Can we tune into each other's vibrations? We explore questions of emotional resonance, vibration, and synchronicity in the 1991 film "the Double Life of Veronique," directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski, and what it means for the hidden connections in your life.

The Double Life of Veronique is the story of two women, Weronika and Veronique, whose lives are deeply connected in mysterious ways. Through their story we'll look at some fascinating concepts:

1. Simulpathity and Synchronicity:

One of the leading thinkers in this area is the psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Beitman, who says that we have the ability to tap into what other people are experiencing, and to feel what they feel, without any physical contact. He calls this ability ‘simulpathity.’

2. Fractals:

Fractals are a type of pattern that repeat themselves over and over again, in way that’s self-similar i.e., means that each part of the image looks like the overall whole.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Terry Marks-Tarlow tell us that fractal patterns are related to synchronicity in a very important way. If the universe is fractal, and we are self-similar parts of the whole, then is it really surprising that our inner states would line up with the outside world in such meaningful ways? In other words, synchronicity is what happens when the “fractals of external reality merge with the fractals of our inner reality.”

Dr. Beitman and Dr. Marks-Tarlow have a fascinating conversation on this topic here:    • Fractals - The Foundation of Synchron...  

3. Intuition

Dr. Terry Marks-Tarlow also says that perhaps we intuitively understand fractals because that’s how intuition works. She says that intuition is the ability to take one slice of experience and understanding that it’s part of an overall pattern of a much larger whole, right away. In other words, it is taking one part of a fractal and extrapolating to the whole.
