Cliff Cumber recently said: “wonders at the universe and the new possibilities it throws up with seemingly effortless synchronicity.”
Sounds Jungian as in Carl Gustav Jung….
Over the many years of time travel, Mr. Cumber has been greatly influenced by Jungian concepts of synchronicity.
To understand why that is, one needs to go as far back in history as 1967.
It was in that year that Mr. Cumber and Dr. Jung first met quite accidently on March 30, 1967 at a photo shoot when they both appeared together on the cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album which was later released June 1, 1967.
Mr. Cumber may be found to the right of Edgar Allen Poe. Dr. Jung appears to the left of Mr. Poe.
Of course the odd thing about their happenstance meeting was Dr. Jung had died six years earlier on June 6, 1961. Perhaps it’s a “synchronicity” thing?
It was after the photo shoot that Mr. Cumber and Dr. Jung first discussed synchronicity at great length.
The Jungian theory of synchronicity had been introduced to Mr. Cumber by Sting in December 1982 when “The Police” were recording its last alum, appropriately titled, “Synchronicity,” which was released on June 1, 1983.
Once again the apparent non-linear chronology, so essential to the theory of synchronicity is probability the explanation for why Sting and Mr. Cumber discussed synchronicity in 1982; which precipitated Mr. Cumber to explore the theory with Dr. Jung in 1967, six years after he had died.
I hope that you are still following along carefully. If you are having some difficulty, it is suggested that you speak with Bryan Sears.
Why Mr. Sears, you ask? Well Mr. Sears was with Mr. Cumber at the March 30, 1967 photo shoot for the album cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Sears is also pictured on the top row. He is the fourth person to the right of Mr. Cumber between the Vargas Girl and the actor Huntz Hall. And yes, that is Bob Dylan at the end of the row to the right of Mr. Sears.
And yes that is also Frederick New-Post reporter Meg Tully on the top row, the fifth person to the left of Mr. Cumber.
As it happens, Mr. Cumber and Ms. Tully were with the backup singers in the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” and that explains how they were invited to be on the album cover.
No one knows why Mr. Sears was there, but it has been said of Mr. Sears, he’s everywhere, he’s everywhere.
According to Paul Levy, who wrote an essay, “Catching the Bug of Synchronicity,” about Jungian synchronicity in the web publication Reality Sandwich:
“Synchronicities are those moments of "meaningful coincidence" when the boundary dissolves between the inner and the outer. At the synchronistic moment, just like a dream, our internal, subjective state appears, as if materialized in, as and through the outside world.
“Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments in time in which there is a fissure in the fabric of what we have taken for reality and there is a bleed through from a higher dimension outside of time.
“Synchronicities are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality, as they are moments in time when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and openly reveals itself to us, offering us an open doorway to lucidity.”
Now that you have this additional background, one may only be sure that the purpose of life is to discuss synchronicities and its relationship with fragmentary patchworks of autochthonous and foreign elements as juxtaposed by the undeniable command mortality of insignificant self-inflicted syntactic semiotic economics which sometimes may cause irreproducible results unless there is a pre-emptive digital fallibility matrix which would require an integrated third-generational triangulated refinement of indefinite managerial potential.
Thank you for your non-linear time. Have a nice day before yesterday and beyond. Playing the drums and chanting is optional.
