i have!...once. on the day that a friend gave me a videotape copy of the jazz musician Sun Ra's movie Space Is The Place, i also found the book The Morning of The Magicians by Louis Pauwels & Jacques Bergier in a used book store, particularly interested in the section on alchemy. i should back up & mention that Sun Ra maintained that he was an entity who incarnated on Earth from Saturn. (whether he meant this literally or metaphorically i can't say.)...so i bought the aforementioned book, & you can imagine my astonishment when i turned to part 5 of the alchemy section & read this passage: "the old alchemical texts affirm that the keys to the secrets of matter are to be found in Saturn. by a strange coincidence, eveerything we know tyoday in nuclear physics is based on a definition of a "saturnian" atom. according to Nagasoka & Rutherford, the atom is a central mass exercising an attraction surrounded by rings of revolving electrons."
  • here's another! yesterday afternoon while riding the bus, a man got on board who wore a teeshirt printed with the periodic table of elements. then in the evening of the same day, i watched a movie (The Holy Mountain) which included a scene involving a chart of...the periodic table of elements!
    • It seems that from the moment I sent an alchemical intention for my spiritual evolution, my life has been a constant source of reflected 'synchronicities'~so much so it has now become 'life' and how I interact with my illusion.
      • which brings me here .. the synch I mean ..
        wow great piece of info Nedloh ..
        I'm just dealing with Saturn transiting all my Leo planets
        and ah well I'll say no more ..... fascinating to say the least

        I'm surrently re reading the very same book ....I certainly will come across that part YAY !!!
        • yesterday i picked up the current issue of Fortean Times magazine which has an article on underground journalist Art Kunkin (founder of the Los Angeles Free Press) particularly focusing on the fact that he now seeks longevity by way of alchemical elixirs...and on that same day i bought a chocolate bar, and i discovered printed on the inside of the outer wrapper...a passage from something called The Alchemist's Notebook..which actually had nothing to do with alchemy per se...just a silly promotional device for the chocolate company.

          i haven't started to read the article on Kunkin yet. if it turns out to contain anything very interesting, i'll start another thread and discuss it there.
  • Great subject, Holden. I love noticing these synchronicities. It's like the Universe is saying, "Checking signal. Test, test. Ahem, are you getting this?" For me the most recent one was reading Paul Levy's article that Iona shared and reading another reference to the Wounded Healer someplace else the same day, I forget where, possibly another tribe.
