coincidence, pssh! there's no such thing

Tell myself I'm going to call this girl I was going to see today at 4:30 (I decide this at noon). Turns out she calls me at exactly 4:30! Exactly as the minute swicthes from 4:29-4:30.

 

I was walking to the bus the other day and being irritated about something stupid I said to a girl. I then wrote a memo to my self on the phone saying "you got to remember being human is about making mistakes. Now what seperates the inspired from the down is your ability to learn for the next time and quickly immediately let go" Now I wrote this memo while waiting for the bus, turns out I left my keys at home and I remember this just as the bus is coming and have to let it pass me by. I was tempted to get angry with myself but then I remembered my memo. the lesson was recieved in an instant I learned that there was no reason to be irritated I walked home happily to get my keys.

 

and these coincidences go on and on and on....

 

what I mean to say is guys start putting together these hints in your life. They're not just randoms happenings, they're signals to teach us lessons.

 

good luck.

 

oh and post your coincidences.

Great post as usual Shayan!

 

My life is a series of coincidences can hardly remember any of it!

All I know is that every person and every event in my life, no matter how insignificant it seemed at the moment, had influenced my future!

 

I used to talk about it a lot with my ex girlfriend, how every person we ever met brought something new into our lives, changed our lives in some way. I remembered it shortly after our break up and I told her "I wonder what were our roles in each others lives?" I guess I'll have to wait until I find out, but I'm sure we played very important role in each others lives.

good insight yes, that's always interesting too see how our lovers influence us. what they come to teach.

Tell myself I'm going to call this girl I was going to see today at 4:30 (I decide this at noon). Turns out she calls me at exactly 4:30! Exactly as the minute swicthes from 4:29-4:30.

I'm a bit older now but I had lot of those little coincidences. Too many to remember...

there is a reason why these things occured yobynnad can you go back with hingsight and see why?

I'm alcoholic but I'm still a gentle guy and quite sane when I have had a drink or three - I do not become unreasonable or aggressive because of alcohol and the only time I hallucinate is when I don't have enough to drink.

 

A few weeks ago, I was in the supermarket and for a change I bought a bottle of Spanish brandy (I usually drink Vodka), but it fell through the carrier bag and broke on the floor - is the Universe trying to tell me something? Anyway, they gave me a new bottle but it made me very sick.

 

A bit later on, I was on my way to an ATM cash machine and a guy asked me, "What are you doing dressed like that?" I thought he was going to cause trouble but he gave me £10 and I said that I would be spending it on drink, but he said that's OK. Coming back from the shop I was at a bus stop and a woman across the road was whistling and waving to me, so I waved back but it was getting dark and I still don't know who she was and I had to catch my bus.

 

A few days later I met a man on the street and he said he's 94 and he started to tell me about his life story and that he deserted during WW2 because he couldn't cope the violence and the killing of civilians. Of course he got into trouble about that and he told me that he turned to alcohol and I pulled a half (35cl) bottle of Vodka out of my pocket (I sometimes drink three or four of those a day and I'm very ill if I don't drink). Then he said that he'd decided to live and that he gave up drinking but I know that this it is very difficult to do without drugs and medical supervision but there are only two beds for alcohol detox in my city - and it's much the same anywhere in the UK where I live. We talked about all sorts of things and we shook hands at least six times. He said that I'm a wonderful man and that I might meet a wonderful woman very soon.

 

Two days later, I met a woman in the supermarket looking at the drinks stall and we talked about all sorts of things (not just alcohol) and agreed on most everything. It was a meeting of minds and within a quarter of an hour, she was holding my hand and it felt wonderful (and I'm 62). Her name was Rachel and she said, "you won't forget me, will you John" - so I go back to the same supermarket but I have not seen her again. She insisted that I go to the same checkout as her, so it was obvious that she wanted to talk with me more - but by then I was so overwhelmed by her charisma that I walked away as she was paying for her things. Damn!

 

Another day I was on a bus coming back from a 24/7 shop that sells alcohol and the only person on the bus was a young woman who looks like she's less than half my age. She's a carer for old folks and I wish she could care for me because she has a wonderful mind and we agree on most things and she has a lot of compassion for people in general. A wonderful young woman with a very bright mind and heart!

 

We got off at the same bus stop and continued talking - but she had to go down one road and I had to go along the same road where we were on. On parting, she gave me a hug and I really needed that and I felt her boobs on my chest and that also felt great. Later on, I was talking to a neighbor and who should come along but that young woman and she told me that her name was Rachel !

 

Coincidence? Are the two Rachel's different manifestations of the same person?

 

Rachel was on her way as a carer for old folk and another time we walked and talked on her way to her next appointment. Then on parting she gave me another hug and as I'm a very tactile person, it felt wonderful. Later on the same day I saw her again but she was running to her next appointment and she said, "can't talk with you now, I'm late - see you later, darling."

 

So I meet a woman called Rachel in the supermarket who after 15 minutes was holding my hand and she said "don't forget me John" - then I meet a younger woman also called Rachel and she also talked with me in a very meaningful way and she gives me hugs...

 

Coincidence? I think that the Universe is trying to tell me something.

 

During the time I met the two Rachel's I met a young woman (perhaps 18 to 20 years old) in the supermarket and she drinks as much as I do and she looks beautiful with freckles on her face and as we talked, both of us were almost in tears - myself because I never had children and I could see her plight and herself because I had reached her heart. I have seen her two times but with Rachel one, I have not seen her again then in regard to Rachel two, I have seen her several times and I don't know what to make of that relationship because she appears to be young enough to be my daughter.

 

All this has happened during two or three weeks and I cannot help but wonder about it all. A conclusion I come to is that the Universe itself is a conscious entity and that we are connected.

Telepathy? It happens sometimes. How many times have we been thinking of someone and the phone rings and it is the person we were thinking about. It happens to me quite a lot. She was thinking of you as you were thinking of her and it sounds like you have a real connection there.

 

I was walking to the bus the other day and being irritated about something stupid I said to a girl. I then wrote a memo to my self on the phone saying "you got to remember being human is about making mistakes. Now what separates the inspired from the down is your ability to learn for the next time and quickly immediately let go"

That was a good and wise memo.

 

Now I wrote this memo while waiting for the bus, turns out I left my keys at home and I remember this just as the bus is coming and have to let it pass me by. I was tempted to get angry with myself but then I remembered my memo. The lesson was received in an instant I learned that there was no reason to be irritated I walked home happily to get my keys.

 

and these coincidences go on and on and on....

Yes they do for some people. In regard to catching a bus, I have to walk about a quarter mile up a very steep hill but because of my addictions I'm not as fit I was and I get short of breath, so have to stop walking several times. When I get to the top of the hill and can see the main road (where the bus runs), the bus goes by and I miss it and it happens (almost) every time. Another coincidence is when I'm waiting for a bus, if I light a cig a bus comes and I have to put it out!

 

So what are these coincidences telling me? They are telling me that if I was fitter, I would catch the bus and that I have to stop drinking and smoking. Problem is, how?
