Title

Synchronistic Black Quantum Futurism Event Mapping

Description

Another form of [Black Quantum Futurism (BQF)] event mapping is borrowed from Chinese philosophy, as explored in Maria Von Franz' essay [“Meaningful Chance Studies in Jungian Psychology”]. Von Franz describes the time consciousness in the Chinese tradition as being a synchronistic thinking, or a "thinking in fields," where the question "is not why has this come about, or what factor caused this effect, but what likes to happen together in a meaningful way in the same moment...what tends to happen together in time?" The center of the field in this concept would be a time moment around which events A,B,C,D,E, etc. are clustered.
These events form a grouping pattern around the focal point as if the focal point behaved as a magnet Which attracted certain events. Events do not have to be causally associated in the normal linear sense of cause and effect. The events express a quality of time in a now moment, with time simply being one quality of many that expresses a meaningful pattern.
For this form of event mapping, [Black Quantum Futurism (BQF)] Creatives determines the center of the field, the uniting factor and synchronicity around which certain events will be grouped. Events, here again, can be defined liberally and can include macro-level events, micro-level events, emotional/psychical events, psychological and cognitive events, and sensory experience events, to name a few. The BQF Creative becomes the active agent in the synchronicity/focal point, instead of time being the active agent defining the synchronicity.
