    have you guys ever had anything happen to you that you cant really explain or something incredibly strange and connected that you just cant help but feel your apart of something greater than yourself or maybe you are psychic? or any strange experience or coincedence or anything at all, feel free to share your experiences...

    It's called being human, I think. :)

    Too many co-incidences to mention!!

    But also, I'm very interested in the I Ching, which seems to operate on the basis of meaningful co-incidence, as I believe, do other systems of divination like the Tarot, and even astrology.

    I have memories that never took place, even in dreams.

    Carl Jung was into coincidences.
    He termed meaningful coincidences Synchronicity.

    How can you be so sure? No one remembers all their dreams. And dream events do sometimes get confused as real memories.

    That's exactly how I felt when God first started revealing God's nature to me (that God plans and coordinates all things). I thought what I was thinking was controlling the world around me because I would think about something while walkning downtown and a minute later there would be a group of people discussing it. Then I was worrying about this one thing for a while- a couple of different issues. I happened to have this old videotape of a classic movie that I found somewhere in my roomates junk. I put it in (never had heard of the movie- totally forget it's name now) and the people were talking about all of the stuff I had just been thinking about. It was just too wierd. Then I would turn on the tv while thinking about something and what I was thinking about is what they were talking about on tv. This stuff happens so often (and I think about wierd uncommon stuff a lot of the time) that I eventually realised everything that happens around me is part of a well coordinated plan.

    At first it was overwhelming: a higher power is planning each step of my life, Like OMG!@#! Now I am just like, cool. Nice to see what your doing. Good job. I find myself saying "Good Job" to God a lot, mainly because I am impressed with how intelligent God is to coordinate so many thoughts (and beings) so they match up at the exact right time and place.

    There is this book about other people who experience these coincidences called "The Celestine Prophecy". Don't take everything in it seriously, but it does describe another persons awakening to the higher order in a ficticious manner. The author had the same things happening to him that me and you do (and many others).

    definitely, i've felt extremely strong moments of connection to... humankind, or, something greater than myself, or, simply being. i agree with soulrebel; it's called being human.
    no particular stories of coincidences, but usually i very simply feel that my entire existence is a coincidence. that could very well be a direct result of ego.


    peace,
    sophia
