The term synchronicity, according to Carl Jung means "not just any coincidence, but meaningful coincidence." I just call them perfect moments and continue to pray that I am "awake" and "present" enough to realize them when they occur.
How many times have you thought of someone only to pick up the phone and have them be on the other end? How many times have you thought of a song, only to hear it on the radio a few minutes later? I could go on, but we all have our own examples.
I believe that life is full and provides us with exactly what we need, when we need it - just as it provides us with exactly what we ask for.Sure enough it may not be how we expect it to be, how we envisioned it or as we had asked for, but it does happen. The specific details are the only things that may not be the same.
For instance, I always have asked for time to be alone to write without feeling like I was letting anybody down. I now have an illness that forces me to stay home and not being physically capable of doing much, I have the time to write. Sometimes the messages and delivery are subtle, other times not so much.
Now I am not saying that I asked to be ill or that anybody else does - but what I am saying is that in the end I did get what I asked for and what I needed. So does that mean I asked for the wrong thing, didn't put enough qualifiers on it, got a bum rap or simply have faith that what and how things happen is as it should be and that I need to let go of control and just be.
Have you ever noticed that the more you really want something - the less you actually get it? Perhaps that means you didnt actually want "it" at all... and "it" was a means to an end or just a substitute or distraction from what was really going on? Somehow the universe knows the real truth of what we are asking and answers that, not the flowery rantings of the manipulative selves to get what we think we want.
The closer we are to being true to ourselves, the more these moments of synchronisity happen - or perhaps more correctly, the more we are able to see them. When you are ready, they happen. When you know what to do with them, they come to you. When you are ready to give back the perfect opportunity presents itself.
Life is a constant exchange of give and take and we must be careful not to take too much and give too little. If we take too much and are only focused on self - we miss the joy of giving and seeing the pleasure in others. Yet we must also not give away so much that we miss the gift of being alive.
We each have our own personal horizon and must learn to live within it - under what conditions we serve others and allow them to serve us. I believe that the best way to have perfect moments is to trust the messages in synchronisity and pay attention to them when they happen. Each of these moments is to teach us something, to help us move forward in our evolution and destiny.
We are all seekers - looking for answers and directions. We need to stay present instead of tuning out. Call it spirit, call it intuition - call it whatever you like, but if you are open to it - it will give you a guiding hand on our journey. It's up to you whether you take it or not.
