On 22 Janurary 1961 I had lunch with Hermann Hesse at his home in
Montagnola, in the Italian section of Switzerland. Snowflakes fluttering
by the window, but in the distance, the sky was bright and clear. As I
turned away from the view, I caught the clear blue eyes of Hesse
sitting at the far end of the table."What luck," I said, "to find myself
lunching with you today.""Nothing ever happens by chance" he answered,
"Here, only the right guests meet. This is the Hermetic Circle."

During Viking
times King Canute, a Danish ruler of England, was worshipped and
flattered by his subjects. They thought he possessed supernatural powers
which could keep them safe and happy. Being a wise monarch, Canute
looked for a dramatic way to teach his subjects about Higher Power.
While visiting a seashore at Southhampton one day he ordered a chair to
be brought to him. When the puzzled attendants obeyed, the King
commanded, "Set the chair in the sand, in the part of the incoming
tide." As they did so, Canute sat down in the chair and asked "Now, do
you think the tide will obey me if I command it to stop? We shall see."
Canute commanded the tide to hault. It crept closer. He shouted the
order once more. The tide advanced to splash around his ankles. The King
continued his demands; the sea continued to splash against him with
increasing force. Finally an impudent wave
broke over the entire
royal party, causing everyone to retreat, dripping wet. "Now you see,"
King Canute merrily called out "that the highest of human persuasion is
as nothing when compared with Natural Laws. Do not seek to control
Universal Truth, but ally yourself with it."
A little
consideration of what takes place around us every day would clearly
demonstrate that a higher law than that of our personal will regulates
events. It is only when we open ourselves to the unseen forces which
beckon to guide us that we free
ourselves from the false ego-self and penetrate the inner strength of real being in the physical and noncorporal realms.
Human thought races around the physical world jungle in which we live,
in a frantic effort to find a way out. Our higher spirit self stands
quietly on the hilltop overlooking the jungle, from which it clearly
sees the way out. The human mind can begin the quest, but it cannot make
the actual discovery of reality. Like the great Viking ships of old,
our minds are fully capable of charting a course and raising the sail in
order to begin the voyage, but having done that, it can only rest and
let the winds of reality carry it to port. It is the wise man who learns
how to listen. As Pythagoras would state to all his new students "Learn
to be silent. Let your quite mind listen and absorb."
The
Swiss psychologist Carl Jung was the first modern thinker to define the
term "synchronicity" as a word to describe the perception of meaningful
coincidence. Most often we do not see the pattern of synchronicity as it
weaves throughout our lives. There are many various ways in which
synchronicity makes itself known to us. We may be thinking of an
individual whom we have not seen in a long time, only to surprisingly
connect with them a short time later. At a bookstore we may find
ourselves unconsciously directed to a precise volume that is highly
essential to our personal life at that moment. A stranger may, for some
unknown reason, frequently cross in our life in a way that is beyond
what we would expect by pure chance. Casual messengers surround us
constantly but we must learn how to acknowledge these signs and
interpret them.
This seemingly imperceptible and somewhat
telepathic ability can be fine tuned within the minds of most people who
have the presence of mind to seperate the inner-self from the
exterior-self. Like a guardian spirit, the messages attempt to convey to
us that our lives are about to shift in some new direction.
When Abraham Lincoln was young he lived in a small farming community in
Illinois. At that time Lincoln felt that his destiny demanded more than
the life of a local
craftsman or farmer, like the residents around
him. One day he encountered a peddler who had obviously fallen on hard
times, and who asked Lincoln to buy an old barrel of goods, mostly
worthless, for a cost of one dollar. Lincoln decided to give the peddler
the money and he cleaned out the barrel. What Lincoln happened to find
at the bottom of the barrel of miscellaneous items to his delight was a
full set of lawbooks. This
seemingly random unintended purchace
caused him to focus his studies to eventually become a lawyer, and
ultimately find and attain his well-known place in history. We do
ourselves much service when we leave the doors open to initiation and to
not discount the many casual signals that beckon to us.
It was
Jung's belief that archetypes manifested themselves, at least
occasionally, in physical events and in states of mind at the same time,
also, under the law of synchronicity. Jung refers to the case of
Swedenborg, who experienced a vision of fire in Stockholm at the same
time as an actual fire was raging. Jung considered that that some change
in Swedenborg's state of mind gave him temporary access to "absolute
knowledge" to an area in which the limits of space and time are
transcended.
We contact the higher powers only as we loosen our
attachments to them. Most people's waking hours are cosumed with
useless mundane efforts. It is a tendency to place many unnecessary
needs and demands upon ourselves based upon our ego-directed drives.
These areas of negative influence all interfere with the natural flow of
the real gift. One must be aware of a negativity before it can be
destroyed. Some of our negatives are unknown to us and it may require a
synchronistic shock or crisis to reveal them.
All the triumphs
and failures that can be experienced by man in this physical world are
valuable lessons for our developing spirits, which are characterized and
expressed by the folk-god archetypes and legends found within our
indigenous mythological lore.
Synchronistic phenomena among
the Aryan race occur not uncommonly when a constellation of active
psyches converge to the foreground of an ethnic archetype such as Wotan,
or other formidable patriarchal or matriarchal gods and goddesses.
These powerful, influential and usually emotional energies are able to
move the unconscious, and with it the archetype, into the foreground of
the conscious. The microcosm of our interior psyche by way of the
archetype reflects itself on the screen of the macrocosm of sense
perception. Inner eternity and outer eternity meet in man, and thus we
come to realize that our bodies serve as virtual portals between two
very real and highly profound worlds.
Jung maintained that an
ethnic god and archetype, such as Wotan, is not purely psychic---the
stuff of dreams, but rather psycho physical---only partly psychic. By
this theory the archetype is capable of manifesting in a dual fashion,
appearing internally as
a psychic image, and externally as a physical event, at times even as a physical object.
In Stephen A. Hoeller's book "The Gnostic Jung", he writes, "The
archetype then, when manifesting in a synchronistic phenomenon, is truly
awesome if not outright miraculous---an uncanny dweller on the
threshold. At once psychical and physical, it might be likened to the
two-faced Roman god Janus. The two faces of the archetype are joined in
the common head of meaning, which is the chief characteristic of human
individuation."
The deeper we probe into gnostic mysteries we
find that the union of man and archetype, as well as life and spirit,
are not just a casual relationship but an essential element to free us
from false ego and the confines of a lower conscious physical world.
God-like image and essence are not made, they become. The ethnic god
Wotan has co-existed with Aryan man since the dawn of time through a
wide range of patriarchal images. The popularized Viking
characterization is but one of the many masks of Wotan. Today, the
presence of such manifesting divinities might surface through some form
of modern dress as apparition entity of a mystic configuration. Our
ethnic divinities are never static, congealed in divine perfection, but
not unlike man, are also growing, learning intelligences of many degrees
much higher yet similar to our own.
Synchronicity is a means
by which our gods and ancestors can reach out to us and through us and
in turn provides us with available pathways to higher being and
consciousness. Man is the individualization of all functions, affinities
and powers of the universe, and consciousness is the measure of
individualization rendering actual that which is virtual in the cosmic
memory.
"From any point, A line reaches back, And attaches to a
far distant center. There is no unconnected life in this world, Nor a
point in time, Unknown by any other point, Nor a tear shed in a vacuum."
