Fibonacci Lifechart

Fractals are everywhere in nature, particularly at the interfaces where matter or energy must be transferred, since they maximize surface area while minimizing energy losses. Temporal fractals have been well studied at micro scales in human biology, but have received comparatively little attention at broader macro scales. In this paper, we describe...

Recent years have seen an increased interest in journal articles and books on the topic of synchronicity. Such scholarly interest is consistent with increased cultural attention given to synchronicity and changes to the social context in which spirituality thrives as a personal search for meaning, which may or may not relate to religion. Based on a...

In recent work in cognitive science, it has been proposed that synchronicity is a self-organizing dynamic in the evolution of nonlinear neural systems. However, capturing the real-time dynamics of synchronicity has been a formidable challenge. This paper provides an overview of a recent model that applies a joint dynamical-statistical approach to p...

Fibonacci time patterns may predict future synchronicity experiences (SEs) by forecasting nonlinear dynamical interactions. This study examined if there were differences between observed distributions of SEs matching Fibonacci time patterns compared to expected distributions based on chance. An online survey link was e-mailed to a random sample of...

The purpose of this study was to model the relationship between celestial mechanical cycles and the Fibonacci numbers. Data were collected on known celestial mechanical cycles including the period of rotation, precession, and orbit. The data were then compared to two time scaling methods for the Fibonacci numbers based on 24-hour and 365-day units...

This article aims to provide a brief overview of the relevance of new findings about the Fibonacci Life Chart Method (FLCM) for understanding synchronicity. The FLCM is reviewed first, including an exposition of the golden section model, and elaboration of a new harmonic model. The two models are then compared to illuminate several strengths and we...

The Fibonacci Life Chart Method (FLCM) provides a framework linking development and spirituality. This study addressed the need for empirical research to test the hypotheses proposed by Sacco (Sacco, 2016). To address this problem, this study used case reports (N = 196) from the Alister Hardy Religious Experience Research Centre. The dynamical aspe...

Reviews the book, Connecting With Coincidence: The New Science for Using Synchronicity and Serendipity in Your Life by Bernard Beitman. Synchronicity is the complex and incompletely understood process by which mind and environment become temporarily connected. The book begins by reviewing the various ways people experience synchronicity in all aspe...

Since the scientific method requires events to be subject to controlled examination it would seem that synchronicities are not scientifically investigable. Jung speculated that because these incredible events are like the random sparks of a firefly they cannot be pinned down. However, doubting Jung's doubts, the author provides a possible method of...

The purpose of this study is to describe the use of Fibonacci numbers to model Erikson's eight developmental stages and to formulate practical clinical implications. Using a new method, called the Fibonacci Life-Chart Method (FLCM), all prospective dates based on the Fibonacci sequence between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2100 were identified....

This paper presents a literature review to determine whether precipitating causes of depersonalization (DP) andderealization (DR) correspond to the circumplex model of emotion defined by the dimensions of valence andarousal. DP/DR precipitators are reviewed and classified in relation to the four quadrants of the circumplexmodel of emotion. The find...
