less rapid. From this point of view, perhaps the particularity of synchronicities lies into the fact that when they occur, the feedback is immediate, or at least takes place within a very short period of time.
On the other hand, the reciprocal is not necessarily true: if I put my hand on a very hot plate, I will burn myself immediately, and in general it will not be synchronic. Although this could be the case if, for example, I woke up one morning after dreaming that I was burning myself, I would walk into the kitchen and tell my dream to the person there. Still numb from sleep, I would put my hand on a hotplate, unaware that this person had just heated it up. Feedback information would be instantaneous.
And even more, perhaps this instantaneity would, in this specific case and in the case of synchronicities in general, explain the spontaneous appearance of sense in the observer. French philosopher Michel Cazenave speaks of a double movement specific to synchronistic events which, in my opinion, can be part of this reflection:
“It is a chain that forms between the subject who observes and the sense that imposes itself on that subject, and which makes that subject a participant in the event who, in a double movement, receives and gives sense to the scene he perceives.”
Self-organizing systems
Sometimes the feedback translates for the subject into ordinary events, seemingly only subject to determinism. Sometimes it is intuition, coincidence or synchronicity. These two physical manifestations – deterministic or synchronistic – call for a different level of understanding of the process by which they are created. Thus, synchronicity, unlike determinism, cannot leave any doubt as to the source of the information. That is to say, there is no doubt that there is a wider field of consciousness than the one we believe we are interacting with. In fact, synchronicity is clearly the proof, according to Nassim Haramein, that the feedback necessary for the advancement of consciousness leads to the self-organization of systems in the universe.
Resonance and synchronicities
If everything is manifested according to the feedback of information that operates between vacuum and matter, it is always a co-determination between the information we send into vacuum and our interpretation of what vacuum returns to us. This co-determination manifests itself in the form of encounters, circumstances or events. Our interpretation depends on the state of consciousness from which we interact with vacuum. And the feedback from the vacuum depends on the interaction that occurs between the information sent and the information from all other points of view. The resonance between the information sent and the information received may thus reflect a greater or lesser degree of correspondence. It would seem that in the case of synchronicities, the resonance is immediate, and the degree of matching is maximal. Then the inside and the outside express the same thing.
For Nassim Haramein, everything outside of us is lagging behind our experience. Only our center is on time. Everything happens as if synchronicity brings us back to resonance with our exact time, that is to say with the point of immobility.
We’ve come to the end of this series. If you’d like to continue your exploration of the theme of chance, which I haven’t dealt with here strictly speaking, you can read the series on the butterfly effect.
Key points
- The standard model in physics is particularly unsuitable for the study of synchronicities.
- The unified field theory responds to the conditions of entanglement, feedback and resonance necessary for the emergence of synchronicities at all scales.
- Instantaneous feedback of information could explain the spontaneous appearance of meaning in the observer when he experiences synchronicity.
