The Art And Science Of Synchronicity: A New Way To See And Experience The World: ARTSOS 1
Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for insects as well as for the stars. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.”
Albert Einstein
Constructing and Deconstructing Reality Constructs
The “official definition” of synchronicity is vague and filled with concepts even more nebulous. Concepts that lie at the
foundation of the Western world’s core reality construct. A core reality construct (CRC) is comprised of concepts describing how we think the phenomenal world operates.
It is how we explain the how, when and why of what happens, has happened or will happen to entities or between entities.
Welcome to the tenuous world of causality or cause-effect. Synchronicity as defined speaks about events that do not follow the linear cause-effect reality model upon which the classical Western worldview is built.
Synchronicity defined as an acausal (not having a direct observable cause) occurrence begins to wreak havoc on the linear model of Western cause-effect thinking.
Carl G. Jung was dismissed as a mystic and his synchronicity model was considered insufficient for the rigors of scientific testing. But that does not dismiss the phenomena of coinciding events which seem meaningful in some way to the observer.
Jung’s definition does not explain synchronicity. His explanation is only a definition of what characterizes a synchronistic event. Certain other psychological frameworks attempt to explain the phenomena according to the human propensity for certain cognitive biases. [2]
In either case, neither the scientific dismissal nor the psychological treatment explain away every instance of synchronicity. There are some instances that simply fly in the face of a “rational” explanation. The argument of last resort for the “classical rationalist” is chance coincidence according to the “law of large numbers” which states that almost anything is possible given a large enough field of play and enough time. [3]
Synchronicity: What is it?
Most of us have a sense of what synchronicity means and have had experiences referred to as being synchronistic. It is common for people to say that “things happen for a reason” when referring to coincidences.
Though, we may not know what the “reasons” are or we may attribute a “reason” when an outcome manifests or when a meaningful connection is made in the classical sense of synchronicity.
The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia and it includes some comments by the famous psychologist Carl G. Jung, the man who coined and defined the term synchronicity.
["Synchronicity is defined as the experience of two or more events that are causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance.
The concept does not question, or compete with, the notion of causality. Instead, it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause, they may also be grouped by their meaning. Since meaning is a complex mental construction, subject to conscious and subconscious influence, not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effect.
The idea of synchronicity is that the conceptual relationship of minds, defined as the relationship between ideas, is intricately structured in its own logical way and gives rise to relationships that are not causal in nature. These relationships can manifest themselves as simultaneous occurrences that are meaningfully related—the cause and the effect occur together.
Synchronous events reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework that encompasses, but is larger than, any of the systems that display the synchronicity. The suggestion of a larger framework is essential to satisfy the definition of synchronicity as originally developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung.
Jung coined the word to describe what he called "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung variously described synchronicity as an "acausal connecting principle", "meaningful coincidence" and "acausal parallelism".] (1)
The Illusory Sense of Separation
The hidden assumption of Western rationalism is that what we call reality could not be so intimately and meaningfully
Puddle by M.C. Escher ------ A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'the Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He expresses himself, his thoughts and his feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness."This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us."Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."-- Albert Einstein
connected to our mere thoughts. Many of us have experiences to the contrary even though we may not know the full meaning of the synchronicity nor know how it works in exact scientific detail.
Discoveries in physics over the last 75 years have begun to reveal that the observer is an integral feature of the experiment and must be accounted for as part of the experimental set. Physics has discovered many other curiosities about nature that cannot be explained by our classical understanding of causality. [4]
The topic of synchronicity opens up a can of worms of Biblical proportions for it begins to question some of the Western world’s most basic assumptions and subconscious attachments to our ideas about time, cause-effect and the essential nature of reality and the universe. It also calls into question our notions of God, chance, gender-social roles, destiny, free will, personal responsibility and the concept of culpability among others.
A Fractured and Traumatized Worldview
Chaos then and chaos now. What went wrong in the cradle of civilization? An artistic rendering of the birth of Western civilization according to Peter Breughel the elder. We do know what went wrong. The world view of the Judeo-Christian Complex was forged in the crucible of one of the greatest disasters to befall humankind. The rapid and abrupt desertification of North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia that occured about 6000 years ago. Biblical reference to this event is mythosymbolically expressed "Fall of Man" and the "eviction" from the Garden Of Eden. Prior to the catastrophe the region mentioned was green and food sources were abundant with plenty of land to go around. The process of desertification was so abrupt and sustained that the former Garden of Eden was transformed into a fight for survival hell zone know as the cradle of civilization. At the end of this article there are two links to more in-depth information on the subject.
It is for the reasons just mentioned that I feel it important to first examine what I call the decrepit, crumbling and fractured mental house of Western civilization.
The science of synchronicity cannot be fully understood until the perceptual roadblocks inherent in Western thought are deconstructed and dispensed with. I will therefore devote some of the first few articles in this series to the question of the Western World’s core reality construct (CRC). (ARTSOS pts 3,4)
The CRC of the Western worldview is fraught with mental blind spots and ideological landmines of every sort. I do not have a single reservation about singling out the Western worldview as the most ideologically incoherent and as the most incompatible with the natural world.
To be fair the modern Western worldview is now a dizzying amalgam of hundreds of interpenetrating and competing worldviews. My primary point is to say that they all stem from the same core cultural matrix of incoherent and artificial ideas about nature and the nature of reality.
The Western world’s legacy of environmental indifference is staring it square in the eyes at this very moment.
Does over 38,000 Christian denominations qualify as a fragmented mythosophical worldview? [5]
Does over 200 Western branded political ideologies qualify as factionalized socio-political worldview?[6]
Does over 200 streams of philosophical thought qualify as a fractured philosophical worldview?[7]
Physics, the self proclaimed “king of the sciences” is mired in dozens of theories about how to explain the essential nature of energy-matter and its attendant phenomena. [8]
They have cut up Humpty Dumpty into so many pieces and are at a loss to put him back together again. The ever elusive Theory of Everything or Grand Unified or is it the Unified Field Theory is nowhere to be found in the Temple of Physics.
Whatever the theory, there are plenty of them and again my point of the essentially fractured worldview of Western culture is confirmed.
The very foundation of Western thought is askew and therefore everything built atop a faulty foundation is in turn defective to some degree or another.
This is not to say that Western science as a whole is askew. The many branches of science have discovered many useful, beneficial and accurate descriptions of nature. What I am saying is that physics is in a quandary and that its inability to “sum it all up” in one nice neat equation is hampered by some of the most insidious and hidden assumptions of the Western worlds core reality construct. More about those assumptions in SOS pts 3 and 4.
Was the “Theory of Everything” Discovered over 3500 Years Ago?
In contrast the cultures who discovered the natural laws and processes governing synchronicity possessed a singular worldview spanning the entire eco- socio-political, scientific and mythosophical spectrum.
The Tzolkin Code. That this chart could represent a Unified Field Model or "Theory of Everything" is not as far fetched as it may seem. The Digital Physics model involving cellular automata has the support of some very notable physicists including Nobel laureate Gerard T'Hooft. A digital physics model could easily look like the Tzolkin Code. See refs. # 12 -13
In other words they could relate the working principles of nature (science) with the workings principles of society (socio-political science) and thus unite their worldview into a single seamless continuity of being within the whole of nature.
The result was a holistic worldview/cosmology and the entire social order functioned by it.
The worldview of the cultures in question was developed over 3500 years ago. I am referring the cultures of Meso-America or modern day Mexico and Central America. The Aztecs and Maya being the most well known of 80 or so groups inhabiting pre-columbian Meso-America.
The Western worldview on the other hand has been anti-nature and anti-other ever since its inception about 6000 years ago in the deserts of the Middle East. Western culture has for some ungodly reason viewed itself as somehow separate from nature. [9]
As somehow unique and set apart from the rest of “creation”. Let’s just say that the Judeo-Christain Culture Complex (JCCC) has set itself apart from ALL other cultures of the world by being anti-nature at the core of its philosophical roots. [9] More about the JCCC in SOS parts 3 and 4.
It must acknowledge that the Europeans possessed nature based worldviews prior to the Christianization of the European continent.
Nature based worldviews have been systematically snuffed out by the steamroller advance of the JCCC. The forgoing sentence explains why we don’t know very much about the science and worldview of the Meso-Americans.
The invading Christianized Europeans burned all, but 4 of Maya manuscripts and essentially destroyed their culture. And in the process forcing those who survive the ongoing massacres and genocide to convert to the worldview of the JCCC. [10]
The Romans did basically the same to all of Europe. The Europeans in turn have exported the JCCC to whatever country they have “colonized”.
So when I speak of the Western worldview I am speaking about the imposed Judeo-Christian worldview. A worldview from the desert region known as the Middle East.
A worldview distanced from nature could not possibly understand the workings of nature and therefore could never be expected to arrive at a integrated worldview of humanity with the whole of nature. The result is the horrendous socio-environmental predicament we find ourselves in at this very moment.
The Western worldview is incomplete, fractured and essentially dysfunctional. Its non-integrated worldview of things could never be expected to put all of the pieces together in order to arrive at an understanding of how synchronicity is in actuality an intrinsic feature of nature and not the aberration or curiosity it is now presumed to be.
Time for a New and Coherent Worldview
"Look deep, deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~ Albert Einstein
25 years of intensive study into the cultural phenomenon known as Western civilization and I am thoroughly convinced that it must be radically modified in order to accord with eco-egalitarian principles.
Millions of others around the world will concur with my assessment. They are people who either support or participate in activities that espouse such causes as gender balance, environmentalism, peace, socio-economic justice, law reform, criminal justice reform, disarmament, government reform and human rights.
When you add them all up you will find that every major socio-environmental domain is in question and the list is far from being complete. But it does cover the major issues.
Each issue stems from a socio-cultural predisposition which finds its ideological basis in the CRC of the Western worldview.
We all know something is terribly wrong. Endless wars, global warming, rampant GovCorp corruption, resource depletion, pollution, social inequity-decay and unrest are growing problems on limited resource planet.
There are two choices. Run everything into the ground or transform Western culture into an ecologically respectful entity.
In my writings found in other sections of the Emergent-Culture website I pinpoint and Identify where the main source of the problems are to be found and who the main perpetrators are. [14] But we must also understand where the problems lie ideologically for our subconsciously embedded ideas function as software instructions.
We are Born into the System
Enculturation begins the moment we are born. It is an unavoidable process that has thus far proven to be a serious detriment to the progressive evolution of culture. In and of itself enculturation is not a bad thing so long as what is being encultured is healthy for the individual, others and the environment.
We will make it harder for our children to create a better world if we teach them ideas that are in effect detrimental to themselves, others and the environment.
Our failure to recognize and correct the misguided ideas inherent in the Western worlds CRC spells doom for itself and for the rest of the planet.
The Art and Science of Synchronicity (ARTSOS) is so radically different from what we’ve been taught to believe about how our world works, that my rationale is to first deconstruct the Western worldview before I introduce the key sections of ARTSOS.
My approach is akin to the removal of an obsolete computer operating system so that a new and improved version maybe installed in its place.
The following is a brief overview of what is meant by the Science of Synchronicity, along with your first preview into another perspective of what it means to be a member cell of a super organism called humanity.
Synchronicity Explained: A New Way to See and Experience the World
The science of synchronicity can be defined as the knowledge and study of how energy-matter (EM) comes together, develops and evolves (events) and moves about (events) to create increasingly complex systems of organization (multiple simultaneous events) and the resultant coherent interaction among the various systems.
Beginning with the sub-atomic world, atoms, then molecules, cells, multi-cellular organisms and finally multi-organismic systems. Humanity would be at the top of what I call a multi-organismic system.
We will find that humanity’s activity is no less determined than the organized activity of atoms, molecules and cells. We will learn that randomness is one of those delusional ideas of the Western world’s CRC.
Ultimately the Science of Synchronicity will show how every event no matter how insignificant is a function of the essentially synchronistic and orderly nature of energy-matter (EM) at every level of manifestation.
What we have become accustomed to calling synchronicities are in actuality only the most obvious examples of synchronicity. Our world teems with synchronicity and the science I will be revealing will enable anyone to detect the hundreds of humanly meaningful and relevant synchronicities that take place every day of our lives.
Each color of this tree represents the same system characteristics at different scales. Fractal nature applies to events and processes as much as to the the shape of things. Do a simple google image search of "fractal nature" and you will see what I mean in still greater detail.
I want to emphasize that my examination of the Western world’s CRC and its present condition falls within study of synchronicity and is not an irrelevant politically motivated divergence of mine.
Synchronicity pertains to the meaningful movements, states and interactions of systemic entities/organisms (human beings/nations) who are in turn comprised of sub-systems (cells/citizens).
Western civilization is a systemic entity with traceable and definitive movements and states. By movements we can say that Western civilization started in the Middle East and has since spread across the globe.
By states I mean to say that Western civilization can be characterized as having pathological or harmonizing properties or as being ecologically integrated–or not. By interactions we can see how Western civilization relates to other systemic entities i.e. nature and other cultures. [ To be Continued ]
Universalizing the Tzolkin Code
The report you have just finished reading is part one of a series of reports in which I will reveal the intricacies and inner workings of the Tzolkin Cycle, the core cycle of the Maya Meso-American Calendrical system (MMAC).
MMAC is the fundamental knowledge underpinning what we call synchronicities. It is the underlying pattern and framework that Jung spoke of to necessarily exist if synchronicities were to be more than chance coincidence events obeying the “law of large numbers”.
This information is relevant to everyone for the Tzolkin Cycle-Code reveals the order to the flow and quality of events surrounding the evolution and development of our individual and social lives and of the greater body known as humanity. It would be to everybody’s advantage to be aware of naturally occurring bio-rhythms and cycles having a direct bearing on our experience and appreciation of life.
Understanding, learning and tracking the Tzolkin Code will enable the following.
- A Coherent Worldview (CRC).
- Develop your intuitive sense.
- Enhance your appreciation of life.
- Assess prospective relationships.
- Understand relationship dynamics.
- Understand your place in the universe.
- Understand your fundamental character.
- Enhance your understanding of how life unfolds.
- Increase you ability to adapt to changing situations.
- Increase your awareness of how and when situations develop.
- Plan events and occasions at the most advantageous and propitious times.
- Know in advance the thematic and qualitative content of a given period of time.
- Understand the science of relationships and why some us of get along and other not in the purely “energetic” sense.
Note: By relationships I mean all relationships inclusive of lovers, spouses, friendships, parents, children, siblings, associates, colleagues and coworkers etc.

Interesting article. You and I are engaged in similar projects. I have no background in Mayan Calendrics, but I’m curious what you will write about regarding that. Overall I agree that we need a shift towards greater ecological thinking and experiencing. I’m skeptical that any one system of ecological spirituality or philosophy will emerge as THE system, but I do think that creation of such systems are valuable.
Yes it seems to restrictive to think that the entire population of the planet could one day have a singular understanding of the cosmos, nature and existence. My premise for the possibility rests upon the realization of an irrefutable verification of the Tzolkin Code.
After ten years of tracking the Tzolkin I am thoroughly convinced that the evolution of all things is governed by a determined and humanly discernable cyclical process inherent in the very fabric of space-time. It is now upon me to show proofs for the existence of this cycle. Various MAC calendrical researchers and followers will attest to the marvels of the system but no one has yet to put forth an intelligible testable scientific theory about it.
If we assume for the moment that the cycle is proven to exist then we will have established a universal cosmology that applies to anyone anywhere on the planet regardless of our other beliefs. At that point it will be up to the individual to explore the system and verify it for themselves. It's like the day and night cycle. Before the advent of electricity we all rose and fell with the sun. Modern tech has enabled us to create our own circadian cycle but to our own detriment. In other words if these cycles exist it would behoove us on many levels to "get in the flow" if you will.
I'll certainly be interested to hear more about your theories.

Hmm. I had already left a comment, but here is another: I agree that Western Culture puts too much emphasis on rationality..it is a matter of black and white, the world is not wholly rational, but also irrational. This emphasis has indeed been to the detriment of our 'souls' and our planet. I do find it fascinating however, that the science of Physics, using rational thought has uncovered the irrational world of quantum mechanics, wave particle duality and such things as spooky action at a distance. The Tao of Physics so to speak..always struck by how the findings of Physics echo the teachings of Buddha.
So, perhaps the rational science of physics will come full circle, and complete us, as bengs in the universe..if we manage to survive rationality..
Hi Rohaan,
I enjoy your work and appreciate the effort you have put in to your research. Carl Calleman’s work provides the universal system which you mention above, in the form of the Nine Underworlds. This system can be verified when compared to historical data, and fundamentally has the Tzolkin as its basis. If you read his book “The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Conciousness” you will find that his discoveries unifies all of humanity and puts in to perspective the various expressions of culture and civilisation across the world. Reading his work helped me to realise that everything is as it is as part of the grand unfolding of the patterns of evolution. Nothing needs fixing because everything was and is meant to be. Our desire to effect change is the reaction of our conciousness’ to the current energies which are unfolding.
I would like to join you and others in making the incredible wisdom of the Tzolkin and the Mayan Calendar available to all, so that we can each regain the knowledge that each of us are a vital part of the interconnected web of life, and we do have the power to co-create a better world for ourselves and each other.
With Love, Macky

Once again! This time I read more. Ion is not another word for atom, it is specifically an atom that has lost or gained an electron, and so has a charge. I am also struck by an inherent problem..you call this the science of synchronicity, but specifically reject Western Science. I sympathize with your ideas, and believe they are sound, or at any rate lead us in a useful direction, but are they not philosophy? I do think we can have it both ways..science/synchronicity, may be two sides to same coin Again, may I suggest that science or meditation will lead us there.. 'The fault dear Brutus lies not in the stars, but in ourselves'… Which leads to one more comment, I think you neglect our intellect, and free will when comparing human "cells" of Gaia to the cells of our bodies or the atoms that make up molecules..We left the Garden of Eden when we gained self – knowledge..I do not think all our actions can be explained by electrical forces of attraction & repulsion
Paz
Thank you for this information. I am in the process of documenting in the form of a memoir, my personal journey, which has always been synchronistic. I can barely remember an event or person who walked into my life, or having seen an object, without being able to see the synchronicity in it. I don't know if everyone experiences the world and their lives in this way. I hope the contents of this memoir would serve you as giant size material evidence of what you're hypothesizing.

western civilazations are highly immeresed in their own perception over reality as the only way of living and seeing things, thats the problem, because of conquering achievements partly…still in europe there are countries with live religious pre christian traditions, for example in Latvia midsummer fest public holidays Ligo, descending from traditional cult of fire…
I appreciate your refreshing quality work and believe it will all help us all to understand connected reality better than before. I work in an Emergency Shelter for homeless domestic refugees as a Caseworker and Counselor and am so fascinated by the recurring patterns in people's live in relation to their becoming homeless: forms of what can loosely be seen as synchronicity. Thus, I am gaining a better understanding of human nature in relation to social conditioning and environmental impact. Plus, as a humane rights advocate and activist I work closely with people into progressive recovery from assorted addictions. I am glad I am sane, sober and teachable just for today. I will continue to learn more! ~Namaste, ~Peta-de-Aztlan~ .

I experienced a synchronicity of my own when reading through this article: you employed one of Brueghel's paintings (though his name is misspelled). Oddly enough, I had been doing research on him a lot earlier today and using Google image search to look at many of his paintings. Had I read this article a day earlier, it would not have had that extra layer of meaning for me.
That having been said, I am no stranger to Jung's conception of synchronicity. However, I also subscribe to Teilhard de Chardin's belief is a "noosphere", which is similar to Jung's "collective unconscious". Buddhists in turn refer to it as the "Alaya Vijnana" (storehouse of consciousness) whereas Shaivites call it "Spanda" – the sacred tremor.
In any case, I have actively attuned my own intuition to these tremors in the noosphere so that I can always find my way to valuable sources of information like this site or other links in the acasual chain such as obscure books. While the Tzolkin of my ancestors is no doubt an invaluable tool, I do agree with Cynthia that we mustn't toss out the baby along with the bathwater. Erroneous though it most certainly is, we need to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to Western ideology. If we can achieve this balance between modernity and antiquity then we will finally arrive at what forward-thinkers like Terrence McKenna so eloquently termed "the archaic revival".
Will stay tuned to further posts.

yogis nailed this long ago, and came up with a way to make it a direct experience within one's mind … meditation
Please explain what you mean by "yogis nailed this long ago". I can't quite see the connection between calendrics, cosmology and meditation. Inner reflection will not reveal what the study of calendrics and the physical universe has revealed. Please share a little more. The only other cosmology ancient or modern that comes close Meso-American calendrical cosmology is the I Ching.
gregorylent
hi rohaan … yogis nailed how to have the direct personal experience of synchronicity .. and while there are some intellectual and systematic time-keeping, measuring, describing techniques and works, units of time, etc, the central idea of that part of the world is that all this study is about aspects of the self. you learn things because they reveal the nature of one's self.
love your site, and tweets, and would only ask that you increase the contrast between text and background ..
thanks for all your time, and the great efforts you put in here ..
Gregory… thanks for clarification and comment. I will soon publish material on how to track and verify the Tzolkin. I think there is quite a bit more to what I am trying to relate. Once I share the codes you will see what I mean. I will devote a special Twitter account to those who wish to track the Tzolkin with me. Please check out @cosmocycle. The account is dormant right now, but I will soon activate it. Regarding readability, please check out this handy tool bar button that you can add to your browsers tool bar to quickly convert any webpage to your preferred font size and background settings.

Synchronicity (W. Pauli 1952) Motto:
It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality.

wasn't the Mayan population wiped out mainly from many years of severe drought?
though the catholics came along after and dealt harshly with the remnant..
also…I do not recall history regarding the Mayans so in-sync with the universe. what about all the history of constant war?
or is war a reflection of the harshness of nature?
and how does the Mayan practice of slash-and-burn agriculture harmonize with synchronicity?
Its interesting that this article seeks to blame the worlds problems solely on the judeo-christian…
I find that true understanding of judeo-christian beliefs yield a remarkable embrace of the harmony of life called "creation". The ladder including humans and all of nature.
In Genesis humans are not given instruction to prance about the earth and destroying everything in their path, but instead are charged with the immense responsibility of caring for it.
it is true that many people destroyed and harmed in the name of the judeo-christian God, but this does not mean that they represent that God.
It would make more sense to say that they provided a largely imperfect representation of that God and therefore do not speak on behalf of all judeo-christians.
also….judeo-christian thought is not western thought, it is eastern thought….though many have tried to twist the ladder to support their agendas…
while the west was settled with many of a similar mind…not all were of the western thought…some people simply lived beside them as we do now..
Cari amici di Synchronicity , vi informo che durante il prossimo anno pensiamo di organizzare un Convegno Europeo COST su BIO-INSPIRED NANOTECH , nell' ambito del quali vorremmo aprire una ampia discussione su la strategia cognitiva che abbiamo indicato come "BIO-VITALISM" ( ricerca su facebook ), e vediete alcuni scritti divulgativi sull' Entanglement Quantistico in http://www.edscuola.it/lre.html Un cordiale saluto Paolo Manzelli 04/0tt/10

i understand that syncretism is the practice of blending religions together to create a new one.
is that the focus of this site?
Hello Axel,
RE Maya population being wiped out. The Maya population has survived well it was their civilizational order that failed from a combination of factors.
Possessing a great knowledge is no insurance against the abuse of power nor does it guarantee expertise in another area. Slash and burn agriculture has its limits as they found out. The ruling elites are never in harmony with nature so to speak.
I single out the Judeo Christian Culture complex because it is the worlds dominant culture. And it rose to dominance because of its reliance on brute force to achieve its goals. Judeo Christianism is an imperial ideology because it seeks to convert others to its way of viewing the world. It believes that its way of seeing the world is the only valid way of seeing the world and everybody else is delusional. Technically speaking Judeo Christianism is regarded as Western thought. It is the ideological foundation of Western Culture.
I am working on what I call a Holistic Cosmology. A bona fide Holistic Cosmology will apply to everyone regardless of ones cultural particulars or personal beliefs. A Holistic Cosmology means the synthesis of the scientific and mythosophical domains. It is not a set of untested beliefs or social instructions, but a body of knowledge offering widespread social coherence.
A Holistic Cosmology reconciles science (knowledge/wisdom/objectivity) w/the mythosophical (feeling/Intuition/subjectivity)
and is an evidence based understanding of how the universe is ordered and of how that order shapes our mythosophical realm.

Rohaan Solare
thank you for your reply!
concerning mistakes that some from the mayan culture made you said this:
"Possessing a great knowledge is no insurance against the abuse of power nor does it guarantee expertise in another area. Slash and burn agriculture has its limits as they found out. The ruling elites are never in harmony with nature so to speak"
I agree with this statement. It shows wisdom in understanding that we do not need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I am curious though. Why would you not apply this to Judeo Christian culture as well. I agree that many abusive people rose into power and tried to wear the judeo christian tshirt. But One could argue that they were mis-representing that faith.
If you study the life of Jesus you would agree that he acted quite differently and that he rebuked those that used physical force to rise to power. In fact, he instructed his disciples to serve others instead and to love there enemies.
Also, the ideals that jesus taught were very counter-cultural to his time and to ours. they are very contrast to western thought. He just happened to be living in a time that propelled toward western culture.
but, like the mayans, proximity does not negate the origin of knowledge.
Perhaps the culture you are calling into question is not so much judeo christian but rather simply western.
There are teachings in the scriptures of Judeo Christianism (JC) that can rightfully be called universal wisdom, but mixed in with the occasional nugget of "truth" or beauty we find a historical narrative particular to just one culture of of Earths many culture. Woven into the overall JC narrative is an urban based worldview and intolerance for other points of view. The teachings attributed to Jesus are the exception. The mythologist Joseph Campbell noted the exceptionalism and intolerance for others found throughout JC narrative is what distinguishes JC from other worldviews. JC is a regional ideology as are most worldviews, but it seeks to expand its sphere of influence even by force if necessary. I am working on a holistic cosmology founded on the constants of nature. Most traditional spiritual worldviews are based in nature but are a mixture of superstition, natural truths and incomplete understanding. Our increasing knowledge base is allowing us to refine our views of the cosmos and its workings.
In answer to your last point
Perhaps the culture you are calling into question is not so much judeo christian but rather simply western.
. JC is a cultural worldview that imbues every aspect of life for those part of it. Everything we call Western emerges from the foundational matrix of ideas put forth by its mother culture. JC happens to be the mother culture of what is now known as the West. The Classical Western worldview of JC began fragmenting with birth of the empirically based worldview called science. Fast forward 500 years since the birth of the scientific revolution and we know have an amalgam of worldviews in the west but the dominant world view meaning the most popularly held worldview is largely JC in nature. I like to say that we live in the age of confusion since we find ourselves transitioning from regional ideologies to holistic cosmologies.

Thank you for being so open to discuss this with me! I certainly appreciate your replies and am glad to converse with you.
I agree that if someone is to allow themselves to be a true follower of JC that JC commissions them to allow JC to impact every part of them and their lives.
I would think that anything worth believing in would do this though.
Why believe in something if one is not willing to merge their entire being with it?
would it not otherwise simply be the next fad? equal to bell-bottom pants and music genres…
concerning the worldview itself.
I think it would be helpful if you defined in somewhat simple terms what you believe the JC worldview is.
this may better help me understand.
Also, I find it difficult to agree that JC is intolerant to other worldviews. Some people that assume JC identity have displayed much bigotry and hatred towards others with different views. but this is not the example taught from JC.
JC teaches to love others, especially if they believe something different.
JC teaches that one can believe different things and still get along.
some differing worldviews teach that people can not get along if they believe different things so they often choose one of two paths:
1)they decide they must hate others that believe differently
2) they decide that they must not believe in anything that could be controversial or could stir argument. they simply file those ideas under danger.
the curious thing about this is that JC teaches us to respect others no matter their belief.
how else could it lead to people having compassion on those that were trying to kill them?
read the stories of the prophets that would keep trying to help others even though the people were trying to stone them to death like the prophets that came before them.
also note the disciple that came after Jesus Christ. they displayed compassion on the people that had killed their fellow believers even up to death. some were sawed in half while speaking forgiveness to the very ones sawing them. some were crucified on crosses and again spoke of forgiveness not hate.
how can people having compassion of this magnitude be called intolerant?
they showed more tolerance than the world has ever seen.
they believed something very different from their persecutors and yet behaved in a manner that displayed only love and respect.
I must note that much of what I hear others say about JC has come from what we see in the media.
we see loud people on tv behaving in ugly ways while wearing the hat of JC.
but to this we must note that the media focuses on those with the loudest act.
the media often ignores the genuine for the purpose of ratings, knowing that sensationalism is more popular than reality.
while many people have done and said horrible things while while wearing a JC tshirt. I can honestly say that they do not bare a proper representation of JC.
they are simply the loudest act.
thank you again Rohaan for this conversation.
I really enjoy talking with others who are passionate and thoughtful and you certainly display this in your writings.
It is obvious that Ideology and practice are two different things. The former may include elements of tolerance, respect and compassion but as we can see the practice of JC seeks to convert others to its point of view.
Throughout the European phase of Western history non-believers," heretics" and "witches" were imprisoned, burned at the stake or quartered for espousing ideas not espoused by the church. Women for some reason have been regarded as second class citizens and property. The sanctity of nature is non-existent. Pagans or those who have reverence for nature are demonized by the Church. JC represents the shift from a whole of nature based spirituality to a man/urban based ideology.
The focus of JC is that we need "Christ" in our lives so that we may be saved from something called original sin. Otherwise we are doomed in the afterlife. If JC were truly tolerant then it would not try to convert others to its point of view. But as you know most denominations of JC have their missionary branches that go where they can to "save people by attempting too convince them that they need Christ in their lives to be saved from "eternal damnation". The Churches thrive by donations, the more believers they have the better off they are. JC ideology has also been described as a slave moral teaching docility and submission to higher human authorities. If the local Warrior-King has the blessing of the Pope then he has been authorized by the person "closest to God" and therefore approved by God via God's representative on earth. Hence the close alliance between the church and state up until the present moment.
The point is that whatever noble and universal truths maybe found in JC literature they have been distorted, ignored, commodified and appropriated for personal or in-group gain.

Rohaan.
I agree with much of what you said.
In the past, many people have tortured others, oppressed women and people groups, killed people, raped the land of its beauty and resources, and they have done this while wearing a big JC button pinned to there chest.
But, as I have been stating, and as you stated in your last paragraph in the prior post ; these people do not represent the truths found in the scriptures.
Another way to say it would be to say that they were false representatives.
or perhaps imposters.
one thought is that they are human and did some really stupid things.
my hope is that at some point they figured out how wrong they were and decided to stop such behavior.
some did….some did not.
the point is….anyone can take pieces of teachings and use them to support their own personal agenda.
but one can not do this if they take the entire JC scriptures in their full and proper context.
also… i agree that many churches have clung anxiously to power in government.
while it is important for everyone to exercise their rights in government as voters and officials…
it is not correct to use religion/faith to oppress others and that is not the purpose of JC.
yes, JC believes that it has an accurate access to the truth of God.
no, it does not seek to oppress others because of this.
yes, some people do oppress others and use JC to support this wrong agenda.
no, it is not correctly supported by JC and is actually spoken against in scriptures.
axel
Rohaan..
What i understand you saying is that many people have done and said some very hateful things under the guise of JC.
I agree.
Children have been molested by church leaders
Racism has been supported by pastors.
Ive witnessed women being oppressed and racist comments made.
I read about the crusades, witch hunting, slavery, Hitlers reign, and more.
People rise up in all sorts of hateful manners.
and many do it saying that they do it for God.
I see no support for this in JC.
and I personally know many people passionate about living out an active faith in JC that practice a much more accurate discipline in following the beliefs of JC.
These people are not oppressive, do not rape the lands, they do not seek power or fame or fortune.
I could list hundreds that I personally know and I am sure that there are many more.
there are many books, biographies, web pages and more to display practicing followers of JC who live out a compassionate, merciful, forgiving, graceful, loving, just, gentle, kind and generous life towards others.
The documentation on this is immense and available. One need only look.
JC is a faith that believes that humans are not born perfect.
not many people would claim to be perfect.
JC also makes the claim that its followers/believers (even the most devout) need forgiveness and grace just like everyone else.
SO when they miss the mark of being perfect, they are able to access grace.
When someone brands an entire group of people something because of what some people did…this is called BROAD GENERALIZATION.
Tribes in Africa kill each other based on the idea that one tribe is “bad” because they have a different nose and are a different height.
This is another example of broad generalization…
Broad Generalizations are just another form of prejudice.
Broad Generalizations support intolerance and propel movements of hate crime.
I hear you when you say that people have done and are capable of doing many hurtful things.
I do not agree that every single believer of JC supports the people that you have mentioned complaints about.
You seem well educated and open to seeking a greater understanding, and knowledge.
I highly recommend that you spend some time researching the good things that have come from JC.
Research people that have lived a life that has a more accurate lens to JC.
I also encourage some time researching the beliefs of JC beyond the political layer. Look deeper into the actual beliefs and values. you will likely find many things that you already believe and value.
Thank you again Rohaan!
You have been so kind to have this conversation with me!
I certainly appreciate you and all of your thoughtful replies!

Anthropocentric wishes should never be the basis of empirical knowledge. Nihilistic reality checks are very effective at lessening anthropic tendencies.
Please review your philosophy in light of the fact that consciousness is the product of the laws of physics. You are nothing more than a chemistry set. THERE NEVER HAS BEEN CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCES.
While I appreciate the effort, I think you are confusing your awe of coincidences and little knowledge of the relativity of simultaneity and quantum tunneling phenomena.
Please review both the BASIS AND HISTORY of modern physics before relying on fantasy to explain natural phenomena.
@ Anon, You come off a some sort of an expert, but the structure and mood of your comment reveals a hastily and generalized rebuttal to content that is not even found in the article in question. Generalized comments of the kind you made are dismissible. First I would ask what you regard as an “anthroprocentric wish”.
“My philosophy” does not dabble in the esoterics of consciousness. The focus of my philosophy is the nature and structure of change. It has nothing to do with “supernatural” occurrences and has everything to do with everyday occurrences. The physics you speak of is useless to explain patterned change at the human scale. Particle and quantum physics has its place in the lab, in technology and makes for good fantasies. From my vantage point your reading comprehension is poor, your comment merely antagonistic and you display little knowledge of Digital Physics/Cellular Automata models, the Holographic paradigm and Bohm’s Implicate Explicate orders. Each of those models posits a code or algorithm, a source code of sorts for the most basic processes of the cosmos.
Processes that aggregate into the reality we inhabit. My studies have convinced me that the Tzolkin cycle code is the code sought by earlier mentioned cosmological models. What you hastily read is merely the introduction to my work on the Art and Science of Synchronicity. And I do have empirical studies to back up what I am saying. Please review A COSMIC PULSE? The Hyper-Day Mega-Phenomena Correlation. And I have more empirical studies on the way. Also please see The Tzolkin Cycle-Code is to Humans as the Genetic code is to Molecules.

Leo Buscaglia Reminds Us of...
“I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you, where lies your love, your light, your truth and your beauty. I honor the place in you, where…if you are in that place in you … and I am in that place in me…then there is only one of us” -Leo Buscaglia

This speaks to me on a deep level, and coincides with my world view, and synchronicity a favorite theme of mine. Much food for thought here..shall tweet out quotes here and there. Thanks!
