Has anyone experienced this? All of my life I have had 'synchroncities' that I am tuned into, that are seemingly some kind of metaphor for Christianity.

They are like million-to-one odds occurences, that happen regularly. It's all very weird.

I moved into my current home 21 years ago & the owner already knew my family name, claiming they had known it for years and said they had been waiting for years for our family to arrive.

She was some kind of witch? She had tons of herbs to ward off evil spirits & dreamcatchers and basically lived in the dark, like I do...

My world ended in 2012, as the Mayans predicted & I am now reborn.

The first time I saw my future (ex)husband I thought "Oh damn. I'm gonna marry that person. I'm not even attracted to him - but there he is!" I was only 17 and I hadn't even spoken to him. I felt disappointed that this was the man I'd marry, but I just knew it. Sure enough, he came waddling over within minutes and changed the course of my life (not for good).

Likewise when I bought my first house I'd been looking at many homes with a realtor. One night in her office I flipped through some papers of future listings which didn't even have pictures attached yet. I saw a street name and without even knowing the street, or seeing the house, I said "that's my address".

I get these feelings of "I remember that from my future", which don't make sense but they come true.

I think that there is a realm of higher consciousness that transcends the physical, and can give clues to the future.

I almost think of this as the universe being in a 'hot flow' vs. a 'cold flow', where the cold flow is business as usual whereas the hot flow is the typical rules going out the window with a lot of unusual fingerprints.

My best theory on what this is - that intelligence (and possibly consciousness) is at many canopied levels. You see this in flocks of starling for example or in ant colonies. Something similar happens to us and while quite often we're mostly feeding upward to higher level amalgamations of intelligence, occasionally top-down sorts of things happen and in many of those cases they don't happen at a social level.

I'd figure that a lot of people here are already familiar with Donald Hoffman and his (and Chetan Prakash's) idea of conscious agents creating contracts by social participation and each of those contracts is its own conscious agent. That's what I mean by these canopies. It's a bit like you could say that so many of the 'angels' or 'demons' we encounter may well be collective intelligences of various sorts (maybe not in all cases but so many of our odd experiences seem to fit this).

Part of why I don't really think any of this should be odd - look at animations of cell activity and see just how much of it shows no sign of Newtonian direct drive, a lot of it almost seems like its flying by remote control (a lot of this might be related to the kinds of bioelectric dynamics that Michael Levin has been talking about recently). Similarly our nervous systems have both bottom up and top down dynamics. People are obviously a bit farther apart than synaptic gaps but think of how complex our means of reading, processing, and exchanging information are. Similarly - how far away am I from most of you? I some sense thousands of miles in many cases, in another sense - 20 inches away as I stare at my curved Samsung monitor.

In that sense I'd maybe argue for a 'natural' synchronicity.

I would never believe in 'synchronicity' on a macro level; but when Trump was elected, I told my wife and some of our friends that there would be a plague on all humankind.

Now we have the coronavirus.

Coincidence?

Tapping Finger, Hehe, Patiently Waiting For A Material 'STEM' Major
Reductionist to Claim That Synchronicity is Basically Confirmation Bias;

However, It's Worth Noting That Nobel Prize Winning Physicists As Studied
Report That Only 4 Percent Had ever Considered Themselves, Agnostic Or
Atheist; Whereas, 30 Percent, Overall, of Other Nobel Prize Winning Scientists Assessed
Themselves As Agnostic or Atheist During Some Period of Their Life; Early On, 'Physicist

Tend to 'Grasp'

'The Fact' That All of

The Master, the Right Brain

The Left Brain is More 'The Right Hand

I'm not that sort of person at all.

I have experienced "deja vu"----but that's about it.

If I was into this sort of thing, I would have many more friends.

Most dudes I meet hate spiritual stuff, which is why I like to seek out women who like things like that. Unfortunately, most of them seem to estimate that I am a typical 'white guy' & don't get to know me.

When I see some weird witchy stuff, I am super interested in that person.

I find Wiccan practioners a lot more interesting than ghosts and other Christians. If they are easy on the eye I go into sensory overload and shut down though.

Basically yes.

"Synchronicity" means "linked in time".

and here I am waiting to get nailed with delusions of reference and crucified for it on the Dr Phil show.

what a relief!

edit, definitely reference, but grandeur may pop up as well.

Blaire gives a good example of this sort of echo-off. She smoked DMT, the elves were telling her 'This is not the end', she assumed in response to her asking 'Is this what death is like?'. She goes to a restaurant with friends afterward, doesn't like what the place would do to the afterglow she's having, goes to another restaurant, and there's a bit sign on the wall that says 'This is not the end'.

It doesn't have to be a psychedelic experience or magical working that kicks it off, unusual and high intensity experiences in general can cause the initial 'splash' that sends ripples later.

I think ghosts may be real, although I'd probably imagine there is some scientific explanation for them. Maybe they are people stuck in a different electromagnetic spectrum or dimension or something? I have no idea.

PM me if you would like to. :)

Honestly, I'm not going to read that, I have too much to read elsewhere. But thank you. :heart:
