A. EVOLUTION & ENTROPY



1. Premise: The present Universe is essentially neutral (i.e., without specific intention).

a. Nothing happens in this version of nature that deliberately benefits or detracts from anything else

i. except when consciousness intervenes by ascribing meaning and relevance onto occurrence as cohesion

ii. except when consciousness intervenes by interfering with the natural flow

2. Premise: The nature of the present Universe is mostly entropic – it is disordering or coming out of order or is in an indirect avoidance of patterning

a. Though there is no detractive intent, this entropic condition may be interpreted by consciousness as negatively affecting the ‘forward flow of evolution’ as it has been defined…

i. but the flow of evolution necessarily requires constructive change (insofar as the refinement of structure actually leads to perseverance, i.e., the temporary overcoming of temporality)

ii. thus, in order for there to be or have been general entropy (chaos), there must also be or have been occasional negative entropy (order)

iii. certain laws of the physical universe require the interplay of both entropic phenomena versions, specifically electro-magnetism, the gravities, thermo-dynamics

b. It follows that the devolution/deterioration of order requires that there be some prior ordering, i.e., change requires an initial point of apparent stasis from which it is to occur.

i. change is constant; any order or ordering (routine, patterning, constancy) is temporary.

3. This is the condition in which environment, habitat, life and conscious life on planet Earth have evolved and continue to evolve.

4. There cannot be change (evolution) without there sometime being or having been a temporary steady state.

a. The entropic nature of matter (e.g., oxidation) requires that all steady states decline.

b. Since negative entropy is necessary, all declinations eventually go steady, i.e., reach a temporary neutral point of near-zero momentum, before some other action will take place or take over.

i. this is only apparent; everything is always falling apart.



B. QUANTA



5. It is proposed that within this environment, perhaps at a juncture point where, e.g., decline is matched by order, phenomena can occur:

a. That belie previous assertions of condition insofar as they

i. are acausal, yet contribute to ascension or decline

ii. are related to but not subsumed by consciousness

iii. are somehow conditional to negative entropy

b. While most everything is falling apart, certain conditions manifest which appear to make some things come together.

6. Problem: How can something be part of a conditionless universe as defined and yet manifest conditions apparently outside of its realms without being subsumed by consciousness?

7. Complete negative entropy eventually leads to ultimate density. Finished, unmoving, static; the end of all moments; culminating in a cataclysmic (Big Bang) event -- absolute momentary entropy [AME] -- instantly followed by the occurrence/reoccurrence of its negative

a. Space/Time ceases/stops, and (then) becomes/starts.



C. SYNCHRONICITY



8. The epi-phenomena collectively termed (by C.G.Jung) as ‘Synchronicity’ are metaphors for Ordering in the grammar of this Universe. Insofar as these events are deemed ‘acausal’ (since they can be deduced from but not necessarily replicated or even explained through a re-aligning of elements), they are nevertheless often adjudged to be significant eventuating factors, especially regarding the ordering of subsequent major events that are ‘causal’ in nature.

a. Synchronistic events draw experimental meanders, some of which will lead to ‘positive’ evolutions’.

i. ‘positive’ insofar as they are temporary and successful to varying degrees, as reinterpretations of habitat (reproductive systems responding favorably to environmental conditions as they occur over time).

b. This is, in effect, the dance of space-time: improvised, experimental, determined (but not pre-determined).

i. their steps are ordinarily cautionary or precautionary, but sometimes occur dramatically

9. No synchronistic event is necessary until after it has chanced to occur

a. ‘Favorable success’ is conditional: a limited contingency that allows for or fosters survival for the most part, often accompanied by ancillary negativities of several intensities (e.g., peacock’s tail; sickle cells; upright walk; internal combustion), since all environments are transitional.

b. Survival is an on-going experiment, not a permanent display.

i. ‘fitness’ may often be a factor, though often neither sufficiently defined or necessarily determinant.

ii. flexibility is a built-in sublimation.

iii. all interpretation is subjective.

10. Synchronicity is the experiment and the results of the experiment and the testing of the experiment, but the experiment has no referential hypothesis.

a. Synchronicity is bound to occur as governing the nature of the present Universe, but not in any particular way.

b. As far as we can see, this Universe unfolds:

i. through the interaction of disparities

ii. through the intermingling of opposites

iii. through the cohesion of similarities

iv. in the direction(s) in which it was flung at the moment of its creation

11. Synchronicity is only conditionally rational, insofar as any significant event occurrence cannot be causally posited or technically replicated except in general retrospect.

a. Only if the laws of reason are made flexible (i.e., abridged) is the epiphenomenon enabled to fit within a rational frame, which will, by definition, be constantly fractured and broken over time.

b. In fact, synchronicity, in its stable form, gives birth to notions of rationality, abetting and creating the comprehending mind.

c. Of course, this premise does not apply to wholly physical events. The ‘events’ of science can be causally deduced and replicated, but they are not synchronistic (though can be initially abetted or inspired by synchronistic events)

12. This is not a linear monologue, but a spiraling dialogue: the Universe conversing with and within itself.

a. it is ‘mystical’ or cryptic only for those who require it to be seen as such in order for them to accept it

13. Synchronistic events are synergistic.

a. The information that they subsume is exponentially additive rather than merely cumulative.

b. This further differentiates synchronicity from other forms of creativity.

c. Evolution flows directly from synchronicity and each shares major characteristics.

14. Synchronicity cannot be explained using the scientific method.

a. The mechanism of synchronicity is an uncontrolled and innovative unfolding of events in time that intersect in a way meaningful to the flow of evolution, the ordering of motion, and the lifting of the mind/spirit.

b. The energetic flow of quanta, the electro-magnetic redistribution of elementary particles and the ‘random’ accumulation of non-material ‘objects’ (e.g., rays) are involved in providing the conditions in which synchronicity can occur and are themselves the base and the result of synchronicity.

i. other flows, accumulations and redistributions also likely play a part and are bases and results, but are presently unavailable to our general senses or the technological extensions of our senses

ii. though these may be present and available in scientifically unprovable forms through imagination and non-logical or so-called extra-sensory talents

c. Using present models, we cannot begin to predict the ways in which these actions are precursive to synchronicity or to provide any explanations for it.

15. At macro-levels, the flow of conversation that can be interpreted as synchronicity takes several forms:

a. So-called coincidences, happenstance or serendipity; preternatural occurrences.

b. Telepathy and lesser forms of thought-sharing; energy healing.

c. So-called miracles and other ‘unexplained’ epiphenomena recognized as occurring.

d. ‘Accidental’ discoveries; spontaneous innovations; revelations and epiphanies.

e. Indigenous wisdom, often aided through meditation, ceremonial ritual, psychotropic substances, fasting, dreaming.

16. At macro-levels, even though synchronicity cannot be accurately predicted, is acausal, and is not subject to scientific reduction, it can be depended upon to a limited extent:

a. It might occur as a natural outcome of desire, even when frivolous or inconsequential.

b. It may be ‘called upon’ to resolve problems through the application of expectation

i. the human mind is an ordering mechanism (or at least one of its possibly three brains is capable of encouraging order).

c. Synchronicity relies on the flow of energy, rather than the manipulation of matter, so that ordinary obstacles might present reduced interference and thus the event considered to be ‘out of the ordinary’ or even extraordinary.

d. It may operate regardless of the conscious intent or known wishes of those on whom it affects or of those who think they have some control over its ordering or arrangements.



D. ‘EVERYDAY’ SYNCHRONICITY



17. At macro-levels, in this case the level of ordinary existence, the ways in which Synchronicity plays along in human life are manifold.

a. Initially, there would likely be no ‘human life’ on planet Earth if the environment had not been made ‘proper’ over time to allow and support carbon-based, oxygen-breathing creatures.

i. the environment had to evolve in all its states – gaseous, geo-physical, stratospherical – from its origins in order to foster and protect advanced life forms, and had to maintain certain parameters over consequential time in order for these forms to persevere, develop and expand.

ii. I cannot in this presentation allege or confer that these proper conditions to the benefit of conscious, reproductive life are attributable to the synchronicity phenomena, rather than to any other formidable, unexplainable set of causes, but do maintain it to be an acceptable rubric, if not a primary governing factor.

b. The rise and culmination of the rational endeavor and argument, and its success in the fields of science, mathematics and engineering have captured the imagination of the people of the planet, and now hold it hostage.

i. lack of methodological verifiability automatically excludes argument, proposal, theory and explanation from serious considerations, even when accompanied by testimony, longevity and apparent success (except in the case of religious belief systems)

ii. certain experiments designed to prove simple examples of synchronicity have been performed, showing mixed but conclusive results, but in the long run also serve to support credibility in the rational deductive methodology, outside of which is the realm of major forms of Synchronicity

iii. there are at present no apparent proofs

iv. one is forced to entertain a similar approach as exemplified by belief systems in general

18. Nevertheless, there are many verified narrative accounts of personal experiences that support Synchronicity as a potent notion, which make belief in its totality as relevant, auspicious and reasonable as any other belief system available today.

a. Especially considering the support of its basic premises through developments in quantum physics in the last hundred years.

b. In fact, the universal experience of events attributed to Synchronicity – being the significant intersection of disparate elements, which reason alone cannot justify – actually does support its major claim, i.e., that it necessarily operates outside the aegis of rationality and current science, while being concurrently supported by developments in astral and quantum physics (themselves often falling outside those boundaries as well, if only for the moment).

i. most developments in knowledge and awareness are first denied and denigrated by vested interests and the entrenched academy when contrary to current orthodoxy

ii. there is, of course, no ‘reason’ to suggest or insist that Synchronicity theory falls within this category, other than the fact of the status that it now holds



E. APOLOGIA



19. Not wanting to end weakly ;-):

a. I am not a quantum physicist, I am a wordsmith. Quantum physics gives me some of the language that I need to give structure to the unstructured.

b. The concept of ‘acausality’ is crucial because it is counter-intuitive, but conditionally.

c. Any universe of total chaos automatically leads to something happening.

1. from no-thing to something is bound to occur

2. something takes form

i. in doing so space/time is needed to contain it

20. Something and space/time are concurrent

a. They enter into being simultaneously.

b. Structureless energy when becoming structured matter (matrixed) creates place and motion.

21. There is no form in chaos.

a. Chaos could be defined as ‘in search of form’

i. form as the negative of no-form

ii. formlessness comes before form and leads into it through structuring

22. This cosmology encounters to a certain extent the Great Mystery, but leaves the Great Mysteries still intact.

a. It does not question (or answer) any belief system, nor does it establish or require one, seeking instead to enhance or expand awareness, to quest and locate contradiction, to appreciate and allow for wonder.
