Synchronicity #2

The pictures I took in Bangka Island: Just before sunrise in Tong A Chin (Now Batavia Bangka) Beach, Sungailiat.


I was on my way back to Yogyakarta from Bangka Island, in the East part of Sumatra Island, when thinking about my first post on synchronicity (Synchronicity #1).

It does not take the mystery of a new millenium to convince us that something is shifting in human conciousness. For those with a perceptive eye, the signs are everywhere. To stay alert and to make the time necessary to explore a moment occuring in our life, as well as to mean the connection among moments, could be the key in order to shift our lives in a new, more inspiring direction in this millenium.













It was so silent in a dawn time at Tong A Chin (Batavia Bangka) Beach, on July 5, 2008.

Sixty year old building used as the first telegraph office in Bangka Island, located in Sungailiat. Now it is used for local television office: Bangka Tivi.

Talking about shifting in human conciousness, Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung was the first modern thinker to define the mysterious phenomenon. He called it synchronicity, the perception of meaningful coincidence. Jung, as written by F.D. Feat (Synchronicity: A Bridge Between Matter and Mind), maintained that synchronicity was an acausal principle in the universe, a law that operated to move human beings toward greater growth in conciousness.

Let us seize the moment. Groetjes from Yogyakarta!
