Is it all connected?

I have noticed in my own life a correlation between two different things which don't seem to be connected but actually seem to be connected. If that makes any sense. I have noticed a direct connection between my mental states and the occurrences of my life. Whenever I embrace certain internal realities my life seems to be much easier from a troubles stand point. However, when I try to live according to certain other mindsets I seem to be beset constantly by troubles. No matter how much I try to pretend that there isn't any power which directs I cannot blindly pretend that the exact opposite doesn't occur.

My favorite psychologist Carl Jung had this idea that connected things which didn't seem to be connected together.

The idea of synchronicity is that the conceptual relationship of minds, defined as the relationship between ideas, is intricately structured in its own logical way and gives rise to relationships that are not causal in nature. These relationships can manifest themselves as simultaneous occurrences that are meaningfully related.

If perhaps, as some followers of quantum theory believe, our state of mind interacts directly with reality then what else should one expect. I am not saying that I believe in the concept of that force of direction that many people ascribe to but I can't say that it does not exist for sure in some fashion.

For a long time I have considered myself an atheist but can you actually make that absolute claim. I used to think you could but I have found myself question that dogmatic attitude. Perhaps I have to accept that the only truly logical way to be is agnostic?

Perhaps I also have to accept that I should be more embracing of my inner self and stop trying to be what other people seem to think I need to be?
