Personal Evidence for Synchronicity
In trying to recall moments of synchronicity, I realized how much I enjoy these instances. There is something exciting about having some kind of upfront proof of our universal connection. I love saying something at the exact same time as someone or thinking of someone and then they call (this ALWAYS happens with my mother and I). Something that I also seem to experience frequently is that I will have a dream, lets say about a red back spider and not necessarily remember it in the morning, but then someone throughout the day will mention something about red back spider and it will bring back my dream instantly. One time I remember running into a train station in Italy, cutting it very close to missing my train when I literally ran into my friend from Australia who I had known since we were babies and neither of us knew we were both in Europe. Another instance was when my boyfriend had come across this image in a book of the seed of a coco de mer. Both of us became obsessed with the shape, wishing we could see a real one in person. Then one night we went over to his friends father's home and there it was sitting on the center of the mantle piece. I have a friend who invented a game based on the idea that synchronicity happens all the time and you can literally tune into it. You ask the radio a question and turn it on and whatever song first comes on gives you some advice on your question. I've had to play it with her a number of times now and the results are pretty uncanny. You should try it! If anything you might have a good laugh...

I'm going to try your radio trick! I had a friend once who said you could do something similar by listening to songs in cars that drive by, or in stores. Sometimes I do that and it also holds way more than I would have expected. Once I was home and started to hear my radio station play sad, sad break up songs. Immediately after I had a friend tell me her partner had just bid her a nasty goodbye.
ReplyDeleteSynchronicity IS fun to play with and watch, and I really enjoyed the stories you shared, especially the one about the coco de mer seed.
