I don’t know if any of you saw the movie “The Number 23” starring Jim Carrey? (I don’t imagine many Jim Carrey fans out there) but that is what the “synchronicity” idea would lead to for me if I were to put any “faith” into it. I have had weird stuff happen to me, so there might be something to it, but synchronicity is not for the fragile, those not with a firm grasp and solid foundation, not for those with an active imagination….in other words, not that great of a concept for humans in general to be messing with.
What is the “use” of this “information” exactly? It seems natural to me that any person who accepts that synchronicity is real is going to look for more! And if you seek , you shall find more. Talk about a runaway train! And what does synchronicity say really? “That there is a “connection” but the details and meaning are left up to the receiver to figure out. Instructions are not transmitted with the mysterious messages. The receiver “makes something” out of these events. This seems to have more danger to it than value. To allow the interpretation of the “event” as well as “if that was an event at all” seems to me to be the ultimate recipe for disaster. But that is just the way I see it. You may have the wisdom to interpret correctly, to use it and not abuse it, but I don’t see any checks and balances there.
