My wierd reality. (Hopefully not just me)

[Schwanke668]

You know how we talk about the interconnectedness of it all. Like we're all energy and what not.

I really do think there is an interconnectedness at a psychedelic level that interacts with everything and can cause patterns to ripple across unrelated mediums.

Two examples in the past 12 hours:

Read about NTP on the forums -- The one code for my coke rewards points for redeeming thats been sitting on my desk for two months that I only picked up because they emailed me saying I would loose all my points if I didnt enter somethign... had NTP in the code.

Searching through a website looking for some small waterpipes for my desk and come across a page on pipe cleaners. Makes sense right?

Less then 5 minutes later get an email from facebook saying someone sent me pipe cleaners in farmville. (Mean like farm pipes I guess, havnt seen em before.)

I get stuff like this all the time. They have been coming a LOT more visible recently. I used to have to kinda draw a connection but now like these two are concrete and there's been several more in the past two weeks.

What would you call this? Its like if we were trippin we would be drawing strange connections between things. Looking at a red car and see the car and see red and see an apple and see the red apple and the red apple turns into a red car and all of a sudden the shape of the car and apple are similar and you see a red vw bug that reminds you of an apple that reminds you of the 60s that.. you get the idea.

But to have like "pipe cleaners" 5 minutes apart and "NTP" within half an hour. and both are drug refernces. (Dont know if you smoke NTP). What is that?

glitch in the matrix, synchronicity, selective attention? you can choose to see in it what you want, which appeals to me as a very beautiful thing.
while these things may be very exciting, I think they are rather circumstantial/secondary.


what happened every now and then to me was that I could (correctly) guess the next card I'd draw when playing a game, or the next song when I had shuffle on, or the other time I met a guy in a cafe and I instantly knew what he studies. it was philosophy, but that may or may not had been very psychic since he had quite a "nordic" appearance. I'm quite good at telling apart people who read Nietzsche and those who don't

the craziest thing however, was when I once was waiting for the train in the subway station, pondering whether or not I should listen to some music. the answer was no, because I got a real certain feeling that I was about to meet someone I know. it had a sidetaste of a decision as well, like "I'm going to meet someone now!". shortly later, the subway arrived I got in and forgot a moment about the feeling, when I suddenly found myself standing next to my mothers cousin whom I hadn't seen for quite some time.

Well I guess the first two are rather intersting and selective attention would just mean to me that I have an insane amount of memory of pointless things and I am constantly correlating them in bizarre ways. Ive considered that actually as a practical explanation. Might be there is actually a rather large amount of syncronicity in the universe, more then we realize, and the veil hides most of it.

Though I see syncronicity as an awareness of something greater as I dont believe that anything happens by accident. I believe in the idea that God allows or causes everything and that whether he allows it or causes it, it is perfect in the grand scheme of things. Which means whether he allows or causes syncronicity really makes me wonder what the purpose of allowing or causing me to notice it. What purpose does noticing these things serve other then to fire a few neurons in a different way?

Sometimes I see some syncronicities as telling signs of a bigger picture. Like my post on noticing the convergence.

Other times I think its just amusing nuances in the grand relationships of the universe. The question is do we waste mental energy on finding a use for them or just let them slide?

As for your feelings. I see that as a different ball game and primarily see any type of awareness of 'extra knowledge' that influences our decisions as coming from the spiritual world, that is, via spirits. Now magic and the like may be different and I am not 100% familiar with that yet, but by and large I see feelings that lead us to notice something before it happens the whisperings of beings in our ears. Positive or negative, for positive or negative reasons.

I for example have been able to predict and even control the presentation of cards from a card deck however I have always attributed both to my awareness of God and his desire for me to interact in the spiritual world at his level. In the instances that I have done this its all been for spiritual reasons, a form of tarot though based on Christ and not on the normal reasons. Ive never done it for the purpose of profit in a game or something. Though tarot is normally used to read the future I believe being able to control the tarot can influence the future.

The hard part for me is the fact that my psychedelic/shaman abilities are crossing into a new realm that I am not familiar with and that is interacting with a 'world' that is neither spiritual nor physical. Yes I deal with angels and demons and god and human spirits all the time but then I reach into a world where I know that I am out of that realm and interacting with human spirits and God in what I can only classify as a 'psychedelic' realm. Its the apocalyptic writing that I talk about only in a sometimes visual, sometimes spiritual, sometimes instinctive form.

For example in this realm I have been finding myself recently 'rerouting energy'. Energy isnt the word for it though theoretically it could be if we took it down to the we are all made of energy level. But for example if I find two seemingly unrelated 'concepts of people' in my head at the same time I instinctively know there is an imbalance between them that can be rectified by creating a pathway between them in this 'realm' and allowing them to flow back and forth in that manner/pattern/process/path/whatever. I then can read the signs and know what kinds of filters to put into place or what kinds of valves or controls of flow and so forth. You could almost say in one instance I created a bong between two groups of people that allowed the one to siphon the stuff off the other but filter it through water so as to allow a more intense cleaner consumption of the energy.

I cant always identify the 'material' of the 'energy' but I know its there and I know its specific. I can just feel it and I just know it and I just do it but I know its the right thing to do.

So I guess my desire would be to be able to concretely read the 'signs' of these 'syncronicities' to use them as a positive influence in my shamanistic work.

Synchronicity!!
since ive been a 'tripper' ive been noticing these coincidences or random seeming associations
but over the last 2 weeks ive been getting a load of them

like i was flicking randomly through my japanese/english dictionary yesterday to translate a few words and i began to flip the pages fast, u know how u do like shuffling a deck of cards, and kept stopping randomly and my eyes would focus on a single word then i'd keep flicking the pages again

it was very strange, i got a whole message out of it and i wasnt even trying to do this
normally i'd pay no heed at all to this but the message was so straight forward and obvious and relevant to my life at the moment that i cant ignore it

i cant remember all the exact message but it was like...
currently im kind of moving away from my friends a little bit for a great many reasons one being that i havnt seen one of my friends for awhile and now hes going to his home country for a couple months, hes sri lankan (though sri lanka isnt his home country...long story)
now as i was flicking through i read something along the lines of cut off communication, sri lankan, evil, moving away
i cant remember all of it
but it was so mind blowingly blatant i was just like...wtf
and the funny thing was none of the words coming up were unrelated to the 'message'
like i saw the word 'indian' and instantly thought of my friend, then i was like nah hes sri lankan, THEN sri lanka came out
i was trippin out at that
i wish i had a better memory so that i could write down all the words that came up, it was uncanny

once coincidences are realized in terms of synchronicity, the concept of "random" becomes a very funny thing. very interactable

Well I dont believe in 'true syncronicity'. I believe that everything is under God's 'control' though that control is two fold.

The one fold is him causing it: Took an active hand in changing someone's mind about something such as showing them why its a good thing to go down a certain street and meet a person in the middle of the night.

The other fold is allowing it: That person they meet happens to be walking down that street because they need milk from the corner store. The oposite of causing such as causing the person to stay home for some reason.

I think God does both at different times for different reasons and different interactions but you could say the point is moot as to which one was the 'reason' when the importance is that it happened.

As such I think that 'syncronicity' is a way of God talking to us and that being aware of syncronicity is a way of being aware of his master plan in more detail then someone who isnt.

Convergences such as in my other post. Noticing paterns in wierd environments. Noticing patterns in multiple environments.

I think the 'noticing' is the important part sometimes. Why did I 'notice it' when I could have just pushed it aside as a thought.

But then you can ask yourself questoins like: "Is it important that I noticed? Was the point to notice and forget? Was the point to notice and remember? Was the point to ask these questions?"

The possiblities are almost limitless but the trick is learning what combination is most usefull out of the information at hand.

So like for example after i dedicated my car to God's glory is when I noticed all the syncroncities of the odometer. 177777 some combinatoin of 8s and 0s. 165165. That kind of thing. Over and over again. It was just funny cuz it was creepy lol.

Then there is like the idea that my mom's cvv (that extra code on credit cards now adays) for the only credit card she uses is the same as the only credit card I use even though we have a bunch of credit cards each and they are two entirely different companies and cards.

I think the importance of a syncronistic event is partially tied to its probability of God 'allowing it'. Whats the mathemematical chances of that with the cvv vsus my car which might be much less because I make lots of short trips but is still amusing in the general sense. (And i get to get funny pictures hehe)

Just my thing hehe. I like syncronicities cuz I often do find patterns in the glitches in the matrix hehe. Ive seen combinations where I've had two or three glitches the same day about a similar topic and then have that topic be on the news that night. Creepy but hey.
