Hi Dandelion, Yes it's a difficult conundrum - but there are some big clues that can make it easier. Firstly, there is no 'right direction' as you put it. It's an erroneous view in the spiritual mainstream that synchronicity points to some destined outcome in which 'all will be well' (or something of that kind). The flow is working to reveal beingness - destiny is unveiling the fullness of who you are and synchronicity lets you know when you're aligned with that energy. Yes we are all creating our reality: both the aligned part and the distorted part. We're creating mirrors by which to see ourselves; to unravel the distortions that expose themselves and unleash our gifts of beingness. The higher flow will land (generally) in a couple of ways: either direction landing as knowing, like a flash of inspiration - engage here now (in order to reveal you). Or it may be as a pull through the heart - the sense of a direction (but always the direction is leading in a way to invite you to express you). This higher flow descends into subconscious - lower - mind, through the solar plexus chakra. But on this journey down through the dimensions, the creative flash frequently gets sidetracked in most people: it gets distorted by their desires, attachments and fears. It's like putting a magnet next to a TV screen - all the pixels condense in the direction of the magnet. This creates the lower flow - the matrix - which is the expression of human karma working to resolve itself out. The solar plexus often gets tight when we're expressing a distortion like this (the sacrum too). It's a way to know when you're in a distortion and experiencing interference. You have to work into the tightness which usually revolves around the need for some kind of outcome, or else the resistance to what the flow is actually inviting.
