Consultations will be periodic and intermittent. My main foci will be healing services at St. Benedict’s Episcopal Church and podcasts. If anyone would like a consultation, email me (jveoly@gmail.com) for a time when I’ll be available. Consultations will be virtual and the cost is $200.
I would like to thank Robert Donahue of the Eugene Friends of Jung for leading me through the ins and outs of creating a website.

Here’s a video of your talk last night in Eugene,
I also videod you in 2014, now having been viewd by 9000 people,
Thanks Dr. Van Eenwyck.

First your move it this and that doesnt work, regardless I’ve yet again reached a point that is, according to my mother, intolerable. Basically Im a dysfunctional so they say on the spectrum high functional who as odds against shrinks is a shrink and have spent 6 years in what I hope was the right side of the couch. Given no one gave me, or them a couch, and life in the hospital was hell on fire, on a good day. M y mom said I need help again and I dont disagree, but it has to be a jungian I said, she asked what were your previous, said mainly cognitive behavioral, that works to a point, I got my degree in jungian. It never helped the people suffering from.psychosis but ok it was never meant to, so here I am again needing help. Can I ask for your help?

Dr. Van Eenwyk,
Have you ever heard of worked with anyone who seemed to be submerged in a “hyper synchronistic experiential reality”. One which was persistent and often touched the majority of events, situations and circumstances in their daily life? I am talking about synchronicity so pervasive and encompassing that it is made evident numerically, circumstantially and situationally, as well as in times and dates in their moment to moment life and in both major and minor events?

Well, I was looking into the psychoid archetype for answers and came across a lecture you gave which was literally mind blowing. The amazing thing about it all is I have recently started studying parasites for health reasons and you go on to introduce the concepts of dna linked to the psychoid topic by using the very things I have been studying on the parasitic topic. Anyway, I have been in this weird synchronistic experience that seems to tie things together in a “super bundle”. The numbers 3, 6, 9, and especially 33 and 333 is specifically evident in ways that go beyond chalking it up to my own delusion.
An example is I get a job and on my way to work nearly rear end a car with the last three characters on the license plate 333. I go to the main office and get my employee number and it is 690033, I show up to the physical location I will be working at pull into the parking lot and there is a huge independent contractors truck parked in the parking lot with the number 33 on the vehicle’s bumper. I walk in and clock in and the time stamp is 3:33pm in the after noon.
Sometimes I feel crazy. Other times I feel “special”…but that makes me worry I am actually crazy.
Any thoughts as to the causation of such a phenomenon? I’m a rational guy. A skeptic at heart. I think I believe in a Judaic Christian model of the world and reality, however there is no mention of this in “The Good Book”.
Any direction you could point me would be appreciated.

I lived on Whidbey Island in the rain shadow of the Olympian mountain for 3 years and just moved to Hawaii Island a year ago. 😉

Hello John, I am a long time Jungian enthusiast, and have collected many books over 40 years, including the books of diseased Jungian analyst friend Louise Bode.(trained in Zurich, worked in Chicago and Seattle Jung centers). When I pass I would like to donate these books to a Jungian library where they will be most appreciated. Any suggestions? Thank you.Wendy (Ana) Schofield 360-890-5532

others around me tend to kind of get sucked in to it. My exgirlfriend and my kids really trip out about it and start pointing it out, too. They claim to not experience it unless they are with me.

remember that synchronicity is an acausal connecting principle. that is, the relationship between and among similar incidents is not causal. one incident does not cause another, and there is no real “intent” on the part of that which is revealed. so when you see a lot of similar numbers, that does not mean something secret is being revealed to you. it’s all what we make of it. so the challenge is to see what we project onto and into incidents around us. that reveals our own proclivities to assign meaning, cause, etc.

This explains numerals but not events and occurrences. Especially when all bundled together.
Example:
My brother and I believed we saw a large mountain lion on the highway here in Hawaii. It was a large feline which looked exactly like a mountain lion. Everyone we talked to laughed and said “impossible, none of the islands host cats of any kind, and none have EVER been seen on Big Island.”
MUCH investigating reveals this to be true.
A few nights ago, this occurrence randomly enters my mind and I decide to get on the internet and investigate whether or not there have been any reports or sighting since then.
Nothing.
Fast forward to last night. I have a brand new coworker who lives in Waimea. She turns to me and asks “have you heard of anyone seeing a large cat like a cougar between here and Waimea?”
Apparently her friend who is a police officer swears he saw one cross the highway that very night I was investigating the topic again. She said everyone is making fun of him at the police department because of his supposed sighting. I called my brother and asked him in front of her what we thought we saw that day and he went on to explain it was a cougar. We both laugh but she even said the statistics of this happening were pretty astounding. We both start talking about synchronicity, numerology and all the other hippie dippie stuff for a few minute. I’m keeping it light, not going into Anything too heavy.. don’t want anyone to think I am too weird or have everyone think I’m some nutter or freak. So eventually I let the subject die and we go on for several minutes doing reports and “talking shop”.
Well we work at a resort together and 2 minutes before I let her go for the night she turns to me and asks me if homeless people ever come in and ask to use the restroom or for water. (Big Island has a homeless and vagabond issue to say the least. Fair enough) I tell her though they have been seen on the property none have ever come into the lobby and asked for anything.
After that very question I explain all the arrivals are in for the night and she can go home. She walks over punches out gets in her car and leaves. Not 60 seconds go by from the time I see her headlights leaving the parking space in front of the lobby a middle aged man on a skateboard, obviously homeless, opens the door to the lobby and asks if he can have some water.
My front desk guy, looks at me with huge eyes and says, “that is f@#*ing freaky, bro.”
I’ve been here almost 4 months, that has never occurred.
If I had only a few of these events happen, I would brush them off and say “far out, maaaan, like the cosmos is cool and stuff”, and not think much about them.
However, these are almost daily occurrences.
To the point, it is either annoying or ponderous beyond all reason, which is annoying to me. I like to truly understand things.
Hence me reaching out.
You can verify this stuff with just about everyone I am around. From family to coworkers. As a man of mind and science, surely you have some direction to push me towards?
Everything I look up is either too strict in an intellectual/academic Paradigm and cannot encompass what I experience, or alternatively, (again) too “far out” for me to be able to garner a solid foothold to any stable understanding of why synchronicity seems to be in hyper effect.
Which is what lead me to your lecture. The psychoid is not a well vetted subject, apparently and few people even understand the topic better yet can shear light upon it.
I guess I am looking for that “Goldie Locks’ bowl of porridge” I can eat… if that makes sense.
I think Jung would be interested in such claims, especially if they could be verified. I just want a direction. A book, an encompassing philosophy, or a real person who has experience or the ability to navigate these experiences my reality is seemingly regularly a host to.
By the way, thanks for at least answering me. I know it’s a weird introduction into an even weirder topic, and I can see you deal with extremely odd people at times. Anyway, thank you for your time to even ponder such an inquiry.
Apologies if I come across a bit desperate, it is because I am.
Mahalo.
