The Search for Super-Meaning: Symbols, Self-Inquiry, and Primordial Perfection? ⛯👀🤔

I only stumbled across the 'Mind That Ego' podcast this week, as I wrote in this recent post -

The Power of Meaningful Coincidences and The Mind That Ego Podcast? 🎤🧠

The Lighthouse:
A Synchronistic Symbol of Intimacy and Isolation

And one of the podcast episodes that caught my eye as I was scrolling through the podcast archives was a talk called, 'The Lighthouse: A Synchronistic Symbol of Intimacy and Isolation' based on a post of the podcast's host, posted on November 18th, 2022 (which just happens to be the day before my old wedding anniversary).

The Lighthouse:
A Synchronistic Symbol of Intimacy and Isolation

I found this talk personally meaningful and synchronistic as The Lighthouse is one of my favourite symbols, which I have written many posts about, such as this one -

The Lighthouse as a Synchromystic Metaphor/Archetype in 2020?

137 million views?

In the post/podcast the author/host mentions a song called, 'To Build A Home' by The Cinematic Orchestra, so I did a search om my iPad to find a You Tube of the song and found that the You Tube had 137 million views:-)

Celebrating Life and #137?

Wolfgang Pauli was a fan of #137 by all accounts and even passed away in that room number.
"137 has been the subject of psychological speculation by Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung concerning his theory of synchronicity. Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli, according to the book Jung, Pauli, and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession by Arthur I. Miller, Emeritus Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at University College London, Jung and Pauli struggled in their search for a primal number that everything in the world hinges on, as well as a desire to quantify the unconscious."

"Wolfgang Pauli had a series of significant dreams when he engaged in psychoanalysis with Carl Jung, published in the 12th volume of The Collected Works of C. G. Jung. The dreams were progressively sophisticated, and eventually described a mandalic "world clock", which might be a symbolic format describing an estimate of the inverse of fine structure constant: α^(-1) = π^1 + π^2 + 4π^3 = 137.036... . The "world-clock" was carried by a black flying bird and consist of three discs and three pulses : SMALL pulse consist of a small pointer on a blue vertical disc advancing by 1/32, representing π ; MIDDLE pulse was one completion of the vertial blue disc of 32 segments, representing π^2, which causes 1/32 advancement of a second outer horizontal disc; GREAT pulse being the complete rotation of the second horizontal disc, which contained 4 coloured sections standing 4 men holding 4 pendulums, representing 4π^3 . The completion of the second disc in the GREAT pulse will cause a full rotation of the third outer ring, which turns from black colour to golden. The function of three pulses of the World-Clock symbolically add up to 137 from π^1 + π^2 + 4π^3"

"While Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli were fascinated with the number 137, their lives had been entwined with meaningful synchronicities with this number. Carl Jung was born on the 26 July 1875 (207th day of the 75th year) and died on the 6 June 1961 (157th day of the 61th year), 207days + 75years + 157days + 61years = 136 Years & 364 Days, which is one day from 137 years. Wolfgang Pauli died, as himself expected, in room 137 of the Red-Cross hospital at Zurich. Carl Jung's Magnum Opus title "Liber Novus", also bears an English Gematria value of 137. The English Gematria values of the initials of name of Carl Gustav Jung, also hinted a value of 137 with numbers 3,7,10."

Welcome to the USA?🛫🛬

I couldn't help thinking of my recent trip to San Francisco as I was listening to this podcast episode, as the first lighthouse built on the west coast of America, I'm told, was the one on Alcatraz Island.

Alcatraz the Unescapable Island? 👮🏝🚨

The Lighthouse:
A Synchronistic Symbol of Intimacy and Isolation

There certainly is a lot to unpack with the symbols mentioned in that podcast episode and the real-life symbols I saw in San Francisco.

I might have to play that podcast episode a few more times yet?

There's No Place Like Home?🛫🏡🛬

Ironically, when I booted up my computer after listening to the lighthouse podcast on my iPad this Bing screensaver above of a fortress/watchtower in Palmi, Calabria appeared on my computer screen.

Might be a sign that I need to get out of the home more?-)
