I am BEing with the information below.  Looking at synchronicities as not just cool things but signals that I am in grace which is the same as flow to me.  My guideposts.  BEing with knowing as I stay in the voice of spirit…my higher self…I am living grace.  I am not making the ego bad in myself or in others, NOT attempting to fix it for that is a choice and not staying in relationships and places where that is the set point.  Xo aimlessly focused ;-)

Near Death Experiences – Brain Shift:  Sensitivity and Synchronicity by P.M.H. Atwater (pps 154 and 155)

We know a lot about flow states.  Unlike concentration, which increases brain action, flow states decrease it.  Distortions disappear and we just flow.  Nothing happens, yet everything happens.   You emerge from such a flow state refreshed, inspired, and invigorated.   

I compared mental (internal) flow states in my book, Future Memory, with that external sense of flow that can happen when synchronicity becomes almost routine. 

Aspects of Flow

Internal to Self                               External to Self

Subjective to environment                         Objective environment

Without a focus                                          More in Focus

Release of thoughts                                   Release of goals or vested interests

Stimuli fade away                                       Stimuli increase in clarity

Blank out to nothing                                   Perk up to new possibility

Consciousness expands                           Experience expands

The mind flows                                          The life flows

You know more                                          You do more

Connection with a source of                      Connection with source of guidance

wisdom                                                       beyond self

Gain information                                        Gain harmony and an orderly rhythm to life    experiences

Unify in consciousness                              Unify with the world at large

A state of mind                                          A state of being

Based on thousands of cases I have studied, synchronicitiy’s only purpose is to

catch our attention.  It signals that an external flow has been activated, for

however long.  Get that?  Synchronicity is a signal of movement “switching

gears.”
