Ever Happened To You? (Weird Coincidences, Synchronicity, Law Of Attraction). by BuddhaPalm(m): 11:56am On Jan 03, 2015 |
Have you ever had 'weird' improbable coincidences happen to you. Wrong question really. As life, as we know it, only exists because of improbable 'coincidences'. So, I'll rephrase: Let's share stories of notable low-probability coincidences we've experienced. It could be an answered prayer, a strong wish fulfilled, a last-minute 'miracle', or a bank error in your favour - lol, but that you really, really needed at that point in time. Etcetera. It doesn't have to be Guinness-World-Records grade. Might just be someone offering you a cup of coffee unexpectedly - when you wanted coffee, or having an old, long-lost friend call - after you just thought of them. There are certain theories of the universe, where thoughts create our reality. And intent the architect of your experience. But without labeling these as religious-this or scientific-that, let's just share them as they happened. As open-mindedly as possible...and just let everyone 'hold' their pre-existing conclusions. I'll lead with the stories... I first had such an experience in JSS 2. Then, I was a Christian, strongly believed in the Virgin Mary, and attended a Catholic secondary school. On the surface, my intention was simple enough. I wanted to take the 5th position, out of about 130 students (combined result). So I asked the Virgin Mary for assistance. I said the rosary daily - till the end of the term. In retrospect, I didn't bother about the mechanics of how she'd do it. I just had full belief. 100%. At the end of the term, I took exactly 5th, and wasn't the least surprised. It was expected. But looking back now, that was, no doubt, a 5-star miracle. You could take 1st position by trying your best to score the highest possible marks in all tests and exams. Or the last position by failing to pick up any marks through all tests and exams. But...How the heck does one take 5th through 10 subjects with 3 tests & 1 exam each? Guess that opens the floor. Let's hear yours ![]() 11 Likes 4 Shares |

Are you talking about those moments when you feel like you are an actor in a movie? When there is this quiet confidence within that you know how it all ends? I had an aunt who had sickle cell. She experienced lots of crises and was almost always sick. The Christmas before she died, she was unusualy strong. She cooked for the family, made us our lovely dishes and everyone rejoiced thinking the worst was behind her. But, even as a kid, I sensed something was wrong. There was this heavy weight within, I felt like I was seeing her for the last time. Few weeks later, when her sister arrived at our home late on a Tuesday evening, I knew she had died. 13 Likes 1 Share |

fijiano202: It is actually called "Telepathy" or "the sixth-sense". The communication between two souls. Everyone experiences it at one time or the other. It now depends on your spiritual level that will make you experience it more. And that is why: 1) You will be thinking of your friend whom you have not seen a long time and the person will call you at that time. 2) A mother will grow restless at a point, only to know later that something bad happened to her child, somewhere else. 3) A twin will not be happy only to know that his/her twin was injured somewhere else. So many examples abound. There is no scientific explanation for it. It just happens. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

This happened within the last 24hours. I haven't seen one young family friend in 2-3 years. The last time I saw him, he was teaching me how to 'Duggy' lol. Last night (around this time) I couldn't sleep. Upon seeing a comment his mum made on Twitter, I was led to his account. He's done so well for himself, having recently established an international modelling career (Diesel, JD Sports, Ben Sherman, DSquared2, etc). I felt so happy for him. He died this morning. Phone was dead until about 3-4pm so found out upon switching it on. Unbelievable. RIP T ![]() 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I just pulled this off an old thread when I was still new on the forum Something happened to me when I got to 500L. I was to register my courses for the session only to be told by my course adviser he couldnt see the result of a course I had passed while in 200L( had different course advisers in 200L n 500L). He told me I had to re register the course. It was a very terrible course I couldnt just imagine writing again ( Engineering drawing). I wrote a letter to the department of mechanical engineering to please help resend the result to my department. I explained that, when the result was originally released, I had a C (Please note that, in my school, my department to be specific, your exact scores are not released. Just the grades). 18 Likes 3 Shares |

BuddhaPalm: Yea As at the said time, the incidence in my opinion was too exact to be dismissed as mere coincidence. That same incidence back then was the reason I had a belief in the supernatural. |

Flytefalls: Lol, I was actually referring to you in the third-person. @ your new-year, Good to hear. Had a great time too. Naa, no midnight kiss. Not particularly a biggie in my neck of the woods. @ OP So what directions did your thinking go...as per your last post. |

Re: Ever Happened To You? (Weird Coincidences, Synchronicity, Law Of Attraction). by Nobody: 11:32pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
BuddhaPalm:Ahh, gotcha. Flytefalls initially disputed the fact she wasn't dreaming. My experience is improbable, but also very unimportant given the fact somebody has died. This wasn't a premonition or anything, just phatly coincidental. I dunno, my deeper thoughts don't believe I could be so special... but in the far distance is a light of thought that cracks through the doubtful darkness; maybe this was 'something else'? ![]() Your story and other people's here are far more substantial and less vague. Those are the stories that create real questions. 1 Like |

Flytefalls: You know, you can't be so sure the experience was so unimportant. Maybe its the Universe titillating your curiosity. And now you have questions. And questions are fuel. Blue pill: you ignore them as if nothing happened...and you get other veiled proddings down the line (persistent bugger!). Red pill: you follow the questions ...and see how deep the rabbit hole goes. |

Well, this happened when I was in JSS3. On a Tuesday that seemed pretty normal when I left my elder bro at home -who complained of being weak- and got to school. All throughout my stay at school, I was unhappy and uneasy. I knew something was wrong. When I got home, I saw him quite ill and weak; and I just knew he was going to die. I felt it in my gut. He was taken to the hospital where he died later on and I wasn't surprised. To this day, I'll tell my Mom: "I knew he was gonna die that day." She'll reply: "You know nothing." Hmn. ![]() 4 Likes 2 Shares |
