the cryptic cosmology of synchromysticism
reid mukai

synchromysticism is an emerging field of study and subculture existing on the fringe of areas already considered fringe – primarily mysticism and jungian psychology. the word was coined by jake kotze in august of 2006 for an article posted on his website brave new world order, who defined it as: "the art of realizing meaningful coincidence in the seemingly mundane with mystical or esoteric significance." as kotze recalled in an email:

"i needed something to explain a way of investigating subjects with synchronicities and the word seemed to fit... my biggest inspiration for this kind of thinking and investigating came from goro adachi at etemenanki. goro calls his research multi-contextual."

the synchromysticism research jake kotze publishes on his websites include information-dense videos, artwork and articles punctuated by images illustrating various mystic/pop culture linkages. his articles and videos usually focus on esoteric symbols or memes (possibly stemming from a collective unconscious mind) reoccurring throughout a wide range of sources, especially mass media. such symbols include numbers, words, archetypes, shapes and various visual motifs or patterns such as portals and checkerboards. the total effect is a mind-blowing labyrinthine reality mash-up linked by a type of dream logic. kotze described his approach towards synchronicities in an october 20, 2006 post on brave new world order:

"my idea about the significance of meaningful coincidences in movies with mystical connotation is not that it points towards real truths, but that they point towards possible realities that might emerge from the collective psyche into consensus reality. we vie and jostle for acceptable limits of consensus reality through our art and philosophy. our ideas and concepts about reality are the very fabric of reality itself. we try to sell each other beliefs in a creative effort to allow new ‘things’ to emerge into the accepted matrix of the now. i don't fundamentally fret about what ‘is’ real; i care about checking the zeitgeists' temperature in order to project future possibilities of acceptable norms and find hidden pockets of knowledge embedded in the pattern of 'aum'."
