Hmm... some stuff I decided to finally share, may interest

I shared some stuff in another thread that was moving the thread VERY off-topic, and I apologize to Gib for that.

Gib however considered it insane shit, rather than simply a form of derailment, a discussion I could have easily had in PM upon further reflection. Anyhow, I wanted to share something about my life that I have shared with only a couple people.

One day I was with a woman, (no it wasn’t a sexual thing) and she suggested we do the crossword in the local paper together, so I agreed, and I think some kind of entity came through her because as we were starting to fill out the crossword puzzle she began to glow and her hand stretched out like she was giving me something, and suddenly I started to see very clearly that the crossword puzzle was a message for me! It was clearly being written for me… which I know sounds bizarre, but you would have had to have been there… as clues moved across for example, one clue would be my first name and the next my last name etc…

So I kept doing these crossword puzzles, and then one day I saw two clues next to each other which were “listen radio”, so I turned on the radio and I felt like it too was communicating to me, I know sounds strange. Then there was this guy, and he has done some VERY strange things in my presence… and I ran into him on a street corner one day, not having told a single soul about this crossword/radio stuff, and he may have opened up with something which I don’t quite recall, and I said “I have lived a very strange life” and he replied, “I know you have. I know you have the paper and the radio, don’t lose the paper and the radio.” I had never told another living soul about this!!! I stopped doing the crosswords and listening to the radio because it was so disturbing to me, and one day about a year and a half later, I decided to do a crossword puzzle again, hoping it wasn’t a message to me, and the clue for #1 across, which was the only clue I filled out before stopping, ended up being the city I would move to 8 months later and I didn’t even know I was moving there yet, I found out 3 days after the crossword. Since then I have been so spooked by crossword puzzles that I’ve never done one since, and I am still spooked that this man knew all about it.

Is that weird or what?

You’re making connections between things where there are none. It’s a common, bad way of thinking. It’ll lead you down all kinds of speculative paths where there is no certainty at all, and you’ll feel lost all the time and as though things are either all up to chance, or all in the hands of some power above you. It’s not healthy. There’s a reason something like what you’ve described is called a coincidence. It’s because that’s all it is. Two things happening. Nothing more.

Sounds completely normal to me, doesn’t everyone have these kind of typical experiences, daily?

I have had only one. And it was pretty unusual. I was having a Jung awareness period, for the second time,when. Things started to come to me for a seemingly particular reason. The first time I brushed aside as some kind of unusual coincidence, but since then they do occur, however not frequently. And this too had to do with a radio.

It was in my park, the favorite semi private place where I first discovered the realization of the fact of the immanence of time.

I had my mind blank, and a Dr. Laura (Schlesinger) who had a radio pop psych 1 hour on talk radio, cam in with saying, that her teacher, also a Jungian, had described how awareness seem to come through as from a tunnel.  For a moment I had the impression that we became mutually aware of each other.  Since then, I had heard by various sources of the existence of morphic fields, and had developed much more respect toward such views.

I have had experiences that were definitely not coincidences, but I haven’t had any in years… which I too am relieved about Commentary. :confused:
