Hi,

This is my first Real thread (minus the introduction bit)

I am 26, Relativley down to earth and a little bit of a conspiracy nut (sometimes)
i like to think im relativley well educated in the ways of the world, i follow science and i work in IT,

Thats some background before i ask this question....
Can people tell me more about syncronicity? can you force it? can you test it? does it happen between certain people and not others or is it a worldly conciousness,

Simple things, like knoing my cousin is trying to phone me before the phone rings, knowing my son has woken up before he crys (waking up at the same time as him) Solving an issue in IT whilst a work colleage is doing the same job and the same fix somewhere else. i know these things are quite simple things but they happen so frequently now it wierds me out...

The reason i started noticing was me my girlfriend and two friend were sitting in my house, we were talking about old TV we used to watch, there was a program i couldnt remeber the name of but could give a brief description, it was in a shopping centre in australia... there was like a paralel universe, it was maybe through a game show or similar, generally a bit strange but not the program called tribe and it was on channel four in the uk,

i went to the toilet and when i came back my mates were searching online for it and had found someone ask almost word for word the same question/description as me, on a website for glassblowing,stained glass somthing equally as strange as that anyway, some crafts based website so it was totally off topic and somthing i would never be near, but it was posted the exact same day, with the same description and same reason for wanting to know it (just remebering old tv programs) it was writtem with breaks many exclamation marks and general disorganisation, essentially my mates thought i had posted it....

since that day a few months ago i have been interested in the topic because, what are the chances of that happening, but more importantly with such a strange random topic, why would the same query come up on the same day??

then when you see the pyramids built in diffrent countries all over the world it makes me wonder... is it so hard to believe they all though it at once... or at least at kind of the same time... if me and a stranger somewhere else in the uk can ask people we know about a program form the 90's from channel 4 with no prompt for it anywhere could other people wonder the same thing at the same time, or did somthing trigger a memory, a song... a screenshot... a meme somthing that i didnt process but my brain did, and his did too?

anyway any thoughts on these things would be great as it certainley gave me alot to think about.

Well first of all at the age of 26 you don't know anything about the world. Your still a baby


Second of all here's a good link of a study that was done...you might glean some knowledge from it that helps

enjoy:

I used to be obsessed with synchronicity when I was in my college years, and it got to the point where it was happening so regularly that I became overwhelmed and nearly went off the deep end into New Agedness. Now that I'm a little older and a bit more sober, I don't notice it happening very much, if at all. I'm not sure if that is because it only happens when you look for it, or if I was just crazier then than I am now. I know that doesn't help you very much, but thought I would share anyway.

I find synchronicity happens more when I am not looking for it. And it happens in spells, meaning ebbs and flows in occurrences.
Had a funny one just the other day. Was in a conversation with my brothers, in visiting for the holiday. One mentioned I usually pick the Long Way Home, ie for scenic pleasure or procrastination or whatever reasons. I was taking the country road back to my home about 20 mi away, instead of the interstate, and on the radio, what do you guess plays? Eagles, Long Way Home. Shew, all I could do was smile inside, cause my mate was with me cause it was lost on him. Nevermind, I was keeping that one all to myself, uh till now.

It's well accounted for in the holomovement physics model. If you haven't already, pick up a book by Bohm, Pibram, or even Talbot (two physicists and a researcher). While there are mechanisms that justify synchronicity, it's unknown (unproven) as to what its purpose is.

Oh, and don't ever ask a statistician about synchronicity. It defies math just as other truths they hate, like "gamblers fallacy".

In the real universe, there is no way to predict the outcome of ones actions, thus there is no "free will" and we are able to act spontaneously and be ourselves.

Hi im new to ATS and I just posted my Intro about why I joined. I joined because I had a case of Sleep Paralysis and recently(5 minutes ago) someone made a new thread about Sleep paralysis. I don't know how often threads like that get posted but the timings too close to be coincidence

I have been feeling the same thing for over 2 years now. I feel like i have a connection with my older brother that is unexplainable. He is 23 and I'm 17 and we both were born on May 26. I always thought it was coincidence but til now we both feel like we have some kind of bond. Me and him think very a like and have gone through many similar problems in our life. For example we always speak out the same exact thing "word for word" out of the bloom. this has been happening more and more while time goes by. is it possible that our thoughts or mind can be connected?

he is my step-brother, and have the same dads. i will post on more detailed example later on when they happen.

If you want to learn about synchronicity, read and study the I-Ching. Start with the forward by Carl Jung or his original pamphlet on Synchronicity, he was the one who coined the term and concept.
