The heavy-handed pedagogic approach that attempts to fit
irrational phenomena into a preconceived rational pattern
is anathema to me.
...to provide spiritual nourishment for the unconscious elements or
forces ("spiritual agencies") that have been projected as gods -- in
other words, to give these forces the attention they need in order to
play their part in the life of the individual. Indeed, this is the
original meaning of the word religio -- a careful observation and
taking account of (from relegere) the numinous.
[This is the classical etymology. The derivation of religio from
religare, "bind to," originated with the Church Fathers.]
[Causality] is a merely statistical truth and not absolute, it is a sort of working hypothesis of how events evolve one out of another, whereas synchronicity takes the coincidence of events in space and time as meaning something more than mere chance, namely, a peculiar interdependence of objective events among themselves as well as with the subjective (psychic) states of the observer or observers.
The irrational fullness of life has taught me never to discard
anything, even when it goes against all our theories (so short-lived
at best) or otherwise admits of no immediate explanation. It is of
course disquieting, and one is not certain whether the compass is
pointing true or not; but security, certitude, and peace do not lead
to discoveries.
