Hello Dave and Helecta

It happened one more time, to read and hear the same word and I decided to look for that in the Internet and here I am. I am glad that I can share this “strange” thing with other people. The synchronicity started to me with numbers, where I was looking the clock (even awakening without obvious reason) and the time was always something “special”, like all the same digits or symmetrical digits (like 12:21). Then also started this thing with words, simple at the beginning and then more rare, that I read and hear simultaneously. If you have found any more info about that please let me know.

I was alerted by email there were new postings here. I have to relate another peculiar event. I visited my eye doctor for a checkup a month ago. She gave me dilating drops. The exam went fine. On my way out, the receptionist offered me those funny sunglasses that fit behind eyeglasses. I showed her my regular sunglasses and said I don’t need them. I just thought about odd those “stickon” glasses look. That night I took the train home from work. I stopped at a Giant to get some milk. I parked my truck, got out, took 3 steps and lying directly in front of me on the macadam, is a pair of those “funny” stick on sunglasses. I ignored them and went into the store, bought my gallon of milk. On the way out, something on the ground about a hundred feet ahead was shining so brightly into my eyes, I had to look away. I walked up to where this shiny thing was, and was the same pair of stickon sunglasses, reflecting the overhead parking lot lights right into my eyes. This time I picked the sunglasses up, and keep it in my locker at work. I look at them from time to time. Another mystery. BTW, I had cataract surgery in April.

Helecta,
You may never see this reply because your post is now a little over a year old. I was searching for the exact subject you were looking for, words that pop up just as you read, speak, hear, or see them, as you described. Thank goodness someone else can do this! I was wondering if I was alone in doing this. I have had this happen for at least a decade now. I posted on a website about synchronicity and was told it was a form of it but told me nothing much else about it. Have you found any good sites on the subject?

Steve, you asked several very insightful questions in your first paragraph.

I have had synchronistic experiences all my life. I have often thought that since my grandmother, who was a Cherokee healing woman, opened my mind at an early age I probably had an advantage. This may or may not be true.

As society has advanced, it does not seem that anything other than the physical senses have advanced as quickly. I do see some advancement, but in the US in particular we seem to have an awful lot of folk who still believe that anything outside their own belief system is evil. It is therefore not conducive to speak in public about the things we experience, whether they are synchronous events or metaphysical beliefs.

You asked if this phenomena might be due to some portion of our minds (brain?) we don’t use.
This is entirely possible.

Have you seen the article on the God helmet? It’s very interesting that there is a part of the brain that seems to be geared toward ‘belief’. So it’s possible that those of us who are not religious could experience a religious event just by having that portion of the brain stimulated.

Our thoughts actually stimulate different parts of the brain, so it is also possible that events occur around us because of that. It is also possible that we are just more cognizant of those things.

For myself, it seems that synchronicity is almost a “wish fulfillment” rather than just random episodes of coincidence.

It isn’t that I concentrate on wish fulfillment, it just happens that way.

My grandmother taught me one meditation as a child. I did not accomplish the purpose of it until I was in my 40’s.
The meditation was to sit in the forest on a breezy day and listen. Listen until you can hear the sound each individual tree makes. It’s an amazing meditation that allows you to realize, at the moment you can discern the sound of each tree, that all things are connected.

Thanks for giving me something to think through.

I am falling behind on recording my episodes. Two weeks ago I went for my power walk, from 5th & Market to 11th, left on 11th. I said to myself about 6 times -”’someone is going to stop and talk to me”. at that point, a raging insane person ranting and cursing, passed me and all other people walking that way. I got out of his way. I kept walking , got rattled, and later realized that had forgotten the thought. I got to 9th and Chestnut, walking east on Chestnut, and an older lady pushing a baby carriage, stopped and asked me, “sir, could you tell me where Cozi’s is”? Well I stopped and excused myself and could not tell her where it was, though I had passed it many times. I just told her I was sorry I could not remember (BTW, all my life I have no sense of direction)and walked half a block and only then realized that what had transpired there, (someone would stop me), had come true. I felt so high, I virtually “floated back to work”. Again, I am amazed and astounded. There are four or five more episodes I have had in 2 weeks, I don’t want to take everyone’s time here. I have to post the most profound ones.

Thanks earthpages.org for this great discussion on synchronicities. But I would just like to direct this comment to Teresa Silverthorn. On May 5th you responded to my share about the synchronicity of finding an eye glass bolt, well just now I had a synchronicity involving you! I had been on Google searching “awakening 2012″ and I happened upon your website! I recognized the picture of you with your glasses and then checked back on this site which I had saved in favorites and yes there you were! You have a very interesting website, and are now also in my favorites! It’s synchronicity that gives me a sense of connection to all things.

Browser,

It is truly beautiful what is happening world-wide. Consider documenting your experiences for not only personal reasons, but for the resources they may provide you in the future. Always walk with integrity, and keep your focus clear. And, by the way, welcome to the New World…

Teresa – thank you so much for your beautiful comments. I am just in awe of what is happening. I feel so sorry for those who have not experinenced these sort of joyful events. They are unfolding in front of me. The first think I think of is “divine intervention”. However; I am not religious, as the last church service I attended was when I was 19. Through intense focus, I have achieved so much. I envisioned that I would have a partner to talk to on the train home from Philly. In a sense (I welciome my beauiful friend when we arrive at the station, and we are able to converse, shortly, thought intensely, until we depart for our vehicles) it has happened and I am so grateful, words cannot express my joy of this happening. May the Force be with everyone!

The “grid” was re-configured in 1999, which has resulted in increased synchronicities which are currently being experienced by humanity. I have to agree with Dr. Clark’s statement above, when using the term “humility.” By this, I am suggesting that those experiencing these phenomenons, bear in mind that they are wide-spread in current times. Therefore, it is important to understand that we are all part of something massive, and that these experiences are not selective to those with pre-conceived notions of superpowers, etc.

Best to absorb the commonalities around us, than divide ourselves at this time, with delusive thoughts of feeling you are alone in what you are experiencing.

All in all, consider the beauty that there are means of sharing these experiences with others freely, finding a unity among those who share these amazing realities….

This afternoon I phoned my sister and we talked at length about the Phillies. She mentioned a pitcher, Kyle Drabek. I said I knew nothing of him, would check him out on the net. I hung up and perused Drabek on the net (Wikipedia). Turns out he plays for a Phillies minor league team and had “Tommy John Surgery”. I clicked on that highlight and read about the surgery. OK- I got out of the site and went to CNN sports to check the Phillies score. They were winning so I left the computer, turned the radio on to listen to the game. The first words I heard were “He had Tommy John Surgery”. I have no idea who they were talking about though, as my brain stopped functioning at that point. Again, I was dumbfounded with another primary synchronous event. In a previous post, I used the word “obsessed”. That was a bad choice. “Purely focused” is better. But what happened is the truth, and I also had several synchronous instances last week in my workplace, but this “Surgery” thing is the biggest. I know of Tommy John, but never heard of the surgery named after him. Again, I said to my wife, “I think I am the Chosen One”. I know I sound ridiculous, but this stuff is more exciting every day. I told my wife I may be able to transition off to another plane, at will, soon. She did not laugh.
