Have you experienced any synchronicity in the last few days? What happened?

syn·chro·nic·i·ty: Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.

I just had one. I do a radio show on a community radio station, and I borrowed a 2001 CD from a friend called, 'Transparent Mask' by Ken Nordine (he's famous for his 'Word Jazz', big name in radio).

So I'm doing a little live DJ work by playing a word jazz track from the Nordine CD, and then playing a song related to it. One track I played was called, 'Fibonacci Numbers', which I followed up by playing very cool psychedelic the song called 'Twelve (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZshZp-cxKg)' that Sesame Street used to play a lot.

I had no idea what Fibonacci Numbers were, created in 1202. If I ever heard the term before, I certainly don't recall. The very next evening I'm watching a PBS program called "Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem". An American mathematician resolved the problem, and a Russian proved it with an equation. I like PBS, documentaries and physics, but not really into mathematics. But I was sorta forcing myself to watch it a bit. That's when the doc revealed the Russian used the Fibonacci Numbers to complete the equation.

To experience Fibonacci Numbers, from two completely unconnected sources in successive evenings, when I had never heard about the 1202 concept in my life is an odd coincidence. The meaning for me is not yet apparent.

I just had one with your post (I think). I was debating same-sex marriage with a Christian (I am not Christian) on Facebook and she said that God arranged things to convert her to Christianity. I responded by saying that experience of the world is highly subjective. She responded by telling me to ask God to give me a sign that would be meaningful to me. Then, on a horror movie forum (I am a passionate horror movie fan) this thread was published about weird coincidences. The very thing me and her were discussing on Facebook. I am not going to be converting to Christianity, but that was really weird.

I have had LOTS of those kind of weird coinsidences happen to me, but I don't think I can recall any that happened within the last few days.

Well, except maybe that I read an article about how you shouldn't get sick before or during the Easter holiday because everything is closed, and what happened... very shortly after reading it, my old back injury started to hurt like crazy... no help until Wednesday!

I feel for you, Kan. I have an old lower back injury that aches often; and sometimes I pull a lower back muscle, I think by stretching too far, do to a bone spur. Sorry you're aching. I'll say a prayer for you right now.

That is quite a coincidence. I've enjoyed posting to a few message boards for
many years, but this is the first time I've ever posted a 'synchronicity thread'. I had just thought of it when I read our fellow member Cheebacheeba post about a related subject. Maybe the meaning wasn't for me, it was for you. See where it takes ya, Bro.

I know what gal on facebook is talking about. I've experienced sync in many contexts, but nothing quite like when it came to a 'renewed' relationship with God many years ago, those 'coincidences' were mind blowing. I think our minds easily phase out of seeing these constant 'coincidences', but when you're in that 'zone'... wow, it's really impactful. I don't know how often we're supposed to be in that zone, but I can't imagine wanting to step out of that light.
