Scottie
To brush synchronicities away as mere coincidences is I guess easier.
I used to wake from sleep about 30seconds before my alarm went off, Initialy I thought I had maybe pressed the snooze button in my sleep, but Looking at the time I could not have done that. That happens for a while and then stops, it does not happen anymore(now I never hear the alarm)
I think that awaking 30secs before the alarm was a sign of the body's conditioning process after being used to the alarm. Maybe the sound of the alarm causes stress to the mind and body during sleep and the body .
I have had instances where I would out of the blue remember to phone someone and on reaching for the phone it would always ring and there they were, here I put it down to getting very used to a person and sort of developing a really good rapport that you become similar in thoughts and timing.
Some cultures are so superstitous regarding syncronicities that it virtually runs their lives, people live for signs and confirmations before taking the next step. Why are we like that, I guess maybe a belief in the excistance of God. Even the bible displays a lot of signs, E.G. Moses and the burning bush.
Man always doubts his abilities and common sense, he is always looking for approval from another source preferably a higher source, given all the sound reasoning and structure around us there is a romantic side that leaves stuff to chance. The film industries appeals to that human side of us when syncronicities are used in movies, always does the trick though, don't you think.
Read the following link, Jung describes it as "a meaningfull co-incidence."
Found in the same site I found this phrase, I do not know whether I beleive in it but nevertherless it is heartwarming .
"Synchronicities hint that beyond our habitual distinctions
between matter and mind lies a higher synthesis"

This is an interesting thread and makes for good discussion, But I think it belongs in The miscellaneous section. Please ask the administrators if it can be moved there.

well, this is a very interesting subject indeed!!! I think many of us could share similar stories of synchronicity here! in huna, the religion of the ancient hawaiians, it is believed that you form an attachment to all you meet, it is an invisible thread of a substance called "aka" which comes out of your solar plexus. the more time you spend with a person, the more you get to know them, the thicker this thread becomes. i have had a very recent example of becoming very close to someone i know only through email! a recent example is i woke up in the middle of the night, thought of this person, who lives in india, looked at my clock in NY and saw that it was 2:22. i came to work the next day to find an email from my friend that arrived in my mailbox at 2:22.
goethe, believe it or not, has always had some sort of presence in my life and i have had many strange coincidences regarding goethe and his faust. a recent example was that i was at a bed and breakfast in canada, i noticed a mask of a bear, walked over and looked at it. the owner said, "there is something written inside", it was a quote from faust. one day i noticed faust's name carved on the library where i work, with other writers. i came into work, after about an hour one of the librarians came out with a folder and said, "would you like to see a picture of a statue?" it was a bust of goethe, it is also in the park that is a five minute walk from my house.
Scottie, they say everything happens for a reason. i hope others come and post examples. it is nice to know that i am not the only one who will suddenly stop and say, "why did that happen?"

Debatable topic, with things beyond our explanations.
I am very sure most of us do come across a lot of such incidents meanings of which is a puzzle. I believe, any contact with individuals for a longer period of time, has some logic of soul-connections ( for ppl who believe in reincarnations, rebirths and the like)
Intuition? Esp? Coincidence? whatever name we give, its comprehension is beyond human beings.
I happen to have a friend of mine, (say Sharadha) who had close friendship with 2 of her male colleagues. (say x and y) All 3 were good friends. One fineday she had 2 proposals from both x and y separately. She was too confused, as she liked both of them and did not want to loose the friendship of either.
After some days of continued silence, she went to the temple, just to pray for peace, to help her choosing the right person, or just give a hint as to the right choice.
(I know most of them would think this silly, but believe it or not)
Soon as she came out from the temple, there were 2 auto richshaws waiting, each having verses written on it as below:
Sharadha,
I will always love you,
X.
sharadha,
I will always love you,
Y.
She was utterly perplexed, dumb found, & stunned. The later part of the story goes that she chose neither of them, but married a different person, even now both x and y remain her good friends. She is having a happy married life too.
To reach the destination, at every phase or part of life, we have different routes, opening simultaneously. To choose or not to choose any of them IS IN OUR HANDS. The probability or permutations combinations of choosing any route or routes entirely depends on us.
Hence I always believe, that past can be read, by any jothishi or palm readers, but FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS. We change the future, based on our decisions, thinking and choices.

Very Interesting!! Do you know more? Please share.

Hi, Shakthi,
Yes, I know quite a bit about Huna, what would you like to know? I have even done a meditation to sever this cord with a specific person when things went really wrong. They also say messages can travel along this cord. Really advanced Huna practicioners could do something called "putting out a finger" (yes, I know, not that finger!!) where they would meditate very, very deeply and send out a thread of aka to a specific destination to gather information. Working with aka is not that difficult. There is one technique I have used when walking up hills. You can visualize the aka going out and attaching itself to a tree at the top of the hill and use it to pull yourself up, you almost feel like you are floating. But I don't want to pull this thread into a different direction. Maybe we could hop over to the Occult/Metaphysical thread that i ahve been tring to re-activate for months.

Shakthi-
Your story about x and y is completely amazing.
donna (@ pc45*) on: Tue Apr 2 15:08:31

Donna,
The info on Huna is interesting.
"Shakthi-

Yeah but true! :-)
"
