DANCING

If we are going to join and knowingly participate in the cosmic dance it is helpful to know the steps.  We are all participating but to participate knowingly is more enjoyable. This entire flow of creation and evolution is the cosmic dance.  Some move with the flow and they will reach the destination one day, others have become bored with the pace.  They have come to understand something of the direction the flow is taking and its destination. They learn the intricate steps of the dance.

As seen in one of the previous articles, (The Journey …), consciousness now seeks its source, the river merges with the ocean. All unit consciousnesses merge with the ocean of consciousness.

SYNCHRONICITY

There is a theory that the Big Bang was a synchronistic event, in other words a meaningful coincidence.  Some astrophysicists say that if the Big Bang had happened a millionth of a second earlier or later this physical world would have been very different or not happened at all.  A marvelous symphony of synchronicity took place in the first few moments of this universe.

Suppose that I bought a blue frock and by mistake the shop delivered a black one on the same day my husband died.  This would be a meaningful synchronistic event.

It was Carl Jung who coined the term ‘synchronicity.’  He said, “Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.”  Meaning that synchronicity is not unnatural, it is not an anomaly, it is the norm.  Unfortunately we are so busy with our agenda that we are not aware of it happening all around us.

There is one clear measuring rod that can be used to determine whether one is approaching enlightenment  (participating fully in the dance).  How often we recognize synchronicity taking place in our lives.

TARGETING THE DANCE

It is the intention of the yogi/spiritual aspirant/cosmic dancer to merge his or her consciousness with that of the cosmic flow.  This is a monumental target and the tools which we have to help us in this are numerous.  We must keep in mind though that the target is extremely subtle.  The subtlety of our tools must be equal to that of the target.  Mind is the most subtle tool we have at our command.  One suggestion is to download the meditation app, to a smart phone or to your brain, better to your brain. Apply the discipline of a daily meditation practice to the task.

Fostering synchronicity is to understand and participate in it when you see it happening in your life. Then it can be said that you are Celebrating the Cosmic Dance.
