#4. Doing the Reality Dance

Mar 17, 2005 21:56

The tree just outside my window, now stretching above my third-floor apartment, is starting at last to leaf-out - and so is the undertaking of this journal, in perfect cyclic timing with the calendar opening of Spring. Our three preliminary entries required most of a month to think about and write, which accords with the nature of a Spring opening ( Read more... )

Thus, meaningful synchronicities (as Jung regarded them)

Ahhhh... how I love synchronicity. And I somehow 'noticed' it, before I knew much of Jung.

But lives of conformity are also in the captive grip of many kinds of practical necessity, not to mention ordinary peer pressure, which leads those so involved to reject the tendered offering,

My early and mid life was quite tied up in the grip of practical necessity. Although, at times, I did manage to throw off a lot of peer pressure and blossom in some ways. But it's not been till this Season, when I could almost fully throw off a lot... And strike out more. Mentally that is. And on the Net. I'm still not traveling in the real world, and doubt I will ever do so. But I can travel, via things like your adventures. :-)

But again... I can do these things now, because of following practical necessities earlier. But... that's just my path. I'm sure to continue to enjoy hearing of yours... As I read on...

and a full year's residence in Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the west coast's most fabulous (and fabulously costly) communities -

Oh lucky you!!! I'm over on the East coast but was able to make a trip to CA, a few years back. And during it, was able to just peek in at Carmel-by-the-Sea. Mmmmm..... Pretty. *sigh*

if I had a magic wand, I'd *make* a tiny cottage near there. Quaint and lovely and tiny. With a cottage garden of flowers around it. *grin* Dreams.... Dreams... Silly dreams...

the satisfying resolution to some severe medical problems,

Wonderful!

Wondering if you have this documented anywhere? And if I keep reading, in all your places... And get your book... Maybe I'll find it! :-)

I'm not sure that I do have it documented anywhere, in reasonable completeness. I would summarize it for you, but the story is so incredibly rich in instances of synchronicity and Providence that I couldn't do it justice in a mere summary. Let it wait. I'll either find some accounting for you, perhaps buried, or I'll be writing about it eventually.

Re: Medical... seek_light July 28 2005, 13:01:41 UTC

Let it wait.

Certainly. There may well be an accounting of it somewhere. And you'd be the best one to come upon it. And also ~ It isn't momentarily necessary. :-) I'm just glad you had the wonderful experience of this. It's not an easy thing ... to heal, as it were.

I have pharmacists in the family and so, have a smattering of knowledge of many medical/health issues. Enough to know... you had serious gut problems there.

And I use the term 'had,' in a hopeful way. I'm pretty sure these issues never fully go away. You've always got to deal with them, in one form or another. I have my own gerd issues and they never fully go away. But... we learn to deal with them. :-)

A quick aside ~~ I love your Icon!!! It speaks volumes!! :-)
