Geelong......so sad :(
Hey, so I've taken my share of psychedelics and recreational drugs and one of the main problems that I have been faced with is when two worlds collide and you are left in the middle between your struggling ego and a much larger force of supernature.

Now, I have lived for 29 years and Ithink that I basically know what's what in as far as my connection to my world and how I fit into it. However there are times when I can feel the changes in the surrounds of peoples actions and emotions and it's like I can see that things are moving in such a way that I will end up in a place in time and space where the outside world will mimic almost exactly my inside world. Where people will be coversing in words that go along exactly with my train of thought, where inanimate objects will have been placed unknowingly 3 months ago into a position where they will be taken into account as relevant to defining my thought construct.

I don't quite know how to explain it without sounding way too kooky even for these forums, and don't get me wrong it doesn't happen all the time however when it does happen my main problem is this......I try to be a Christian, I admire the ethics and rules that the bible sets out. I have no problem with there being a higher authority than man who can make rules for me to follow, and I am glad to believe that such an authority would give me free will to choose for myself. But when extremely synchronis (sp?) circumstances present to me in such a way that I am forced to take notice it makes me feel that I have no free will. It makes me think that I am just a pawn in the scheme of things and I worry about where I am headed if I am not heading in a direction of my choosing.

A small example of this is yesterday I downloaded a John Lennons of "Imagine" and as the song was playing I began to think about the various social and spiritual ideals of the song, specifically the first parts about no heaven and no possesions. I was thinking on the WTC and the reasons that abound about the nature of the attack and the misinformation about things like the alleged planned demolition and the plumes of smoke that shoot out of the buildings and the decision to "pull tower 7". Now as I am doing this I point my webrowser to the video site www.dumpalink.com and I see there is a new video on the first page about WTC "squibs" ahhhhh.....I thought, here I am thinking about it and.....well let's just pause Lennon for a second and see what's up wit dis.

So I clicked da link http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1152443647/911_WTC_squibs

oooooohhh YOU BASTARD!!!! Those ominous first chords are unmistakeable no matter who covers this song. Yes, the APC version of "Imagine" is played over the montage of footage.




Yeah, so that was the only thing really that I can think of lately, what do you guys think about synchro's in your lives if you have them? How do you deal with it? How do you think it relates to the origin from a source not of your own choosing?

I view events, such as you described, as inevitable coincidences considering the vast amount of actions that take place, and the many thoughts that go through ones mind, every single day.

Personally, I find the more I meditate and quiet my mind, the more synchronicity I experience.
I'd say this is because a quieter mind has more capacity for reflection of everyday events thus increasing the likelihood of a correlation between thought(s) and action(s).

Synchronicity was quite awe inspiring before i began my recreational activities and then even more so during, but once my trips began taking turns for the worse, paranoia and depression gave synchronicities an ominous and fearsome association which i battle to this day.
Luckily, i've been able to keep busy, get healthy and subsequently bring much happiness to my life so the battle aint so hard anymore, but once in a while i'll get that dreaded feeling of escapist meanings and purposes to them which seem to completely undermine this existence. It's not very nice, cuz it's completely insane.
I hope that one day i can be cleansed of this association, so once again i can take in the awe without fear of backlash.
 
I get these a lot on psychedelics and to a minor degree when I'm sober. I try not to put too much stock in them because I realize that on drugs your associations are loosened and things that otherwise wouldn't be meaningful stick out sharply in your mind. Sometimes these associations are usefull, a lot of the times they're junk. The problem is that if things like this don't happen, you don't notice their absence, so its likely that if you compared how often things don't line up like this compared to how often they do, there wouldn't be much significance.

As for your WTC video, it would be a lot more interesting if you were listening to some totally obscure death metal song and it was in the video too. Imagine talks about isses that surround 9/11, so its not that much of a stretch to hear it in a video about that. You wouldn't have even clicked on the link had you not been listening to the song in the first place.
still, when stuff like this happens it can make you doubt a rational explanation its definitely a weird feeling. I guess you just have to figure out how much importance you want to put on these events, keeping in mind that schizophrenics experience a lot of this ;)

No, you see I didn't know before I clicked on the link that there was even going to be a song playing over the clip because it came from here http://www.dumpalink.com/index and as you can see there are just thumbnails to respresent the movie that the link points to.

It was just a coincidence.........as Ripley would say......"Believe it.....(draw in ominous breath through your teeth).......or not!" 8o
 
oh, i thought you meant that you only clicked on the link because you were already thinking about it.
 
its one of those things, i sometimes will pull out my cell phone at work to check the time and it starts ringing a second later. or you think about someone you haven't seen in awhile and all of a sudden they are back in your life.

i love that aspect of synchronicity. its like your mind is pointing you in the direction of what is on the horizon, whether you choose to explain it in supernatural or scientific terms.

on the other hand, synchronicity can border on paranoia, self obsession and magical ideation if left unchecked. sometimes you need to "test reality" and think about the different reasons why something could or could not be consensual reality.

interesting topic.
 
synchronicities are a very powerful experience. it is the first thing that opened my eyes up to "something"

yes, drugs are responsible for altering your ability to judge the importance, since everything seems so damn important when you are on them...but it is like a window opens, and they don't stop.

like jerry says, you need to keep them in check, and test reality. and when you do, and these events still occur somewhat magically, it is interesting to say the least
 
i was just witness to a a medium sized spider walking in front of my computer screen, and as it walked behind it, it suddenly triggered off a little web, and then suddenly a deadly attack by a much smaller spider. pretty cool......
 
i went to a yankees game last year, and they got beat by visitor last place tampa bay. haaaha

and the vikes whooped up on the giants! loved that game.....(just kidding - we barely won that one)
 
while i am a realist-- and i can rationalize that these 'synchronistic' events that REPEATEDLY occur in one form or another as 'inevitable coincidence,' i choose not to, anymore.

i think there might even be some scientific explenation behind it.. im not very clever in that area tho, so i cant be sure.

btw, i was listening to APC, 'imagine,' when i clicked this thread. =D
