I don't understand this comment, and I suspect I am missing what you really mean. Let me explain with examples: If I visit a slaughterhouse where lambs (baby animals) are being very cruelly killed (an objective observation based on the cries and terror), then would it be compassionate to be in synch with those, or the company, doing that slaughtering? If I come across a man beating a child on the street, how is objectivity demonstrated in this scenario?
Thank you for sharing your perspective and questions.
I would first start with a definition of synchronicity: Synchronicity "describes circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity)
If you visit a slaughterhouse while in a state in objectivity, non-judgment, compassion, and gratitude, you might be able to meaningfully connect (as opposed to causally connect) your current observations with other circumstances such as vegan philosophy, your current diet of lambs, or an understanding/acceptance of the service-to-self mentality (but synchronicity is always a highly personal subjective experience). However, this synchronous understanding might be lost if you are lacking objectivity, judgment, compassion, or gratitude.
For example, if you are subjectively viewing the slaughter of lambs as painless for the lambs (this is also a lack of true compassion for the lambs), you might lose out on the synchronous understanding that it is time to consider a vegan diet. If you are judging the slaughterhouse as evil and worthless, you might lose out on the synchronous understanding of the just negative consequences that will occur to those who harm or support the harm of the innocent as well as lack compassion for those who know not what they do. If you are lacking gratitude for the observation, you might lose out on the synchronous connection between this slaughterhouse being a metaphor for what sometimes occurs in own's own mental state preventing one from learning about the self due to projecting blame outside of the mind. Someone who is viewing the situation only subjectively in a judgmental manner or lacking in compassion or gratitude will struggle to benefit from the observation.
However, someone who is objective, non-judgmental, compassionate, and grateful will be able to optimize the observation of the slaughterhouse to produce the most awareness, learning, knowing, and experience about reality. This is evidenced by the number of synchronous, meaningful connections produced by the observation.
If you come across a man beating a child, you might demonstrate objectivity by understanding the truth of the cause of the man beating a child (such as him being beat as a child or that he lacks the skills to manage his anger), understanding the experience of the child experiencing the beating such as the extent of the pain and suffering, and calculating the possible, objective ways that are available to you to prevent the child from being beaten further. You might experience synchronicity such as starting a martial arts class last month so you are now empowered to help the child.
