Why does the moon always show the same face to us?
In my latest podcast, astrologer-musician John Townley explains the three steps of understanding resonance: attraction, imitation, and persistence. These three steps describe much of what happens in our world and universe, including meaningful coincidences.
Here’s one of my own coincidence stories to get us started:
A guy named Phoenix owed me a favor. I needed a blood stone because my spirit guide had suggested it. Several people and stores did not know what I was talking about. One Saturday, I walked the three miles to our downtown mall, writing down coincidences in my 49-day “write odd occurrences” notebook. A block from the mall, as I was waiting for the light to change, I looked over to see Phoenix also about to cross. “Dr Coincidence!” he exclaimed. He suggested we go to a bar. I declined. He said, “How about a rock shop?” They had a blood stone. Phoenix had returned the favor.
John Townley was born on the same day as Paul Kammerer, the Austrian botanist who developed a basic science view of meaningful coincidences (seriality) that influenced Jung's ideas of synchronicity and offers clear ideas about how the future is now and attracts us to it.
John is a writer, historical and folk/pop musician and record producer, maritime preservationist, and theoretical astrologer with a broad list of published books and record albums covering over sixty years. He designed the first 12-track studio (Apostolic) in New York where Frank Zappa created much of his music, was founding president of the Confederate Naval Historical Society, and is currently working on a book-to-film project about Austrian biologist Paul Kammerer and his seminal 1919 Das Gesetz der Serie, which introduced the structural concept of seriality, tapped by Jung in his speculation on synchronicity.
