Introducing Synchronosophy

and how it taught me to become a writer

Seek wisdom, not knowledge.

Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.

A Vagrant Gift

A man does not make his destiny: he accepts it or denies it.

〰 Ursula K. Le Guin 〰

Synchronosophy is a new field theory for self-knowledge. It emerged and unfolded over the past 25 years by a quirk of fate.

In 1997, two years after my escape from a catastrophic relationship, becoming a refugee from my own life, and rebuilding a home from the ashes, I got the calling to become a writer. The kind of book that would be mine to write already clear in my fictional field of vision, I knew exactly what I intended to avoid. No memoir about the psychodrama of my life! *

I was going to write captivating fantasy novels ~ my role-model none other than the great Michael Ende, famous in Germany for being ‘the nation’s storyteller’ ~ envisaging my work as stories for the inner child containing some hidden ‘deeper message’. With this reckless goal in mind, I began a daily writing practice, accompanied by my deeper message ~ a wise answer to the absurd question ~ why do humans create negative experiences for themselves?

Two years into my budding writing career, I received an unexpected gift of inspiration of a genre alien to me. Instead of fulfilling the wishes of my aspiring inner author, my mind was flooded by information about a new map of Consciousness (described in Chapter 9 The Birth of the Noctarine.)

The experience was exhilarating and exhausting, daunting, intimidating, infuriating, frustrating, overwhelming, and incredibly humbling. The inspiration download lasted two weeks ~ from 6 a.m. until noon every day. For the duration of this mental download, I scribbled all information I received into my journal as fast as my fingers would allow, without any questioning or thinking.

When the episode faded out naturally, the nameless creature became my daily companion ~ much like after giving birth to an infant ~ demanding my regular attention. Curiously, although I was barely able to explain the concept, I instantly knew how to handle this creature, what to do with the overwhelming body of new knowledge entrusted to me ~ not unlike being faced with the unfamiliar task of looking after a newborn.

I embraced the Noctarine (the name came much later) with an intuitive knowing, rather than the familiar knowledge and skills acquired via academic learning or physical experimentation. Through daily practice ~ applying the information encapsulated within the Noctarine as well as writing about it ~ I gradually unpacked this gift, listening to it with undivided attention, lending it a written voice to explain itself to me.

In 2014, I self-published a book about this new model and field theory of Consciousness under the title The Solo System, followed by 8 workbooks, and a 2nd volume published on an online blog (no longer live) about the practice. The completion of the project left me burnt out and unwilling to give it any more of my thoughts, time, or energy.

As if in defiance of being written about, this creature resisted my efforts to ‘come out’ and share my project with others. Mentioning the topics ‘map of human Consciousness’ and/ or ‘good reasons for negative experience’ proved to be effective conversation stoppers.

It was a different era. This project I most cared for, and which had consumed so much of my time, was colliding with positive thinking, positive affirmations, manifesting all the positive things you might want etc. The term ‘toxic positivity’ was yet to hit the collective radar, so I avoided talking about my work.

If anyone asked the dreaded question, “and what do you do?” I’d mumble something about being a translator ~ which was not untrue ~ and swiftly changed the subject.

During my post-Solo-System-era I diverted my daily writing practice into the fantasy novels, as originally intended. I poured my creative curiosity, energies and latent talent into learning about world building, plot structure, how to compose dialogue, develop story characters, and ‘find my writer’s voice’ along the way.

The Noctarine itself, of course, continued to be my trusted companion and secret power-tool. It enabled me to welcome and process any negative subjective experience (NSE), transform it into a valuable insight or morsel of personal inner wisdom, and receive a spontaneous boost of self-empowerment every time.

I used this tool for myself and with fellow intronauts (= explorers of their own inner world), both in individual sessions and in small groups upon request. Every session gave me new insights into the discipline and practice, which felt intimately familiar to me, yet remained elusive to my attempts at explaining it in coherent ways.

In 2023, seven years and five fantasy novels later, the calling to write about this creature stirred again. This bewildering gift I’d never wished for ~ which had crashed into my life and demanded endless attention ~ claimed my focus anew, pleading to be written, like a dumped lover begging to be given another chance.

Reluctantly I agreed.

Having discarded the earlier title (which seemed no longer appropriate for various reasons) this brainchild conceived by my creative genius didn’t yet have a proper name. I spoke to it directly, addressing it as ‘Buddy’, still trying to figure out its nature, and what it wanted to become.

“Ok Buddy,” I said. “If you want to be written by me, you better help this time.”

… silence …

“I’ve already spent over one and a half decades writing about you, trying to give you a voice, a body of work, attention, space…”

Buddy knew exactly what I was talking about but didn’t bother to answer.

“… and it didn’t work…” I wailed.

… no comment…

“Why would I want to try again? What would make it different this time?”

“Make it more personal,” came the quiet inner voice.

Buddy was right, and I instantly acknowledged her point. Having kept each other in suspense for years, we came to an agreement. I promised to give her another chance, and she seemed keen to do her bit (as far as I knew).

* I want to clarify here that in my case there was a ‘real psycho’ involved in the drama, still stalking me at the time! If this hadn’t been the case, I might have written a trauma memoir instead… the last thing I wanted to do was to attract the wrong kind of attention…

I love reading trauma memoirs, I greatly admire authors who write them because I know what it takes… I also believe that such memoirs can be invaluable gifts and encouragement to fellow humans going through traumatic stretches in life.

Writing as a Symbiotic Practice

The old Adam is replaced by a symbiotic biological

event horizon with its own internal puppet theatre.

〰 Philipp Blom 〰

The name Synchronosophy emerged in response to the search for a title which is both descriptive and distinct from other disciplines or modalities. Synchronosophy is a combination of three Greek words syn = together + chronos = time + sophia = wisdom. The constellation captures the fact that by using the Noctarine map, intronauts can make use of inner events occurring unsolicited, in synchrony with adverse outer events, with the intention to gather personal inner wisdom.

Synchronosophy did help me to write this book. Every time I open my notebook, pen in hand, or sit at my desk to write, I tune in and let the ideas flow through my mind and out of my fingers. While holding a clear and focused intention ~ and fulfilling my commitment to a daily writing practice ~ I never know what sentences, sequences or choice of words are going to appear on page or screen.

For example ~ Introducing Synchronosophy ~ I hold the intention in my mind, and words show up in the act of writing, Synchronosophy continuously whispering to my creative genius, making her own unexpected suggestions. This is not a metaphor. It is the work of creation as it happens daily in my writer’s experience.

In the process of writing this book we have become a productive team. I fully trust her, listen to her, as it were with a child’s mind, free from preconceptions, never trying to manipulate her into my expectations, curious to be surprised by what she’s about to pour into my lap next. That’s my part of the job.

She believes in my writing skills, cognitive capacities, emotional sensitivity, intuitive sensibility, imaginative range of horizons, intellectual understanding, and ability to present her in a way that does justice to her gifts, her latent potential, and the message she has to convey. She trusts that I will not try to shape her into any preformed human matrix of iconic divinity.

It has taken two decades to build such trust, and I accept that any untrustworthiness must have been on my part, due to my clinging to the remains of a dying anthropocentric body of needing-to-know-the-truth.

This writing experience is a far cry from the concept I had in mind 25 years ago, when embarking on my writer’s journey with the expectation to ‘share my creative talents with the world’ by becoming the author of some yet-to-be-written-fantasy-novels.

Does this mean I have become a lowly scribe, a ‘ghostwriter’, while Synchronosophy assumes the supreme role of a phantom ‘mastermind’? No, I wouldn’t say that. While there are countless glaringly obvious differences and disparities between myself, a living human, and Synchronosophy, an emerging body of work born from an idea, I feel ~ although it does seem strange to admit this in writing ~ a remarkable ‘equality’ between us with regards to bringing this project to fruition.

In his book SUBJUGATE THE EARTH: The Beginning and End of Human Domination of Nature (original pub. 2022) German philosopher Philipp Blom writes, “The human being as a sovereign rational actor is exposed as last season’s model. The old Adam is replaced by a symbiotic biological event horizon with its own internal puppet theatre.”

I can relate. This is precisely what it feels like. I am not in command of the writing process as the ‘sovereign rational actor’, at least not in the way I may have expected. (What did I expect…?) Instead, I have opened a secret inner door to a whole ‘puppet theatre’ living inside myself.

The only niggle I have with Blom’s image is describing it as an ‘internal puppet theatre’. This would still need to be operated by me as a ‘puppet master’, still assuming a significant level of supremacy. I experience a substantial and diverse population of living inner creatures ~ even several clans of different indigenous populations ~ inhabiting distinct spheres of my inner world. I can see myself in relation to them in the role of a ‘patron’ or ‘sponsor’ but never as their ‘master’.

“Like a single tree in a forest, this organism cannot be fully described or understood as an individual, but only as a part, a nodal point in a network of events and motivations, a momentary state of the life that vibrates through all these states.” Blom continues to explain.

“None of this makes the puppet theatre, our individual experience – which is all we have as humans – less important, less fascinating or less decisive as criteria for what a good life might be, but the reversal of perspective from the perspective of natural science calls to mind Montaigne, who once asked in bewilderment how such a creature ‘who is not even master of himself […] should call himself master and emperor of the universe’.”

Synchronosophy as a Symbiocentric Field Theory

To be symbiocentric means that one is taking into account

the centrality of the process of symbiosis in all

of our deliberations on human affairs.

〰 Glenn Albrecht 〰

Synchronosophy is a symbiocentric field theory of the inner world of individual human Consciousness (IHC) rooted in and represented by the map of the Noctarine. In a nutshell, this map represents IHC as a living organism with eight vital organs (aka Faculties). The eight Faculties are: Body, Intellect, Instinct, Imagination, Intuition, Inspiration, Soul, Will.

Around the time when Synchronosophy ~ the ‘puppet master’ of my inner theatre ~ and myself agreed to give this project a fair chance, I came across the work of Australian ecophilosopher Glenn Albrecht and the innovative concepts presented on his blog and in his book Earth Emotions.

“The Symbiocene, as a period in the history of humanity on this Earth, will be characterized by human intelligence and praxis that replicate the symbiotic and mutually reinforcing life-reproducing forms and processes found in living systems.” Albrecht defines his new verbal symbiont.

Although Albrecht’s work focuses mainly on external human interaction with the natural world, calling for the replication of symbiotic processes, it should go without saying that the same symbiotic principles and processes also need to be applied to the interactions within the inner world, including the relationship with oneself.

The concept of the Symbiocene has been an eye opener and game changer for my work. I instinctively knew the significance of this ‘symbiotic intelligence and praxis’. I realised how much the anthropocentric language and tacit anthropocentric thinking had hindered my previous attempts at describing my work.

In earlier attempts to describe this symbiocentric model of IHC and field theory of self knowledge, I’d been trying to communicate in a foreign language, inspite of the words, grammar, and sentence structures being familiar in common English.

The symbiocentric interactions at all levels of everyday life exposed the obstructive and destructive anthropocentric thinking and made it easy to discard the ‘last season’s model of the human being as a sovereign rational actor’.

This time, instead of launching straight into the writing of Synchronosophy, I started with a substack publication called Symbiopædia ~ a glossary of words for the Symbiocene.

Developing my symbiocentric vocabulary enabled me to cultivate my symbiocentric thinking, which in turn nurtures Synchronosophy, which turns out to be symbiocentric by nature. Trying to write Synchronosophy without this crucial understanding was bound to fail.

Symbiocentric thinking is not only critically important for me as the writer of this book. It is also critically important for you as the reader. If you approach Synchronosophy and the Noctarine with the ‘outdated puppet-master-mindset’, you will not understand it in the way it was conceived. You would be quite literally reading a different book from the one we ~ Synchronosophy and myself ~ have written.

Shifting from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene

There is in all things a hidden wholeness.

〰 Thomas Merton 〰

What exactly are the differences between anthropocentric and symbiocentric thinking? you may wonder.

Here are seven fundamental distinctive features:

1 ~ hierarchy versus heterarchy

2 ~ linear versus lateral thinking

3 ~ causal versus co-incidental thinking

4 ~ dualism versus wholeness

5 ~ different definitions of IHC

6 ~ interpretation of symptoms and NSE

7 ~ striving for certainty versus cultivating the sense of unknowing

1 ~ Anthropocentric thinking is hierarchical by nature. In the inner world, this means for example that the Intellect is considered superior to other Faculties. Based on its hierarchical organisation, the anthropocentric mindset makes assumptions diametrically opposed to the understanding of Synchronosophy.

A symbiocentric system organises itself as a heterarchy. In reference to the Noctarine, this means all eight Faculties of IHC are considered equal in importance, value and power, while unique and diverse in functions and expressions.

2 ~ The anthropocentric mind leans heavily on linear thinking, leading to reductive thinking. Both are rooted in logical reasoning and have been applied by our thinking ancestors for millennia. Linear and reductive thinking focus on simplifying complex systems, the first by following a linear trail of causality, the latter by breaking down systems into individual components.

The symbiocentric mind thinks laterally and in analogies. Lateral thinking draws from the history of analogy thinking ~ its roots parallel to linear thinking, reaching back to ancient philosophical traditions. Lateral and analogical thinking approach complex ideas by drawing comparisons between known and unknown phenomena, or using methods from familiar disciplines to explore the unfamiliar.

While linear and reductive thinking are busy creating boxes for what they find on the grounds of what appears logical in material reality, ‘thinking outside the box’ is a challenge for the anthropocentric mindset, which attempts to rely almost exclusively on the rational functions of the Intellect.

Synchronosophy evolved through lateral and analogical thinking, making creative associations and taking mental leaps of faith to explore unknown territory. ‘Thinking outside the box’ was a non-starter and no goal, since no boxes existed in the first place. Synchronosophy has taught me that the symbiocentric mind thinks by processing information ~ e.g. ideas, images, insights, visions, feelings, etc. ~ gathered from all Faculties.

3 ~ Anthropocentric linear thinking leads to interpreting events in terms of causality. Causal exploration presupposes that problems are best resolved by finding the underlying cause and eliminating that cause. While causal thinking is useful in relation to technical or practical issues in the material world, to apply it routinely to living organisms can be counterproductive in the longterm, if not fatal.

Symbiocentric thinking is non-causal but co-incidental. In Synchronosophy we don’t ask why did this happen? But rather what happened at the same time?

4 ~ One of the fundamental concepts of the anthropocentric mind is dualism, which leads to viewing everything through the lens of good and evil. This polarity sets the whole world up for a constant battle between two irreconcilable polar opposites. Humans caught up in this battle have to continuously fight to keep evil forces at bay, while supporting the ‘good guys’ and hoping for a victory of good over evil in the end.

Symbiocentric thinking views the polar opposites as two forces of a greater whole, perpetuating the cycle of life and death. The natural tension between negative and positive forces is a quintessential feature of the living, continuously evolving universe. Both forces need to be kept in balance.

5 ~ According to anthropocentric theories, consciousness is produced by the brain, although conclusive evidence remains elusive. The theory refers mainly to human consciousness, because until recently the assumption was that ‘consciousness is a natural power which distinguishes humans from all other living creatures and sentient beings’.

In the eye of the anthropocentric mind, IHC is somehow inexplicably produced by the brain and can therefore be gained or lost (for example through anesthesia, or a coma, or sleep).

Symbiocentric theories suggest that ‘Consciousness is the source of everything’. Therefore the brain, the whole nervous system, body, mind, spirit of every sentient being are expressions of Consciounsess.

Viewed through the symbiocentric lens of Synchronosophy and the Noctarine, IHC is a living organism and cannot be lost through sleep, coma, or anesthesia.

6 ~ In anthropocentric thinking, any state of dis-ease is defined by symptoms, which are obstacles to human freedom and therefore considered undesirable, or declared as ‘superfluous’. Eradicating, or at least reducing, those symptoms is the goal of a cure and considered the best and most desirable path towards healing.

Understanding IHC as a living organism, provides the symbiocentric mind with the knowledge that all living systems are sustained and constantly renewed by innate self-healing forces. Signs of disease (= symptoms) are interpreted as efforts of the organism to heal itself by restoring its lost equilibrium.

In the field theory of Synchronosophy, this interpretation includes NSEs. Negative subjective experiences express themselves through all vital Faculties and are treated as ‘con-comitant symptoms of dis-ease’ providing valuable information about how to restore the lost equilibrium.

7 ~ The anthropocentric mind strives for certainty, based on the belief that an accumulation of knowledge gives security, ensures survival, can prevent unwanted hardship and protect against dangers.

The symbiocentric mind focuses on balance and wellbeing of IHC within the greater ecosphere of life. Uncertainty, doubt and a sense of not knowing are vital to ensure the ongoing unfolding and regenerating of the evolving organism.

Within our predominantly anthropocentric culture, original thinkers regularly discover symbiocentric laws and principles. Although the Symbiocene seems very young ~ the word itself in contemporary language barely 14 years old ~ its fundamental concept and characteristic features precede the conception of the Anthropocene, presumably by many millennia.

Shifting from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene is less a matter of gathering new information which makes the old knowledge obsolete. It is more about reconnecting with our roots and rediscovering how we can apply the innate laws and structures of the web of life to contemporary human living.

Aligning with Our Autochthonous Being

Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

〰 Chief Seattle 〰

Synchronosophy is not just a field theory of generic self-knowledge. It is a field guide to finding sources of relevant self-knowledge which may serve, sustain, and sponsor alignment with our autochthonous nature and ways of being.

All the anthropocentric masterstrokes of interference and subjugation ~ oppression of and violence against fellow humans, genocidal warfare, rape, racism, misogyny, exploitation and abuse of children, alienation, colonisation, devastation, extinction of sentient species, destruction of natural habitats, pollution of the atmosphere of our ecosphere, including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil in which we grow our food, depleted of minerals and nutrients, contamination of the stratosphere, spoliation of ancient sources and sacred sites of wisdom, ransacking, waste and wreckage reaching its greedy plundering grab from our mother planet out into her galaxy ~ all these attempts at controlling and subjugating the natural world we live in have never not affected ourselves.

No matter whether this surfaces in individual awareness or not, every IHC will have been shaken by these assaults to the core. Inevitably, all apparently ‘separate external’ draconian interferences with human wellbeing and threats to our natural environment will have directly affected the human inner world:::

Impertinent assumption of supremacy of the Intellect over the Instinct

Brutal attempts at repressing and annihilating emotions

Insiduous manipulation of beliefs

Shameless theft, adulteration and suppression of ideas

Cruel assaults on the human psyche

Declaration of independence of the human will without responsibility towards other symbionts or concerns about consent

This is only a fleeting overview of harmful treatments and noxious seeds planted into the inner soil of IHC over lifetimes of unsuspecting human generations. No wonder we are waking up in a daze to the unsettling reality of feeling battered and bruised, all more or less traumatised.

Savage eradication of our indigenous ways of being in the name of education and civilisation ~ to the degree that contemporary humans, born and raised in the most ‘advanced’ countries on earth are struggling to find meaning, know who we are, confuse fiction with truth, poison with food, computers with brains, and gigabytes with memory ~ of course it has eroded our alignment with our autochthonous nature.

And yet…

Although most of us cannot return to the indigenous ways of being, although we may not know or have any living memory of the ways and places sacred to our ancestors, although our autochthonous ways appear lost, buried under too many strata of anthropocentric theories ~ forced upon us as ‘truths’ for centuries and generations on end, not to mention the unimaginable destructive, cruel, oppressive, violent behaviours justified by such theories ~ in collective human Consciousness, the capacity for indigenous feeling, being, and experiencing ourselves within the natural world has never perished.

The indigenous roots of human nature cannot be annihilated.

Our collective memory is stirring within many of us individually, to revive our connection with nature, to be with her, protect her, live close to her, how- and whenever possible. But it is not only the external connection with nature and the great web of the life which has been destroyed and violated, torn to shreds, and calls to be rewoven.

In the wilderness of your own inner world, you may discover landscapes populated by indigenous clans, in defiance of anthropocentric thoughts, often side by side with them. You may feel wild inner creatures stirring. You may hear them calling for help.

The fact that these inner populations have survived the onslaught and relentless assaults of anthropocentric thinking at all is a miracle.

Meeting with Inner Dragons

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are only

waiting to see us act, just once,

with beauty and courage.

〰 Rainer Maria Rilke 〰

Synchronosophy is a way of living.

It is not a new therapy, or a self-help modality for individual self-improvement.

It is not a personal effort to “be the change I want to see in the world” by doing my bit to save humanity from itself.

It is not a desperate last ditch attempt to counterbalance the increasing collective devastation unleashed upon us and our ecosystems by generations of anthropocentric humans ~ and subsequently blamed on individuals who believe they are born to be the scapegoats ~ in the hope to “make the world a better place for our grandchildren.”

Synchronosophy is a way towards reclaiming our human autochthonous nature. A way to assert the human birthright to reconnect with our indigenous roots. A way to overhaul that outdated anthropocentric mindset from the inside out.

For me, it arrived on the scene unsolicited but not unwelcome. First it showed me how to meet myself without shame. From there it guided me to encounter life without fear. And at every step of the journey it taught me how to find clarity in the mist of confusion.

Having been a creative spirit and lateral thinker all my life, there was no barrier to becoming firm friends fast. Learning the language of the symbiocene seemed the most natural thing, once I knew I had to listen into the silences between the words.

Synchronosophy is a way of looking into the mirrors between internal and external synchronous events through the acute lenses of negative subjective experience (NSE).

You want to live a happy, successful, and fulfilled life? ~ I know, me too! That’s why NSEs need special attention.

In Synchronosophy, we focus on NSEs because they happen spontaneously. This allows them to bypass anthropocentric coercive control. With rare exceptions, NSEs tend to show up in everyday life unbidden and unwelcome.

NSEs just happen. They are autonomous reactions to adverse events, independent of voluntary mental constructs. They occur despite the most diligent plans, careful strategies, and risk-averse policies. They act as defiant rebels, unruly saboteurs, born and bred in the autochthonous wilderness of the inner landscape.

Anthropocentric thinking may have made you believe they come from the outside, have nothing to do with you, because you have done nothing wrong, always tried your best. And yet! Despite all desperate efforts to do all the right things. Disregarding the most fervent wishes and sincere intentions to create the perfect life. Jeering at absurd endeavours to please everyone, always, again. Shit happens.

When adverse events tumble into the arena of awareness, NSEs follow in some form of inner turmoil surfing the murky slipstream.

Synchronosophy shows how NSE is entangled › with unprocessed trauma › which is intimately tied to dormant potential › which holds the key to its own entelechy (= actualisation of potential) › which contains clues towards a unique life’s purpose › the roots of which tap into the creative wellspring of life › which in turn provides the required energy and resources to grow the life you have been wishing upon the stars all your life.

So it’s not a quick and easy hack to solve all the problems you were secretly hoping to finally slide off your plate into landfill. On the contrary, it is a sure-fire way to pull up the vacuum-cleaned fitted carpets and betray their smelly bottomside, exposing all the dirty linen you’ve managed to sweep underneath…

… don’t worry! This is not as bad as it sounds at first toll of the inner alarm bells.

For all its warning and mind-blowing concepts, Synchronosophy is a gentle path towards deeper understanding ~ not only of our own subjective experience, but also and more significantly of the symbiocentric modus operandi, revealing the mystery of how living organisms of human Consciousness organise and sustain themselves.

Facing and transforming NSEs within the symbiocentric mode is not a linear process. Every transformed ‘living cell of human Consciousness’ inevitably affects the whole. You are living within and dealing with a living organism. Your alignment with and participation in the natural living processes of this organism has unpredictable beneficial consequences.

Synchronosophy is a tender symbiocentric way to nudge intronauts in the direction of respinning the torn and frayed thread of humankind. It is designed to helps us reweave our own thread into the web of life. It encourages us to fall from the treacherous heights of anthropocentric supremacy into our autochthonous place in the world, where the inner and the outer are one.

This may take a little more time and patience than planned ~ scarce resources in the anthropocentric concept of the human microverse ~ always readily availabe when shifting into the Symbiocene. Synchronosophy offers filaments of light in the gloomy fog of bewilderment, sparked by nodes of NSE, flaring messages in foreign codes, to follow in trust with the all important sense of unknowing.

Will there be inner monsters and dragons? Of course there will be. The odd demon too. Any scary creature inhabiting your inner world is already waiting to be met with beauty, courage, and compassion. Just once.
