is synchronicity real?

[mikebadg3]

The simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection

[Glutebrahhh]

I don't think science has the tools necessary to 'prove' synchronicity, but I can tell you that I believe in it.

IT'S REAL TO ME

Edit: is it a coincidence my friend was just telling me about this this morning? And now I'm encountering the concept for the first time, twice in a day?

[eod8989]

Been experiencing it for a while now

And it's not just random little things either there are a few distinct things that keep happening no matter what that disrupt my flow/day

[mikebadg3]

One could say the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of empires across the ages is synchronicity in nature.

As well as famine/disease/death

for every time something happens that seems to be more than a coincidence, there an infinite of times it doesnt happen, but we only notice when it does. It's just how our brain works.

You can play both hands of these coins, there equally infinite parallel dimensions where this happens and when it doesn't and it's in total equilibrium - that's the magic about synchronicity is that in order for it to occur, there has to be equilibrium in that particular place at that particular time. The stars align. Other times you dont notice it at all. Background noise

No, but Scrantonicity is real.

No. The human brain is a pattern seeking instrument, and often makes connections where none exist. It's related to the creation/existence of superstitions, and things like why people see Jesus in a slice of toast. It's not Jesus, and if the saviour ever comes back to earth, we can be reasonably sure he's not going to come back as a piece of bread.

[A-GAME]

Absolutely.

Thats interesting because I was just thinking of the word ******* and weightaholic posted at the same time.

Coincidence? I think not.

Given you spend much of the day thinking about homosexuality, my posting during one of those frequent intervals is unlikely to be a sign of anything more than your latent homosexuality.

NTTAWWT.

Well, the number of times I've farted just as the phone rings is spooky.
Though now I come to thnk of it, I do fart a lot, and most times it doesn't ring.
But when it does, my impending fart made someone call me. I can't think of a more logical explanation, can you?

[Seamanbeast]

Absolutely it's real. But that's because you think and behave in a synchromatic behavior. You shower, shave, brush, wake up, eat, sleep, chit, and react in a synchromatic way almost every day, therefore you trained your brain to seek it out. Do me a favor kiddo, change up your whole rythim, routine and timing on everything for a week and tell me I didn't just change your life. You are welcome.

[davik]

Yes i believe

[Fuggettabowteet]

Jung was right and Einstein agreed. Look into Paul Kammerer too if you're feeling frisky.
