I moved to ontario recently from b.c. one day i was thinking about a friend i hadn't seen in a while, but i heard he was living in toronto. the next day i ran into him at union station.

what is synchronicity? just coincidences? or signs of the Intent of a force, call it god, the spirit, or an unkown force.

post your thoughts and experiences if any.

Me and Aquanina have discussed synchronicity before. Mostly in regards to the dream sharing experiment. I am not sure if there is a post about that. I have some theories about this but they are not ..well in sync in my Brian at the moment)

But the most current event that I felt very odd was my wife's experience. We are hoping to move into a new house. The address had a set of numbers that were in a sequence of 704. For some odd reason she kept thinking of this old bottle of her mom's perfume. Then it clicked. She remember the number in correlation to this perfume. She dug the bottle out of a box and the number 704 was in the middle of the UPC label.
Probably just some memory experience. Still odd.

Myself and my closest relatives have birthdays on the 7th day of the following months:

all the damn time i'm having synchronistic events happening, i try not to think anything of them.

for instance: i was leaving my car and walking down the sidewalk to get to this restaurant. as i came closer to the restaurant i saw a car parked out front with my friend Eric in it. As I got closer to the car I realized it wasn't him. I walk into the restaurant and who's sitting right there, my friend Eric. We hadn't seen eachother in a year. It's like I sensed his presence some how.

I have experienced synchronity lately, and a lot.
Me and this other guy were on a boat vacation trip thing, and so often it happened that at the same time, we said "Lets [insert random action]" (and don't be a pervert here for a moment XD).

What is now called sychronicity was once called Fate or Destiny.

I think it must be very important, because my Dreams have indicated so much. You see, in one of my most important Dreams, where one Goddess Oracle had given me the gift of True Discernment, in the very next Dream Scene sequed to, another Goddess made the point of demonstrating the point that "Nothing happens by Chance".

Apparently the Faculty of True Discernment depends upon the corrollary conviction that 'nothing happens by chance' -- that eveything has a purpose or reason for being.

So, it would seem that as we grow in our Faculty of True Discernment, we would notice more of the synchronicity happening all around us, that is, we would see the interconnectedness of All Things.

People may call it a number of things. What you call it is really not as important as the road that leads you to synchronicity, awareness, liberation. In concert with the world around you.
I have recently been reading about Awareness!
This is not necessarily confined to just awareness of our senses, although it is a vital part to use them in the process.
It is more of an awakening to reality and what is around you.
The perceptions we encounter the labels we put upon ourselves and others and the illusory nature of reality.
addressing , "sleep walking through life."
I have found this very enlightening.

A very different perspective.

Fate and destiny are often thing preconceived in nature. Things that we cannot change. I believe we can change our mental conditioning to synchronize with the world around us

Uuuuh happy birthday on the 7th
My birthday and my wife's are three days apart. Ironically so was my dads birthday and my mothers.

I think that sometimes its simple coincidence, sometimes it's being on the same wavelength with people, and sometimes it just might be the universe lining up and you having a connection to that line-up. How does one tell the difference? I don't know that you can be 100% sure of the "reason" or lack of a reason behind a coincidence or synchronization. We should try to keep ourselves grounded enough to recognize that sometimes coincidences are simply that... but keep our imaginative ability to believe in the supernatural that we can ponder the nature of "coincidences" that seem more odd than most.

My parents' street number is 1115
My parents were married on November 15th, the exact same day and year my husband was born.
My old high school best friend's birthday was also on November 15th (she was my maid of honor)
My husband's best man at our wedding was born on November 14th, and my husband's step mother's birthday is November 16th.
ALL coincidences? Could be... but I'd rather think they're all evidence of our strange connections with each other.

An example of one I think really is just coincidence... when I call my best friend and she is literally holding the phone about to call me. I don't think think this is supernatural in any way because, well, we call each other a lot. Now, if you pick up the phone and start dialing a number, only to realize the person you were calling is already on the line... that's a bit odd, though still possibly coincidental.

Huh, that's cool - I guess it was meant to be.

I don't know if this counts as synchronicity but some times a scene of a film pops into my head and then with in a week that film is on Tv.

Or when I'm on msn I think of a person and that person logs in.

Could just be coincidence or could be something more, perhaps we will never know.
*plays twilight zone music*

This stuff happens to me all the time, mostly with the number 27. I see it randomly pop-up in my life. You could say it's because I'm looking for it or that its just coincidence, but it's fun to think that the universe is working with me.

I've heard that when one experiences synchronicity in life you are on the right track. So those who have it a lot myst be lucky

I don't get them much unless it's with the clock...but one synchronicity (or coincidence) that I will never forget is this one time, I saw my brother and his friends leaving popeyes chicken resturant. I waved they waved back and left. As I drove up closer to the popeyes menu I looked over and noticed a wallet on the asphalt....I got out of the car and picked it up and noticed that it was my brother's wallet! Good thing I found it before anybody else got to it.

I found an interesting article to read for fun. http://www.davidmyers.org/Brix?pageID=91

I've had synchronicities pop into my life a lot this year... It all started when I read R.A.Wilson's Illuminatus trilogy - and turned 23 .


I believe they happen constantly and to everyone, all the time - its just that no one pays any attention to them and they go unnoticed. And the more you pay attention the more they pile up. It's proof that everything really is connected.

Or maybe they're just coincidences. Either way, you just got to love them.


Great. Just realized, this was my fifth post. The time says 6:23. Hail Eris!

From what I understand I don't think it's coincidence at all it's supposed to indicate a link to something much higher than our current comprehension. I have a pattern of numbers as well and it's always 3 digit numbers with 3 being associated with the other 2, anyway try playing the lottery when your number hits you mentally.

Okay, this is weird.

I just got a phone call from this transport company in Finland, Kaukokiito. I had applied earlier to another company Kiitolinja, and slightly confused (I'm currently unemployed and applying for several jobs simultaneously) I ask: "is this about the job application?"

The guy on the other end is also confused and tells me that he wanted to contact an employee of theirs who has the same name as I do. He then tells me that he had old records of this employee with the same name as me - and he tells me that the guy lived in the same street as I do now, but that he moved away. The caller had gotten my number from the number inquery instead of the employee!!

Im like WTF when he tells me that he'll mention to his boss about me looking for work, seeing that they now got my number.


Seriously,
what
the
fuck
?!?

LOL that's messed.

Synchronicity has been happening to me a lot since I've started reading Carlos Castaneda. (i read all 14 of his books in 4-5 months). It's getting to that point where i can ask the grand universe, or whatever it is... and get an answer with synchronicty. It's not all the time tho. but pretty cool.

What someone said about being on the right track: I'm learning to use my feelings as a compass eg. if i feel good i'm on the right track. If I'm feeling bad i'm not on the right track and need to change my direction.
Seems to work for me so far
