Soul Travel Magazine interviews Joe McMoneagle, one of the original Stargate remote viewers for the military. Joe has by now demonstrated remote viewing about 150 times on live TV worldwide because he likes to convince people about psychic functioning.
Howcast's video teaches the basics of how to lucid dream-that is, to be aware during your dreams that you are, indeed, dreaming-will allow you to live out fantasies, stop nightmares, and even road test some solutions to real life problems.
Alan Steinfeld learns remote viewing with Russell Targ, one of the co-founders of this amazing science of the mind. Remote viewing is the ability to project our consciousness beyond the limits of our 5 senses and bring back information and images otherwise unavaible.

Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi asks, "What makes a life worth living?" Noting that money cannot make us happy, he looks to those who find pleasure and lasting satisfaction in activities that bring about a state of "flow."
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives. A leading researcher in positive psychology, he has devoted his life to studying what makes people truly happy: "When we are involved in [creativity], we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life." He is the architect of the notion of "flow" -- the creative moment when a person is completely involved in an activity for its own sake.
Csikszentmihalyi teaches psychology and management at Claremont Graduate University, focusing on human strengths such as optimism, motivation and responsibility. He's the director the the Quality of Life Research Center there. He has written numerous books and papers about the search for joy and fulfillment.

What is synchronicity? Synchronicity is one of Spirit’s ways of communicating with us.
Carl G. Jung defined synchronicity as “a meaningful coincidence.” The Swiss psychologist suggested, “Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective world.”(1) Synchronicity is an experience of two or more occurrences that are logically meaningful to the person when it happens to them and may even seem a bit mysterious or unexplainable. It differs from coincidence which can suggest a fluke or happenstance. Synchronicity is an underlying pattern that can provide meaningful information to us.
Events that occur independently from each other are acausal events. In other words, one event does not cause the other. However, while acausal events may not cause each other, they have a common cause – our intention. It is our intention that brings the events to life. It is our intention that attracts synchronicity. As inspirational speaker and author, Wayne Dyer says, “Our intention creates our reality.”
Our intent draws all to us! Our intentions thread the fabric of our life; intention attracts the patches which comprise our quilts. According to Deepak Chopra in The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, coincidences (synchronicities) are created by intention, and “Intent is the mechanics through which spirit transforms itself into material reality.”
Whenever we set an intention with conviction and passion and feed it with energy and fervor, the Universe will give us clues to what we need through signs, such as synchronistic events so we can fulfill our intention.
Several years ago I went to a conference and I was dwelling on whether or not to accept a publishing contract for my first book, Façades with a publisher under the imprint of Alice Street Editions. During a 45 minute session, the name Alice showed up three times. To me, this was a message, a sign from Spirit. It was the Universe’s way of giving me a thumbs-up to take the Alice Street Editions contract. I did.
The Universe talks to us through synchronicities all the time! It is constantly giving us the answers to our questions. You may be wondering why you haven’t seen these synchronicities. Or perhaps, you’ve experienced them occasionally, but not all the time! Did you know the more attention you give to looking for these signs, the more they will show up in your life? Maybe you haven’t looked for these synchronicities before, if not try it! Consider that synchronicities are meaningful events, and refer to them as coinciding events, not coincidences.
Perhaps you haven’t experienced these synchronicities because you’re stressed. Anxiety will obstruct you from noticing synchronicity in your life. Is it possible that you’ve been overwhelmed by lower energy emotions such as anger, resentment, hatred, fear, judgment and so on? If this is the case know that the answer is to turn inward.
What is synchronicity? Synchronicity is God’s way of talking to us. It’s Spirit’s way of guiding us.
There are three indicators I routinely use to help determine if something is coincidental or synchronistic. They are:
Meaningful. If a pattern or repetitive occurrence is meaningful to you, then chances are its synchronistic. The Universe may be hinting at an intention you have previously set.
Defies Probability. If the repetitive occurrence seems to defy probability, or normal frequency of expectations, then chances are the occurrence is synchronistic. I also find the more improbable the event, the more significant the meaning. If the repetitive occurrence does not defy probability and it is therefore probable, I would consider it a coincidence.
Sometimes, synchronistic events can simply reveal we’re right where we’re supposed to be in our lives. I believe the following story, “The Bible” illustrates this nicely:
The Bible
Terry was attending a spirituality course and a bible was a required text for the class. She brought to the class her prized St. James version which was a gift from her grandmother who had been born in 1893. This was a cherished gift she received when she was five or six.
Each week in the class, the students would mix among the other students, and study different passages from the bible. During one week, Terry was working in a small group and sat beside Michelle. She noticed that Michelle had a similar bible to her own, though Michelle’s bible was in much better shape. The jacket of Terry’s book was long gone and now replaced with cardboard, its spine now broken and there were even pages missing.
Terry said to Michelle, “Gosh that looks just like mine (her bible)!”
“Oh, I got it as a child!” Michelle said.
“That’s really cool because that’s what mine used to look like.” She patted the now cardboard jacket.
Terry opened the front part of her bible and printed inside it said, “Presented to: Terry, by Grandma on December 25, 1960.”
Michelle opened her book to the same page revealing, “Presented to Michelle, by Mother, on December 25, 1960.”
In that moment, Michelle and Terry couldn’t fathom the coincidence that the two had the same bible gifted to them by a cherished family member on the same date, nearly fifty years earlier. It seemed improbable. The two women stood, eyes welling with tears, perhaps remembering their loved ones as they fell into each other’s arms.
Later, Terry shared with me that the synchronicity of the event indicated to her she was in the right place at that moment in her life.
Gut or Intuition. The third thing which reveals whether or not an event is a coincidence or synchronistic, is to pay attention to your gut feelings or your intuition. When we are attempting to determine if a synchronistic event is meaningful, or if it defies probability, we may be using analytical reasoning or left-brain processing. Whereas, if we tune into our gut feelings or our intuition to determine if a synchronistic event is meaningful, we are tapping the right brain process or the divine feminine.
When a coinciding event comes up in your life, turn inward and ask your higher self if it is meaningful. Pay attention to those gut feelings, your inner voice, and your intuition.
When synchronistic events pop up in your life, know that it is one of Spirit’s ways to get your attention and give you answers. Go within and listen to Spirit.
Namaste.
