The First Insight

The First Insight:  A new spiritual awakening is occurring in human culture, an awakening brought about by a critical mass of individuals who experience their lives as a spiritual unfolding, a journey in which we are led forward by mysterious coincidences.

The first sign that we are awakening to this deep inner call is a profound sense of restlessness.  This restlessness may be described as dissatisfaction (even after reaching goals), vague uneasiness, or a sense that something is missing. 

Becoming conscious of the reality of coincidences & aware of their message & meaning is the first step to evolving consciously & more quickly. 

With the awareness of coincidence, we are attuning ourselves to the mystery of the underlying principle of order of the universe. 

Carl Jung gave serious study to the idea of "meaningful coincidences," & he called this phenomenon synchronicity.  He believed that it is as natural a connecting principle as cause & effect. 

The beauty of synchronicity is that it is a gift of the universal flow of energy.  We don't need a rational explanation in order to be moved by it.  However, once we have felt the connection, we might want to play with it a little further to see what it is trying to promote. 

*Be aware that your life has a purpose, & events happen for a reason.
*Begin the process of finding meaning behind each life event.
*Acknowledge restless energy as a sign of needed change & deeper awareness.  Listen to your body.
*Realize that what you pay attention to will expand.
*Notice when you feel a signal to talk with someone who might be able to help with your current questions.  Where does your attention go?  What did you notice today?
*Trust your process.  Live by letting yourself be guided, not by a forced set of goals.  Know that you are fulfilling your life's destiny.
*Start a personal journal for recording synchronistic events.  Writing a journal is a good way to clarify your thoughts.

Exercise 1.  Increasing Sensitivity to Coincidences

     ~The purpose of this exercise is to acknowledge past coincidences & become more aware of their effect on our lives.  As we bring attention to what has happened in the past, we are also stimulating an intention for higher consciousness to produce more coincidences.

Answer these questions:

Question 1. Home ~ Were there any particular coincidences or signs connected with getting your current living space (significant house numbers, encounters with neighbors, delays in negotiations, mixed-up phone calls, special street names, or any other odd details?

Question 2. Work ~ How did you get your present job?  Think back to how you found out about it, to whom you talked, & what message you might have received.

Question 3. Work ~ What were your first impressions of the workplace?  

Question 4:  Work ~ Did you notice any signs that might have portended something that later occurred?  

Question 5. Work ~ Was there something you wish you had listened to before taking this job?  

Question 6.  Relationship ~ Describe how you met your most important relationship.  What led up to your being in that place at that time?  

Question 7.  Relationship ~ Did the person you meet remind you of anyone else?  

Question 8.  Relationship ~ What was your first impression of this person?  Has that impression been a true one? 

Question 9.  Relationship ~ Did you notice any signs (a dream after meeting this person, an odd coincidence, a delay, a mix up)?
