Bio Dr. Kirby Surprise
Dr. Surprise received his Doctorate in psychology in 2007 from the institute for Integral Studies in San Francisco, his masters in psychodynamic and transpersonal psychology from John F. Kennedy University in 1988. Dr. Surprise received his license as a psychologist in 2009, and currently works in an advanced outpatient program for the state of California. The inspiration for his current writing comes from his lifelong experiences with synchronistic events and interests in psychology, metaphysics, philosophy, history and science.

Synopsis
Oh boy. This one’s a brain twister.

We’ve got a scientist explaining spirituality. Or rather, a psychotherapist explaining quantum physics.

Synchronicity: The mind does a back flip when it happens, that tear in the veil. Something in your environment has just sent you a very strong, very personal message. “Who’s hearing my thoughts?” You wonder. “Who’s communicating with me?” You’ve just experienced intelligence in the ether, and things will never be the same.

But Dr. Kirby Surprise says we are creating these experiences. He says we affect change in our environment by paying attention to it – that this fact is now accepted science.

So, okay. Let’s say you’re driving down the road and mentally ask the universe, “Stop and get gas, or wait until later?” Then as you’re watching the trees go by a sign pops up on the side of the road. It says, “Gas up now. Straight ahead.” Well, that’s a clear answer to your question and you’ve just had a synchronistic experience. Right?

Yes, and no, Surprise seems to say. Apparently we use our intelligence to project the answer we want.

But he also says there’s a seamless mesh of our minds and the environment; that separation is an illusion. “Synchronistic experiences are tiny versions of enlightenment. They allow us to understand that there is no separation of us and the universe.”

Synchronicity occurs when our conscious minds are in communication with our unconscious minds, and receive an answer, he’s saying. By observing our environment with the question in mind, we engender a response in 3-D.

Surprise says stimulants like coffee help us experience more and stronger synchronicities, and that depressants such as alcohol suppress them. He says we can generate synchronicities at will, and tells us how.

Enlightening discussion, although it’s a bummer to find out that the information coming through is “only as intelligent as the person perceiving it.”

Mel says the doctor’s book is outstanding.

February 6, 2012–Psychologist Dr. Kirby Surprise talked about the connections between synchronistic events, and psychology and metaphysics. Synchronicity is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe when external events and the internal events of a person's mind seem to coincide perfectly. Human beings filter the environment for patterns of things we want to find, "so to some degree synchronistic events happen when you're thinking about something and your brain matches one of those patterns in the environment," he noted. Sometimes though, there are outrageous coincidences when events seem to be talking directly to us, such as when a TV announcer will say something relevant to what a person was just thinking or talking about. These occasions are a little harder to explain, he said.

By studying the history of the phenomenon, and the way the mind works, Dr. Surprise concluded "we're actually seeing a mirror of some of our own processes in the environment-- we actually are influencing the patterns of events around us." When you realize your unconscious involvement in the creation of events, "you have a tremendous opportunity...to talk to the environment and have it talk back to you. And what you're doing is talking to deeper levels of yourself," he suggested.
