Coincidences, Connections, and Synchronicities
Synchronistic events, help us to make the unconscious conscious. We've all experienced an event at some point in our lives, but we may not have recognised it as such. Jungian psychology theory of synchronicity (Carl Jung) helps to understand how this unseen force shapes our spiritual life.
Many people call it chance, but I believe that there is something more going on - something to do with our soul mind.
Greater detail on synchronicities can be found at in2worlds.net.
Some Christians use the term 'God winks' to describe these occurrences ... although, I prefer the more technically correct name of Synchronicity. Whatever you wish to call it, these events certainly extend beyond that of the material/physical realm that we currently understand.
The following examples have all occurred in my life at some point ...
a.) Your email account getting several spam messages in one day - all related to a certain topic - with a hidden meaning.This has happened to myself roughly 10-11 times during the period of 2010-2014.
Considering that, I have paid ISP level spam filtering, and would typically get 1 spam email every 5-7 days.
Examples.
The most recent occurrence was April 2013 - weight-loss/exercise : i received 30+ spam emails in 1 day only on that topic. It was only the day beforehand I kept complaining about "getting fat, and my work pants not fitting" and I broke the button on the pants - a hint from the universe perhaps?
With January 2013, it was regarding dating/love : 1-2 days beforehand I was deciding whether to stay together with my partner or not.
With the one in August 2012 - the hidden message was "your soulmate wants to chat to you".
My astrological horoscope on most of those occasions has also helped me to identify it as a synchronistic event ... as opposed to 'just everyday spam'.
FEB 2018 ... I picked up on this again.
at first I thought it was spam ... almost 2 weeks went by. the intensity increased as the days went by (as well as what the msgs said - and also very specific in nature).
then, I thought it may have been my "1st love" trying to give me some cryptic/indirect hints (as she has done this in the past - including signing my email up to a baby stroller newsletter).
then it clicked ... the email address (I have 30+ different email addresses) that this was coming through was 100% definately not known by my "1st love" ... it then all made sense to me - "the universe" at work in unusual ways.
APRIL 2018 ...
I received 5-6 spam emails from various sources saying "happy birthday" - all within the space of 1 day ... While it wasn't my birthday ... it is important to highlight, I received these emails on the day that i think? is the birthday of my 1st love.
also I have never received spam birthday emails on this day/month in the years prior ... nor have I ever signed up to any (except for ones I've specifically signed up for "on my actual birthday" which is in a completely different month - eg. a restaurant I've been to, etc).
11th MAY 2020 ...
I received a spam email regarding - advertising to buy baby seats for your car ... yet I've never had previous contact with that company, nor have i signed up for any emails with that company before. Similar to FEB 2018, it came through an email address of mine that isn't publically known.
As a side note : I've always wanted to have children right from my early 20's - but my current partner can't have kids.
b.) Clouds forming certain shapes that have a specific meaning only to you.
c.) Radio songs + TV movies ... I for one have had this happen on many occasions.
(eg. the movie 'Just Friends' is always on tv just after having very strong deep emotional thoughts about a particular person)
Feb 2017 ...
A truck/trailer was in front of our view, with the signage "don't be a creep" (referring to speeding while driving).
It was the first time we had seen the trailer with that signage.
I said to my workmates, it'd be interesting if the song that goes "you're a creep, you're a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here" started playing on the radio ... 1-2 minutes later, right at the moment as the trailer started to pull away from us, the song by Radiohead - creep ... started playing on the radio.
d.) The name of a certain person, appearing in unusual places at the unlikeliest of times.
Trying to point you in the correct direction as to your proper spiritual path.
(eg. places/signs/billboards, or maybe a car numberplate at certain moments when driving, or a lunchbox in the work fridge, etc)
e.) Seeing a shooting star, less than 2 seconds after a meaningful thought came into your mind from nowhere (November 2012).
f.) Having a dream, that turns out to be true.
The one that comes to mind, is a dream in which I interacted/spoke with an old work colleague. 2 days after I had this dream, the person emailed me out of the blue to see what I was upto, even though at the time I hadn't seen or heard from him in over a year. Since our friendship didn't end on the best of terms, he was the last person I'd ever expect to get an email from (2011).
Also worth noting, that was the one and only time that person has ever appeared in my dreams. Even when I used to see that person on a daily basis at work, they were never in my dreams ... which makes me think there was some purpose in having that specific dream.
I can also understand from a 'soul perspective' the reason why this person has had an ongoing influence during that time of my life.
Also: there's 4 other instances of dreams similar to the above that have happened between 2011-2016 which add to my suspicions that during the sleep/dream state, it's possible for our soul to interact with the souls of other living people (perhaps dreams are fragments of these interactions???). Why I haven't discussed those happenings is out of respect for those people, as I don't think they would appreciate me discussing the details publically at this stage.
For more on how the sleep/dream state is connected to the 'soul mind' - I suggest reading my page regarding the Astral Plane which includes excerpts from an article pubished within a spiritual magazine that touches on this subject.
Also worth noting, "Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one precognitive dream" - quoted from 15 Interesting Facts about Dreams (proper citation needed).
Such that, having a precognitive dream isn't unheard of, just not often discussed.
Infact - in some of the spiritual/new-age books I've read, the authors openly discuss of having such dreams, and how it shaped their life.
FEB 2018 : I had a dream regarding drug testing at work ...
In the dream, the security guard was talking about high temperatures of the testing samples.
The very next day, I was sent to security (to pick up some cartons from a customer that turned out not to be there at all). While I was at security, I overheard a conversation between a trainee guard and another security guard. The trainee guard thought that he may have picked up on a positive test result. The older guard, then went on to say, the sample was probably a false positive, and may have changed colour due to being warm.
mid APRIL 2018 : I had a dream where I was involved in a car crash ...
the weird part is - i actually "felt" the whiplash/impact - as if the car accident had happened to me in real life.
on the day of the dream, I mentioned it to my team leader at work (saying how unusual it was).
yet, it was only acouple of days later (when speaking to my parents) - I found out that my sister was involved in a minor car accident around the same time that I had the dream, on the same day (she lives on the other side of AU) as well ... certainly a very unusual co-incidence.
g.) The name of the sister of my 1st love (on a package possibly actually destined for her) while at work (March 2013).At work, the 1 day that I happened to load a different trailer than what I normally do - Karratha Town trailer - I saw a package/pallet addressed to someone with the exact same name at a mining company ... Considering that, I don't normally load this trailer/country-town + we had run out of stock to load onto the trailer (hence I went out into the yard to scavenge up anything else I could send).
This happened 3 days before I showed my own sister this website (and introduced her to my alternate life of astrology, synchs, etc).
It may not seem like much to other people ... perhaps it's only a minor synchronous event at play (a synch from the universe to invoke a thought into my mind as to speak to my own sister about all my strange happenings).
h.) Often, when I feel like i'm facing a specific situation all on my own, I get a facebook email saying "you have more friends than you think".This has happened 30+ times from April 2011 to Feb 2014 - a time when I've had few (if any) 'real life' friends.
What makes it synchronous is that I get the email on the same day that I strongly/deeply feel lonely (emotional) and all by myself... and as such, is a reminder to me from the universe that I am never left alone ... as I truly have many friends within the spirit realm.
(note : i stopped paying attention to this synch after Feb 2014, but still noticed it crop up occasionally).
i.) That unusual thing that happened when I fell 'in love' with my 2nd love in 2010 - most probably the biggest sign/synch of the lot.Not only was it a clear sign of what my own soul wanted (and what truly is in the heart of a certain other person) and where my proper spiritual path belongs but the synch was so large it was almost impossible to ignore.
The experience also offered a brief glimpse into the spiritual realm - as well as - proof, that the astral projections (and OBE's) that I'd had over the previous ~8 years weren't simply a hallucination (as science has led us to believe) but had actually been real.
That amazing experience that I had when I fell 'in love' was the flow-on effect from what had occurred during my previous astral projections.
j.) Within 20 secs after I deeply cut my finger + couldn't control the bleeding ... my partner SMS'd me, that she was concerned (May 2013).Almost right after cutting myself (which really should have required a visit to the doctor) my partner (whom I believe I have moved closer to me on the astral/spiritual plane) sent me an SMS asking "Are you alright?". My partner felt a sudden urge to SMS me. She felt like there was something wrong but didn't know exactly what. Was she 'tuned' into something on a deeper level? and could perhaps sense that I wasn't OK???
This is more ESP or intuition at play on my partner's behalf, as opposed to a synch event ...
It raises questions, as to how interconnected at the spiritual/soul level humans are - and the possibility as to that the spirit/soul of others know what we are doing.
Some theories as to how this is possible include :i.)soul vibrations - other souls within the same 'soul group' (or that we have a soul connection - 'romantic love' with) sensing a soulmate's emotions/trouble.ii.) souls being able to 'look in' on what other souls/people are doing (perhaps even their thoughts?).
iii.) collective consciousness.
iv.) a mix of the above, or even something else entirely?
k.) 2 synchs pertaining to a certain person that works up north in Karratha within the space of 24 hours of each other (May 2014).What makes this special, is that only 1-2 days beforehand - I asked the universe a question ... I wanted to know if my future with this certain person was safe (that it would all work out with this person eventually, and if so, should I deviate from my 'soul path' for a brief period).
When these 2 synchs happened, it sort-of caught me off guard as I wasn't expecting it - but it was almost as if the universe was re-assuring me in regards to my future with this person ... Also it felt like the universe was letting me know, that perhaps by deviating from my "soul path" for alittle, it would help for my major "soul plan" to unfold.
l.) While not a synch - it's worth mentioning, as there's some commonalities to my own life story (2014).A workmate is engaged to be married. His partner is sort of 'new-age' (her day-to-day line of work is semi-related to that industry).
She went to see a Clairvoyant, who basically said that her partner (my workmate) was ultimately not the right relationship for her, her true path lies with another man. Of course my workmate didn't take the news very well, he was angry as to how someone could say such things ... but, my workmate doesn't exactly believe in a spiritual realm, or even psychics, etc - so I guess, it would be hard for him to comprehend.
This situation is very similar to the one that 'a certain other person' within my life has found themselves in. So it does relate to my own life, just that I am experiencing it from a different point of view.
As of the beginning of 2016 (the previous part I wrote awhile ago, when my workmate first mentioned it) ...
My workmate has now parted ways with his partner. He is now single ... having moved out, and now living in a house on his own.
Which is somewhat sad, as my workmate is a good, honest hardworking person and deserves the best from life.
But perhaps there's more going on at the spiritual level? at a level that majority of people aren't particularly aware of, but perhaps the Clairvoyant managed to tap into?
If my workmate does happen to read this, I really hope that they aren't offended, I don't intend to offend him ... just that his situation is so uncannily similar to my own, and so I can relate to it ... He is a good person that gives off positive vibes at work.
I hold him in high regard, so I'd never want to get him offside.
m.) Since 2012'ish through the following years - my doorbell has randomally rang ... yet when go to answer, no-one at door.On some occasions, the doorbell sound has played completely out of tune.
Also, sometimes it is between 12am-4am in morning. I look outside, and no people/cars around.
Only 2 neighbours nearby with a remote control garage (yet when look outside, all their house lights are off).
This just happened again today (27th April 2020) ... what makes it significant, is something personal between myself and my 1st love - secondly, the doorbell rang at the precise time that her spirit/soul may have been upset about a certain thing about to happen.

What is said certainly gels with me, and also fits in with what I have personally experienced so far in life.
What is synchronicity?
Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. In order to be synchronous, the events should be unlikely to occur together by random chance.
This is one of many universal laws or truths that can never be proven for sure. And yet, there are far too many stories about people who have had mysterious forces miraculously enter or guide their lives when they least expected it. If we really look at it closely, coincidences in our lives are far too common. As they begin to accumulate over the years, our minds begin to open to new possibilities. That maybe, just maybe, they are more than random happenings.
What is a synchronous event?
It's an experience or circumstance that comes into our life when we least expect it to happen. What sets these mysterious happenings apart is that they are always unplanned and unexpected. A blind date that leads to life partnership, an unexpected phone call that pulls us away from tragedy, a job opportunity that suddenly opens, a gift of money when we need it most, a dream that turns out to be true, an unexpected admissions to a college we never thought would happen, are just a few examples.
These happenings can occur on a large, medium or small scale. I like to think of the large ones as events, which have a major impact on our lives. This can be a long-term relationship with someone, a crippling accident that leads to a life-time challenge, an unexpected book from a friend that opens up a life-changing spiritual quest for us, and so on.
The medium synchronous events are more for course corrections that lead us to the major ones or help the major ones unfold smoothly and successfully. For example, an unexpected salary bonus (medium) that allows us to take a vacation (medium) during which we find a lifetime partner (major), or a new business venture, (major) or decide to change jobs and move to another part of the country (major), are a few examples. The small events are more for fine-tuning the whole process and are also very important.
Curiously, these unexpected gifts of guidance often drop in out of the universe to influence our thoughts or impact the direction that our lives may take when we least expect them. Whenever this happens, our free will is never violated in the process. While in body, we always have the choice to react to these events, regardless of size, the way we want to.
Where do these events come from? How do they happen? Why do they happen? Do they have a purpose? What is the force that makes them happen?
- - Nothing happens by accident in God's universe or our lives.
- - Thus, there is no such thing as a coincidence.
- - Prior to coming to this planet we create a life-plan.
- - That plan is made with free will. Nobody forces it on us.
- - Our life-plan is made after we review our previous lives and experiences.
- - The more evolved we are the more our life-plan centres around spiritual growth and service to others.
- - We may want to learn patience, forgiveness, compassion, during our next life.
- - Or we may want to experience being blind, poor, rich, etc.
- - Our guardian angels/spirit guides know our plan.
- - Synchronous events often come when we least expect them.
- - That's what makes them synchronous.
- - When an unexpected event occurs, we still react to each with free will.
- - It is also possible to overrule parts or all of our plan while on Earth.
- - However, overruling our original plan is not the wisest choice. It creates confusion in our lives.
- - Certain events will occur in our lives when we planned for them to happen.
- - While in body we are constantly making choices and creating our reality.
- - This too is done with free will.
- - And yet, there is "something" going on in the background of life.
- - This something provides the guidance we need for our plan to unfold.
- - This influence is happening at a higher level and for good purpose.
- - That purpose is to keep us on course as it relates to our earthly plan.
- - Another purpose is to provide us ongoing guidance in our lives.
- - Many events also make us happy such as finding past-lifetime friends.
- - If we ask Spirit (and our angels) for guidance, the help is sure to come.
- - We need to learn how to listen for and to the guidance.
- - Pay special attention to any event or clue that happens three or more times.
- - Look for patterns and repeated themes within the event(s).
- - Often times the messages we receive are symbolic and we need to decipher them.
- - If things fall into place, as if by magic, most likely you're on the right path.
- - If you meet resistance or dead-ends, reconsider the choice you have made.
Here's a simple way to look at past events that have mysteriously come into your life as unplanned or unexpected experiences. These events may have been based upon some form of guidance such as a strong hunch, a powerful or compelling thought that came into your mind, a voice that spoke to you, a dream that you had, a synchronous event, and so on.
Draw a line across a piece of paper. This is your life time-line. Let's say it represents the past 20 years of your life. Go to the beginning (to the left of the line). Put a mark through the line and an event underneath the mark that had a major impact on your life or the direction it took. And, most importantly, came about unexpectedly, without your planning it. Do this until you reach current time. Then think about how it all came to be.
A hypothetical time-line might be...
- - you are suffering from an unrewarding and abusive marriage (1990)
- - you get divorced (1991)
- - you lose your job (1991)
- - you are in major crisis (1991)
- - everything you do to try to find a new job doesn't work out (guidance can often be through negative experiences and events)
- Then...
- - a book given to you by a friend leads to a radical spiritual awakening (1992)
- - unexpectedly an old friend calls, a wonderful job opens in Arizona (1993)
- - you interview for job, it goes well and you are hired (1993)
- - you move to Arizona (1993)
- - everything goes smoothly for you (guidance that you are on the right path)
- Then...
- - a blind date in Arizona leads to a fulfilling relationship and life-time partnership (1994)
- - and so on
When we reflect on the unexpected events and guidance that comes into our lives on a regular basis, these kinds of divine, mysterious experiences should truly make us think and wonder what's behind them.
One can take this simple exercise a bit further by isolating one of the major events in your life and then reconstructing the medium and minor events that helped the major one fall into place and unfold smoothly.
Whenever we ask Spirit or our angels for guidance in our lives, whether it has to do with a relationship, a job, a failing marriage, sickness, etc. the answer will come. That is guaranteed.
Look for clues, patterns and things that seem to materialize out of nowhere, but are related to your question. Look for messages that are symbolic, or the words of a song that pop up after asking God or your angels a question. Watch out for an unexpected phone call, finding an old letter or picture, actually hearing a voice in your head, a dream that is related to your question, a vision that appears in your head while meditating, are a few examples. Be alert for medium or major synchronous events that unexpectedly unfold.
Always keep in mind that, when things go smoothly and fall into place, you have most likely made the right choice and the right event has come into your life. When our decisions or efforts run into resistance or roadblocks, seriously re-examine the choices you have made or the false alarm, guiding event that has come into your life. Correct guidance is always loving and has our best interests in mind. The wrong guidance generally arouses feelings of fear or guilt.
Hopefully, all of this makes you think and wonder about these magnificent ways that not only guide and influence our lives, but also help us understand our life-plan.
We are never left alone. Never.
