Synch holes, as I call them, are one of the features you’ll
come across in a journey. Though I ran
across many myself they’re difficult to point out to others. But you can know the conditions where they
might appear. A synch hole can also be
your introduction into the land of mythos. They are like the firemen’s pole
that cartoon characters slide on. As
they’re responding to the fire alarms they jump from their beds, grab the pole
and slide through the world of waiting, into their fire suits, down to the fire
engine. And they’re off into the world
of experience. That’s pretty much the
story with synch holes. You fall into
them and travel through the world of coincidence at break neck speed. Synchronicities are events that occur
concurrently in time filtered through your experience. One event will lead to another and they’ll
mirror each other and relate in profound ways.
Often, they represent a blending of dimensions.
What are
some of these synchronicities? Some, you
might say, are one coincidence too many.
I like to think of them as synch holes because it’s similar to a fishing
hole that you can return to time and again with a sense of certainty that
you’ll catch something.
I had a
bear synch that blended dimensions for me.
Bears came as gifts, as answers to my prayers, as sayings, as visitors
to my lean to on a camping trip. The
saying ‘sometimes you eat the ear and sometimes the bear eats you’ transformed
through my bear synch into sometimes you become the bear. I received a bear carving from a friend, a
stuffed bear, the bear visitors at the campsite, all without speaking of this
bear synch to anyone. I know that we can
inadvertently create our own synchs.
Often by seeking others with similar experiences and desires. But this means that we’re touching
the deep currents of thought and motion in our lives. You’re bound to do this when your false oars,
nicotine and sugar were mine, drop off into the seas leaving you with your own
resources to row home. When you have no
place to turn to on the outside you often go inside. As others have done before. And this is where you can sometimes see the
writings on the wall. Noticing synchronicities
helped me on my way.
