While not technically Gnostic, Jungs ideas very much were Gnostic in spirit. Here is a sermon on Psalm 14 and a psychological approach to it given at our church on Sunday.

Why did Jung implicitly feel that whatever force was behind our lives God/collective unconscious... (Whatever drives synchronicities and quietly shapes out lives), why did he feel it was necessarily good or devine even? Why isn't this force considered at least neutral or downright sadistic if it is so intelligent?

I mean life is hard right, I get that you can grow through facing adversity, but there's a limit to being tested and being punished.

Anyway wish I could construct my question better, but hope it makes sense. Look forward to your thoughts, thanks.

I’ve been thinking about something and now I can’t unsee it.

For ex, charizard doesn’t become something completely different when it evolves. It becomes a more complete expression of what it already was (charmandar) and charmandar was always headed toward charizard.

Integrating unrealised potential!!!
Does anyone see the same shape? Or am I reaching here?

Hi there,

I am wondering what the synchronicities are about? I have been experiencing constant synchronicities….I didn’t know what a synchronicity was until May 23rd…I have been getting psychic readings and such. The first of many synchronicities started on May 1st maybe even sooner? Or later? Anyway. It started with the word primal this guy that I am thinking about told me his feelings for me were primal. Anyway so May 1st I ran into a truck named primal custom apparel. May fifth on LinkedIn primal intelligence. I took photos of both because I thought it was strange. Then primal kitchen on YouTube about twice. Then I kept on running into people that I know. Constantly 9 people 5 that I knew personally and 4 that I knew sort or had spoken to. In different places. Even tonight as I was writing this draft I was on the train when I looked over and saw a girl I had worked with! lol I thought it was funny! Because it keeps on happening! I also started to read bits of Jung’s book on synchronicity…have run into the scarab jewelry! Today I asked a girl at the cheese shop about her earrings and she said that it was basically beetles/scarabs. The guy I like lives in Adelaide Australia I met a guy who had been to Adelaide…and constantly I see things on Reddit named Adelaide Adelaide Claxton Princess Mary Adelaide and such. Adelaide the bar…my psychic reads the Egyptian Cartouche and there was a post with a headstone with the Egyptian symbols in Adelaide Australia it was a Catholic cemetery I’m Catholic. lol my favorite psychic also shares the same birth date as my mom. And the reason why I googled crazy coincidences was because I had gone to the museum on the 23rd the day I texted this guy. And basically I saw my old graphic design professor. He was maybe the 4/5 person I ran into. I’ve run into him like twice in 10 years. And then I asked this girl about her necklace and it was the cross of the order of st Benedict the guys name is Benedict. After that I ran into the st Benedict symbol like 3 times…the most recent was like a few days ago. I went to a Brazilian bookstore and the guy heard my story and then decided to google the symbol and then showed it to me. He said it was very common in Brazil but has never seen it here. In total I have run into St Benedict three times and the Benedictine and Benediction. It was strange! Because constantly hear people talking about Australia see posts about Australia even when I was looking up a Brazilian bookstore on Instagram the first one that pops up is one in Australia. lol I don’t know if reddit does SEO? Maybe it does but to have painters come up with the name Adelaide. I am on websites that sell apparel and Adelaide is very common these days apparently maybe it’s a trend? I don’t know if I am latching on because my brain is recognizing patterns…but to run into St. Benedict three times in less than a month? After texting a guy named Benedict? I mean come on! If it was eggs Benedict I would understand. Anyway I have also run into people who were in the same place that I was. For example there was a girl I met at a bar who basically watched the game off a bookstore on a bus the same day that I was there. lol the bartender at the restaurant laughed because he had never heard of so many synchronicities he believed in it too. Anyway they just keep happening…I wonder what they mean. I thought I was going crazy because I have psychosis. Is my brain just noticing these patterns because I am paying attention more? Even my mom had a dream that I got a marriage proposal that we were together and some woman handed her a note with a phone number of a guy named tymu who had been in the military. And she said he was a good person. This guy had been to Afghanistan. lol I even ran into one of the psychics that read me! lol. It is weird. I’ve been talking to my mom about this…on September 11,1988 my brother had a terrible accident when a world war 2 bomb went off. When my mom was 14 a psychic had read her palm in Albania. The person had been politically persecuted and had known to have a gift for reading. He told her that she was going to have two kids and one was going to have an accident. Two weeks before September 11th 2001 my mom couldn’t sleep at night and the first plane hit the World Trade Center on the same time that my brother lost his eye. Also I didn’t think about these things before…but I was always afraid I was going to date someone who came out of the closet. And in 2010…I went on okcupid. I met one American and two Frenchman. The American I didn’t really like. Anyway…so the day that I was going to go on a date with my ex I was in chipotle eating with my coworker and noticed a guy tilting his head. My ex had one photo on okcupid with his head tilted and basically as I was eating I was like omg that’s the guy I’m going on a date with tonight. Anyway…so not long after that…the third guy I had gone on a date with. He was French as well. And basically my friend calls me up one night and says that she was in the west village of Manhattan and was being chased when some Frenchman decided to help her and for some strange reason…I had a premonition…I asked by any chance is his name Renaud? And she said yes! It was the same Renaud! Then the Frenchman that I dated and fell in love with…I pulled him out of the closet and he became a woman. I think these synchronicities are strange.
