035 // Signs & Synchronicities

As It Goes

Apr 20 2022 • 55 mins

We’re talking about those seemingly magical moments of meaning happening all around us - signs from the universe and synchronicities. Exploring the ways in which meaningful coincidences occur and opening up to their deeply profound meaning and guidance, we discuss what we can do with these occurrences and how we can use them to empower us on our journeys.


We ease into the conversation by talking about the joy of candles and Bilden Farmacy’s candles before introducing examples signs and synchronicities (02:28). We take a moment to address our skepticism with openness and some research related to the subject (05:44). We divulge into (as one must in this context) talking about the question: Is life meaningful or do we give it meaning? (15:09) before we can discuss what signs add to our daily lived experience of life, interconnection and guidance on our path and truth (24:49). Then we discuss and define synchronicities according to Carl Jung and sings according to Laura Lynn Jackson (27:04). Pausing to discuss the perspective of “crossing over” as an alternative to “passing away”, the Buddhist perspective on death, and the necessity of feeding our soul with the “mystical” (28:26). Returning to signs, we review some examples of signs received from the book, my life, and what Laura calls “default signs” (34:03). We reflect on the necessary role of becoming an active participant in receiving signs and synchronicities (41:41) before returning to Jung and the roles of symbols (signs, and synchronicities) in our lives (43:12) to illuminate the meaning present in our existence and lives (46:16). Finally, concluding with quick tips on how to get started and be an active participant in asking for and receiving signs and synchronicities (50:12).
