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.

i am indebted to you Constance for resuscitating this most interesting thread. Can't help being struck by the fact that constance is a particularly Saturnian quality, linking neatly back to Nedloh's first synchronicity which has given me a flash of insight into renaissance understanding of saturn as liminal doorkeeper... gateway into matter as well as lord of karma..

>>>I feel like I am the most on the right track when I'm following the thread of synchronicities in my life... <<<

Absolutely. Synchronicity is the key to understanding the direction you should take in building your own private universe. Or so my HGA tells me.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to the library and picked up a couple of books I had placed on reserve there. I put them in my tote bag without looking too closely at them at the time. Then I went to a local used bookstore to browse their "Occult" section. It's poorly organized, the staff don't have the slightest understanding of the subject matter and tend to ignore the internal categories and just lump everything together, usually under "New Age." I found a book titled "Urban Shaman" and was looking at it, since I feel strongly drawn to that subject. Another browser noticed my interest in the book and told me it was an excellent text on the subject; it was devoted, he said to a discussion of Hawai'ian huna, another topic toward which I feel strongly attracted. So I bought the book.

When I got home with my purchases and my library books, I found that one of the library books I had picked up was an urban fantasy novel titled "Urban Shaman" So I had two books, acquired on the same day, with exactly the same title. That's not a mere hint, that was like a boot in the ass. I think I'm on the right track. Then for confirmation, I was reading Colin Wilson's "The Occult" earlier today and was intrigued to discover that he links the alchemical tradition directly back to shamanism in prehistoric times and regards the traditional shamanic gifts as skills once common and now nearly forgotten. So, it must be time for me to get to work, once I complete my initial studies of the art.
