Yesterday I experienced a noticeable pattern that couldn't be explained away as mere coincidence. It points to something most people never stop to consider: that the "coincidences" woven through your life might not be random at all. Many people want to dismiss synchronicities, but I see them as signs of an intelligent Universe speaking to us.

Join me, Kara Goodwin, LIVE for this Soul Elevation conversation about synchronicities: what they actually are, what they might be pointing to, and why tuning in to them could fundamentally shift how you experience your spiritual awakening.

I'll share real examples from me own life (just yesterday, in fact) and introduce a completely new framework for how we understand meaningful coincidences, spiritual signs, and the hidden structure of lived experience.

We're moving past the surface-level explanation we've all heard before.

In this LIVE stream we'll explore:

✦ Why synchronicities are far more than coincidence

✦ The deeper framework behind what they actually are

✦ What the universe may be showing you through these signs

✦ What synchronicities might be trying to tell you

✦ Real examples

If you've been experiencing signs from the Universe, noticing patterns you can't explain, or feeling the pull of something bigger on your spiritual path, don't miss this one.

Welcome to Soul Elevation: Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host Kara Goodwin. I'm so happy to be here with you on Monday, June 15th, 2026. And today I wanna talk about synchronicities, and it can be tempting to talk about synchronicities and to think of them as only coincidence. But I wanna talk about why, what
the difference is between synchronicity and coincidence. And I also want to talk about the, a way to think about synchronicity that I don't often hear talked about. In fact, I never hear anybody, except for me, talking about this. Uh, but I wanna go into the framework of synchronicity and how this relates to sacred geometry,

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and I wanna give examples about synchronicities that I've experienced recently and how they show what the universe might be wanting to talk to... What the universe might be wanting to communicate to us through synchronicities. So through specific examples, and then also just more broadly, more generally, how synchronicities show us that the universe is communicating with us. So synchronicities are, if
you're brand new to synchronicities, then, uh, you know, a very broad ex- explanation of them is when you start to experience something multiple times, and they relate to other things that you're experiencing, or they relate to other areas of your life. And so it's like this repetition, whether it's a specific topic that you keep seeing. So it could be that, um, you know, you're, you ... Somebody talks

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
to you about, you know, I'm just gonna totally pull something out of the air, like fairies. Somebody's talking to you about fairies, and then you open a magazine, and it's got a massive picture of a fairy on it. And then you, you know, you, you read some article, and suddenly you ... It wasn't ... The article's not about fairies, but it suddenly starts talking about fairies. Um, months ago, I remember one that really stood out was
that, uh, Synthony- Cynthia Sue Larson had sent me a book, uh, an ele- a digital copy of a new book that she had, and in this book she talk, she tells a story about the Hopi Indians and how they were guided by a star in the night sky. And, and the way that she described it, I'd never heard of this before, but it was this Hopi tale that had survived the test of time at, that they were, um ... And it was something about the day and

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
the night. Like, it was ... They called it something during the day and something else at night, and I can't even remember. It's been so long. And I thought, "Oh, I've never heard this before." And then the, just a couple of hours later, I was watching a documentary, and the documentary was on Antarctica. So it was nothing about the Hopi tribe, the Hopi people. It was nothing about Native Americans. It was about Antarctica. And
the, at some point in this documentary, they shared the exact same Hopi legend. I mean, we call it a legend, but it, it is. They were actually led by this light in the sky, and it was the exact same thing. I'd never heard it in my whole life, and I've heard it since, but to hear it, like, within two hours of each other, that very specific Hopi tale was just, like, very, just very specific. And that would be a synchronicity. So,

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
um, when you're seeing these repeated things that show up in your life, that is what a synchronicity is. So some people might call that coincidence, and that maybe coincidence is just another word for synchronicity, but to me, synchronicity has meaning. That's what's missing with a coincidence. A coincidence is just sort of like, "Oh, this happened and then this happened.
Isn't that funny that these two thing hap- two things happened?" But not being willing to take the, the, the leap to connect the two things or not being able to see that those... The fact that those two things happened in such a short time and they are related, that there is meaning there. And when we start to see meaning in things, this is where we get the richness of the

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
human experience. We get the, the meaning and the purpose behind life. Because our purpose and our meaning, it's not just some big overarching thing that says, "This is why we're here incarnated on this planet right now." You know, we m- you may have a career that you feel gives you meaning and that is the purpose for why you're here. Or it could be that you have a family and you are
feeling that the purpose of your life right now is to lead in your family, to, uh, guide the members of your family Could be something that you're doing in the community, and you feel that your purpose is to fulfill that role within your community. And all of those things may give you meaning. They may give you a sense of purpose and meaning, but that's very broad, right? That's, like,

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
high level. But we also want to be able to derive meaning in our everyday life without having to zoom out all the time and make it some great big sweeping thing, but rather to say that your life has meaning by living your life. And synchronicities are one of those ways that we see meaning, because we see that one thing comes in, and then something else comes in that reinforces.
It's like the same theme, but you're experiencing it in a new way, and then there may be a third and fourth and fifth way that that same thing comes in. For me, when I experience synchronicities, it's often about something very specific and r- and, and I want... Um, the word that was about to come was random, because that's one way to look at it. But it's really not random

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
per se. It is so specific, and it's not something that is in, necessarily in the zeitgeist or in the collective consciousness. A lot of times these things come about when I'm looking into spiritual topics that are very specific and maybe related to, like, quantum science or, um, something of that nature that is more niche and not
something that you're just gonna turn the TV on and everybody's gonna be talking about it So the reason that, um, that these experiences carry meaning is because they can be so specific, and, um, and just the fact that they catch your attention. That might be what is... why they're being reinforced. So it may be that your higher self or

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
your divine team, you know, often those things are working in conjunction with each other, but that they are wanting to get you to pay attention to something. They're wanting to reinforce something as important to your life. So if, for example, you come across some s- some sort of course that's being offered and it draws your attention, your, you... it sparks your
interest, and then you hear somebody else talking about this course or there's something else about this course that c- that gets your attention that is another way that it happens, that can be another example of a synchronicity, and that might be a higher part of your consciousness or your divine helpers that are trying to use repetition to bring things to your attention

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
So the way that I see synchronicity and the framework of synchronicity Is through sacred geometry. So I personally am very drawn to sacred geometry. It means a lot to me. If I come across something that talks about sacred geometry, I will wanna read it. I draw sacred geometry. I, um... So that, I see a lot
of things in terms of sacred geometry, and the reason that I want to bring this up is because sacred geometry deals with patterns. Okay, so sacred geometry is, um, it shows repetition. It uses divine mathematics in terms of the golden ratio, the go- or the golden mean, um, the phi ratio. These are specific

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
geometric, um, properties that sacred geometry has that are unique. They are very specific and unique mathematically. And, you know, one way to see sacred geometry in nature, c- because it's a part of the natural world, sacred geometry, when we draw it, it's a two-dimensional flat drawing, but it's actually representing the natural
world, but through, you know, sacred... If you can see my video, there is a, there's a pa- there's an art, a piece of art behind me, and it is a two-dimensional sacred geometry, and it's flat. But it actually represents something that is three-dimensional, but we're representing it on paper in the same way that we have, uh, words and we

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
have given words to three-dimensional physical objects. So we have a word that is tree, and when I say tree, in your mind you will see what the tr- what the word tree means, which is the actual object of a tree. We have ascribed a word that has letters and it has sounds, and those are representative of something in the natural world. So when we
think about sacred geometry, we, sacred geometry, we ma- we may... Sc- sorry, I'm stumbling over my words here. We may picture something two-dimensional like what you see over my shoulder, but it's actually a flat version of something that is three-dimensional. And actually, in sacred geometry, often there are actually more dimensions than just

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
three. So there's something, for example, called a tesseract, and you can't have a tesseract in the third dimension. You can't make that in three dimensions because it's a fourth-dimensional image. Like, it's actually a fourth-dimensional shape. It's not a three-dimensional shape. But you can draw it. You can, you can create a two-dimensional representation, but it is a fourth-dimens- it's a four-dimensional
shape. But you can have something like this nautilus shell that I'm holding, if you're watching the video, and this shows you the phi ratio or the Fibonacci sequence. And without getting too deep into the mathematics, you can see that it's, like, very tight at the top, and it gets a little bit bigger. But then it starts to get exponentially bigger, and exponentially bigger. So like, when you look at it,

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
this section here is much smaller than the next section, whereas at the top, these sections are more closely together, and that's just, it's the golden ratio. It's just a way to view that math that is in there. But anyway, you're seeing this repeated pattern. It's the same pattern, but it's just in different... It's in the same ratio, but it's in different sizes, right? And
the, the ratio of the sizes is a repeating pattern. And it, so it's very pleasing to the eye. And you have this nautilus shell, but you see the same ratios in, like, a hurricane pattern, when you see that spiral, or a spiraling galaxy. The images that we get from space where we can see the spiraling galaxy, it's the same ratio where it gets tighter and tighter and tighter,

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
closer and closer together, um, as you get more in the center. And the further out you go, the more expanded it gets. But it's in the same ratio. It's just, we, this, the phi ratio that, that, uh, is sacred, it's all throughout our body. So our forearm, the ratio of our forearm to the complete length of our arm is the phi ratio. The ratio of our, um, you know, our,
our heel to, or our ankle to our hip versus the full length of our body, that's the phi ratio. So anyway- When we... All of that is sacred geometry. So whether you just ex- understand it as something two-dimensional that is drawn, there is also the physical representation of it all throughout nature. The way that a flower grows and the petals on a flower before it

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
starts, before you get to the actual bud, the, the... Sorry, the leaves. The way that the leaves organize themselves, that's in the Fibonacci sequence. And until it gets to the bud, that's another example. The petals on a flower will always be Fibonacci numbers. But we also have, beyond the physical expression that we see in nature, we have
our lived experience, and that's not so tangible. It's what we experience as we move through our life. And when we experience synchronicity, we are experiencing patterns. And so patterns are sacred geometry. Just like everything that grows in nature has a pattern, your human body, your iris, all the parts of your body, a flower, a tree, weather

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
patterns, all of that has a pattern that has been decoded, and it is expressed, and it is sacred. And so when we experience synchronicity, we are, we are experiencing the divine. We are experiencing a sacred pattern that is showing up as
experience, as lived experience. And so when you see these synchronicities, it is one thing that is being repeated in your life And so you are, your life is sacred geometry. Your life is sacred. And synchronicity is helping to show you

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
that divinity through the repetition, through the pattern. So I wanna give you an example of how I experienced synchronicity just yesterday, which I always think sync- synchronicities are so fun. But I just had an, a podcast episode that went out on Thursday with Sean McNamara. And if you haven't listened to this, you're gonna love this. It, it... He's so great. I love Sean. He-
he's really amazing. He's so fascinating. He's full of insights. He's, he's done a lot of, um, work in helping people to connect with their own psychic and telepathic skills, and he's written a lot of books on remote viewing and telepathy and mind sight in terms of being able to see without your, the use of your eyes. So it's a really interesting conversation where we talk about

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
telepathy, we talk about psychic development, we talk about ETs, um, and how that relates to telepathy But it was interesting because through Sean's work, and also through a workshop that I did in Sedona about mindsight, I was inspired to create a very casual small group of friends where we're gonna be getting together throughout the summer and working on our telepathy. And so we
started last week, and we actually happened to have our first, um, meeting, our first time where we met up, on the same day that Sean's episode got released, and that was an accident, quote-unquote accident. Like, I didn't intend, like, oh, I'm gonna s- have this group meet on a Thursday, and oh, let's have Sean's episode be released the same time to reinforce it. It wasn't like that. I

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
had to... I was very, like, ch- much trying to create the date so that it worked for everybody, so I was canvassing the group to say who's g- uh, where do we have the most availability, and the most availability was on Thursday afternoons. And I... And Sean's was just the next in the queue. So I release my new guest episodes on Thursdays, and he was next up. And so it just happened that the inaugural meeting for my telepathy group was
the same day that Sean's episode got released. Well, I had, like I said, I did a workshop with Sean a few months ago, and I wanted to re-watch the workshop, um, to support what I wanted to share with this group to make sure that we had... Like, I was giving them the, the tips that would help them go further and that there wasn't anything I was forgetting that would be valuable for us moving forward. And so yesterday afternoon, I finally

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
got a chance to watch, re-watch the workshop with Sean. And so as I'm watching the workshop with Sean, I see an email come through, and guess who the email is from? I get an email from Sean himself as I'm watching the workshop with Sean, and that workshop was two and a half months ago. So, and I'd been wanting to watch it for a couple of weeks, and that was the, the opportunity
that I had, and he just so happened to email me right when I was watching it. And so that was like, wow, I'm watching Sean and I'm getting an email from Sean. Well, then I, um, I had forgotten, but during part of the workshop, one of the friends that I took the workshop with, she drew this car, because what the whole exercise was that we were trying to pick up on these targets. And

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
so when she picked up on it, she cr- she drew this car, like a very rudimentary sketch of a car. And Sean said in the workshop, "Oh, that looks like a VW Bug." And she said, "Yeah, I was seeing a VW Bug, and so that's what I was trying to draw." And so then a couple of... Like, a li- a little while later, somebody else in the group drew a very similar car. And when Sean saw it, he said, "Oh, that looks a lot like the
car we saw earlier." And so they were both holding it up, and they looked very identical. And so we're... So that was interesting because that got reinforced. You know, there's another like, "Oh, okay, well, we've already seen this car, and it was this." And so the car was basically, it was like, oh, the car is in this collective field that we're tapping into. So I am... Later, so I, I finish watching it, and then I

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
decide to take my dog for a walk. And as I'm walking my dog, I'm thinking, "Oh, I should message my friend who I took that workshop with," just to tell her about, you know, that, that I wanted... There were a few things I wanted to share with her, but... And I see a, a blue VW Bug, like a, the Beetle, right? They call it a VW Beetle. And it drives right past me. And I never, I, I never see VW Beetles anymore.
And so it really caught my attention that I rarely see this car, and I had just, we'd just been talking about it. I'd just been thinking about leaving my friend a message, who was the one who drew the, the Beetle. Um- And so I get my phone to leave her a voice message while I'm ... 'Cause I'm like, "Oh, I'll... Okay. Well, I'm just gonna go ahead and send her a message," because now I see this Beetle, this VW

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
go by, and I was already thinking of leaving her a message. So I start to leave her a message, and I look at my phone, and I have another text from a different friend, and the text starts with, "I just finished your podcast with Sean," and Sean McNamara, about telepathy. And I couldn't even see what the rest of the message was, 'cause it was just the little preview on my home spreen- on my home screen. But I was like, "Oh my gosh."
So I had the workshop that I was... the recording that I was watching that was like, I hadn't watched in two and a half months, just so happened to watch it, get an email from Sean as I'm watching it. I have the synchronicity during the, the recording where the cars, the two cars, the VW cars were, uh, drawn, o- one, and then a few minutes later a different one during a different exercise from a different person. And during the

24
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
filming, Sean correlates the two of those, and we look and kind of see how similar they are. Then as I'm walking my dog, I'm thinking I want to email or send a, a text to my friend because she was on my mind having watched that recording, and I wanted to reach out to her. Then I see the VW Bug drive past me, that I never see
that car, and it drives right past me to reinforce, okay, well, she just drew a VW in that recording, so yes, send her this message. I get out my phone to send her a message, and I see another text from a different friend who is talking about the Sean McNamara episode. So that was a lot of all one thing, one theme showing up

25
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:08,000
over and over again in different ways, but all held together with one commonality. And so that's an example of synchronicity, and you can see this repetition and this pattern and how it's like my whole life was in motion, but it was all moving around one
thing. And so The million dollar question, what does it mean, right? What does it mean? And it can mean different things at different times to different people. It may mean simply that you are loved, you are seen, you are an important part of creation,

26
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,000
you are part of an intelligent design And that there is magic and mystery in this realm for you. So it can mean that there is joy and meaning just in being alive, just in the experience of being you. So it might, that might be all there is, or that might be
all that we receive from it. There may not be like a, quote-unquote, "deeper purpose" to it. And there may be times and circumstances where something is really wanting to be reinforced, and maybe you either have recognized the pattern but you're not taking

27
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:08,000
the next step that you're being asked to take, or you're, um, you know, kind of maybe not being reassured. You know, you're not taking the reassurance to say like, "Well, maybe that was a coincidence." You know, maybe you're resistant to it, and it's really trying to get your attention so that you will take that next step. So it could be something more like
assertive, trying to get you, to invite you to move in a certain direction. Because the thing is, is that you have free will. So everything that you experience, everything that is coming in, that when the divine is trying to talk to you, it's always gonna be an invitation. You're never gonna be forced to do anything. But you may get some whispers at first, and then

28
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:08,000
the signals might go in stronger if it's something that you, your team, your higher self, your higher consciousness, God, whoever, that really is trying to make sure that you understand that you have this invitation for something, or there is some action that would be really, really good for you to take, or really, really good for you to be aware of, or something that, you know, you're moving
in a direction that is not in your highest good, so pay attention. It might just, it might be an alert or a warning. Um, but I always see it as communication to, from the universe. But it's, it's always gonna be unique in terms of what that communication is, and it's up to you to be thoughtful, to be sensitive, and curious to be able to, uh, find out what that is for you at any given time.

29
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:08,000
So thank you so much. I, I highly encourage you to go and listen to that episode with Sean McNamara. I thought it was amazing, super fun. He's such a great guy. If you do wanna get more into telepathy and remote viewing, look into his offerings. I know he's having something in September live in Colorado that I'm still thinking about maybe joining, 'cause it sounds so fun. Um, but do check that episode out. I'll try to remember to put a
