synchronicity happens when you relax and let go.

resistance is an inner contraction, a hardening of the shell of the ego. you are closed.

whatever action you take in a state of inner resistance (negativity) will create more outer resistance, and the universe will not be on your side; life will not be helpful.

when you yield internally, when you surrender, a new dimension of consciousness opens up.
circumstances and people become helpful and cooperative.

coincidences appear.

synchronicity happens…

“What is the Universe? We have seen that there can be nothing outside of THE ALL. Then is the Universe THE ALL? No, this cannot be, because the Universe seems to be made up of MANY, and is constantly changing, and in other ways it does not measure up to the ideas that we are compelled to accept regarding THE ALL, as stated in our last lesson. Then if the Universe be not THE ALL, then it must be Nothing – such is the inevitable conclusion of the mind at first thought. But this will not satisfy the question, for we are sensible of the existence of the Universe. Then if the Universe is neither THE ALL, nor Nothing, what can it be? Let us examine this question. If the Universe exists at all, or seems to exist, it must proceed in some way from THE ALL – it must be a creation of THE ALL. But as something can never come from nothing, from what could THE ALL have created it. Some philosophers have answered this question by saying that THE ALL created the Universe from ITSELF – that is, from the being and substance of THE ALL. But this will not do, for THE ALL cannot be subtracted from, nor divided, as we have seen, and then again if this be so, would not each particle in the Universe be aware of its being THE ALL – THE ALL could not lose its knowledge of itself, nor actually BECOME an atom, or blind force, or lowly living thing … But, what indeed is the Universe, if it be not THE ALL, not yet created by THE ALL having seperated itself into fragments? What else can it be – of what else can it be made? … We find here that the ‘Principle of Correspondence’ comes to our aid here. The old Hermetic axiom, ‘As above so below’, may be pressed into service at this point. Let us endeavor to get a glimpse of the workings on higher planes by examining those on our own. The Principle of Correspondence must apply to this as well as to other problems. Let us see! On his own plane of being, how does Man create? Well, first, he may create by making something out of outside materials. But this will not do, for there are no materials outside of THE ALL with which it may create. Well, then, secondly, Man pro-creates or reproduces his kind by the process of begetting, which is self-multiplication accomplished by transferring a portion of his substance to his offspring. But this will not do, because THE ALL cannot transfer or subtract a portion of itself, nor can it reproduce or multiply itself – in the first place there would be a taking away, and in the second case a multiplication or additon to THE ALL, both thoughts being an absurdity. Is there no third way in which Man creats? Yes, there is – he CREATES MENTALLY! And in so doing he uses no outside materials, nor does he reproduce himself, and yet his Spirit prevades the Mental Creation … THE UNIVERSE, AND ALL IT CONTAINS, IS A MENTAL CREATION OF THE ALL. Verily indeed, ALL IS MIND!”

“One useful magical model will be outlined next. It is the shamanic theory which views the ecosystem as a single, living entity composed of myriads of different life forms, all of which depend on each other. Over the last decades, biology began to discover that living beings cannot be seen outside of the context in which they exist, and that in each and every ecological system all participants are connected with each other. In this sense we may consider a biosphere as a single living entity and the hypothesis that the biosphere of this planet is also a single, living entity, is but an extension of this idea.”

“If the world is a living being we are as much part of it as are the beasts, the plants, the fungi, trees and stones. Whichever life form we encounter can be seen as an extension of ourselves (and vice versa), aspects of a vast, multi-personal self that includes all participants in a single Gestalt. This makes all living beings close relations, and considering the DNA coding, this claim is not religion but biology. Thus, the interaction of one life form with another can be understood as communication of self with self.”

“To the shaman the natural world (outside) and the mental world (inside) are closely connected. They are organized in similar ways, they include the same items, and they can influence each other … When the outside world is considered a reflection of the deep mind, life will be full of messages and secret meanings.”

Some quotes from ‘Visual Magick – A Manual of Freestyle Shamanism; A Practical Guide to Trance, Sigils, and Visualization Techniques‘ by Jan Fries

“Some magicians seem to mistake the ‘opening’ phase with the act of transmission. Crisis, exhaustion, intense sexuality etc., all tend to release energy; this energy, they believe, should be charged into the sigil to make it dynamic and strong. It is a common notion, and a mistaken one (…)”

”The active agency of sigil magick is the subconscious self. We need not ‘charge’ a sigil with our power – the power we can raise consciously is nothing compared to the power that moves under the surface of our conscious mind. The sigil need not be energized – given proper transmission, it will find its way into the deep currents of true will and dynamic instinct, and imbue these with its message. Such a sigil will become irresistible.”

“Now we want to transmit our sigil shape into the deeper realms of the mind, realms that function with different laws from the surface regions. How do we open the gates to the deep? Austin Spare emphasized the use of vacuity and exhaustion for this purpose. Under certain conditions of consciousness, our armour of habit and self-assurance acquires gaps, cracks and holes through which the unknown may be reached. We have to exhaust or suspend our conscious identity. There are several strategies for this purpose. Physical exhaustion is very useful. Good practices are: long walks in the wilderness, dancing, chanting, sex, martial arts practice, etc., – anything that makes you forget your civilized personality, makes you sweat heavily and raises body consciousness.”

“The Hermetic Teachings go much further than do those of modern science. They teach that all manifestation of thought, emotion, reason, will or desire, or any mental state or condition, are accompanied by vibrations, a portion of which are thrown off and which tend to affect the minds of other persons by “induction.” This is the principle which produces the phenomena of “telepathy”; mental influence, and other forms of the action and power of mind over mind, with which the general public is rapidly becoming acquainted, owing to the wide dissemination of occult knowledge by the various schools, cults and teachers along these lines at this time. Every thought, emotion or mental state has its corresponding rate and mode of vibration. And by an effort of the will of the person, or of other persons, these mental states may be reproduced, just as a musical tone may be reproduced by causing an instrument to vibrate at a certain rate –just as color may be reproduced in the same way– By a knowledge of the Principle of Vibration, as applied to Mental Phenomena, one may polarize his mind at any degree he wishes, thus gaining a perfect control over his mental states, moods, etc. In the same way he may affect the minds of others, producing the desired mental states in them. In short, may be able to produce on the Mental Plane that which science produces on the Physical Plane–namely, “Vibrations at Will.” This power of course may be acquired only by the proper instruction, exercises, practice, etc., the science being that of Mental Transmutation, one of the branches of the Hermetic Art.”
