Spontaneous Photographic Capture of Synchronistic Image Resemblances

Authors: Yusupova, Julia;

Spontaneous Photographic Capture of Synchronistic Image Resemblances

Abstract

The Jungian concept of image is pivotal to the phenomena of archetypes and synchronicity. Imagery composes the words of a non-linear language, which translates the unconscious to consciousness. However, alongside traditionally psychic images, which appear in dreams and visions, but remain largely subjective, synchronicity also encompasses so-called objective imagery, gathered not from extra-sensory, but regular sensory perception of the world and the surrounding events. Externalized imagery has been especially evident in the research of Paul Kammerer and his theory of seriality. The present research introduces a novel technique for recording and studying synchronicity and seriality through photography and narrative. The methodology of ‘spontaneous photographic capture of synchronistic image resemblances’ is described, using numerous visual examples from years of collected data. Each example presents an encounter with the same archetypal image, photographed in two or more causally unrelated settings, within a meaningfully close span of time and/or space. The archetypal connection in each example is identified via bundles of repeating basic percepta like number, colour, shape, angle, position, and pattern. The perceptual continuity from one setting to another is then explained in light of the spatialization of flowing time into the 4th dimension of space, or the expansion of consciousness into 5D reality. Relevant theories of electromagnetic consciousness and geomagnetism are also discussed using more specific photographic examples, which suggest that light and energy are central to the development of a more physical, and not just psychological theory of synchronicity. Finally, art's numinosity and link to the collective unconscious, as well as the importance of arts-based research methods to the study of synchronicity are emphasized.
