Have you ever felt like the universe was speaking directly to you through coincidence? Writer and philosopher J.F. Martel joins Dr. Bernard Beitman to explore how synchronicity can be more than chance, but rather an artistic conversation between mind and world. Together they dive into Jung’s idea of acausal meaning, the playful intelligence behind coincidence, and how art might reveal the deeper order of reality itself.Martel is a writer and lecturer on art, culture, and philosophy. He is the author of Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, recently reissued by Basic Books with a foreword by Donna Tartt. With musicologist Phil Ford, Martel co-hosts the popular podcast Weird Studies on SpectreVision Radio.http://www.reclaimingart.com Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/tit...

Have you ever experienced a coincidence so striking it changed the way you see life? In this solo episode, our very own psychiatrist and synchronicity researcher Dr. Bernard Beitman shares stories from his new book Life Changing Synchronicities. Through deeply personal moments, from his childhood dog mysteriously reappearing at just the right time, to precognitive flashes on the football field, to the uncanny experience of feeling his father’s death from 3,000 miles away, Bernie illustrates how synchronicity is woven into the fabric of our lives.He explains how the psychology of noticing coincidences can change the way we think, how synchronicity reveals our connection to each other and to the Earth, and how phenomena like simulpathity—feeling at a distance with loved ones—open our awareness to unseen bonds. These experiences show why synchronicity often arrives as a guide, encouraging us to open new doors in life. Dr. Beitman invites you to begin your own coincidence diary, a practice that can help reveal the hidden patterns shaping your journey.Dr. Bernard Beitman, MD, is a Yale- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist, founder of The Coincidence Project, and host of Connecting with Coincidence.

Trees are conscious beings that are able to communicate with us in surprising ways. This was not always surprising, however. They likely send out electromagnetic frequencies that our minds translate into familiar words and images.In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman and Isabella Clark explore the long history of communication between humans and trees. Together, they remind us that trees want to connect, and that rediscovering this bond can help us restore the relationship we have lost with the living world around us.Isabella Clarke is an independent researcher who has written and presented on non-human animal cultures and relationships with the more-than-human. She is particularly interested in wild Animals and Plants. Her studies embrace the factual and scientific, the theoretical and ethical, and the speculative and imaginal. She works as a broadcast journalist (covering sports) and volunteers for various conservation organizations in her home country, the UK. She is also on the Stewardship Council of The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence. https://www.coronaandthecrone.com/blog
