Synchronicities are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality – moments in time when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and openly reveals itself to us, offering an open doorway to lucidity.
The shamanic archetype is one of the major processes that is becoming animated in the collective psyche of our species. It creates a synthesis of the conscious mind and the unconscious, a further evolution in the incarnation of a more all-embracing, integrated and expansive consciousness.
While working as Book Service Manager for the C. G. Jung Foundation, I had a chance encounter with one of the world's leading experts on dreams. I will never forget what he told me.
Art-making is a sacred act. Art attains its greatest numinosity and ability to affect others when the creator of the work of art is being transformed by the act of creating. One can mimic sacred art for a living (many people get paid for this) but this is mere forgery. There is a world of difference between copying, imitating, and aping sacred art, and living our own creative experience. When we live creatively, guided by our daemon, our life itself becomes a living work of art.
Our wounding is a numinous event that can initiate us into a deeper level of our being. When consciousness is guided by feelings of gratitude for the wound's offer of self-realization and personal evolution, it reveals itself as a worthy object of veneration. Our wound manifests as a doorway to our healing, a portal through which we can glimpse our infinite potential.
The archetype of the wounded healer reveals to us that it is only by being willing to face, consciously experience, and go through our wound do we receive its blessing. To go through our wound is to embrace, assent, and say “yes” to the mysteriously painful new place in ourselves where the wound is leading us. This is a genuine death experience, as our old self “dies” in the process, while a new, more expansive and empowered part of ourselves is born.
The biospheric dreambody is a higher-dimensional aspect of ourselves that, just like a dream, is nonlocal and multi-channeled, as it is not
constrained by the apparent physical laws of the third-dimensional universe. It’s a deeper part of ourselves that expresses itself synchronistically both within ourselves and simultaneously in the outside world, through both our personal process and our collective body politic. Just like a dream, something important is being revealed to us in the process of its unfoldment, something that could have worldwide consequences for our planet’s current ecological crisis.
