Strange Timing & Motive In Polanski Arrest

[R.K. Locke]

A post for those of you interested in synchromysticism/Jungian psychology, etc.

This is the key to your post RK, and I totally do not get to the connection between these betrayals of personhood with synchromysticism/Jungian psychology. (I am somewhat familiar with Jung's thought.)

The link I am making is between the words of the song by Dory Previn and the events described by Dylan Farrow. The full lyrics are here:

She could of course simply be describing an experience of her own, but the similarities from one to the other are striking - right down to the fact that father plays the clarinet.


That is why I would see this as potentially a meaningful coincidence in the Jungian sense.


From the wikia.com page on synchromysticism:


Synchromysticism is a portmanteau of the words "synchronicity" and "mysticism." A Synchronicity is a coincidence with meaning which is usually far less likely to occur naturally than typical coincidences. An observance of synchronicity is often coupled with a recent moment of personal enlightenment or great insight. A shift in consciousness of perceived reality will usually determine ones ability to see an increased number of synchronicities.

The synchromystic world-view is that every-Thing in the universe is connected. All symbols have multiple layers of information, histories, and interpretations. Given enough time and information, eventually all symbols, themes and ideas will be found to contain information about all the others so that each piece of the puzzle becomes holographic in nature; meaning that by focusing on one idea, all others can potentially be expressed. If one is familiar with the Eastern philosophic idea that "all is One," then synchromysticism allows a person to prove it for themselves through active involvement with synchronicity not only in the media saturated world around them, but also in their personal lives. Synchromysticism can be used to decode meaning in situations where that meaning may not have been implied or even originally intended. It has also been used by some in an attempt to foresee future events.
