Travel and Psychokinesis – patterns of synchronicity

Psychokinesis, or remote influence, is psychic influence upon an object, process, or a system. It is the scientific term for practices like prayer, voodoo, chanting mantras, and witchcraft. It may also refer to the power of positive thinking to bring about desired events. Psychokinesis is the ability for conscious intention to act as a force on the external world.

The Global Consciousness Project is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998, described as “an attempt to detect potential interactions of ‘global consciousness’ with physical systems.” Using geographically distributed random number generators to uncover potential anomalies in their output and its potential correlation with world events that elicit widespread emotional response or focused attention by large numbers of people.

It suggests that focused consciousness among people can have an ordering effect on the universe; a type of psychokinesis. When the observer notices the correlation, it is perceived as a synchronicity.

According to Jung, synchronicity is: “a causal connection of meaning between inner psychological states such as dreams, fantasies, or feelings, and events in the outer or material world." Synchronicity is like a quick “blip” of the underlying interconnectedness of the universe.

Thus, one can see via synchronicity – an observation of interconnectedness - that our external world is connected to our internal world. Likewise, a person’s individuality is connected to the whole. Through an understanding of psychokinesis we see that something as individual as “thought” and “emotion” subsequently manifests a “reality”.

Synchronicity is an opportunity to return to the whole. By acknowledging these “coincidences” and assigning them value – we are training our brains to see pattern. This is a practice. The more open to this reality we become the sooner we begin to uncover how unconscious and subconscious thought effects behavior.

To authentically evolve our individual and collective thinking we must begin to operate with conscious knowledge that what we do DOES affect the whole. We create life by putting off our own unique biological rhythm all of the time. What type of life are you creating? Are you being responsible with it?

Travel is just one way we experience synchronicity. I also notice the phenomena when I am skiing, walking, conversing with strangers and engaging with the “mundane”. However, certain qualities of travel increase the likelihood that I will experience the phenomena. In addition, these synchronous events also appear to have a greater chance of correlating with an event of perceived importance – like needing to locate lodging for the night, or find a ride to the next town. In this way, synchronicity overlaps with psychokinesis. And the “user experience” is a realization of living in an interconnected universe.

The traveler must adapt at a very fast rate. When traveling, we are thrown into a foreign environment, and navigation of this new environment is key to our survival. More specifically, when we are traveling to experience new cultures – it is the behavior of people that becomes the “environment” we must perceive and navigate. As a result, our limbic systems switch into overdrive - assigning meaning to the objects and people that comprise our new environment.

This is how a new perception is built.

Our temporal lobes attempt to derive meaning from this new input, and the received information is seen as highly symbolic and meaningful to us. We begin to witness the synchronous qualities of life. This is when the nature of our thoughts becomes extremely important. If we are paranoid, these new symbols may come across as threats in the environment – building into a negative experience built off of a fear based perception. However, if we allow our “higher self” to navigate this experience, the symbols can appear mystical – unveiling the interconnected world around us.

Positive thought and perception can increase the likelihood of experiencing a positive reality. By mindfully engaging with the world from the perspective of an interconnected, whole world view, we manifest a more harmonious reality.
