I had an amazing moment of synchronicity today. These moments have been pretty common in my life, but this specif one was... well... just wow. I have no words that could possibly describe the feeling that accompanied this moment. I have touched this feeling before, but something about today was different. It was the same feeling but maybe with more understanding. Hard to explain. The synchronization is, for now, too extensive and complicated to explain. It is the feeling that is relevant.

It is a feeling of having the most beautiful song in the world to sing from the highest mountain top, yet there is no voice and there is no mountain. The feeling just sits. It just is. Nothing can be done with it. Many years ago, I wrote a poem about this feeling (more of a koan I guess):

Once, I tried to explain,
The amazing feeling,
That rests deep,
In the heart of my soul.

Out came swarms,
Of stutters,
And jumbled sentences,
Gaining only blank stares.

It was as if I was,
Describing colors,
To a man born without sight,
So instead, I just smiled.


There really is no way to describe it. I suppose the quick answer is that it is Love. But even that is not enough. It is a joyful sadness and a saddening joy.

This is the lonely path of growth... the inability to share this feeling with accuracy. It just sits bordering on the edge of overwhelming. Perhaps this is specific to me and part of my necessary experience. I don't know.

Something shifted for me today though. Like the closing of a chapter or the onset of spring. Very powerful.

Then again maybe I am just crazy :)

Edit: This is bordering on ridiculous. Just in case it becomes important.... 3:30 am or pm.

And then you have others here who can relate in many ways with what you are experiencing. As I read this, I thought if we were in the same room I would just give you a hug like two old war vets and say, "I know brother. I KNOW."

Sounds to me like you are on The path of love ...
The feeling of joyful sadness and saddening joy comes (for me) in moments of intense love and comes with an overwhelming feeling of connection to EVERYTHING and being FULLY present in a perfect moment.
It took me nearly 50 years to feel that way for the first time

Bette. I just keep getting 3:30 over and over again. If I had to guess, I would say that it is not a precognitive type of thing, but I honestly don't know what to make of it. Some very strange things are going on in my life lately.

Thank you my friends for the kind words. I am very grateful to not be alone in this.

Interesting... goggle 3 33 , you are not alone, there may be some significance to that

That is very interesting. I had no clue that this happened to other people. I have frequently associated seeing triple digits on a clock as a nudge to pay attention. Often times this has led to some synchronization or other such moment. Other times I just sort of nod and smile. Interesting that others experience it as well. I had assumed that it was personal.

This is exactly what has been going on with 3:30. 3:33 has popped up a great deal lately... to a strange degree. A few days ago my clock randomly went haywire. It was actually around noon, but my alarm clock read 3:33. I clicked back in from meditation at 3:33pm, woke up at night at 3:33am, and on and on. This has been true lately of other numbers (5:55 etc), but the time of 3:30 in general has come up a great deal in areas other than just seeing it on clocks.

There are several ques that I have picked up on over the years... birds swooping in front of me, songs coming on the radio/ipod, and several others. Normally these types of things occur every now and then. I have always considered them as guideposts or pats on the back of sorts. However, lately such events have been the norm... to the point that I feel like I am in a dream. I have had to do several lucid dream type "reality checks" to make sure that I wasn't dreaming. Today, I seriously considered that perhaps I was being prepared to pass on. I'm pretty sure that such is not the case, but at this rate, I would not be surprised.

I am not one to read into these sort of things tooooo much other than accepting them as nudges and pokes to pay attention. This round is extreme though. The approach remains the same though: try to make my next choice just a little bit better than my current level of being.

So thankful for this forum.

Randy,

You might find this book interesting just about now:

THE THREE "ONLY" THINGS
Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence and Imagination

http://www.mossdreams.com/Design%202009 ... things.htm

A parenthetic note... probably for someone else entirely, but I am getting cued to drop it here, is to mention strategies to pull one's self together after after getting blown out on the trail.... maybe having gone further out 'into the cosmos' than usual, or plugging one's being into an (Jungian) archetype (too big a subject to be talked about here independently, it's an interesting topic that deserves a thread of its own), or simply have profoundly life changing events of any sort occur.

And the basic theme of the strategy is this: To pretend, for small periods of time, an hour or two, that the event did not happen, and to engage one's self fully in concrete mundane familiar activities.... mowing the yard, going for a long walk and studying the scenery, weaving, sewing, working out... that sort of thing.... all the while vigilantly refusing to allow any attention to currents of change that would otherwise be overwhelming and destabilizing.

The idea hasn't got a lot of attention on these boards... but just as it is essential to get leverage over belief systems, it is also maybe even more essential to have good protection from the (Castenedian) wind.... when world views (belief systems) get shattered, the first order of business is to find safe solid ground on which one can re-group.

Yeah, that clock thing gets me all the time too, haha, pun. Anyway, 11:11 and 12:34 are my two favorites. I get 10:23 a lot because that is my birthday. None of these little whatever they are's would be possible without digital clocks. I chalk it up to looking at the clock a lot. :) jk

I know this question probably isn't useful, or whatever, but do you think your seeing 3:30 would have happened if we didn't have digital clocks?
Love
Bette

Lately I've started to see how minutes have been changed on electronic clocks, a microwave or my stove. As soon, as I look at it, click, I can see how one digit becomes another one. I can literally see a flowing change. Oh, and birds swooping in front of my car for seven or eight years now. Funny, very funny indeed. I think this is LCS's way to tell you, hey, you, there is more, much more here, right under your nose. ;)) All you need is to pay attention and may be more is coming. You don't need any special place or time, it is here already. Smile and be open, enjoy uncertainty.

Justin, go here, and look at the comments, please. You should notice what I am referring to.

I don't know. Digital does seem to be a sort of easy way for LCS nudges. Such things have also occurred via the radio and and my iPod... playing the perfect song etc. Once when I was in the navy, I was having a panic attack in my jeep. A commercial came on at that moment, "do you have an intense fear of death, a feeling that you can't breath, etc." The commercial went on describing the exact symptoms I was experiencing. It was an advertisement recruiting subjects for a medical study regarding panic attacks. I began laughing out loud and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. It is of course hard to explain fully, but it was all a nudge to face my fear of death and provided a pivotal "aha!" moment for me. Finding or seeing 3 pennies has also been another big one that has been going on for many years. Anyway, my point is that I think the LCS will just use whatever is around that will serve the purpose of nudging without disrupting the functionality of the rule set (psi uncertainty principle). Digital clocks seem to be common though.




I'm not sure I understand what the comments are referring to. The ones about 3:30 and 27:45 of the video?

Just the reference to 3:30 in that one, not all the symbolism seen where it ain't stuff though. It is the exact "symbol" itself.
