Simultaneality 

Simultaneality (Si-mul-tan-e-al-it-y) is the state of mind which embodies the reality that everything is happening simultaneously and that ‘possibilities’ are living, breathing parts of every moment not something that comes to those who wait.

Simultaneality rejects a goal-driven life and embraces the journey!

Originated in Nevada City, California by somatic practitioner, massage therapist and writer Chula Linda Gemignani when she was finally fed up with 'New Year's resolutions' being goal-driven. She realized that the pressure of getting things accomplished was placing her in a freeze mode (flight, fight, freeze). When she evoked the state of simultaneality more was accomplished and her life experience became more fulfilling.
"You could tell by her accepting nature that she was in a state of simultaneality".

"The CEO rejected cut throat, goal oriented approach to life and enjoyed the journey by living in a state of simultaneality."

"He woke up in peace that morning in a state of Simultaneality. There was no sense of urgency, no definitive black and white ideas/judgements and/or emotions."

"When we embody simultaneality, we embrace that so many things are happening at the same time, even our beliefs around them."

When embodied with Simultaneality, we can let go of goal-driven lifestyles and live more open-heartedly to all of the possibilities that are unfolding in every given moment.

Simultaneality is a state of mind that creates more capacity and allowance for our own life experience and our experience of others.

"Simultaneously to the perception of any said idea, there so many other possibilities that are alive! The state of embracing that reality is simultaneality."

circumstantial simultaneity

The idea that the entirety of history and existence is a series of repeated events; nothing that happens is new. The idea implies events are connected circumstantially through their meaning, and from a temporally external frame of reference, happen at the same time. The term was coined by Andrew Hussie in his webcomic Homestuck.
