Is the universe trying to tell you something? Signs, symbols, and synchronicities are everywhere—we just need to learn how to read them! In this electrifying episode of Connecting with Coincidence, host Bernie Beitman dives into the mysteries of divination with renowned I Ching and Tarot expert Mary Kay Landon. Together, they unravel the hidden wisdom of oracles, explore the power of intuition, and reveal how these ancient tools can shape our choices, illuminate the unknown, and even challenge our deepest assumptions. Whether you’re a seasoned seeker or just dipping your toes into the mystical, this conversation will open your mind to the magic of meaningful coincidences.To do an I Ching reading, world expert Mary Kay Landon first dives deeply into your question with you. She enters into your flow. She has developed a clear relationship with the Oracle of the I Ching. The Oracle has many faces and shows her the ones fitting you at this moment. I Ching is like GPS, offering you a map for the territory of the future. Tarot is like a dream scape with many potential meanings, depending on the deck you select. The I Ching has been developed over many millennia, sharpened and tested. Do you need a map for your future?

Eminent researcher Elizabeth Davies knows that thoughts influence our physical world. Each of us is both separate and part of the collective human organism. Her research shows that the we are bioelectromagnetic fields interacting with each other through fields that carry information-energy among and between us. In the last 15 minutes she describes the activity of slime molds which like us are both individual amoebas and capable to becoming part of a greater whole. When their food dries up, pacemaker cells sent out electromagnetic pulses that direct chemicals to signal other cells: its time to gather up! They become a slug with different cells operating at the bottom as mobile movers and other cells become antennae that send out spores. Somehow, perhaps sensing fields, the slug moves to where there is more food. Upon reaching a nutrient space, the cells become single amoebae again. Some cells die. And the cycle starts over again. Does the slug have consciousness? Probably. What would be the consciousness of the collective human organism? Are you ready to find out?Elizabeth Davies has published research in bioelectromagnetics involving the effect of pulsed magnetic fields on living cells. She used a Slime Mold, as a model cell system for human cellular activity. She monitored the dynamics of cell signaling during exposure to applied electromagnetic fields, as used in orthopedics and physiotherapy. Her recent published research has involved monitoring correlations between dynamics in the geomagnetic field and oxygen production in pond plants, correlations between geomagnetic field dynamics and heart rate variability, and changes in EEG brain wave dynamics during mediumship, compared with imagination. She has written poetry since childhood, and illustrated and printed her own work.

Gary Bobroff has masterfully distilled Jungian thought into clear, accessible insights. Synchronicities, those meaningful coincidences, serve as powerful motivators, guiding us to align with the Tao—the ever-present flow of life. By tuning into synchronicities, we can tap into a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and the profound feeling of being recognized by a greater, interconnected consciousness.

Gary S. Bobroff is the founder of Jungian Online https://www.jungianonline.com/ and JUNG Archademy https://www.jungarchademy.com/ – featuring personal growth live video courses. He completed a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Canada and a Master’s degree in Jungian-oriented Counselling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Gary speaks and gives seminars internationally and is the author of the Jungian psychology best seller: Knowledge in a Nutshell: Carl Jung. At the heart of the psyche lies the realm of archetypes, the universal and timeless patterns that shape our inner world. These archetypes exist in dynamic pairs of opposites, such as the Warrior and the Sage. The Warrior embodies action, drive, and the will to manifest change, while the Sage represents wisdom, reflection, and deep understanding. Together, they illustrate the essential tension that fuels growth and transformation—a tension that is intrinsic to life itself.

Indeed, it is through such conflicts and contrasts that we evolve and expand.The psyche, however, is not confined to the boundaries of time and space. It is embedded in a transcendent field that connects us to something far greater. This is why we can feel the pain of a loved one across vast distances or intuitively sense what the future may hold. Synchronicities, when embraced—both in their blessings and their challenges—have the power to elevate us, offering glimpses into the interconnected web of existence and inviting us to participate more fully in the mystery of life.

Many years ago, Nick Kettles and a friend updated bibliomancy--asking a question and randomly opening a holy book to a page that provides the answer. Instead, they set their TV recorder to a random channel to record at 3AM to answer the question they had in mind. Yes! It worked! We don't need the apparent mystical like tarot or I Ching. We just need to jump outside usual time line to find meaningful coincidences. We discussed how projection is both normal and necessary and provides a way to learn about our repressed selves. That to surrender is not to give up but the opposite--to deeply commit AND to let go of any desired outcome. How does being vulnerable influence the person with whom you are speaking? When you are being authentic, you are indirectly suggesting that the listener be authentic. Some people will join you and others with reject you. Nick is a Master Certified Coach, who is known for his compassion, keen insight and fierce commitment to creative and personal transformation. Nick has been working in the field of personal and professional development for over 25 years and today works as a leadership coach, course-facilitator, training design consultant and mindfulness teacher. In his work he supports executives, leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators, navigate uncertainty and complexity, from a foundation of deep self-acceptance and authorship. Often this calls us to embrace parts of our selves which we have marginalised into the shadow, a process Nick skilfully guides with compassion and full permission.https://www.thresholdsofthesoul.com Archetypes of Awakening / @archetypesofawakening Individuation is a process not a goal. You are always unfolding. Nick consults with businesses and finds that some managers are deeply committed to recognizing that their inner life is reflected in their surroundings. The corporations have energetic fields and a subconscious. While also confronted with the bottom line pressure, some managers help their employees evolve. Surprise to those of us who project evil onto all corporations. Some are not totally evil. Nick has much to teach us! Bernard D.

Visa Virén is from Finland, where the light comes from the North. He illuminates the human ability to dissolve our identity into the vast flux field in which we are immersed and of which each of us is a part. To experience the energy-information flow in emptiness, he suggests cutting a hole in the ice, swimming, and then staring into the space between 2 stars.

Visa wants to help each of us bring together our 3 brains--mind (word based), heart (image based) and gut (impulse to move). He sees how possible it is for us to communicate without words by connecting our auric fields, our biofields. We have the opportunity to create more opportunities through Holokineticshttps://www.holokinetics.org/ to let go of our rigid self and get our energy to move through the wholeness. In the last 15 minutes of this episode, we discuss the creation of the Collective Self-Observer to help our Collective Human Organism become more self-aware. As an example, we address the Power Pyramid prevalent throughout human history--the repeated emergence of power relationships with a few on top and the many below.

Visa Virén, founder of Holokinetics, is a nature enthusiast, co-entrepreneur, and explorer of life. Over the past 15 years, he has experienced a deepening collapse of local identity, allowing new layers of perceptual reality to emerge. Through Holokinetics, the science of living form, Visa playfully shares life's paradoxes, integrating science, philosophy, and spirituality to guide collective inquiry into non-local awareness and emergent knowledge. He emphasizes the shift from rigid, individualistic perceptions to a fluid, interconnected understanding of reality, fostering collective intelligence and creative exploration.https://www.holokinetics.org#coincidence#serendipity#synchronicitiy
