In 1972 I got in trouble in Science class. The teacher had meet write a 500 word essay on a drop of water. Being the clown I personified a drop of water that wanted to go to Hawaii. Fast forward to 1988, I had the opportunity to move to Hawaii, I was having doubts. I prayed for a sign, I found the paper from science class about a drop of water that fell out of the clouds onto The Hawaiian islands.

Many years ago I was working as a researcher/AP on a TV documentary, and the director wanted to use a 30 second piece of music that would have used up our entire music budget. So, I was stressing out in negotiations with EMI, who would not budge on price. At the same time, I kept getting phone calls from a woman I didn't know, saying she had heard about this documentary and wanted to see it, even before it was broadcast, because she felt it ressonated with her life. I kept fobbing her off. But, 24 hours before the show was about to go air, I was in meltdown, because the director had sent off the package including the music he wanted, even though we still didn't have the rights! I was sweating blood when my phone rang and it was this same woman. At the end of my tether I said to her, "Listen, unless you are sleeping with (the musician in question), please stop calling me." And she said, "Well, as a matter of fact he's my boyfriend, we just recorded an album together." I explained the situation to her, she rang her boyfriend, he rang EMI and we got the rights to the music, within budget, only 10 hours before it went to air. Phew!

When my ❤heart-dog died, (I had to put her down), I was devastated and it felt like I was losing my daughter or someone very close. A few days afterward, I went for a walk around the block with my two other dogs at the usual time in the later afternoon, and I saw the most beautiful rainbow. Somehow I knew it was Tweet, my ❤dog, sending me a message that she’d made it to the other side and she was fine. It was somehow strangely comforting, even if it was just in my imagination. I felt it was her.

I love that now, finally, there are more people in the scientific community who are embracing the mysteries of life and the necessity of using our intuition/right brains rather than dismissing everything as crazy. Bravo!!

I was driving home and kept hearing a noise from my tire. I decided to pull over to check it out. All my tires were fine and clear. As I was driving off I seen a woman pulled over at an odd angle. I asked if she needed help. She was out of gas with 3 young kids in the back. I was able to get her some gas and get her back on the road. Whatever was hitting my tire led me to stop leading to helping this mom. Love moment like this in life.

This happened yesterday: I was making coffee when the Jimi Hendrix song "Fire" came into my head. I started singing it without thinking. It's a song I neither particularly like nor dislike, and had not thought of Jimi Hendrix or his music for years. Nor had I heard any of his music recently. On my way to work after drinking the coffee, I came across a crate of vinyl LPs that someone had left on the sidewalk. The record in front was a Hendrix record with that song on it!

My retirement date was ‘serendipity’ on steroids. Long story, short: I was furloughed during Covid, from my job. I was one of 95 out of 250 in our department furloughed. One by one, they were ‘let go’ over a period of months. My turn came, but I was offered a ‘return to work’. I had a few days to think about it. I decided to quit, so my boss said to write a formal letter. Just ‘so happened’ that the last day of my 2 week ‘notice’ happened to fall on the same day I was hired, exactly 25 years prior! I had always wanted to get close to this anniversary day, and without any planning, I finished 25 years to the exact day! God has a sense of humor.

I talk with trees, I thought I was a nut job, now I know someone else does , cheers fella 🤙🦘

I feel so validated after watching this because this level of consciousness is rare to find so when I stubble onto like minded people that is both fascinating and comforting.Thank you!

When my husband and I were deciding where to move out west 25 yrs ago, we pulled over on i-90 and saw 3 rainbows in the valley in front of the Bighorns at Buffalo, Wyoming. We ended up moving there 3 yrs later. In addition, we made that decision sitting in Bozeman Steakhouse in Buffalo. The summer we were moving from MD, our house sold quick and we moved in with my parents. They were driving me crazy and I told my husband, who was a Planner for MDOT, that we needed to get out quickly. He called the next day and said he got a job as Mgr over the phone at Bozeman Steakhouse! He'd never worked outside govt in his life. We left the next day. Everything has been sychronistic since we've moved here ❤️

In high school I had a boyfriend who ended up moving away to a different country. He was the first boy I had feelings for and I was sad over him leaving. A year later I am walking in the hallway of my school to go to the bathroom. I actually walked to a bathroom on the opposite side of my school because I wanted a little walking break from class. I saw a card on the floor and picked it up because small things like letters mean a lot to me and I would want someone to return something like that to me no matter how small because of the sentimental value. I read the card to figure out who it belonged to and didn't think anything of it. I read it again later in the day and realized it was a goodbye card for the boyfriend I had and was written over a year ago, before he had moved to a new country. To me, I felt it was a message from the universe to accept the goodbye and move on...so strange!

My son went to do a 7 day singing gig on a cruise ship named Azura. I accidentally wrote the name down as Azuma and when I tried to track the ship on a cruise ship mapping app, I couldn’t find it. The next day I ordered some chords for my garden chairs online and coincidentally the supplier was named Azuma. I burst out laughing at the coincidence. My son told me that they had a technical issue and the music track failed during their performance. I’ve probably never come across the name Azuma in my life, yet twice in two days.

I wanted to go to a well-known Festival but the tickets were almost impossible to get and the event was a very long drive away. There were several bizarre coincidences that allowed me to go and then many happened while I was there. For a period of 2-3 months, I kept having incredible postive coincidences that allowed many dreams to come true. I think it was the universe saying you are in the right place at the right time.

Went to a new church on palm Sunday. Wasn't in a good place emotionally. Lit a candle asking for a sign. Congregation gathered in lobby for palm blessings. Across the crowd I saw my first love from 30years earlier. I had walked away heartbroken because I was overwhelmed about stuff that had happened. I didn't speak to him about it. After mass we had a long chat and I updated him. He'd hadn't been given a important message. He was so apologetic We had a big hug and there were tears. What a weight lifted from me. Prayer answered in less than 5mins.

I’ve never knowingly met someone born on the same day and year as me, except when I was at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. A guy standing in the same spot in the holy of holies, a rabbi asked us if we wanted free food and accommodation by attending yeshiva. Found out he was born on the same day and year as me. And I was looking to experience Jerusalem. My spiritual brother. Me from London, UK and he from New Jersey, USA. We’ve visited each other, spent time together and kept in touch for 30yrs. Similar souls as well. I’ve had about 5 other incredible coincidences also. Beyond coincidences. To me, it's God

So, I had 2 meaningful coincidences in my life that brought closure to mental and spiritual issues I’d been having. My belief is that my God/higher power/universe was involved in bringing these events into my life. They involved a person that I had deep unresolved feelings about (an ex boyfriend). It was only when I was finally happy in my life, about to get engaged, and mentally and spiritually healthy, and independent, that I saw him for the first time in 12 years. The scene: A NYC Subway train pulls up, he is sitting right in front of the doors. I take a deep breath and happily greet him. We have a great conversation, and he knows I’m happy looking good and steady in life. And I learned the same about his life. The second time was when I was wedding ring shopping with my fiancé. We bumped into him on the street and had a chat. These meaningful coincidences were so healing for me, and I am forever grateful for them.

Today I felt inspired to pick up a piece of folded paper from the floor outside. When I unfolded the paper, it had my name on it. 😊Definitely the Creator talking to me🙏👍

My heart melts with all these comments ❤❤❤❤

Interesting, thank you. The best comprehensive theory of meaningful coincidence I have seen is Steven Romer’s “The Textbook of the Universe: the Genetic Ascent to God”, where he has made a new methodology to experimentally study and organize coincidence as the primary evidence for the larger theory he presents. Later I read Gary Schwartz’s book which uses a modified version of the technique and names the most complex synchronicities (which Romer also ranks) as “Supersynchronicity” I like how Bernard Beitman in this video emphasized the ESP aspect and the significance of trees-because Gary Schwartz talks about meaningful Coincidence as evidence for an afterlife and Steven Romer talks about trees extensively as an example of the larger theory of the nature of meaning and life. So there’s a definite coincidence between these 3 synchronicity researchers!! ❤ (Romer is from 20 years ago and neither cite his work or each other so it’s an actual coincidence). ❤❤❤😳 But still, both of these later researchers would do well to read Romer. I would absolutely love to see a discussion about what they think. I think Romer’s title turns people off-but The word god is used very differently in the book, a more modern version of the idea and reminds me of Spinoza in that. Romer left graduate school to write the book after 4 years instead of doing a dissertation and it shows, (he obviously left because he was onto something-I think he had the correct interpretation) so it’s actually pretty legit objective stuff. I hope my comment helps someone out there. People who research synchronistic and meaningful things should recognize themselves as ❤synchronized❤ and help each other and cite each other’s work more. It’s frustrating for me, yes, but I also think that would enhance all our lives, all our understanding immensely. There’s definitely something showing up between these three people… 🤔👁Thank you again for this wonderful interview ❤🙏🏻 I hope this comment “synchronistically” helps someone-even though that apparently isn’t a word… yet! 😂 Ps. I found Romer’s book free on “Academiadotcom” research website if you are on that.

My best friend went into labor recently and I had labor pains all night. I text her and asked if the baby was coming and she confirmed. Now post partum for her, I’m losing hair like I just had a baby 🙃 I also took my niece out for a walk grounding her and hugging trees to help her overcome her cold that was coming on. That night I felt I took on her cold and had a terrible headache. It was gone by morning Makes me wonder if we can take on ailments for loved ones.

Here’s my story: at the beginning of nursing school i wanted out, but am not a quitter. I wanted to have to leave not of my own choice. There were a series of incidences that points were supposed to be taken from my scores and then then they were restored for various reasons, so i thought it was my destiny to be a nurse. I settled in and got through most of nursing school til 8 weeks before graduation when i went on a motorcycle ride with a friend. On that ride i kept having this internal screaming to turn around and go home, but i ignored it. On our way down the hill in this canyon, i lost control of my bike and hit a guard rail. I broke my wrist and because no assistive devices are allowed in clinical, i had to take a medical leave. 😢 i worked so hard, but now a few years later, I’m not a fan of western medical practices and have always wanted to be involved with wellness. I’ve chosen to become a personal trainer and would like to work with nutrition. Again, not western medical influences, but always seeking alternative ways. I am on this path now and I’ll see how it unfolds.

At nearly 78 years old, having been a student/teacher of metaphysics since the 80s, and a daily observer of my experience of "reality," I experience in moments of clear Presence, Awakeness, that whatever I perceive within me (my 'state', vibration, feeling) is matched wholly by what I'm perceiving 'out there': and the idea of "law of attraction" is as good an explanation as any, anyone has conceived, to explain how Mystery/Source uses a Universal Manager (LOA) to bring into our physical experience, matches between the essence of what I am Being: As within, so without. --EVERY MOMENT IS SYNCHRONOUS, CO-INCIDENT, SERENDIPITOUS: and when I am open, Heart-Present, that is both ordinary and extraordinary, awesome. Randomness? Chaos? The experience of no perception of no Order. Awakening? Both chaos and order, seen as meaningful creation between 'me' and Source. --Ok, 'nuff. Thanks to all for the discussion.

I know the plant and tree communication sounds a little 😵‍💫cray cray & I would not believe it if it had not happened to me. My mother was out of town and asked me to water her plethora of plants. I was a bit annoyed because it takes about an hour to do so, but I started enjoying it. It was almost meditative. On the third or fourth day of watering I noticed that they were telling me when to stop watering them 😂or if they needed more. Believe me I know how crazy this sounds but when my mom got home, she said they look better than they ever had and I was like that’s because they talk to me and she thought I was totally cuckoo.

My fav personal sync story to date… became unwell found herb as medicine … found out about canna community… won two tickets to an event… got a sticker from a person that made herb medicine …. Stuck it on my iPad case … the only sticker on there … lost it … got ripped off by someone for oil … the person who’s sticker it was found out and gifted me a lot of plant medicine 💚 were now friends AMAZINGGGGGGG

People who have had life after death experiences, mention how we are all connected to each other, animals, and even plants on some energetic, sentient way.

I live in a large 224 unit condo developement with a mailroom where I find just what I need left on the counterto by other residents I never met.. Must be 30 times now. Its proof to me of a higher loving being who responds to my thoughts.

I have coincidences a lot with my Dads passing and certain numbers that come up. Most recent was Sept 2 which was my Dads birthday. So that morning I had been thinking about him. I went to the corner store as I usually do and my total was $19.94….the year he died. It was so weird I said it out loud to my lady friend ..cashier.

We can communicate with other species. My beloved dog was dying. The vet gave him one injection to relax him before euthanasia. The vet said "he wont leave you until you let him go because of the great bond between you two". I told my dog he should go and I'd be okay. On saying this, his beautiful heart stopped. The vet, was quite shocked , as she didnt have to euthanase him. This is true. The bonds we have with all species can be strong if we are willing to love them and be open to listen and care

My most recent coincidence: the week before Sinead O'Connor died I dreamt that Sinead O'Connor died. I wasn't thinking about her and I wasn't listening to her music. The next morning I told my husband and we agreed that it was random I would dream with her and about her dying. When I heard the news through a friend I just couldn't believe it. I was in total shock. The thought that immediately came to me was to ask her why did she come to me in my dreams? RIP Sinead

While crossing the High Street in my home town I saw a young girl walking along the the path I was crossing to. She immediately reminded me of a friend's daughter who I hadn't seen for a number of years. The resemblance was so remarkable I paused and watched her as she walked away. I then turned round to resume my journey and the first person walking towards me was my friend's daughter!

I am 79 years old. The synchronisiyies Ive experienced in my 70th decade of human experience, 72,73,74,76,77,78,79 correspond to healing from traumas that happened at age 2,3,4,5,6,7 8,9. It began to be obvious to me at age 77. They were souritual emotional and healing to my body soul and spirit.Im looking forward to what my 80th decade will my bring to me from the cosmic consciousnes decade will

I was 32 years old and desperately wanted a baby, as a child growing up it's all I ever wanted, but my partner wasn't that interested and along with medical issues with me the chances of having a baby was slim and I was getting older. I used to write diaries as it made me feel better and I remember pleading with God to give me a baby and I said I'd do anything for one . Anyway fast forward a year or two and here I am with my baby...I happened to find that diary and was reading through the pages and I read my desperate plea with God and I happened to look at the date and it was the 4th of February that I wrote it and that's my daughter birthday I was so blown away.

Maybe many people have these notions, but fear what others will think. So many can't be honest, or aren't brave enough to be themselves. After you learn that what others think, is meaningless, you might be able to be yourself, but still only with receptive people. Sometimes spiritually connected people are just connected for a brief time due to the needs of one. When their sadness subsides, they can even be shockingly gruff with you, so that their fears of losing their minds can be squelched. Some realities aren't for everyone, for a longer amount of time.

Trees, plants,animals, water, rocks, & clouds 😌 (sometimes individually and sometimes all as one)

Bernie nails it again. He's been a voice of clarity and reason for decades. ty 4 vid.

I read a book about this topic called synchronicity the bridge between mind and matter... great book with excellent insight into reality, consciousness and how the universe truly works. The quote there are no coincidences in life rings many bells.

hunting for coincidences also develops intuition. At some point, you realize that, for example, this situation needs to be recorded. And a year later you understand what it was and why. The mosaic can take shape at any time. I understood some of the records even after a few years. And now I und erstand that time for the absolute is just one of the coordinates. And now if I think that I need to fix something for myself, then I do it. Because at some point it may be part of the puzzle. I've come across this many times. It's an amazing experience. As if through them you communicate with yourself through time, both with the past or with the future 🙃🤯

Weird coincidence: my sister was at university in Brighton, England, and had a friend there from Eastern Europe. My sister went to work in the U.S. for the summer, and befriended a co-worker there, who was also from the same country in Eastern Europe as her friend back in England. It turned out that the two Eastern Europeans were closely related to each other. I sh*t you not.... it was totally random, an astronomical coincidence.

Luck, chance, coincidence and random are all illusions because everything happens for a reason. Death is also an illusion because energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transmute.

This guy is awesome. "We've all got a job to do" toward the end had me cracking up pretty good. Thanks for the time of the both of y'all for this.

While driving down the road in Washington State, the trees we’re speaking to me. My friend called and asked what was taking me so long? My response was, the trees were talking to me! If you pay attention, energy speaks to you. ✌🏽❤️

Trees communicate to us if we allow them to. They give us messages which help us and guide us towards creating a fulfilled life.

I love this talk so much! Spirituality is where I shine, and I can totally relate to everything both of you talked about including talking to trees. We have a group here in Indianapolis and in that group we talk about all kinds of things spiritual and what you have talked about are what we call ‘spirit stories.’ I would say moving from Brooklyn to Miami and meeting the guy that gets your kids in the right school and all that is Divine Guidance. and if we pay attention it’s all around us. I have a very good story that is a perfect example of this. In May 2021 without knowing what was bothering my shoulder and in pain that was an 11 out of 10 I visited several orthopedists. Finally, when all of the treatments they could think of didn’t work my doctor called the Director of orthopedics at Methodist Hospital. He said send her down to the emergency room. I have just the doctor that I think can take a look at her and figure out what’s going on. That doctor!s name was Yohan Jang and he is one of the very few doctors in Indianapolis that could have taken on my case successfully. I had two huge pus pockets in my shoulder and was rapidly growing septic. It was memorial day weekend and the hospital wanted to send me home and schedule my surgery for the following Tuesday. If that had happened, I would’ve died. Dr. Jang knew I was an emergency. He performed the surgery and I have made a full recovery. Two days after my surgery, he left on vacation. But the best part was waking up in the PCU to realize I was blessed to be in the care of the best nurse I have ever had. His name was Sam (not his real name,) and I was only cared for by him for three days. His kindness overwhelmed me. He prayed with me. I ask people. ‘who does that?’ Not very many people. I wasn’t able to express my gratitude while I was still in the hospital as I was transferred down to a different floor, and no longer had contact with him. But about a month or so later I decided to contact a patient representative because I wanted to get a hold of him and tell him how much I appreciated his caring and dedication. That person emailed a nurse manager on the floor where Sam worked. He was able to set up a meeting between us. That’s only half of this beautiful story. Turns out nurse manager Alex (not his real name) lives in my neighborhood. Now this is Indianapolis and we both live in the same neighborhood in Fishers Indiana? We have lots of suburbs and lots of neighborhoods within each of those suburbs. I can’t even fathom the odds… As we started to talk after that meeting, there were many more synchronicity’s. I have two paper boxes in my closet with some jewelry in them that I’ve had for more than 30 years. They have embossed on them ‘Sloan Jewelry.’ Turns out Alex’s daughter’s name is Sloan and she has a jewelry business. Also he and I both had cats named Toby . His birthday is on my mother-in-law’s birthday, which was also my Nana’s birthday. When I met with with them in Alex’s office, I gave Sam a picture that I took (I’m a photographer) of Antelope Canyon which is my church. Antelope Canyon happens to be located in Page Arizona. Alex ‘s wife’s name is Paige. I know he was a brother from a past life. We are the same age difference now that we were then. He died when he was 15 in that life. If you add one and five together it’s a six. He was 60 when we met. There are so many sixes in dates and birthdates, including years , it’s almost unbelievable. I could go into details about when we both built our houses and what years etc. but a shorter example is having stepped out of the shower after talking to him one day and noticing a box of medical supplies that I had brought upstairs. The numbers on it were 222 - a six. Aside from the many synchronicity‘s that we share we also have a lot of common interests, including being in nature, gardening and birdwatching. Divine Guidance led me to my brother. If I hadn’t been at that particular hospital on that particular date when Sam was available ( he had just returned from a 14 week traveling job ) and not had a chance to thank him while I was there, I never would’ve met Alex. In addition we had planned the meeting for Friday when Dr. Jang holds clinic. It turned out that Sam wasn’t going to be available that day. But then I got a call from another Alex, who said Dr. Jang was changing clinic to the following Tuesday. Guess what? Sam was available on that Tuesday. To make this even better it’s been two years ago today that I met Alex and thanked Sam and today I watched your beautiful video discussing this subject! It just increases my faith that we are all connected - we are all one. We just need to notice. You don’t necessarily have to look for it but just notice what’s around you. Notice license plate letters and numbers, colors, animals, your dreams, and sales receipts - notice RU-vid videos 😊 thanks so much for talking about this and thank you Spirit for guiding me to this video. ❤

They claimed they were all coincidences until I caught on to what they did.

I was recently driving for Uber and this one street i went down it was amazing! I felt strongly that the trees were hugging me! And then last week i was walking home in a pretty strong wind. Suddenly i was tickled, like delighted (not like tickling my feet) i felt like the breeze was FLIRTING with me! I believe these things because ive always been in tune and longing for nature. And at 53, my spiritual path has led me here. Both were awesome - im fortunate to have been open to this reality and able to acknowledge it 😊

Great convo... Thank you both! The cosmic connection conversations... Love them all as I walk my journey. My favorite days when I ask the universe a question then run into the answer. Yes love allowing spirit guidance to new paths. Love getting lost then finding the surprise! 💜🍀💜🍀💜

“times of transition” wow, blew my mind, that one hit me

My buddies and I found standby plane tickets to London for incredibly cheap prices. We couldn't choose when to go, as a result my seat was available 3 days early. I spent 3 days taking the Tube around town, by myself, wondering when my friends would turn up. One morning I randomly got on a tube train with no destination in mind and a few minutes later someone tapped me on the shoulder, it was my friends coming into London from Heathrow!

In the days when we only had a home phone. It rings I pick up and say Hi Dale... My brother laughed. How did you know it was me. Me... I just knew I was in Australia he had been away a year in England 😅

Thank you so much for this video ❤

I absolutely love this - totally resonates, thank you for bringing this to us

What a great listen, thank you. Synchronicity is real, is just like law of attraction. We tends to gravitate towards something we think of. Making all probability to be possible. In my opinion, your beliefs play a role in everything…like u said in this interview, it’s better to believe than not because of the possibility it exists.

I'm glad you mentioned the energy signatures of different people. I know exactly what you're talking about. For me some peoples energy can feel uncomfortable and chaotic. Other people I noticed like doctors and dentists seem to have a cleaner and more disciplined energy. There is also a dark and hollow energy certain people have that can feel like it's draining me.

I was a military musician. Late one evening in the barracks in Japan, one of the band members after a few beers picked up his trombone and played taps. After he hit the last note,, the lights in the barracks went out. We had a good laugh thinking someone flipped the switch in the building. But no the entire base was dark. Lighting from a very distant thunderstorm hit a power station and turned off the lights. And I was a foreign exchange student to England. I travelled to scotland to see the famous tattoo there. I was late getting to my ticked seat so I had to take one next to mine. The woman in the seat was the mother of one of my students back home,

In 1996, i took a trip to see my mom in Englewood, Florida, with my children, whose father was from Peekskill, Ny. The very last day, which was a friday, i got up really early with the kids and headed to a stump pass with my then youngest son Andrew, who was about 18 months old. As soon as we walked onto the beach, there was an older gentleman shore fishing. I walk the baby over to his bucket so he can see the fish and strike up small talk about the fish in the bucket. Just a few minutes, and we went on our way to take our walk down stump pass. Well, Andrew didn't make it. He was fast asleep, laying on my shoulder when i returned from our walk. The older guy was still there and commented on how beautiful he looked asleep on my shoulder. I thanked him and went on my way to the car to go home to my moms. The next day i flew back to new york and on sunday we had a family reunion in Connecticut to attend. A reunion of his moms side of the family. So we get there and his aunt had a typical huge Connecticut home with an inground pool and a massive backyard. She had placed picknick tables with huge umbrellasalll along both sides of the pool. Well we get there and take the first table clisest to the back of the house on the left side of the pool. Directly across the pool from us was my husbands uncle Johnny who looked oddly familiar, and kept looking at me. So he finally gets up and comes to say hi to his sister, my mother in law, Anna. 😂. And i look at him and he has this really dark tan. 😂. I said , your not from around here, where are you from? And he said he just flew up from englewood florida yesterday and then it hit us. HE WAS THE OLDER GENTLEMAN STRANGER THAT COMMENTED HOW BEAUTIFUL MY SON WAS. !! It blew us both away and had a HUGE IMPACT ON UNCLE JOHNNY. Sadly he died in 2011 and his last words were , wheres michelle and andrew. He had forgotten Andy, the kids dad passed from brain cancer in 2010 and i moved away . True story. Rip uncle Johnny, rip Andy

About 3yrs ago out of nowhere a highschool classmate comes to my thoughts, I wondered wow I hadn't seen her in 40 yrs well later that day I was out at one of the summer events and who do I see I couldn't believe it, it was good to see her she vaguely remembered me I knew who she was but that was a valid moment for me I was told that your on track when you have these moments.

Throughout life ive had many a happy coincidence! Getting onto disability was one of them! Where a dr reentered my life id met years earlier in another state at ages 19 and 21 respectively! We both ended up again in the same state in a town neither of us were from and reconnected! And it had been 30 years or so since wed lost touch! Dont quite no how to explain this!

Thank you both for an inspiring talk.

I make pin in buttons with sayings on them as a hobby. A couple days back I made a new button with a rather witty saying, "Digs are people too" ...... and when I heard your guest say that today it really blew me away! What a nice little gift for the day that certainly out a smile on my face!

I experience meaningful coincidences on a regular basis, particularly in a bipolar episode. During those episodes, the amount of synchronicity is off the charts. They seem to happen rapidly. Many dismiss this phenomenon as delusions. However, that is simply not the case. The coincidences are valid and meaningful. I have countless examples. I would like to know what Dr. Breitman thinks of this.

I enjoyed this conversation! Life is naturally congruent with itself, frractally. Human minds are unique in that we have been so detuned from nature that we can be so disconnected from our own coincidences and health... nature's bargain is always coincidence. Coincidence can be two people coming together on the same waveform or vibration. Symmetry and geometry are the basis of life, but the human experience on Earth has been one of as-symmetry, continued by frequency-control mechanisms such as the TV, chaos, wars, politics, etc. When I listen to music it makes me COINCIDE with a different rhythm of life, and my scene changes. Rhythm is the fundamental element in music, not melody or harmony. Music can exist as percussion alone, but not as melody without rhythm. Thus rhythm is the waveform which gives the congruence between music and math and the fundamental structure of the cosmos.

I became familiar with coincidences and the trees that you just mentioned when I read Celestine prophecy when I lived in Charlotte North Carolina, which was from then on, followed it, I didn’t talk to people about it, but I did I had always worship big trees and oak trees, and so forth, and always thought it was just my ancestry all stuff coming back to me, but now I analyze coincidences or I think how good they can be for us, so this is outstanding this is probably one of the best podcast or RU-vid videos I could be watching, and I said I was a student of coincidence. Carl Young was my guide. I to have relationships w/dogs. My fav saying from the ‘Abcient Mariner’- @He prayeth best who loveth best all things both great and small, for the dear God who loveth us he live and madeth all

I love all of yaw ❤ It feels good to be around people who LOOK At the world around them. Its so frustrating when people shut their eyes and deny what they could easily see if willing.

Started watching this video with a skeptical mind, then a minute in I notice it was published on my last birthday. 😶 OK, OK, OK Universe, I get it, I'm listening!!👂🏾👍🏾

I booked to go to a friends place to do office work on a Sunday. Booking was made on Tuesday. Saturday I watched a movie( Anna And The King) and tried to remember the female actor in the original version. I had difficulty remembering her name. Sunday arrived. I went to the friend's place and sat at the desk. The very top letter on a pile of letters was addressed to Deborah Kerr, the actress in the 60's movie The King And I.

feeling others pain or joy..miles away!it is the most natural experience in my family!

Wow, this is crazy! Im listening to this interview while delivering construction supplies. I get to my destination just after this man is talking about how he has an avacado tree and that he loves growing avacados from seeds. After making my delivery and walking across a gravel parking lot, i see an avacado seed! Mind you it was white because of being covered in the white dust from the gravel...and out of all the rocks that avacado seed jumped out at me where any other day i wouldn't have noticed it since it was camouflaged!!!

I’ve been a student of Synchronicity over 25 years. Still my favorite subject…….and I’ve studied a lot. My stories start when my family received a hand carved Nativity set that My Mother had won in a church raffle. Moments before I had been staring at my mothers oil painted wedding picture on our living room wall. That year, Christmas Day was the one month anniversary of her death! This set arrived Xmas Eve. I firmly believe that it was her Gift to us and letting us know she was watching over us. She was very religious and this Sync couldn’t have been clearer. Also 1972

I dreamt that my Father had died, so after thinking about it, I called my Mother and asked her if my Dad was OK. I told her, that the dream had been so realistic. She said, 'he is fine, he is sitting right here.' I was relieved. Dad is still alive, at age 99. I am relieved about that too. A week earlier, I had borrowed some CDs from a girlfriend. I made my way to her place 2 or 3 times, by bicycle, as promised, to return them. She was never home. Finally, her roommate was there at home, so I asked him about her absence. He told me 'yeah, she flew to NY because she is attending her Father's funeral. He had a heart attack.' Our Dads were young men in their 30s. We were all shocked. When she came back, I told her about my dream. So, although not family, I had felt her feelings, fears and the association with the Dad. You learn to observe this 'talent' as you go along. Then, it had made no sense besides the coincidental nature of it.

Brilliantly said

'Coincidentally' I was talking about this very same subject with a friend at coffee yesterday morning.

I never "met" my moms parents. We lived in az and her parents were in another state. She tells me the night her mom died i woke up screaming and crying for no apparent reason. Shortly after she found out my grandma passed. I can remember her telling me from the time i was a little kid that my grandma stopped by to say hi and goodbye that night. Im not religious but there is something going on thats bigger than us

When I was 8 I experienced unbearable pain in my stomach area. It was so painful I felt it in my dream I had that night. I got up and couldn't even walk straight up. Over the day it only got worse. I never felt anything like this before and never felt that kind of pain again. During the evening I was just lying in my bed. I couldn't do anything else. Couldn't sleep, dink or eat. Every movement hurt and was accompanied with groans out of pain. Around midnight my mom woke up because of those groans. At this time I begged her to call the ambulance but she hesitated and I begged even more. After she realized the necessity she called the ambulance. "The ambulance is on their way." she said. With screams I got up to get somethings I needed for the hospital. Not a minute after she called the ambulance the pain was gone in an instant. Just gone. Without a single aftereffect. Somehow I knew this pain was never coming back and it never did so far. Out of fear I couldn't tell her "I don't need to go to the hospital anymore." The ambulance was on their way anyway so I'd better play along not to make a fuzz about it. I got to the hospital. Stayed there for a week. Alot of testing but they didn't find anything except one thing : Since my birth I only had one Kidney. And it might be medically useful to know that in the future.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 328 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Colors of The Wind (Venessa Williams)... One of my favourite songs...

I was in Aldi before Christmas and I bumped into a guy that recognised me from School. We were 11 to 16 then and 60 when I saw him. He asked me if I was still in touch with my best friend and neighbour back then. The last time that I had seen him I was about 25 and he was in the Navy. Just into the new year on 4th January I went to David Lloyd in Swindon and at lunch time I bought a Costa Coffee. In the restaurant area was a tall table with stools empty and a copy of the local paper laid out on the table. I put the cup on the right hand side and started looking at the left hand side of the paper. When I picked up the cup it had left a ring completely around my old friends obituary. He had died on 18th December the day that I was asked about him. The time that he was being cremated was 4th January, in Poole in Dorset at 1:30pm. I looked at the wall clock and it was exactly 1:30pm. RIP Peter Bullock of Swindon.

I really do not think people ought to obsess about coincidences, they are naturally part of the natural world and our natural life, of course they matter to a certain extent in guiding us to a certain fork in the road, but then common sense decisions need to make. We are now living in a more and more magical universe. There is a whole group of people out there (their name I will not mention) who have been collecting Mandela effects of which there are more and more all the time. Ask and you shall receive, seek them out and begin to explore this as well!

I feel like coincidences are prompt by telepathic energy, intuitive reasoning and faith

Jason I really enjoyed this episode.

I have the biggest smile on my face simply because I know this to be true about the trees. You will soon read my story . It is a wonderful story about the goodness of the Lord. I once was blind but now I see. Everything you've said about synchronicity is true. But, I call it quickening. I am highly intuitive and deeply spiritual. This is my hour. I am aware. I am moved.

Im a fraternal twin and we could never do this on purpose, but we'd say or smell, do, see etc the same thing at different places or times.

I've had so many coincidences. I've known in advance that numerous of my close relatives are ill or dying even though they are 6000 miles away. I get the phone call from home within a day or two of me knowing to let me know what I already suspected. With my last three long term relationships I discovered their mothers and sisters had the same birth dates as my mother and sister's. I went on a first date after the last breakup and she had my mother's birthday. The next date with someone else and she had the same birthday as me. There are many more. Too many stories to list here.

... as a German Biologist - in first Semester - we had to de condition normal language as it is filled with pre Judices and mis conceptions... in my experience "co Incidence "is related to Value dense Incident.... a sudden inter action - that I can not plan, not expect, not wish for. like lightning out of the blue - I am struck with something it is in 1 second right at this place and when I miss it it is gone forever when I am dis trackted with low value stuff, I am like being “drunk” in my awareness and never have any valuable interaction at all ever. Our modern World accelerates to low value dis tracktions making us numb, blind, nonsensitive for those little miracles that can be phase transitions of our life happened to me many times and I wonder how many I missed as I was dis trackted with some non sense it is a constant training in awareness calm attention like all wild animals are...

My whole life has felt like a long trail of coincidences and even as a child. One of the most ironic happened after the end of my 17 year marriage, when after taking two years off of dating to heal emotionally, I joined a dating site for the first time and they sent me a group of possible matches... of course, there among the first was my ex-husband. 😅

I use to think coincidence was due to memory/focus selection bias until I had a few very weird coincidences lol

While walking through a shopping mall, I picked up some intensely ferocious dangerous vibes coming from behind. I paced my young Son and I, so that the danger could go ahead of us, leaving us behind. My only thought was, 'No, not here!' I protected my Son from this person and approaching event. I called the police. Just before the back door of the mall, going down to the Underground transportation system, there is very bad telephone reception. That made the call difficult. I could only tell them where to come and that this person was about to explode in anger. Then the connection was gone. In that moment, this small stocky person with a shiny yellow jacket, walked right through the extremely heavy glass exit/entrance door. I could hear it and went cautiously to look if he needed an ambulance. Glass was shattered all over. That person just kept walking like a freight train and was gone. He wasn't laying there. Lots of people at the door area were calling the police. The police arrived. Those people all left. So, the police asked me about what I had seen. The other witnesses disappeared too. That was normal for the city here. I told them that I had to protect my Son. They agreed. They asked what I had seen. I said that I didn't see the person go through the glass door, due to my Son being there . I told them, 'I called you, before it happened.' The officer just looked down, very puzzled. The Manager came to me and asked, 'Was it the guy in the shiny yellow jacket, who walked this way?' They had it all on video. I said, 'Yes.' Sometimes you wish that you would not be the one who was coincidentally there.

This week I was looking for a specific guitar at a very specific price. I went into a music shop I had not been to in years. They did not have what I was looking for, at any price. I found one later that night online (not a local website, a nationwide website) and the guy selling it had me meet him at that music store. He works there. Coincidence? Fate?

Yeah, great, really enjoyed this discussion,love coincidences, and have them a fair bit, often around finding hard to get record albums,lol, im an obsesive music collector, lifes a fabulous trip.take it easy☯️☮️

My question is how do these two occurrences actually come together? Sometimes great distances or physical placements are occurring but what / how is reality reorganized to make these things happen? It can only be God and His omniscience being demonstrated. For me it’s Gods way of guiding us and reminding us that He is always present and has the power to help.

Today i was walking home from the vet with my dog. Had a weird feeling something was going to happen on the walk home. Just as i got to the traffic lights i decided last minute not to cross the road and instead turned around and headed towards the opposite direction 10 seconds later i heard an almighty bang two cars had crashed into each other at the lights if i had not decided last minute to not cross at the lights would have been hit by one of the cars that crashed. Definitely someone was looking after me today and my dog !

Hell I'm weird. I have dreamt of coincidences and they actually played out to be true in active life

I have been trying to figure this out all my life,my advice to you is to be aware of it.

These coincidences happen so often but never know what to make of them. I interpret them as a hello or wink from beyond the veil between 4d and me in 3d. Heres the larest one. I was talking to guy at work about a certain topic and out of blue i remembered and shared a hilariously memory of a former coworker that retired last year. Then a couple of days later I found out she died approximately a month ago. Mere coincidence? I think not.

From my experience I have seen coincidences when 1) a lot of training between a group with big emotions (marriages, sport teams) 2) after fasting with prayers several days 3) after drinking ayahuasca (from Brazil) which induces to meditate for 6 hours. psycotropic drinking.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Sounds like similar to MTS ? Mirror Touch Synesthesia 🤔

I have had numerous highly disturbing coincidences. The kind that makes my hair stand up on my neck and the feeling of a gut punch to the stomach. I hate coincidences....

I'm pretty sure once you pay attention to it, it whatever it is, will pay attention to you more. Not sure why that is but it can feel oddly uncanny sometimes

Tonight wheel of fortune on. Puzzle was take it to the limit. Eagles backup singer died, sung on that song 1977. Looking at obituaries,he’s listed, this same night. Interesting 🤔

I've had coincidences that were striking, but nothing came from them, so now while acknowledging their presence and low probability... I restrain myself from attaching too much meaning to them. One I can remember: Walking down my street, I found a driver's licence that had been dropped on the road in front of my house. Belonged to a very attractive girl. I mailed it to the address on the licence with a short explanatory note on the back of one of my business cards (yes, so I was contactable, lol) But no contact, and forgot about it. Maybe a couple of weeks later I took the bus to work (which I didn't do very often) and a girl that looked like the one on the licence was sitting on the bus! In fact she looked even better. 😏 I said "Hey you look the person on a licence I found recently..." And it was her, and she thanked me, and we had a good chat on the way into town. But nothing came of it, it went nowhere at all, and I had to recalibrate the significance I had assigned to this series of events. And other similar things have happened before & since, with similar lack of development. 🤷‍♂️
