Synchronicity is a term, the credit for which is attributed, I believe, to James Redfield, of Celestine Prophecy fame. It refers to the tendency of life to sort of 'bring things together' every once in a while, dropping little coincidences all over the place that seem to steer you in some unforseen direction. (like fate)
Do you believe in it? I'm the sort to maintain a skeptical but open mind - willing to go either way on presentation of suitable evidence.
But weird stuff like this always happens to me. I study life, history, science, etc. but my subject of study at any given time seems to always be handed to me on a plate, almost as though some devine teacher-god is telling me what it wants me to learn!
An example: I am not interested in America as a subject of study, and even less so am I interested in American politics. Hell, I don't even like British politics! But then there was this audio book sat on my hard drive that's been there for months. I didn't even know what it was. It was called "Stupid White Men".
Then the other day I happened to be out of my routine, accompanying my sister-in-law to a shop I don't usually go. In there I noticed a book, the sequel to Stupid White Men. I read the blurb, and it seemed quite interesting.
But then I forgot about it again until yesterday, when I was decorating. I put some music on, but couldn't decide what to play so I got it to scan my hard drive and play any audio files. Then it starts playing "Stupid White Men" and so I decided to listen. I was hooked. It was/is fascinating.
Then the next day I am chatting on volconvo, discussing space-time physics, and someone posts me a link to an explanation of the nature of light. I followed the link but then went straight to the root of the domain (
www.nobeliefs.com) and found the most obvious link on the page, right at the top, was a link to "bushflash.com" and I thought it might be funny, like those South-Park flash movies you sometimes see online.
Instead it was a whole huge movement devoted to Bush's downfall and exposing the exact same truths as are outlined in Stupid White Men!
Am I reading too much in to this, or is someone trying to tell me I should study the absolute corruption that is the Bush administration?
