Coincidences

[mocachapeau]

Ever since I discovered the concept of the coincidences and the significance they have in our lives, I often feel bombarded by them. I have to wonder sometimes if I'm just trying to read into every little thing that happens around me simply because I now understand the concept, and that maybe I want to feel they are happening to me. But then something happens that is just TOO bizarre, or the timing is TOO uncanny, for me to feel I am making it up.

It was about five years ago when I began researching the events of 9/11 that I first heard of Alex Jones. Many of you are probably aware that he appeared in a number of different videos on the subject doing his part to expose the conspiracy. I never payed any particular attention to him since he just seemed to be one of many who were speaking out, and I have only "bumped into him" a couple of times since.

I've been stressing out a lot lately due to the upcoming vaccinations. The government-run health establishments I work in post an H1N1 bulletin once a week to all the employees, and in the last one it was stated that the vaccine is voluntary but could become mandatory. For me, the inclusion of that statement probably means that it will become mandatory - they're preparing us. So up goes my stress level. I decided to make a search on Youtube to see what I could find on the subject of the H1N1 virus, and I found, and watched, an hour-long Alex Jones "special" from May when we were experiencing the first wave of the virus. I was taken in by his emotional ranting, and I also discovered that he was the guy responsible for the Bohemian Grove video. I was liking what he was saying. THIS WAS JUST LAST NIGHT!

So today I visited the SOTT page to discover the excellent article about this guy, pointing out in such a clear and concise way just why I shouldn't let myself be sucked in by him. The references to Political Ponerology in the article were particularly helpful because I just finished reading it about a week ago. It was an example of a practical application of the knowledge I had just acquired. I just can't get over the timing of this! I didn't even really know who he was until last night.

That article appeared at the very moment necessary to keep me from a possible wild tangent before it actually happened. My worrying has caused my energy to become a little more scattered than usual recently, and this article was exactly what I needed to help me refocus on what I'm doing.

Thanks SOTT, for helping me keep my feet on the ground.

I also no longer believe in coincidences. I've also noticed the same things that you've mentioned (the needing of certain information and then having it practically fall into your lap). I've wondered recently whether there's a stronger connection to the divine cosmic mind that leads to some of these coincidences or if it was a subconscious asking on our part that led to the cosmic mind or higher self "answering". Hope that makes more sense than I currently think it does.

Years ago, when I first found the CASS site and started reading the wave, I was so attracted to it and felt compelled to read for hours on end, but I was also in the initial shock faze of the material and kept thinking to myself " this can't be real--this can't be real--should I keep reading?" For a while when I was asking myself that question, I was reading the CASS materials in the morning then for four or five days in a row, later in the day or evening, I would hear or see somewhere in the media something about the topic that was on my mind from the section of the Wave, or other CASS texts I had read that morning. It was all really weird stuff that normally gets little or no press in the MSM. One was about cattle mutilations--read about it on CASS--saw it on the mainstream news that night; then Oak Island--read about it in the morning--saw it on TV that night; next transdimensional remoleculization!--read about it in the wave--saw and heard news commentators that night joking about the govt. wasting taxpayers money on projects like trying to build a Star Trek-like transporter device to move things and people with--they were laughing and making "beam me up Scotty" jokes--it made my hair stand up! So, needles to say, I took those coincidences as messages to keep reading CASS stuff.

But, remember, It has also been discussed in several places on SOTT forum, and I apologize for not being able to research where they are right now, that dark forces can and do also use coincidence, deja vu, and the like, to divert us from the truth, so it is important to note such occurrences but also to remain skeptical about their sources until you can safely test the associations.

In answer to the question of how such a "Cosmic Drama" could be orchestrated, just keep in mind the "time travel factor," and the following:

11-19-94
A: Disinformation comes from seemingly reliable sources. It is extremely important for you to not gather false knowledge as it is more damaging than no knowledge at all. Remember knowledge protects, ignorance endangers. The information you speak of, Terry, was given to you deliberately because you and Jan and others have been targeted due to your intense interest in level of density 4 through 7 subject matter. You have already been documented as a "threat." [...] Remember, disinformation is very effective when delivered by highly trained sources because hypnotic and transdimensional techniques are used thereby causing electronic anomalies to follow suggestion causing perceived confirmation to occur.
Q: (T) What I want to know is who has the power and ability to set up these kinds of "confirmations" or synchronicities?
A: Same forces spreading disinformation: Brotherhood/ consortium/ Illuminati/ New World Order/ "Antichrist"/ Lizards.
Q: (T) But I'm just a nobody. Why would they go to all trouble...
A: Several answers follow: Number One, Nobody is a "nobody." Number two, it is no trouble at all for aforementioned forces to give seemingly individualized attention to anybody. Number three, Terry has been targeted and so has Jan and others because you are on the right track. Number four, This area is currently a "hot bed" of activity and extremely rapidly expanding awareness.

Not to get here, mocachapeau, but concerning being "taken in" by people you read about or see on youtube, maybe the next time this occurs, you could come to the forum and put their name in the search function to see what has been found out about them?

Just a thought. :)

Hope that makes more sense than I currently think it does.

That pretty much sums up what I've been wondering, too. Last year, when the lighthouse appeared on the SOTT page - the fund raising for the Eric Pepin lawsuit - I decided I wanted to help out by donating, for the first time. But each time I started to act on the idea something would cause me to balk. Whether I was worrying about using a credit card, attracting attention to myself, how my wife would feel or whatever, I kept putting it off and this continued for a few days.

I clicked on the TV and started channel surfing and stopped on a black and white movie to see what it was about. A man and a woman were having what looked like a serious conversation, and about fifteen seconds into it the man paused and then said, "The devil is in the details". I realize that it is probably a well-known, well-used expression, but I had never heard it from anyone but Ark, Laura and the forum members. So for me, hearing that at that moment felt like a hammer on the head. I went straight to the computer and donated.

I've also had some pretty incredible dreams that make me wonder about the source. When I read the part in the sessions about how Jesus is in a state of stasis and that he hears our prayers, I decided to try it out on the most important question I had. I asked for the power to be able to make the right choice in every situation. I meant situations where a part of me really knows what I should do, but another "I" steps in and takes over the decision. I prayed right before bed, and then proceeded to have one of the longest, clearest, most detailed dreams I have ever had in all my life. And there can be NO doubt about whether or not it was an answer to the question.

The dream put me through an experience that was basically an exaggeration of me giving in to things that I do, but shouldn't (pleasures, vices), all at once, and for four straight months. Then I was treated to a heart-wrenching experience wherein all that I value most in my life had either been ripped away from me, hurt or destroyed, as a direct result of my actions. My entire life was gone and I only had myself to blame. I woke up trembling and terrified - it was horrible. But the answer was clear as day - always keep in mind the result of an extreme application of your actions, and the choice becomes easier. The hard part is always keeping it in mind, which I guess has a lot to do with always being aware of yourself.

Edit: Good God! I just realized how much this is sounding like Dickens' A Christmas Carol. That's hilarious!

But what stunned me was the IMMEDIATE answer. I closed my eyes and there it was!

Normally I do exactly that. That's how I avoided a friend's suggestion of reading David Wilcock, and it is how I confirmed my mother's suggestion of reading The Family, by Jeff Sharlet. But in this particular case, I just hadn't had the time to get to that. The article literally appeared as soon as I woke up the next day. But I am glad I DID watch the video because it serves as a good example of the kind of spell-binder, paranoid type that is out there.

Coincidences DO exist,

I will tell you my experience with coincidences, at some moment in my life I believed very strongly in symbological messages, I believed that I was special because of these coincidences, I mean WOW, sometimes you could be getting like these 4 coincidences in a row , and they all look connected but actually mean nothing in reality, but to me it meant that I must be special, so I tried to look for valid connections behind these coincidences, I mean, come on! it must mean something, My thought were filled with questions like why, how, what. So I went on searching for valid connections.

I was looking for something that didn't existed!

When you think about it, it's a road which leads to self-referencing (seeing everything that happens in one's environment as reflecting on YOU, whether in objects, conversations of others, external events, etc., as if the world and other people exist strictly to give you messages.)

This self-referencing could eventually lead to schizophrenia, an example of this is John Nash who eventually got a schizophrenic breakdown due to his self-referencing, this can be read in the adventure series, around chapter 35.

One should change their approach on handling these kind of coincidences, look at these coincidences as data, don't go running around looking for valid connections, because of a coincidence, but keep it in the back of your mind until more data shows up, because really coincidences DO happen and they DO exist.

Coincidences, Synchronities, Warning signs, they can all be misread, or totally misunderstood. I was in a dangerous relationship where my friends warned me of her, I just did not want to acknowledge the warning signs that were giving to me or the obvious warning signs that were shown by her actions, I misread warnings as ''Dear knight, please help me, I am a Damsel in distress'' and I would see no warnings , no, I would see a wounded women, and I would grab my sword and protect her despite of all the obvious dangers signs about her.

The point is, this is the same thing that happens with coincidences , WE EASILY MISREAD, or MISUNDERSTAND IT.

Ofcourse it's perfectly okay to be observant about your environment, but you go too far when you start looking for a valid connection when there is nothing to be found, I think the best approach is to look at everything as data, keep an open mind, keep it in back of your mind, when more data shows you can look objectively if there is anything that could be of any interest, if there is not , just keep it in the back of your mind as data.

 

[knowledge_of_self]

Fwiw, I agree with Bo on this topic.

Even before reading cass material, when I was introduced to the topic of paranormal activity and basically ideas about UFOs and Aliens etc.. I was very sucked in to thinking there are NO coincidences and that everything happens for a reason. I even remember watching the movie Signs by M. Night Shamelan which went to confirm my beliefs even more regarding coincidences at that time.

For example I recall how Nima and I had just gotten really into the whole UFO subject. And we were always looking for ‘signs’ that were about UFOs. And I remember we had read somewhere that if there are UFOs around, street lights may flicker or turn on and off, etc.. and I remember there was a street light at the end of the street where we lived that began to flicker and every time we drove by it, it would turn off. I began to see this as a ‘sign’ that there were UFOs up or near our house or that we had come in contact with UFOs.

After about a month, one day I noticed someone from the city changing the light bulb of the street lamp. I went and spoke to him and asked him if there was a problem with that light and he said that the light was getting old and that usually whenever the light gets too hot, it would turn off on its own to preserve power, and that it was very normal for them to turn on and off on their own to save power. Well I felt really dumb when I heard that because for about a month I was convinced we were being frequently visited by a mysterious UFO or UFOs. And I began to look at the idea of “there are no such things as coincidences” a little bit more closely.

And as I read more and received more input, I realized that there are indeed such things as ‘signs’ that we perceive as coincidences and there are also such things as plain, pure, coincidences. Like when you buy a new car and meet someone who happens to have the same kind of car as you, or has a friend who just bought the same car. Somehow I don’t think a situation like that is a higher calling or sign from above. Or what happened in my own example above.

So I think it depends on the circumstances and also the info gathered as Bo indicated in his post.

I don't believe in coincidences either. Everything does happen for a reason. Just because we here in 3D can't make sense of it or find a valid connection to it, that doesn't mean it didn't happen for some reason. I used to always believe in coincidence and when I started to examine them closer, I started to find a meaning behind a lot of things that happen. Look around at the world we live in. We here are aware of the PTB and know they're in control of mostly everything out there, but for those who don't? They would see things happen in the world and say some of them would be coincidental because the tv was saying it one day and it happened the next. Just because they don't understand, doesn't make it a coincidence. Another example:

For all you know this could have been the work of 4D influence to drum up a little fear out of you and your friend. Feeding time? Just because you don't see it that way doesn't mean it didn't happen for a reason.

Of course I'm not totally affirmed in this belief, it just happens to be my opinion. Coincidences could exist, I just don't think so. Which is why I chose the signature that I did!

I would like to propose a crude simplification:

"coincidences" before a major decision is made(consciously or unconsciously) are vectors(negative connotation)
"coincidences" after a major decision is made(consciously or unconsciously) are confirmation(positive connotation)

Does it work?

 

[truth seeker]

This thread reminds me of what I recently read in John Keel's "The Eighth Tower" pages 193/4

The central problems of chimeralogy are more pbilo-
sophical and theological than scientific. While the effects of
many of these events are medical, the only reliable investi-
rative approach is sociological and psychological. The Eighth
Tower manipulates a few of us through its manifestations,
but it manipulates great masses of us through our belief in
those manifestations and our interpretations of their mean-
ings.

and

You and I are biochemical robots controlled by the powerful
radiations being broadcast from the Eighth Tower. Our brains
are programmed like computers, and many of us are suddenly
and completely reprogrammed at some point in our adult
life. At birth our entire lives are planned for us, and as we
weave and totter through our allotted three score and ten, we
find ourselves manipulated by 'luck*, by strange coincidences,
and by sudden changes in ourselves and our environment.

In my experience with what I believe are STS related coincidences, it will show something to you based on what it knows about you and wishfully thinking you will take the bait. If you do take the bait, it will continue to present the same things over and over in order to "confirm" your interpretation. One example I have of this is people I have spoken to that believe that Masons are after them. The persons I've spoken with say that some Mason methods include hand signals and the wearing of red items. The moment they subscribe to this belief, they will begin to see people in the street doing hand signals and wearing red. It's quite amazing how this works!

It also happens in far more insidious ways which is why it is so important to get accurate information so as to more accurately interpret what's going on around you. Another example can be computer problems. In my opinion, STS can create a situation where you're having computer problems. When people take the bait that this will be an ongoing thing, it will keep presenting the same in order to confirm the belief.

Note: I left in the typos because they are in the copy I have.

Yes, thank you. I also think clerck de bonk's quote

"coincidences" before a major decision is made(consciously or unconsciously) are vectors(negative connotation)
"coincidences" after a major decision is made(consciously or unconsciously) are confirmation(positive connotation)

is also from a Cass session. I take the fact that what I had read about on the Cass site in the morning also appeared in the MSM later in the same day as evidence of the second: that confirmation was being given that I had taken the right action in continuing to read the Cass materials. Interesting thread, but I am off to work.

The point is, this is the same thing that happens with coincidences , WE EASILY MISREAD, or MISUNDERSTAND IT.

Ofcourse it's perfectly okay to be observant about your environment, but you go too far when you start looking for a valid connection when there is nothing to be found, I think the best approach is to look at everything as data, keep an open mind, keep it in back of your mind, when more data shows you can look objectively if there is anything that could be of any interest, if there is not , just keep it in the back of your mind as data.

I share your thoughts here.
Yet, I think that both pure coincidences as well as events with a meaning do happen, the problem is knowing how to interpret the meaningful events. I find that the more we identify ourselves with a given event, person, issue, which ever, the more we tend to wishfull thinking, the more we feed directly to 4d STS and consequently, the more those meaningful events will be fuelled by STS.

I will share a little story of a past friend as an example of the above:
A few years ago I used to hang out with a friend who was desperate to see herself in a relationship. She would meet a new man and often experience events that were for her beyond coincidence. Now here is the real problem: she would see those events the way she wanted to see them. As an outsider, it seemed to me pretty obvious that she was dissociating herself from reality and leading herself to a dead end. I don't know whether the events she saw weren't at all there, in other words, whether they had no meaning whatsoever besides pure coincidence, but I am inclined to think that although some of them seemed very random to me, meaningful events will only have such symbolism for the person involved. So in that context, I accept the fact that she might have gone through a few symbolic events whose meaning only her could see because they were directed at her, but I seriously doubt her ability to see and interpret them objectively.
And here we get to the YCYOR issue, let us suppose that she did notice she was manipulating the reality of the events in her head, she would more likely have accepted that as the way to do it, rather then seeing it as a trap. I know I have certainly been "guilty" of that attitude for myself.

I am not to sure of this but here is a thought: will some meaningful events happen at the level of consciousness of the current observer? For example, when I was reading the wave books, Laura described quite a few "coincidences" both STS and STO fueled, the flavour and intensity of those experiences also seemed to follow an increasing level of awareness from her part. On the other hand, those signs are maybe there all the time and we just don't see them because we are not aware.

Personally, I had some truly incredible things happening to me. On two different occasions when I found myself very, very short of money (at the point of counting coins for food), money miraculously came my way. Making a long story short, let me just say that those were not two ordinary events. The truth is that at the time I was not even having the slightest expectation of having any help, so I was frantically searching for work and trying to find solutions. A part of me feels that the fact that at the time I didn't just crossed my arms and waited for it to come, the fact that I engaged my self on finding a solution opened the way for my financial situation to be sorted more easily then expected.
What I have observed in me is that when those apparently meaningful events occur, it is important to notice my current state of mind as well as my emotional state. An analysis of that can be a god indicator of what is fuelling the event: my wishfull thinking, or something that is actually trying to get my attention. Another trap lies here, that something can come from both sources. Discerning which is which is not very easy and is a learning process on its own. I think that, and as Bo pointed out, it is important to collect the relevant data with critical reasoning, use it if necessary, store it if there is no apparent use, discard it if proofed irrelevant or STS fueled.

 

[mocachapeau]

In my experience with what I believe are STS related coincidences, it will show something to you based on what it knows about you and wishfully thinking you will take the bait. If you do take the bait, it will continue to present the same things over and over in order to "confirm" your interpretation.

I think that's a pretty good interpretation of it, or at least a possibility. Of course, I have a hard time believing that anything I am doing could warrant such direct attention. On the other hand, as the C's say, nobody is a nobody, and what everyone here is doing is learning about 4th density, to some extent. If that attracts attention then who knows? But when it comes to the "coincidence" that kind of encouraged me to go ahead and give something to help QFG, I can only think of that as a positive thing. I knew it was the right thing to do, what I wanted to do, but I was hesitant for a number of reasons. It just gave me the push I needed to get on with it.

Thinking more on the subject I am inclined to believe that some things are just coincidences, but others HAVE to be more - they're just too eerie. But I think it would be an interesting experiment to compile a list of every single event that you might find to be a simple coincidence, and see if you can find any kind of common ground between them, or between groups of them. It could help to form your opinion on whether there really are coincidences, or not. If a number of these things seem to hold at least a possible common message, as small as it may be, it might be a useful tool in identifying more clearly what kinds of lessons you've programmed into this incarnation for yourself. Or maybe identifying toward what someone or something is trying to guide you. It's just a thought.

Another thing that I've been thinking about is the idea of trying to shed some light on the possible mechanics of this phenomenon. That would obviously entail a lot of speculation, but I found the idea interesting when examining how I was feeling around a couple of these events. This one in particular:

About a year ago I decided I wanted to try tap dancing. I wasn't keen on the Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly styles but I really liked the Gregory Hines style. Within the next month I was sitting in front of the TV, clicking through the channels, when I stumbled on a tap class rehearsing in a studio. The teachers had arranged a little surprise for the students – they had brought in live musicians, and Gregory Hines. It was then that I learned the name of his tap style: New York Hoofin’.

Beside the door to my little warehouse there is a small news rack that holds two of those free monthly papers, that I hardly ever read. For about three weeks I kept walking past this paper that had a picture on the front of an actor I thought I recognized from a TV show. He was playing a guitar, and that gave me the impression that he was now playing in a band. Every time I walked by it I looked at it and had an oddly, strong urge to read it and find out if this was the case. And the urge got stronger each time I saw it. Finally, after three weeks of this, I picked it up and took it into my office. It turned out that the picture was from a scene in his latest movie, and he was not actually a musician – case closed.

Next, I flipped to the last couple of pages to glance at the classified ads and there it was, on the first page I looked at, leaping out at me: TAP DANCE CLASSES – New York Hoofin’. The ad took up the space of four of the other ads - it was huge - and was the only one of its size. And the weirdest thing about it is the fact that what attracted me to the paper was completely unrelated to the information itself.

So what are the possibilities here? I think it's way too far fetched to believe that the dance teacher could have been manipulated to put that add, in that paper, simply to reach me. That's just silly. But, leaving aside whether this was a positive or negative influence, is it silly to think that some form of intelligence was aware that the information I was seeking was in that paper, and that it was the closest source of that information to me? That all that was needed was for me to develop a strong desire to open it up? Is it possible for that kind of desire to be manufactured in me?

When I think of how I felt every time I looked at the picture on the front, I can't believe how strong the pull was to take it and read it. Day after day I would stop and stare at it with what felt like a real need to know something that, today, I can't understand why it interested me at all. It was really an overwhelming feeling brought on by what amounted to no special reason.

Could it be my own subconscious mind that created that feeling? That seems pretty plausible. Especially if it is true what it says in The Ra Material, that the subconscious mind is the author of our dreams. And if so, does that mean that the subconscious mind is capable of knowing something like what is written inside a newspaper you haven't even opened? Or does it have a connection to some source that can know that kind of thing? In either case, what could that imply about the potential of our minds, or souls, when freed from the constraints of the veil that separates the conscious from the unconscious mind?

Or is it equally possible that this could be orchestrated by some 4th density minion, for whatever purpose I really couldn't know? Why? To get me spending more time doing other things than the work? A distraction?

In any case, this is the kind of question that builds in me the desire to make it to 4th density. They really make me want to know more about this kind of thing, to discover what my potentials as a human being really are.

Did you take the classes?

If you go through with it and it is 'wrong', then that usually becomes apparent.

When you resist an urge like this, if you don't take the classes, then it is difficult to know what the outcome would have been had you gone. So it is difficult to get confirmation that it would have been the wrong thing to do. Or put the other way around, it is difficult to know you did the right thing by not going. In those cases, you have to go with a gut feeling that something is 'off'.

If you didn't follow up on it, why not? If yo had the desire to check out that style of tap dancing, why not? It could be a way to get in touch with your creativity.

In these cases, the devil is, as we say, in the details.
