Synchronicity

In every great artistic, social or philosophical movement there is an invisible thread that connects individuals who lived at the same historical moment - often in close proximity, almost as neighbors in time - and who, even without mutual contact, spoke the same language of ideas. Those are the rare moments when time, spirit and thought mature simultaneously in multiple minds giving birth to epochs that change the course of history forever.

Jung calls this phenomenon synchronicity - a phenomenon that does not arise from cause-and-effect logic, but from a meaningful coincidence of events. It is about moments when ideas, feelings or inner visions appear simultaneously in different individuals, sometimes without external connection or direct influence.

In ancient Greece, at the time of the philosophical explosion, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were active in the same time frame - thinkers who laid the foundations of ethics, metaphysics and logic, shaping the way we understand man, the world and knowledge. In the early Middle Ages, the great church fathers: St. Athanasius, Alexander of Alexandria, St. Nicholas and St. Augustine, whose teachings and works laid the foundations of faith and community on which Christianity still rests today.

Later, Europe "awakens" through the Renaissance - a spiritual and cultural revival based on the heritage of antiquity. At the same time, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael do not only shape bodies in marble or color pigments, but express the ideals of inner beauty, harmonious proportions and the divine that resides in man.

In such moments, it seems that all of humanity "remembers" something greater - the synchronicity then does not seem like a mere coincidence, but rather a call of the epoch to align with the frequency of the spirit. The highest reaches of human creativity are not, therefore, the fruit of solitary geniuses, but waves of inspiration that manifest themselves through images, tones and thought structures, connected by invisible threads that permeate timeless, mutually intertwined minds.

Indeed, rarely has the spirit of an era sounded so clearly as in the classical music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Bach, Mozart and Beethoven were de facto contemporaries, but also musical prophets - participants in a great, continuous dialogue about man's spirituality and his place between the divine and the human. That era was shaped in parallel by Kant, Leibniz and Hegel - philosophers whose thoughts left a strong stamp on the spiritual horizon of the epoch.

A similar wave is formed a little later. In the same time frame, and even in the same cities, masterpieces by Van Gogh, Renoir or Cézanne are created. They painted from the same source of restlessness: from the feeling that reality has become too narrow for what man carries inside. Their landscapes, starry skies, people and objects become a reflection of inner reality - the awakening of (sub)consciousness through color, line and light.

In all those epochs, something essential connected minds - as if consciousness found its collective expression through the lives and works of great men. Today, however, one might rightly ask: where are these great minds now? Where are modern Leonardo, Plato, Rembrandt - not as imitations, but as original sources of new worlds? And where is their mutual resonance, that miraculous coincidence that creates an invisible symphony of ideas?

The greatest "visionaries" of the modern age are not looking for meaning, but for market dominance. Instead of the world being governed by people with a spiritual vision, in dialogue with the time in which they live, the riders of the technological apocalypse from Silicon Valley take over the dominance - billionaires whose ambitions are more reminiscent of expeditions into the dystopian present and future than of building bridges that transcend borders and time.

They are not leaders of the era in the true sense of the word; they are the creators of algorithms, the architects of mass automation and hypnosis, and the capitalist prophets of a world where art and spirituality are mere tools for sale and control. Their "creativity" is not a synchronous dance of ideas, but a fragmented flow of technology, directed towards profit and control.

Today, instead of an epoch of synchronicity, we live in a time of "synchronization" - cold, impersonal, devoid of spirit and dialogue; in a world where devices are precisely matched, and people and ideas less and less.
