THE MYSTERY OF SYNCHRONICITIES
Synchonicities are a mystery, to many, and integrity is commonly misunderstood to mean, "behaviors socially considered to be 'proper' and 'honorable'".Let us clarify the airwaves.
AGENCY
A place where people go to find employment. To be put to work, to take action. A place that deploys people to employment. A place where a lot of people are employed. A place where secret agents hang out. No.
COMMUNION
A religious ritual. A religious experience. A feeling of one-ness with (or as) something or everything. The result of putting attention on something long enough to get an incoming experience. The experience of incoming experience (ATTENDING TO IMAGINING to the point of REMEMBERING for a time). The experience of a group of individuals sharing a feeling of one-ness. A flock of priests. OK.
What happens when you put them together? What do you get?
Agency*Communion. A commonality-based unity of agencies, a community of agencies, agencies secretly in communion with each other. A Communist Agency! No.
As living beings, we experience agency as the sense of being a doer of things, being responsible for things, but also of being witness to our spontaneous actions; the taker of responsibility (respondent) as well as apparent and seeming initiator of actions that return consequences back to us.
But -- and here's the big question -- how do we know we're doing or being any of those things?
A-hah!
We experience it as incoming experience. Received Feedback, Information Formation, The Narratives of Mythic Beliefs, The Transparency of Truth, The Diversion of Fallacy, Characteristic Emotions, The Body Sense, The self-Sense -- all Modes of Communion -- shaped differently at different levels of the being.
There's more than agency; there's also communion.
So. Back to Earth.
We have incoming sensations and move in ways and at times that are outgoing -- and at other times, coming back "in" -- returning to rest, floating at center (balance) and at no-center (transcendence).
Communion doing the Sensing
Agency Moving Sensibly Between Activity and Rest
Between Activity and Rest
There may exist more or less continuity in the sensing of oneself in movement more or less continuity in the sensing of \ones own state. Attention wanders and we don't always look where we're going. There's a condition of misdirection.
Also, the senses depend upon memory for us to recognize anything. Disruption of ones movements and sudden changes of ones state (shock) create a break of identity (amnesia), as memory can't keep up with the intensity of the change or the speed of that change. The phonograph needle scratches across, leaving a click (or glitch) behind, as experiences leave their mark (memory), in us.
Identity continues to live, moment-by-moment, as a sensing of self and other and the moment-to-moment embedding of ongoing memories -- most of the "embedding" happens in the background -- unless pleasure overwashes us or pain strikes for a time. Then, we experience heightened awareness -- more or less pleasant or unpleasant, but heightened -- and heightened awareness is like the laser that burns the groove of a phonograph record, CD or DVD. The brighter and more sharply focussed, the deeper and sharper the impression. Obvious.
In incidents of disruption and discontinuity, a gap or "abyss of unknowing" encloses or encapsulates the memory stream that existed prior to the disruption. It's "saved" and no longer a continuous part of the memory stream forming after it. This gap of memory or abyss of unknowing separates the newly forming identity from what it was before the disruption. That's the discontinuity, a disjointed experience. It's a lump in the gravy of the mind, a scratch across the record of memory, a skipping of CD playback. We do well to stir in the lump, to smooth the groove, to buff out the scratch.
But to do so requires magnifying the ability to experience communion, to smooth it out so it's fairly steady. Then, we can apply that ability for communion -- which is the ability to pay attention -- to the trouble left behind by the disjointed discontinuity on the other side of the abyss of unknowing, the gap in memory.
There exist specific ways to do that (the TetraSeed Awakening Invocations). We find the way into the lost, disjointed experience and we integrate it into our integrity. We get free in it and free of it. It loses it's compulsivity. It becomes vulnerable to changing, available to emerging newness.
We do clean up on ourselves by making the unconscious, conscious, and undergoing the shifts to ourselves that result from making the unconscious, conscious -- the TetraSeed Awakening Invocations being of effective means of doing so.
The more we clean up, the subtler our sensing and the subtler our control. Also, the clearer our self-signal and the better our ability to home in on the signals of others and the signals of things to come that invade us through incoming imaginaation (but that we may not notice because of our own disjointedness and mental noise).
Also, as we clean up, more power goes into our actions -- with less effort than we're used to -- because, in our integrity, we have wakened intelligence and released our old forms of self to conform to that higher intelligence. We are more congruent, integrated, "laser-like", free of the drag of unintelligent memories formed as the mark of our remembered experience. This added potency makes necessary "recalibration" of how much intent we apply, in life, (i.e., recalibration of our self-re-control) from time to time, on a ongoing basis.
This recalibration is the ongoing occupation of human proto-mutants, everywhere, who are learning to awaken themselves so that they and their environments develop more intelligently.
This isn't from Outer Space or science fiction. You think it is? I assure you: it's actual and true of a percentage of humans, today -- the leading face of the progressive movement of humanity, often unseen.
Have you heard of synchronicity? (who hasn't?).
Synchronicity is an unexpected synchronization of events that have recognizable connections of significance. In other words, they're too blatantly related to be overlooked, but too weird to act upon. Synchronicities (dreams that foretell, reveries that show up, in life, like the song that goes through your mind and then shows up on the radio -- how often do you hear that song played? or the person you think of, who calls within a day) -- resonant moments in the stream of experience -- more likely to be recognized if the individual isn't already and presently drowning in the background conditioning of consolidated memories, the noise of a mind with an accumulated pile of unresolved business that causes him (or her) to lag behind in his (or her) responsiveness to present circumstances. For most of humanity, as far as I can see, "fuggeddaboutit".
Still, synchronicities appear in movies, and even in the circumstances surrounding the creation of each movie -- such as the impossibilities that beset of filming the tale, Don Quixote (not "Man of La Mancha" -- a musical) --- and the state of grace that blessed the filming of the film, "Miracle on 34th Street" -- and the unexpected good fortune that "Casablanca", a film of virtue and healing, with a plot twist at the end, emerged as a classic, an outcome not expected by the studio to be particularly noteworthy -- and the weirdnesses that beset the filming of, "The Wizard of Oz".
But I digress. Not really. Not at all, actually.
Synchronicity.
Agency in Communion with Communion
and Communion Intelligently Informing Agency
There develops a finer clarity of self-expression -- the way agency transforms when in communion with communion, and adapts more easily (though occasionally, it must be admitted, screaming, with feet dragging and fists pounding -- that's humanity in the 21st Century).
There develops a finer clarity in how Communion communicates the situation of reality to Agency. (Get the metaphor? No? Then I'm wrong -- or you're just not aware of that, yet)
Sensation and movement are inner and outer perspectives on the individual (soma - body).
Sensation is Communion.
Movement is Agency.

INTENTION (AGENCY)
Communion:Attention:Sensation || Agency:Intention:Movement
See how they go together?
Soma is (we are) sentient (sensory attentive and intentionally moving), developmental (faculties emerge), initiatory (pushy), malleable (omni-adaptive, more or less), and can be observed to undergo changes of tension and intention as experience activates different memory patterns. You know. Nervous tension, emotional "reactivity", resistance to change, guilt, offensive defensiveness internal conflict, regret, shame ... (the list goes on an on). You get the idea.
Want better self-awareness and self-expression? Want greater intelligence? Improve the vehicle of expression -- yourself -- not by adhering to a set of ideals, but by dissolving the drag of confused agency and awakening the full structure of your intelligence, the full spectrum of your faculties.
It's a progressive job that allows synchronicities to happen and be recognized with seemingly increasing frequency. It's a progressive job that increasingly reconciles us to the the mystery of existence and the intuition of non-existence. It's a progressive job that relieves us of the marks of experience and integrates our continuity with that, about which we had lost intelligence. It's development of higher integrity.
The TetraSeed Awakening Invocations are potent, in that regard.

There's a connection. Wonder about it.
