Sponsor |  digits | Sep 24, 2007 4:44am | I have always been intrigued by seemingly "perfect coincidences." Since for a while I have learned this term as "synchronicity." Even in a shorter while I have educated myself on the various theories of synchronicity.
A.) "It's God's way of being anonymous."
B.) The Universe is perfect and lines up accordingly. [My favorite.]
C.) Fate or Destiny
D.) Manifesting Desires [Another favorite.]
E.) Universe/God/Spirit talking to us by leading us.
Well. They're kind of all my favorites as I sometimes believe certain happenings can be of flavor E. while tomorrow's could be a flavor B. and in ten minutes I will experience maybe another version. Just thinking out loud. It's "Unexplained" and is why I am posting here. :)
I wanted to share I have had millions of synchronistic experiences and have noticed many of them. What I am wondering about this morning are all the synchronistic experiences I must miss because I am not looking or noticing!
I think halfway to having *more* experiences is to open our eyes. Several books are well versed on the matter and have helped. In hindsight [after my book addiction was finally released - haha!] I realized I could have written the entirety of all books more or less in three simple to understand words...
"Open your Eyes." |

By: Queensryche
You and I
long to live like the wind upon the water.
If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize
there's more to life than what we have known.
And I can't believe I've spent so long
living lies I know were wrong inside,
I've just begun to see the light.
Long ago there was a dream,
had to make a choice or two.
Leaving all I loved behind,
for what nobody knew.
Stepped out on the stage, a life
under lights and judging eyes.
Now the applause has died and I
can dream again...
Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines,
criticize the words they're selling.
Think for yourself and feel the walls
become sand beneath your feet
Feel the breeze?
Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom.
There's a warm wind from the south.
Hoist the sail and we'll be gone,
by morning this will all seem like a dream.
And if you don't return to sing the song,
maybe just as well.
I've seen the news and there's
not much I can do...alone
Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?
What's behind the words--images
they know will please us?
I'll take what's real. Bring up the lights.
Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines,
criticize the words they're selling.
Think for yourself and feel the walls...
become sand beneath your feet.

This song always spoke to me, in the context of synchronicity. Meaning, that life is not to be blindly walked through, or hurriedly ran through...but felt and experienced by every fiber of your very being.
John Lennon said it best..."Life is what happens, while you're busy making other plans."
Synchronicity is a a phenominon that occurs when we are not paying attention (in my opinion) and here and there we pick up on it after the fact...and make note of it. Maybe smile, maybe laugh...but...(in my opinion)~(again) it happens all the time. |

But he makes an impact [he'd preached and I guess she saw him on TV] on her and she mentioned she wanted the book. She was telling me about how his book came to be for maybe 10 minutes or so...his back problems and so forth.
Monday morning there he is on Dr. Phil and the volume was down so I didn't know who he was until it captioned below him, "Repositioning Yourself." I nearly blew a gasket.
I called her and told her of my post here on synchronicity before Dr. Phil had even come on, then Dr. Phil came on...and we definitely saw that as synchronicity. |

There, in the carpark, was a car just like my old bomb, same model, same crappy paint job ;) He mentioned that he must be psychic because yesterday at work, he had been randomly telling one of the guys about a friend he hadn't seen in "ages", and after he left work, he bumped into his friend in the mall!
He's 14 and a true non-believer. I should get him to pay more attention to it.
Psychic, or just coincidence? LOL |

Sponsor | | lovingpoet | Sep 26, 2007 10:12am | I experience alot of this sort of thing when talking to my daughter. She and I both will seem to pick up on each others thoughts. The last time I remember this happening was on a long drive. I was simply thinking of a particular subject, had not verbalized anything, and she made a comment on the subject, as if we were talking about. It happenes between her and I all the time.
Now, could this be synchronicity? Or do she and I share some sort of telepathic link?
My opinion on synchronicity, is not only that it happens all the time, but that it is more than just coincidence. And opening the eyes to it (as digits said) might open your mind to other possibilities of the mind. |

Sponsor | | digits | Sep 27, 2007 3:53am | Magickalmoon - You know...I have really given synchronicity a lot of thought...like you asked: "psychic or coincidence" and I have even thought another possibility is that we *are* all a collective consciousness so ...
for example...my friend was impressed with TD Jakes and speaking of him [maybe by way of getting a vibe from him that got pushed over the edge with his being on Dr. Phil.] and the waves of "him" begin getting sent out into the universe and she picked him up and discussed him long before he was on the actual show that would be broadcast.
Your son and your car. Your getting rid of the car and then looking at the photos and reminiscing... so waves from you and your son are escaping your minds - being sent out into the universe...and the driver of the car just happened to need to *be near* where those waves are - cause he has his own waves...and voila. You see his car. [or maybe you wanted to look at the pictures because maybe the driver sent out a prayer involving the car and a side effect is his thought waves went hurling across the earth and you, "all of a sudden," thought it'd be a good idea to look at the pictures.]
...all of a sudden i began craving to see a movie and considered renting it..but then turn the channel and see it's on? i am also an hsp [highly sensitive person] so for me to be prone to "waves" i can't see doesn't surprise me...and that could be one rational explanation.
don't laugh.
i feel it to be quite rational.
LoL
That kinda thing. :) |

| | | 3807889 | Sep 29, 2007 10:47pm | digits, when you put it like that, it kinda weird me out a little. I can't comprehend anything that powerful (even if it's possible, which it may be). I just can't get my head around it.
But I do believe we meet people for a reason, and I also believe that we are bound to meet them eventually, even if we decide to go off on a different course (so will they).. everything happens for a reason (imo) |

Sponsor | | digits | Sep 30, 2007 10:21am | i very much understand the inability to comprehend that. had i not been working with manifesting, the connection to scientific prayer, and metaphysical [things not seen] influences i wouldn't be able to wrap my head around it either [but like you, could allow, for the possibility of its existence].
i think once i became conscious of the possibility, my experience with it grew leaps and bounds. for example, i have a friend who tells me of some 11:11 clock phenomenon and i had never taken note of the clock reading 11:11. But since she told me about it...5 or so days out of 7 i will glance the clock and it will be 11:11pm or 11:11am. see...no big deal except that before i never noticed it.
it's not that i am making it be 11:11 it's just that i think it's in my subconscious to glance the clock when my subconcious intuitively knows it to be 11:11...so i look in order to "fulfill" the "pattern" of seeing 11:11 everywhere. i look in order to make it "coincidental."
perhaps same with the time i craved a movie. some way, somehow i "received" something [i am still working on who is the giver/receiver in any given situation]...a wave...an instinct.. so i "materialized" it by acknowledging consciously i wanted to see the movie and then when i flipped the channel..there it was coming on...network premiere. therefore i *made* the synchronicity.
you looking at your pictures. did you send or did you receive? :) it's my belief that like some people have gifts in math or science or piano or a gift for gab...others have metaphysical gifts and can send/receive effortlessly once acknowledged it's a possibility. [After all, even a piano prodigy had to understand what notes were shich before sehe began playing Betthoven at 10.]
:)
i hope you stay open to it. i see you have this tremendous gift. rather...let me be honest..i feel it very strongly from you.
ps. i think most people have the capacity to send/recieve or at least receive...like most people have the capacity to grasp 2 + 2. however, in my belief, in others it's stronger and i call these people hsp or h.ighly s.ensitive p.eople. :) |
