In September 2020, my mother went into a coma, and would die a week later. Coming home from visiting her, I looked for a voicemail I had saved from her. I was devastated to find it had been deleted. I was listening to old voicemails from clients a little later, and suddenly her voice came on. It was another voicemail from her that I didn't know I had, telling me she loved me. Just as it played, the song "Someday We'll Be Together" came on the radio. I like to think it was a message from my mom, but synchronicity will work too.
Some synchronicities are so unlikely that it's difficult to believe they were random. I was on a business trip and had been thinking about a friend I had not seen in years. While we were both 3000 miles from home and staying in separate hotels, We each separately decided to visit the same museum at the same time and we literally bumped into each other. I concede that it could be "just a coincidence" but it didn't feel like one.
But think all the times throughout our lives when we think of people, are reminded of them, have a dream about them etc, when nothing of importance follows such cognitive events at all; we don't bump into them, see them, get a call from them, etc... I forget what it's called, but the idea is that we remember and take note of the remarkable coincidences that do occasionally occur just by chance in a lifetime of 70 or so odd years, but let pass literally unnoticed the probably hundreds of thousands of times when nothing happened at all following such conscious awarenesses... If you and your friend, for example, would not have bumped into each other, do you think you would have any memory at all _now_ of having thought of your friend on that particular day?
@@rjgood1 I can absolutely see that. I'm not a religious person now, but I was for about a decade starting in my early twenties. During this time I got caught in a terrible snow storm, slid off the road and was in some danger as it was an isolated area and cell phones hadn't been invented yet. Well I kept trying to get some traction so I could get back on the road, but no go -- my wheels just spinned. So I sat there for a while kind of worried and finally I said a prayer -- Lord send your angels to push me out now _!_ At which point I stepped on the gas, somehow my tires found some traction and I got back on the road. It took a long time, even sometime after I had already broken free of Religion, before I finally stopped believing God had worked a miracle for me that day
Once we break through our narrow limited thinking, its quite amazing what we begin to see. I still find synchronicities amazing, especially repeating time prompts.
I have a junior in the office called ML, an unusual name in my country. Since the covid year I have been trying to moonlight, and the secretary in the company where I just got my moonlighting work is also named ML, so is it coincidence or synchronicity? please help to understand. I'm new in this. Thanks 🌷🌷🌷
As of late, I've noticed a whole lot more synchronicities in life and choosing to see them or becoming more observant is something I'm trying to work on. Synchronicities seem to me, that you're following the path you've laid out for yourself.
I think it is all about meaning. Synchronicity is a holy grail of many intuitives. The point of conflict, in my opinion, is what kind of change in your existing belief system will the belief in synchronicity bring about? For me, it isn't just about beetles. Rather, It is about months, maybe years that lead up to that moment of spotting the 🐞 beetle. For the Intuitive personality types especially, the synchronicity isn't about just one incident, (although many times it is like that,) but more about being in the "flow of life". This can be seen in the day to day practices of many Esoteric cultures - For example - Shamanism - have a constant tap into the spirit of the world to learn to speak it's language, instead of being 'slaves' to our intellect. What we call randomness and disorder, has it's own order in shamanic cultures.

Synchronicities are the effects of a Quantum Mind. A small percentage of the time we will have the memory of an event before the event occurs. Let’s say the memory of a High School friend pops into your head. You haven’t seen this friend for 20 years. Three days later you bump into this friend at the store. Usually, you would bump into your friend first and then remember how you used to have fun in High School. But a small percentage of the time because of uncertainty at quantum scales, the memory precedes the actual event and this is synchronicity.
Why three days after? This doesn't sound like the actual meaning of synchronicity more more like coincidence, or it's a slow form of synchronicity. The event should happen not long after you think of it. A better one would be if u think of TWO numbers and right after u do, someone besides you says those two numbers to you in a form of conversation where he or she doesn't have an idea about you thinking of the numbers because they can't read your mind nor did u ever say the numbers out loud.
When I was 17 had just landed on a flight, I daydreamed about meeting my crush, a lead singer of a rock music band, at the airport. Ten minutes later, that lead singer was standing five feet across from me a t the front and center of the crowd of people awaiting arriving passengers. I had no idea he lived near my city, nor his schedule, etc.
My father, me and my son were all born on the same day, exactly 24 years apart each generation. My wife's mother and my mother were born on the same day and year. Do I think there is some quantum law of synchronicity? No, but it's a great conversation starter. With billions of people in the world, there are bound to be much more impressive "coincidences" than that, like the family with all of their children born on leap day or the man who was struck by lightning multiple times in his life, and even his grave was struck by lightning.
@@rckflmg94 claims for coincidence and synchronicity both appear to result more from the reporter's subjective perspective than anything else sans commentary, such 'events' simply are, like everything else (irrespective of the stories we come up with about it, afterwards)
Dr. Julia Mossbridge has conducted some very interesting studies regarding this, that seem to show consistent evidence of quantum (or other) effects/response between “intention” and “material” / future and present. I think this is very much worth consideration when discussing effects we observe as synchronicity: “The idea that events in what we call the future could influence events in what we call the present or past has been called retrocausation, retrocausality, time symmetry, or atemporality. It has been argued that empirical demonstrations of such effects include delayed-choice experiments and inhibited spontaneous emission. What unites these physical phenomena is the ambiguity about causality that they introduce. Presented here are empirical demonstrations of a similarly causally ambiguous phenomenon at a long (seconds-to-minutes) time scale. Specifically, the mean output of a photomultiplier prior to future events is, on average, recorded as registering different results depending on those future events. This phenomenon co-occurs with what is called a duration-sorting effect. That is, different experimental run durations appear to regularly produce different photomultiplier output that depends on these future durations. The actual output (number of photons detected) is recorded prior to the event that appears to predict it (the duration of the experimental run). Assuming these effects are replicated and no alternative explanations are found to explain the results, the implications for theory and applications of such long time scale, causally ambiguous duration-sorting (CADS) effects may have far-reaching impacts on quantum computing, physiology, psychology and our understanding of the foundations of physics. 2 Novel atemporal behavior; “

I just read your post after coming home from a busy night at a restaurant. It really resonated with me. Here's why: My mother was born on November 23, 1927 and passed away almost 30 years ago but I always remember that day and significant events always happen on that day. My gf died in a plane accident in 2019 and I had her phone retrieved from the wreckage and the hard drive was fixed. The repair man brought it to me on November 23, 2021. I was able to get into the phone and determine that she had put November 23, 2016 as the start date of our being "in a relationship." I shared that with a customer last night and lo and behold she said "that's weird. My birthday is on November 23 also." A few minutes later, the phone range and it was another customer wanting to reserve for October 23, and said that the number 23 is very important for her; as all three of her sons were born on November 23, years apart, and it was a custom for her family to go out to dinner with her three sons and her to celebrate this coincidence. Unfortunately, we are closed on that date (a Monday) so I had to turn down her reservations. What does this all mean?
I’m glad you interviewed this guy again. Not many people are prepared to argue alternative ideas. I haven’t experienced a good or strong coincidence in a while but now I really need to place emphasis on thinking about the meaning behind a coincidence when I notice one. I don’t believe random exists only chaos.
He tripped him up on meaning. It's the original physics theory. Only until the last century materlist injected randomness. They didn't disprove the original long held theory. They just pushed their belief onto it.
@@dadsonworldwide3238 so is simulation theory that I see people and news articles go stupid over on social media and I’m like what, why. So I agree, I would like to know more far out theories tho
I was really pointing to how he wanted to say but this is how we assume but no until 1930s we didn't and no one deprived original theories they just started inverting them and hi jacking creation science like tectonics , taxonomy, issac newton and Galileo s work. I'll post the greater debate here. So you can see a division established over time. A none controversial way of talking about it is classified as idealism. Things we cant objectively be observed but can measure secondary effects from 96% of universe . Like gravity, aiether , dark matter , plank length all the shordeimger equation waves , fields etc etc Then you have lines of thinking this spawns and flourished like You get spirit , soul, computation, programming, simulation, other deminisions all the things Judah Christianity spawned lines of thinking like logic and reasoning common sense. While physicalism is 4% of the universe and self explanatory..you know what these are physically. But the lines of thinking it spawns is materialism , naturalism , atheism. Always trying rename things like their theory as dark matter as it's real or can be physical. It spawned all the anti logics thinking like Darwinism , eugenics and evolution.
Marie Louise von Franz explains Synchronicity as the world of pure ideas, Plato’s idea and the physical world are separate, but in between is the realm of the Archetype. These realms turn like clockwork and occasionally match up, that’s synchronicity. It’s not just coincidence it’s archetypical meaning. See the novel The Alchemist
Synchronicity exists because the archetypal world is objective and exists. But that world does not have space and time. And oddly enough, quantum physicists also claim that such a 'place' or 'objective' reality exists. Interestingly enough, Carl Jung conceived some of his ideas from meetings he had with some of the first quantum physicists - including Albert Einstein, who theorized about the relativity of space and time.
@@jamenta2 I agree mostly but if there is no space or time there is no objective viewpoint. Emmanuel Kant got rid of the objective view point 250 years ago and said there can only be subjected viewpoints. Objective implies God. I don’t remember quantum physics saying there is an objective viewpoint since everything exists only in a state of fuzzy probabilities. Nothing exists in a fixed state that could observe.
@@markmartin2292 Think of a black hole Mark. You go inside it. What exists? The laws of physics as we know it do not exactly exist in a Black Hole. Yet the Black Hole still exists. It stares us in the face out there. Carl Jung insisted the Archetypal layer of his psychological model was also objective (i.e. not subjective, it actually exists) - much like a Black Hole exists. It objectively exists. We know the quantum field objectively exists - because from it comes the substantiation of actual particles when observation takes place. The quantum field is not "subjective". It exists, but not in the terms of Time or Space - at least when you go inside it. We're starting to not just get these "extra dimension" ideas just from quantum physics, although quantum physics certainly has established such things as non-locality as objective truths in our reality and also, considering Wheeler's double erasure experiment, the past itself can be effected upon an Observation. But scientists and modern philosophers are increasingly advocating more dimensions than the three dimensions we only can perceive ourselves in right now - String Theory comes to mind, and other cosmological scientists are suggesting other universes. Jung theorized the same kind of none time and space that was being observed when he was alive in physics by scientists like Bohr, Schrodinger, Pauli and Heisenberg (who arguably is the real founder of Quantum Theory) and Einstein (who rebelled his entire life against many of the early conclusions, but has turned out to be wrong with EPR and hidden variables). The problem I have with Kuhn here is he acts like he knows all there is to know about Carl Jung, and cannot even pronounce Jung's name properly. He trots out the same old unexamined tropes arguing against Jung's theory of Synchronicity, without even being aware of the material Carl Jung based his psychological theory upon. Robert (much like many reductive materialists) dismiss Jung's theory out-of-hand based on reductive materialism that still remains in the era of Newtonian physics. It is becoming more clear every day that Timelessness and even Spacelessness is an objective fact that exists within the reality we experience. Science has demonstrated this - and Carl Jung's life long research into the human psyche also demonstrated Timeless features objectively present and connected to the reality we experience from within and without.
I believe sincronicity is an evidence that our brains are more focused on our surroundings than we are aware of. So, we get a cue of what happens and then boom, sincronicity
I always thought this was how we get deja vu as well... The subconscious mind observes something, maybe only moments before our conscious self experiences it.
Consider all the identical molecules of a gas in a sealed container the size of a cooking pot. Now add two different kind of molecules to the gas. Gas molecules often bump into each other and they do so with a frequency that is directly proportional to the temperature of the container and the gas. Each and every collision is coincidental and there are many trillions of them happening every second. Does it make sense to designate any one collision special? Now consider the frequency with which the two different kinds collide with each other. Far less often, right? Does the rarity of the re-encounter make their coincidental collision special? No! Re-encounters are simply in the nature of particulate existence. (And a physicist could tell you the average time between coincidences given the volume of the pot, the temperature of the gas, the number of molecules, etc.). The meaning one associates with a coincidence comes entirely from one's thinking process.
I’ve had Synchronicities occur!! The best was in poor mental health I told My self I need peace! Look down at the floor and see a green rock in the centre of the room, I hadn’t seen for years with the inscription ‘peace’ on it.. that was my first synchronicity that occurred amongst more! Synchronicities suggest a higher power wanting its presence to be known!!

@@theflowmaestro Uncoiled human DNA would stretch 57 billion miles … That's about 150,000 round trips to the moon or about 720 round trips to the sun . . You see Mathematics in nature But I see poetry. DNA molecule has the same property of “sequence specificity” that characterizes codes and language. DNA sequences do not just possess “information” in the strictly mathematical sense described by pioneering information theorist Claude Shannon. Shannon related the amount of information in a sequence of symbols to the improbability of the sequence (and the reduction of uncertainty associated with it). But DNA base sequences do not just exhibit a mathematically measurable degree of improbability. Instead, DNA contains information in the richer and more ordinary dictionary sense of “alternative sequences or arrangements of characters that produce a specific effect.” DNA base sequences convey instructions. They perform functions and produce specific effects. Thus, they not only possess “Shannon information,” but also what has been called “specified” or “functional information.” Like the precisely arranged zeros and ones in a computer program, the chemical bases in DNA convey instructions by virtue of their specific arrangement - and in accord with an independent symbol convention known as the “genetic code.” Thus, atheist-biologist Richard Dawkins notes that “the machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like.” Similarly, Bill Gates observes that “DNA is like a computer program, but far, far more advanced than any software we’ve ever created.” Similarly, biotechnologist Leroy Hood describes the information in DNA as “digital code.”
I had a random conversation with a friend one day, and it we discovered we were born ten minutes apart, same day, same year..his mother had the same birthday as well.
I have had many synchronicities on a more regular basis. I don't know what caused them to increase other than I appreciate them more, but I make sure I dont get overly focused on them. If you change the word random to potentialities then there are so many potentialities that it appears random, but the choice itself collapses the wave of potentialities and it becomes solid. I can attest they happen all the time like he mentioned but we wear the glasses that keep us grounded. What's the reason? I'm not absolutely convinced but maybe it has to do with learning in this life.
You have a lot of insight. Would you give the keys to a big car with a V-8 to your kid? Would you tell a child something which would eventually destroy them? The universe is merciful that way. Trust me. This coming from a kid who did drive a big car with a V-8 as a kid when my parents were in Europe. I raced it, I did donuts and jumped the railroad tracks then carefully replaced the keys. It felt natural to me. Once I looked over at my friend who came with and he was white and sputtering with fear when I was just full of joy. I noticed because his foot was hitting mine-trying to kick my foot off the gas pedal and he couldn’t even speak. I drove like that because I understood atoms up. Do not do that with your kids. I learned things which should have destroyed me many times. There are reasons behind things we only discover later in life and the lack of knowledge is something like “footprints in the sand” for most people looking back. Life paths along the sea in the sands of time. Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤️🔥
@@spiralsun1 I notice when my heart is open to life and I let go of fear then the synchronicities happen...there are people that think they arent stressed out, I am no exception at times, but if they or I just stop and listen to the mind, its constantly chattering...when we let it chatter and look past it with our awareness that's where we can see the synchronicities and then the mind settles some too. I work as an ICU nurse and worked through covid prior to that I was a hospice nurse...I learned alot about controlling my energy...it sounds new agey, but I learned not to let my mind wander as much and as a result I had more energy....the surface level is that initially I thought it was right thinking, but then my thoughts were erratic at times...in those times I learned to look past the thoughts then i saw that it has to do with our energy. You notice when you listen to a powerful song whether positive or negative it elicits after thoughts..the energy of it comes first. Like entanglement its instantaneous
Paying it forward book recommendation - I spent a month in Peru and experienced ayahuasca for the first time. But someone I met there recommended a book called “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids. Blew my mind. Highly recommend it.
My most recent..coincidence..I said to my adult Grandaughter's dog was acting restless,bored."I bet you'd like to go to the beach"..the next day ,without us talking about it..she said they were taking the dog,to the beach..the dog's first time!!..🤔
Randomness is when science can't explain all the factors or variables that cause an event. Its just a mental construction. Randomness is not out there in the world.
The criticism in the video of synchronicity appears to be predicated on very simplistic examples of synchronicity. A beetle here, a beetle there. Gary Schwartz's book Super Synchronicity broadens the field of a beetle here, a beetle there. It is also an excellent sign post of what is to come. Look up Dean Radin's very complex and riveting experience with synchronicity. He discussed it in several videos. Just scratching the surface.
I was just talking about this subject couple days ago on Facebook. I think not just synchronicities, but familiarities that proceed synchronicities and déjà vu-has to do with the brain being burdened with trying to create the false perception of category and differences in a universe that in its natural state , is unified. And when the brain becomes taxed with trying to maintain this illusion, the burgeoning synchronicity‘s and familiarities which are the foundation of the natural universal singularity reveal themselves to the surface at moments when the brain is weakened
This discussion is above my level of thought, but I come to "closer to truth" to gain insight into my inner conflict like quantum fluctuations and nature of nature and what not. There is a fable that explains these dilemmas...... Four blind men were passing through the jungle when their path was blocked by an elephant, they did not know what it was except that it was alive. they used their only sense (touch) to understand what it was but couldn't, they moved on and in a village they told about what happned, but could not name it. One said it was huge another said it was like pillars (legs), a tail, a trunk or big flappers (ears). We as humans ask these questions which are bigger than us to get a grip on things and manipulate them.
Yesterday 8/14/22 I went to a nearby airport for a flying event. I was going through a shop and they had two Facetmobile airplanes under construction. A very unique shape I remember from 25 years ago. My friend said he was there the day before and said Barnaby Wainfan (the designer) was there helping work on them. And I saw him during the event. This morning a recommended TH-cam video was a 2001Junkyard Wars episode on building a junkyard glider. That sounded like something fun to watch (I use to fly hang gliders). One of the team's advisors was Barnaby Wainfan! I haven't heard his name in 15-20 years and I didn't do any searches yesterday or use his name in any emails or mention anything about the Facetmobile being there. I about fell out of my chair!!
I have had many synchronicities and they’re different than coincidence. I just had one where the scene from “Meet the Parents” where they played water volleyball popped into my head. I laughed because I haven’t seen or thought about that movie for years. Two days later that clip was on my home TH-cam page. I think synchronicities are connected to QM because they’re noticed after the fact. I tried to do this with intention and it didn’t work. A coincidence is different. Let’s say you hear a friend mention a 3 digit number and you say I’m going to play that number and you hit the number. That’s a coincidence.
Are you saying you had recently watched the movie and shortly after you saw the TH-cam clip, or you had only thought about it before it appeared on your YT suggestions?
@@NedSpindle that case defenetly is not coincidence. if you have your phone on, deep slate will know everything about you. But when syncros start happening, oh boy, the probability of things happening may easily go over 1000 fold over the coincidence rate. Nnnnuts.
Synchronicity might help us decipher how can we develop the next sense. My life is full of synchronicities but I actively ignore them because I can't evaluate how much of it is subjective pattern recognition. In this way, my brain is resseting and renewing itself constantly. I never entitle my reasoning. Stay healthy. 🙂 You're never "watched" by circumstance. You are the observer. The outside world doesn't know you exist as a whole. However, the universe might be aware of your consciousness. Poetically, you can connect to the subtle, unaware of itself or maybe just undescribable higher dimensions out there, but in an empty way.. apart from any language your brain is capable to explain out things to you.

So here's my experience, which was very recent. One morning while sitting on the River waterfront in my area, I looked back towards an old building. It was a Japenese restaurant at one tyme, the signage of "Sake" caught my attention, hmm I think odd. Later in day, 30 miles away at beach, I go to use public bathroom, there closed for repairs, however Porta potties were provided. I go inside, instantly I notice, the word Sake written on every wall, and on the toilet seat platform. This really catches my attention. I walk back to beach and find various public picnic table. In what looked like felt pen, the word Sake written. Mighty strange "coincidence" or perhaps some synchronistic meaning. Either way, it was very unusual..

I once came to the idea that life, humans specifically, are a sort of abandoned alien tech/code planted on matter for the purpose to help them fix their spaceship. I understand its a silly idea and I do not think its entirely true but keep in mind I was doing LSD. Technology we create has a lot of systems that you can find in the human body such as a temperature control, a fuel system, energy storage, etc. In fact we are trying to create other beings like us without using our built in reproductive system. I am a computer guy so to me it looks like there is a sort of programming that keeps us consuming matter in order to expand, a lot like a corrosive agent on a piece of metal but more complex. In life I see systems within systems under other systems, as they get more complex and different elements mix, the chemical reactions create other systems. Its a huge snowball effect at work.
The question may be neither that randomness is absolute or that meaning (and consciousness-inferred meaningfulness) is irreducible as necessary and intrinsic. It may be that randomness and meaning are dependent properties or qualities of both the world and of our experience of it. In this sense - the existence of pattern within, through or as significance requires consciousness in some way undefined (or undefinable) in and as the world but considering that we as conscious beings must articulate our experience as knowledge through language, it doesn't take much investment of effort to realise that all of these questions in and from language and of linguistically-inflected ontology are, at base, questions regarding the limits of language, of the boundaries of knowledge explicable through language. This is, then, a matter of the words we use and the ways we intend to use them, and only peripherally a question of the presence of macroscopic quantum non-locality in the world or of the recurring mysteries and uncanny coincidences that percolate through (and as) our experience of it. There is actually a way to recurse this problem back into itself and to emerge on the other side with less confusion. It requires a radically novel discursive ontology that itself approximates to ER = EPR as being something of a distributed cosmological topology. The underlying symmetry reproduces both us and our languages of reflexively self-validating epistemological limitation as the transmission medium through which it optimally self-propagates. It is, as it goes on social media relationship statuses, complicated... synchronicity is like poetry in the meanings of the word but we are (all) just not quite clever enough to perceive it. Mischievously, it itself might lose its curiosity value and linguistic (as cognitive ) utility if we actually did understand it. I don't suppose anyone will ever read this. ✌😉
Coincidences and synchronous events are a daily occurrence for me as a waiter at the same restaurant for the last 35 years. Last night, a regular customer, who has a reputation as a wordsmith, came in and asked me if i knew what a palindrome was and I said sure, that's where a word like racecar is the same spelled backwards. Just then a new waitress I had hired came to pour water. He said "who's this?" She said "I'm Hannah!" He said "Hey, that's a palindrome!" Indeed, it was! Then another gal I had hired that night also came over a few minutes later and again he asked "what's your name?" She said "Ava!" He said "Aha, another palindrome!" I have literally hundreds of examples of such coincidences that have happened at this same restaurant over the past quarter century on a fairly regular basis. For instance, three people named Zach ordering carry out all in a row on the same night; three Kims who ordered carry out all in a row on another night; a party of 9 named Uspensky reserved at 7:00 then another party of 9 named Supensky reserved also at 7:00: they resembled one another but were two totally different parties and were upset that I had mistakenly put them at the same table. What does it all mean?
Conscious awareness leads to more and more synchronicities as one awakens. Most people are so lost in their thoughts they are not devoting any of their attention to what is going on around us all the time ...
If one takes matter as the fundamental reality of our universe, then it becomes very hard to incorporate synchronous happenings but if our reality is fundamentally based on some consciousness - as many Eastern Philosophies posit - then we can have synchronous happenings. We are also exploring this question. Humans are now evolving to understand this reality not only mystically but now scientifically as well.
When you stop giving meaning to events and stop looking for meaning in the events in total silence of thought observing in meditative state you may be aware of synchronicity. Feels a little paradoxal. Being a little ego dead
My brain filter is on the blink. I keep noticing things like while on foot there being no cars at an intersection until I reach it, or the law of the locker room, by which any two people in an otherwise empty locker room will have lockers right next to each other, or the incredible coincidental meetings I have. It strains belief that these are just coincidences.
Well, the fact might be that you don't notice the times when you are alone in the locker room, or when there is somewhere else in the room you can't see, or that you don't remember the times at intersections where there are no cars at all. It might be that your memory stores the events that you find synchronistic instead of all the other times where things are not synchronised. Like, right now, there is nobody at home here, and nothing particular is taking place while I'm writing this. I should be writing an eulogy for my father, but I'm writing this instead. That however, is pretty strange to me, and I might remember it if I don't finish the eulogy in two days.
Syncronicity sounds like some sort of weird duality when certain events occur when least expect it to happen. It seems like a hammer which has a choice on the nail it's going to use.
When my oldest daughter was born, at the exact same time. They were putting my dads mother in the ground during her funeral. My daughter and my dad are so close air couldn’t separate them lol a synchronized moment in time that’s so special.
From my experience with Synchronicity, it doesn't matter whether there is any meaning in it or not - they happen too often to be random. That in itself is out of the ordinary.
Randomness cannot be the default condition. That can only be synthesis: The unification required to enable a thing to be partially "the same" but also partially "different" than some other thing, and the unification required to enable things to be physically separate but without disallowing "action at a distance." Neither distinction nor identicality can be absolute.
I have experienced synchronicities. Sometimes so strong it felt like God Himself plopping down a flashing neon sign in front of me saying "This way, dummy." NONETHELESS I have to admit there is no way to quantify how likely or unlikely any given synchronous-seeming event really is because the terms can't be defined ahead of time. So these will always remain in the realm of the subjective unless someone finds a way to force them to manifest in controlled conditions.
Dr. Julia Mossbridge has conducted some very interesting studies regarding this, that seem to show consistent evidence of quantum (or other) effects/response between “intention” and “material” / future and present. I think this is very much worth consideration when discussing effects we observe as synchronicity: “The idea that events in what we call the future could influence events in what we call the present or past has been called retrocausation, retrocausality, time symmetry, or atemporality. It has been argued that empirical demonstrations of such effects include delayed-choice experiments and inhibited spontaneous emission. What unites these physical phenomena is the ambiguity about causality that they introduce. Presented here are empirical demonstrations of a similarly causally ambiguous phenomenon at a long (seconds-to-minutes) time scale. Specifically, the mean output of a photomultiplier prior to future events is, on average, recorded as registering different results depending on those future events. This phenomenon co-occurs with what is called a duration-sorting effect. That is, different experimental run durations appear to regularly produce different photomultiplier output that depends on these future durations. The actual output (number of photons detected) is recorded prior to the event that appears to predict it (the duration of the experimental run). Assuming these effects are replicated and no alternative explanations are found to explain the results, the implications for theory and applications of such long time scale, causally ambiguous duration-sorting (CADS) effects may have far-reaching impacts on quantum computing, physiology, psychology and our understanding of the foundations of physics. 2 Novel atemporal behavior; “
robert i suppose most of us observe some kind and degree of randomness but do you really take randomness as a given? at every fractal, we see extraordinary (non-random) organization (like how trillions of cells can work together, forming creatures such as we are, for example)
I paused at 4:50 because...I experienced synchronicity an hour ago and was contemplating the occurrence and the term recognizing synchronicity just happened....I then open up TH-cam and this vid is at the top of my feed, released an hour ago. Synchronicity at its finest. Pay attention...its a nudge from...????
@Laura Great! someone is really trying to get your attention ..the universe or "whatever" is letting us know there is more..thats what separates synchronicity from coincidence. Im obviously not a materialist.
I think people may put too much emphasis on it. But, I do think that most people mistake things as synchronicity, or coincidence when they aren't. There's many doors we've yet to open about minds role and abilities in reality, don't let the easy answer hide you from the truth.
We have very sophisticated, well tested statistical tools to analyse events and detect patterns in data. If the world was spontaneously generating 'meaning' in a non-random statistically significant way, with no actual causal mechanism, we would very easily detect it.
I think you need to associate randomness with probability, then time. For example. what is the probability that when I am thinking about getting a burger for lunch that a coupon would show up on my phone? I'd venture the probability is extraordinarily small yet it happens. You might then say, yes but there are so many random events occurring that I was in the right place at the right time. But really what is the probability of being in the right place at the right time for that event to occur? Probably even smaller.
If everything in the world visible and invisible is interconnected and the whole universe is one giant organism of some sort then synchronicities are those little and extremely rare moments when our monkey brains notice that interconectedness. It's peeping behind the curtain to see what this reality we live in is all about.
Not an organism but a Function composed entirely of Functions. Universal Functions is the Hypothesis for Sir Issac Newton's watchmaker analogy over 300 years ago, and any machine analogy used to prove God ( intelligence) created the Universe ( Function). Only an intelligence creates, maintains, improves, operates, uses & fine tunes ..... anything that is clearly a Function with purpose, form/design & properties. is the Universe a Function composed of Functions and requires a Function maker to exist & to function. Of course it does. Science is all about discovering & understanding ... Functions.
But the universe is one giant organism, we are the universe, you me, the stars and everything else. Separation is an illusion, how can we be separated when we are all made of exactly the same things, heck, we are made of star dust, our Sun sustains our world which in turn sustains us, everything is interconnected. We look at the beauty of the outer space and admire the universe while forgetting that we are it... I had some spiritual experiences ( near death experiences ) that revealed me the oneness of all things.. In my opinion synchronicities are basically signs from yourself to yourself. From a deeper self within, do we even know how we move our hands? No, it just happens for us, everything is a happening, thinking is a happening, feeling is a happening. The incredible complex math and physics and chemistry that the brain does is beyond our conscious power of understanding and yet this power lies within us. Imagine having conscious control of the deeper parts of yourself.

Have you ever had someone call you at the exact same time you were calling them and so you both got a busy signal well that happened to me and my daughter but the kicker is we were both listening to the same song on the radio And we were both calling to tell each other that we were listening to the certain song
Reminds me of the time my twin sister and I sent each other the same artsy blank non-birthday greeting card for our 30th birthdays -- with an abstract painting of a sunrise on it -- and both wrote each other a similar kind of sappy letter full of emotional sentiments about growing older and all that... I still remember being stunned when I opened the card she sent me, thinking OMG, I'm an idiot! I mailed the card to myself. Of course I soon realized that I hadn't and we were both kind of blown away by the whole thing, along with our friends and family. But the thing is we have amazingly similar tastes in abstract art and are both prone to similar kinds of sappy emotional sentiments around certain kinds of events. So while it's always been a cool story in our family, no one's ever thought it as anything beyond just one of those neat rare coincidences.

Even if you can explain to yourself that consciousness is this or that, or consciousness couldn't do that... yada, yada, yada. You're failing to be aware that, whatever 'you' are, is using that very same consciousness to speculate about the powers of consciousness. So, if that's the case then 'synchronicities' enter your awareness as a 'shoulder tap' from your own consciousness, telling you to think bigger, something is wrong with your theory of the 'world' and humans in it. There are various methods to use to explore your own slice of consciousness. By doing so you can understand the larger picture of "consciousness" and your relationship to it.
Is this an example? I was attending the NY Mets game yesterday and my girlfriend asked if we would catch a foul ball. I said I doubt it because we aren’t in a common foul ball section. The guy next to us agreed. Literally the next pitch is hit foul and she catches the foul ball. ⚾️
Once I met two strangers who happened to live in the same house I lived in 35 years previously and had two photos of me and my family from when I was about five years old!!!!!!
Would thinking about somebody you haven't heard from in a while then getting a call or text from that person at that exact moment you are thinking of them be a synchronicity? I have had this happen to me at least a dozen times over the years, so much so it can't be a coincidence.
But think about all the times you've thought of someone and nothing happened afterwards (most of which you will have no lasting memory of, because why would you? nothing unusual happened) compared to this dozen or so times you mention when something unusual did occur. If we presume a ratio of, say, 250,000 to 12 maybe some statistician out there can say if there's a way this ratio ends up producing a significant result for synchronicity. But at least to my mathematically challenged brain, it seems unlikely.
My husband and I randomly both dreamt that Marilyn Manson died. Told each other about the dream so googled him to see if he’d actually died..and that same night someone had changed his wiki to dead and the date was the same as the night we’d both dreamt it. Yet he was actually alive and someone had done it on wiki as a joke, and no it definitely wasn’t my husband , he can’t even put the washing machine on let alone change a wiki page. Very strange
Robert maybe your answer lies in alien consciousness trying to connect with us in non conventional ways that you’re not totally comfortable with, and that is the point. Why not ask David Hauffman to answer your question? With the hundred’s of panelists interviewed by Robert it’s a challenge to find two who are in total agreement with each other, everyone has their own unique operating system. This is great for the publishing industry.
Isn't this just the law of large numbers? If you don't specify the number of times you roll the dice (the denominator), then of course interesting coincidences will and are bound to happen. I'm definitely a "the mind is what the brain does" type of person and don't find the idea that consciousness is fundamental to the structure of universe to be tenable. Even if it were, though, why would the _human_ concept of meaning (to say _nothing_ about different human cultures and what they each find meaningful or not) be woven into the fabric of the universe? Yeah, Robert's definitely right on this one. Mr. Kafatos's idea of synchronicity wrt meaning may be central to _his_ perspective - and that's fine - but I don't buy for a single moment that the _universe_ follows. It's just magical thinking to assume that it does.
"consciousness is fundamental to the structure of universe to be tenable." Why is that? "and are bound to happen.

Even if it were, though, why would the human concept of meaning (to say nothing about different human cultures and what they each find meaningful or not) be woven into the fabric of the universe?" Meaning is just a set of cognitive associations. The fact that certain mental states are cognitively associated with one another, and this manifests in the external world, should be no surprise if the physical world is also constituted of mental states.

In September 2020, my mother went into a coma, and would die a week later. Coming home from visiting her, I looked for a voicemail I had saved from her. I was devastated to find it had been deleted. I was listening to old voicemails from clients a little later, and suddenly her voice came on. It was another voicemail from her that I didn't know I had, telling me she loved me. Just as it played, the song "Someday We'll Be Together" came on the radio. I like to think it was a message from my mom, but synchronicity will work too.
both works too, i think
That’s a good one. Thanks for sharing. ❤️🔥🙏🏻

I'm so sorry. I really believe it was your mother communicating with you.
Some synchronicities are so unlikely that it's difficult to believe they were random. I was on a business trip and had been thinking about a friend I had not seen in years. While we were both 3000 miles from home and staying in separate hotels, We each separately decided to visit the same museum at the same time and we literally bumped into each other. I concede that it could be "just a coincidence" but it didn't feel like one.
But think all the times throughout our lives when we think of people, are reminded of them, have a dream about them etc, when nothing of importance follows such cognitive events at all; we don't bump into them, see them, get a call from them, etc... I forget what it's called, but the idea is that we remember and take note of the remarkable coincidences that do occasionally occur just by chance in a lifetime of 70 or so odd years, but let pass literally unnoticed the probably hundreds of thousands of times when nothing happened at all following such conscious awarenesses... If you and your friend, for example, would not have bumped into each other, do you think you would have any memory at all _now_ of having thought of your friend on that particular day?
The fact that you were thinking about him before hand gives extra weight to the possibility that it was supernatural.
@@longcastle4863 I accept that it could be coincidental but I have to say that It felt like more than that.
@@rjgood1 I can absolutely see that. I'm not a religious person now, but I was for about a decade starting in my early twenties. During this time I got caught in a terrible snow storm, slid off the road and was in some danger as it was an isolated area and cell phones hadn't been invented yet. Well I kept trying to get some traction so I could get back on the road, but no go -- my wheels just spinned. So I sat there for a while kind of worried and finally I said a prayer -- Lord send your angels to push me out now _!_ At which point I stepped on the gas, somehow my tires found some traction and I got back on the road. It took a long time, even sometime after I had already broken free of Religion, before I finally stopped believing God had worked a miracle for me that day
By definition they aren't random.
Once we break through our narrow limited thinking, its quite amazing what we begin to see. I still find synchronicities amazing, especially repeating time prompts.

Since the covid year I have been trying to moonlight, and the secretary in the company where I just got my moonlighting work is also named ML, so is it coincidence or synchronicity? please help to understand.

As of late, I've noticed a whole lot more synchronicities in life and choosing to see them or becoming more observant is something I'm trying to work on. Synchronicities seem to me, that you're following the path you've laid out for yourself.
Synchronicities are the clues / links, pathways to understanding the hidden realm that runs alongside our so-called everyday reality.
I think it is all about meaning.
Synchronicity is a holy grail of many intuitives. The point of conflict, in my opinion, is what kind of change in your existing belief system will the belief in synchronicity bring about? For me, it isn't just about beetles. Rather, It is about months, maybe years that lead up to that moment of spotting the 🐞 beetle.
For the Intuitive personality types especially, the synchronicity isn't about just one incident, (although many times it is like that,) but more about being in the "flow of life".
This can be seen in the day to day practices of many Esoteric cultures - For example - Shamanism - have a constant tap into the spirit of the world to learn to speak it's language, instead of being 'slaves' to our intellect. What we call randomness and disorder, has it's own order in shamanic cultures.

Synchronicities are the effects of a Quantum Mind. A small percentage of the time we will have the memory of an event before the event occurs. Let’s say the memory of a High School friend pops into your head. You haven’t seen this friend for 20 years. Three days later you bump into this friend at the store. Usually, you would bump into your friend first and then remember how you used to have fun in High School. But a small percentage of the time because of uncertainty at quantum scales, the memory precedes the actual event and this is synchronicity.
HOLY FUCK HOW DID YOU PUT THIS SO PERFECTLY, this is EXACTLY what I've believed it is for a long time now, this makes the most sense
What you say is a deterministic universe. We already proved that's not the case so there's something else going on than what you say.
Why three days after? This doesn't sound like the actual meaning of synchronicity more more like coincidence, or it's a slow form of synchronicity. The event should happen not long after you think of it. A better one would be if u think of TWO numbers and right after u do, someone besides you says those two numbers to you in a form of conversation where he or she doesn't have an idea about you thinking of the numbers because they can't read your mind nor did u ever say the numbers out loud.

I just read your post after coming home from a busy night at a restaurant. It really resonated with me. Here's why: My mother was born on November 23, 1927 and passed away almost 30 years ago but I always remember that day and significant events always happen on that day. My gf died in a plane accident in 2019 and I had her phone retrieved from the wreckage and the hard drive was fixed. The repair man brought it to me on November 23, 2021. I was able to get into the phone and determine that she had put November 23, 2016 as the start date of our being "in a relationship." I shared that with a customer last night and lo and behold she said "that's weird. My birthday is on November 23 also." A few minutes later, the phone range and it was another customer wanting to reserve for October 23, and said that the number 23 is very important for her; as all three of her sons were born on November 23, years apart, and it was a custom for her family to go out to dinner with her three sons and her to celebrate this coincidence. Unfortunately, we are closed on that date (a Monday) so I had to turn down her reservations. What does this all mean?
I’m glad you interviewed this guy again. Not many people are prepared to argue alternative ideas. I haven’t experienced a good or strong coincidence in a while but now I really need to place emphasis on thinking about the meaning behind a coincidence when I notice one. I don’t believe random exists only chaos.
He tripped him up on meaning. It's the original physics theory. Only until the last century materlist injected randomness.
They didn't disprove the original long held theory. They just pushed their belief onto it.

You get spirit , soul, computation, programming, simulation, other deminisions all the things Judah Christianity spawned lines of thinking like logic and reasoning common sense.
While physicalism is 4% of the universe and self explanatory..you know what these are physically.
But the lines of thinking it spawns is materialism , naturalism , atheism.
Always trying rename things like their theory as dark matter as it's real or can be physical.
It spawned all the anti logics thinking like Darwinism , eugenics and evolution.
Marie Louise von Franz explains Synchronicity as the world of pure ideas, Plato’s idea and the physical world are separate, but in between is the realm of the Archetype. These realms turn like clockwork and occasionally match up, that’s synchronicity. It’s not just coincidence it’s archetypical meaning. See the novel The Alchemist
Synchronicity exists because the archetypal world is objective and exists. But that world does not have space and time. And oddly enough, quantum physicists also claim that such a 'place' or 'objective' reality exists.
Interestingly enough, Carl Jung conceived some of his ideas from meetings he had with some of the first quantum physicists - including Albert Einstein, who theorized about the relativity of space and time.
@@jamenta2 I agree mostly but if there is no space or time there is no objective viewpoint. Emmanuel Kant got rid of the objective view point 250 years ago and said there can only be subjected viewpoints. Objective implies God. I don’t remember quantum physics saying there is an objective viewpoint since everything exists only in a state of fuzzy probabilities. Nothing exists in a fixed state that could observe.
@@markmartin2292 Think of a black hole Mark. You go inside it. What exists? The laws of physics as we know it do not exactly exist in a Black Hole. Yet the Black Hole still exists. It stares us in the face out there.
Carl Jung insisted the Archetypal layer of his psychological model was also objective (i.e. not subjective, it actually exists) - much like a Black Hole exists. It objectively exists. We know the quantum field objectively exists - because from it comes the substantiation of actual particles when observation takes place. The quantum field is not "subjective". It exists, but not in the terms of Time or Space - at least when you go inside it.
We're starting to not just get these "extra dimension" ideas just from quantum physics, although quantum physics certainly has established such things as non-locality as objective truths in our reality and also, considering Wheeler's double erasure experiment, the past itself can be effected upon an Observation. But scientists and modern philosophers are increasingly advocating more dimensions than the three dimensions we only can perceive ourselves in right now - String Theory comes to mind, and other cosmological scientists are suggesting other universes.
Jung theorized the same kind of none time and space that was being observed when he was alive in physics by scientists like Bohr, Schrodinger, Pauli and Heisenberg (who arguably is the real founder of Quantum Theory) and Einstein (who rebelled his entire life against many of the early conclusions, but has turned out to be wrong with EPR and hidden variables).
The problem I have with Kuhn here is he acts like he knows all there is to know about Carl Jung, and cannot even pronounce Jung's name properly. He trots out the same old unexamined tropes arguing against Jung's theory of Synchronicity, without even being aware of the material Carl Jung based his psychological theory upon. Robert (much like many reductive materialists) dismiss Jung's theory out-of-hand based on reductive materialism that still remains in the era of Newtonian physics.
It is becoming more clear every day that Timelessness and even Spacelessness is an objective fact that exists within the reality we experience. Science has demonstrated this - and Carl Jung's life long research into the human psyche also demonstrated Timeless features objectively present and connected to the reality we experience from within and without.
I believe sincronicity is an evidence that our brains are more focused on our surroundings than we are aware of.
So, we get a cue of what happens and then boom, sincronicity
I always thought this was how we get deja vu as well... The subconscious mind observes something, maybe only moments before our conscious self experiences it.
Consider all the identical molecules of a gas in a sealed container the size of a cooking pot.
Now add two different kind of molecules to the gas.
Gas molecules often bump into each other and
they do so with a frequency that is directly proportional to
the temperature of the container and the gas.
Each and every collision is coincidental and
there are many trillions of them happening every second.
Does it make sense to designate any one collision special?
Now consider the frequency with which the two different kinds collide with each other.
Far less often, right?
Does the rarity of the re-encounter make their coincidental collision special?
No!
Re-encounters are simply in the nature of particulate existence.
(And a physicist could tell you the average time between coincidences
given the volume of the pot, the temperature of the gas, the number of molecules, etc.).
The meaning one associates with a coincidence comes entirely from one's thinking process.

You see Mathematics in nature But I see poetry.
DNA molecule has the same property of “sequence specificity” that characterizes codes and language. DNA sequences do not just possess “information” in the strictly mathematical sense described by pioneering information theorist Claude Shannon. Shannon related the amount of information in a sequence of symbols to the improbability of the sequence (and the reduction of uncertainty associated with it). But DNA base sequences do not just exhibit a mathematically measurable degree of improbability. Instead, DNA contains information in the richer and more ordinary dictionary sense of “alternative sequences or arrangements of characters that produce a specific effect.” DNA base sequences convey instructions. They perform functions and produce specific effects. Thus, they not only possess “Shannon information,” but also what has been called “specified” or “functional information.”
Like the precisely arranged zeros and ones in a computer program, the chemical bases in DNA convey instructions by virtue of their specific arrangement - and in accord with an independent symbol convention known as the “genetic code.” Thus, atheist-biologist Richard Dawkins notes that “the machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like.” Similarly, Bill Gates observes that “DNA is like a computer program, but far, far more advanced than any software we’ve ever created.” Similarly, biotechnologist Leroy Hood describes the information in DNA as “digital code.”

@akeem jack
How? Can you elaborate?
I have had many synchronicities on a more regular basis. I don't know what caused them to increase other than I appreciate them more, but I make sure I dont get overly focused on them. If you change the word random to potentialities then there are so many potentialities that it appears random, but the choice itself collapses the wave of potentialities and it becomes solid. I can attest they happen all the time like he mentioned but we wear the glasses that keep us grounded. What's the reason? I'm not absolutely convinced but maybe it has to do with learning in this life.
You have a lot of insight. Would you give the keys to a big car with a V-8 to your kid? Would you tell a child something which would eventually destroy them? The universe is merciful that way. Trust me. This coming from a kid who did drive a big car with a V-8 as a kid when my parents were in Europe. I raced it, I did donuts and jumped the railroad tracks then carefully replaced the keys. It felt natural to me. Once I looked over at my friend who came with and he was white and sputtering with fear when I was just full of joy. I noticed because his foot was hitting mine-trying to kick my foot off the gas pedal and he couldn’t even speak. I drove like that because I understood atoms up. Do not do that with your kids. I learned things which should have destroyed me many times. There are reasons behind things we only discover later in life and the lack of knowledge is something like “footprints in the sand” for most people looking back. Life paths along the sea in the sands of time. Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤️🔥
@@spiralsun1 I notice when my heart is open to life and I let go of fear then the synchronicities happen...there are people that think they arent stressed out, I am no exception at times, but if they or I just stop and listen to the mind, its constantly chattering...when we let it chatter and look past it with our awareness that's where we can see the synchronicities and then the mind settles some too. I work as an ICU nurse and worked through covid prior to that I was a hospice nurse...I learned alot about controlling my energy...it sounds new agey, but I learned not to let my mind wander as much and as a result I had more energy....the surface level is that initially I thought it was right thinking, but then my thoughts were erratic at times...in those times I learned to look past the thoughts then i saw that it has to do with our energy. You notice when you listen to a powerful song whether positive or negative it elicits after thoughts..the energy of it comes first. Like entanglement its instantaneous
@@jms4406 This is awesome. Best comment on synchronicity I have read I think 🤔 ❤️👍🏻 Thank you!
Your perception has changed, if you listen to the universe you'll see them all the time. 🙂
Paying it forward book recommendation - I spent a month in Peru and experienced ayahuasca for the first time. But someone I met there recommended a book called “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids. Blew my mind. Highly recommend it.
My advice: be open to synchronicity, pay close attention to everything, and keep a 'synchronicity diary' yes, keep notes, document.
My most recent..coincidence..I said to my adult Grandaughter's dog was acting restless,bored."I bet you'd like to go to the beach"..the next day ,without us talking about it..she said they were taking the dog,to the beach..the dog's first time!!..🤔
My brain melted and synchronized with the outside of my ears.
Sounds like a pretty amazing meat helmet.
Randomness is when science can't explain all the factors or variables that cause an event. Its just a mental construction. Randomness is not out there in the world.
The criticism in the video of synchronicity appears to be predicated on very simplistic examples of synchronicity. A beetle here, a beetle there.
Gary Schwartz's book Super Synchronicity broadens the field of a beetle here, a beetle there.
It is also an excellent sign post of what is to come. Look up Dean Radin's very complex and riveting experience with synchronicity. He discussed it in several videos. Just scratching the surface.
I was just talking about this subject couple days ago on Facebook. I think not just synchronicities, but familiarities that proceed synchronicities and déjà vu-has to do with the brain being burdened with trying to create the false perception of category and differences in a universe that in its natural state , is unified. And when the brain becomes taxed with trying to maintain this illusion, the burgeoning synchronicity‘s and familiarities which are the foundation of the natural universal singularity reveal themselves to the surface at moments when the brain is weakened
This discussion is above my level of thought, but I come to "closer to truth" to gain insight into my inner conflict like quantum fluctuations and nature of nature and what not.
There is a fable that explains these dilemmas......
Four blind men were passing through the jungle when their path was blocked by an elephant, they did not know what it was except that it was alive. they used their only sense (touch) to understand what it was but couldn't, they moved on and in a village they told about what happned, but could not name it. One said it was huge another said it was like pillars (legs), a tail, a trunk or big flappers (ears).
We as humans ask these questions which are bigger than us to get a grip on things and manipulate them.
Yesterday 8/14/22 I went to a nearby airport for a flying event. I was going through a shop and they had two Facetmobile airplanes under construction. A very unique shape I remember from 25 years ago. My friend said he was there the day before and said Barnaby Wainfan (the designer) was there helping work on them. And I saw him during the event. This morning a recommended TH-cam video was a 2001Junkyard Wars episode on building a junkyard glider. That sounded like something fun to watch (I use to fly hang gliders). One of the team's advisors was Barnaby Wainfan! I haven't heard his name in 15-20 years and I didn't do any searches yesterday or use his name in any emails or mention anything about the Facetmobile being there. I about fell out of my chair!!
Carl Jung explains in his book very well , also some examples from his own life about synchronicity
Always fascinating discussions on this channel! I wish I could have deep conversations like this 🙂
I know the feeling. Why can't we have people irl to exchange ideas with?
I have had many synchronicities and they’re different than coincidence. I just had one where the scene from “Meet the Parents” where they played water volleyball popped into my head. I laughed because I haven’t seen or thought about that movie for years. Two days later that clip was on my home TH-cam page. I think synchronicities are connected to QM because they’re noticed after the fact. I tried to do this with intention and it didn’t work. A coincidence is different. Let’s say you hear a friend mention a 3 digit number and you say I’m going to play that number and you hit the number. That’s a coincidence.
Did you mention thinking about that scene to anyone within audible range of your smartphone? Maybe not a coincidence.
Are you saying you had recently watched the movie and shortly after you saw the TH-cam clip, or you had only thought about it before it appeared on your YT suggestions?
@@NedSpindle that case defenetly is not coincidence. if you have your phone on, deep slate will know everything about you. But when syncros start happening, oh boy, the probability of things happening may easily go over 1000 fold over the coincidence rate. Nnnnuts.
Synchronicity might help us decipher how can we develop the next sense. My life is full of synchronicities but I actively ignore them because I can't evaluate how much of it is subjective pattern recognition. In this way, my brain is resseting and renewing itself constantly. I never entitle my reasoning. Stay healthy. 🙂 You're never "watched" by circumstance. You are the observer. The outside world doesn't know you exist as a whole. However, the universe might be aware of your consciousness. Poetically, you can connect to the subtle, unaware of itself or maybe just undescribable higher dimensions out there, but in an empty way.. apart from any language your brain is capable to explain out things to you.
Metaphysics
Contrast plus harmony (love) creates an explosion of joy and wisdom whereby the joy and wisdom created is greater than the sum of the parts.
Contrast plus ignorance (greed) does the exact opposite.
Very interesting concept. Another good episode.
So here's my experience, which was very recent.
One morning while sitting on the River waterfront in my area, I looked back towards an old building.
It was a Japenese restaurant at one tyme, the signage of "Sake" caught my attention, hmm I think odd.
Later in day, 30 miles away at beach, I go to use public bathroom, there closed for repairs, however Porta potties were provided.
I go inside, instantly I notice, the word Sake written on every wall, and on the toilet seat platform.
This really catches my attention.
I walk back to beach and find various public picnic table.
In what looked like felt pen, the word Sake written.
Mighty strange "coincidence" or perhaps some synchronistic meaning.
Either way, it was very unusual..
The whole of life is a synchronicity between the soul and experience.
נכון מאוד ! ותודה !
You see Mathematics in nature But I see poetry.
DNA molecule has the same property of “sequence specificity” that characterizes codes and language. DNA sequences do not just possess “information” in the strictly mathematical sense described by pioneering information theorist Claude Shannon. Shannon related the amount of information in a sequence of symbols to the improbability of the sequence (and the reduction of uncertainty associated with it). But DNA base sequences do not just exhibit a mathematically measurable degree of improbability. Instead, DNA contains information in the richer and more ordinary dictionary sense of “alternative sequences or arrangements of characters that produce a specific effect.” DNA base sequences convey instructions. They perform functions and produce specific effects. Thus, they not only possess “Shannon information,” but also what has been called “specified” or “functional information.”
Like the precisely arranged zeros and ones in a computer program, the chemical bases in DNA convey instructions by virtue of their specific arrangement - and in accord with an independent symbol convention known as the “genetic code.” Thus, atheist-biologist Richard Dawkins notes that “the machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like.” Similarly, Bill Gates observes that “DNA is like a computer program, but far, far more advanced than any software we’ve ever created.” Similarly, biotechnologist Leroy Hood describes the information in DNA as “digital code.”

Uncoiled human DNA would stretch 57 billion miles … That's about 150,000 round trips to the moon or about 720 round trips to the sun .
I once came to the idea that life, humans specifically, are a sort of abandoned alien tech/code planted on matter for the purpose to help them fix their spaceship. I understand its a silly idea and I do not think its entirely true but keep in mind I was doing LSD. Technology we create has a lot of systems that you can find in the human body such as a temperature control, a fuel system, energy storage, etc. In fact we are trying to create other beings like us without using our built in reproductive system. I am a computer guy so to me it looks like there is a sort of programming that keeps us consuming matter in order to expand, a lot like a corrosive agent on a piece of metal but more complex. In life I see systems within systems under other systems, as they get more complex and different elements mix, the chemical reactions create other systems. Its a huge snowball effect at work.
The question may be neither that randomness is absolute or that meaning (and consciousness-inferred meaningfulness) is irreducible as necessary and intrinsic. It may be that randomness and meaning are dependent properties or qualities of both the world and of our experience of it. In this sense - the existence of pattern within, through or as significance requires consciousness in some way undefined (or undefinable) in and as the world but considering that we as conscious beings must articulate our experience as knowledge through language, it doesn't take much investment of effort to realise that all of these questions in and from language and of linguistically-inflected ontology are, at base, questions regarding the limits of language, of the boundaries of knowledge explicable through language.
This is, then, a matter of the words we use and the ways we intend to use them, and only peripherally a question of the presence of macroscopic quantum non-locality in the world or of the recurring mysteries and uncanny coincidences that percolate through (and as) our experience of it. There is actually a way to recurse this problem back into itself and to emerge on the other side with less confusion. It requires a radically novel discursive ontology that itself approximates to ER = EPR as being something of a distributed cosmological topology.
The underlying symmetry reproduces both us and our languages of reflexively self-validating epistemological limitation as the transmission medium through which it optimally self-propagates. It is, as it goes on social media relationship statuses, complicated... synchronicity is like poetry in the meanings of the word but we are (all) just not quite clever enough to perceive it. Mischievously, it itself might lose its curiosity value and linguistic (as cognitive ) utility if we actually did understand it.
I don't suppose anyone will ever read this.

Coincidences and synchronous events are a daily occurrence for me as a waiter at the same restaurant for the last 35 years. Last night, a regular customer, who has a reputation as a wordsmith, came in and asked me if i knew what a palindrome was and I said sure, that's where a word like racecar is the same spelled backwards. Just then a new waitress I had hired came to pour water. He said "who's this?" She said "I'm Hannah!" He said "Hey, that's a palindrome!" Indeed, it was! Then another gal I had hired that night also came over a few minutes later and again he asked "what's your name?" She said "Ava!" He said "Aha, another palindrome!" I have literally hundreds of examples of such coincidences that have happened at this same restaurant over the past quarter century on a fairly regular basis. For instance, three people named Zach ordering carry out all in a row on the same night; three Kims who ordered carry out all in a row on another night; a party of 9 named Uspensky reserved at 7:00 then another party of 9 named Supensky reserved also at 7:00: they resembled one another but were two totally different parties and were upset that I had mistakenly put them at the same table. What does it all mean?
Conscious awareness leads to more and more synchronicities as one awakens. Most people are so lost in their thoughts they are not devoting any of their attention to what is going on around us all the time ...
He looks like the Director from The Truman Show.
If one takes matter as the fundamental reality of our universe, then it becomes very hard to incorporate synchronous happenings but if our reality is fundamentally based on some consciousness - as many Eastern Philosophies posit - then we can have synchronous happenings. We are also exploring this question. Humans are now evolving to understand this reality not only mystically but now scientifically as well.
Very Interesting and unique take🤔🤔
When you stop giving meaning to events and stop looking for meaning in the events in total silence of thought observing in meditative state you may be aware of synchronicity. Feels a little paradoxal. Being a little ego dead
Underrated comment🏆
My brain filter is on the blink. I keep noticing things like while on foot there being no cars at an intersection until I reach it, or the law of the locker room, by which any two people in an otherwise empty locker room will have lockers right next to each other, or the incredible coincidental meetings I have. It strains belief that these are just coincidences.
Well, the fact might be that you don't notice the times when you are alone in the locker room, or when there is somewhere else in the room you can't see, or that you don't remember the times at intersections where there are no cars at all. It might be that your memory stores the events that you find synchronistic instead of all the other times where things are not synchronised. Like, right now, there is nobody at home here, and nothing particular is taking place while I'm writing this. I should be writing an eulogy for my father, but I'm writing this instead. That however, is pretty strange to me, and I might remember it if I don't finish the eulogy in two days.
Syncronicity sounds like some sort of weird duality when certain events occur when least expect it to happen. It seems like a hammer which has a choice on the nail it's going to use.
When my oldest daughter was born, at the exact same time. They were putting my dads mother in the ground during her funeral. My daughter and my dad are so close air couldn’t separate them lol a synchronized moment in time that’s so special.
Menas' laugh after Robert's comment at 7:54 made me laugh too. Very Larry David-esque
From my experience with Synchronicity, it doesn't matter whether there is any meaning in it or not - they happen too often to be random.
That in itself is out of the ordinary.
Randomness cannot be the default condition. That can only be synthesis: The unification required to enable a thing to be partially "the same" but also partially "different" than some other thing, and the unification required to enable things to be physically separate but without disallowing "action at a distance." Neither distinction nor identicality can be absolute.
I have experienced synchronicities. Sometimes so strong it felt like God Himself plopping down a flashing neon sign in front of me saying "This way, dummy." NONETHELESS I have to admit there is no way to quantify how likely or unlikely any given synchronous-seeming event really is because the terms can't be defined ahead of time. So these will always remain in the realm of the subjective unless someone finds a way to force them to manifest in controlled conditions.
Dr. Julia Mossbridge has conducted some very interesting studies regarding this, that seem to show consistent evidence of quantum (or other) effects/response between “intention” and “material” / future and present. I think this is very much worth consideration when discussing effects we observe as synchronicity:
“The idea that events in what we call the future could influence events in what we call the present or past has been called retrocausation, retrocausality, time symmetry, or atemporality. It has been argued that empirical demonstrations of such effects include delayed-choice experiments and inhibited spontaneous emission. What unites these physical phenomena is the ambiguity about causality that they introduce. Presented here are empirical demonstrations of a similarly causally ambiguous phenomenon at a long (seconds-to-minutes) time scale. Specifically, the mean output of a photomultiplier prior to future events is, on average, recorded as registering different results depending on those future events. This phenomenon co-occurs with what is called a duration-sorting effect. That is, different experimental run durations appear to regularly produce different photomultiplier output that depends on these future durations. The actual output (number of photons detected) is recorded prior to the event that appears to predict it (the duration of the experimental run). Assuming these effects are replicated and no alternative explanations are found to explain the results, the implications for theory and applications of such long time scale, causally ambiguous duration-sorting (CADS) effects may have far-reaching impacts on quantum computing, physiology, psychology and our understanding of the foundations of physics. 2 Novel atemporal behavior; “
The message in the bottle is I have synchronicity every breath I take, even walking on the moon..
all seven days ?

i suppose most of us observe some kind and degree of randomness
but do you really take randomness as a given?
at every fractal, we see extraordinary (non-random) organization
(like how trillions of cells can work together, forming creatures such as we are, for example)
Honest debate. Refreshing.
Perhaps sometime, one needs to exercise a little faith. I find it useful. Sometimes, it just a smile.
thank you mmuch for your work!! :)
little inconsistencies creeping in.... its always the start of a change in worldview - can we turn it into science? but what is science?
it's not coincidences, but consequences
I paused at 4:50 because...I experienced synchronicity an hour ago and was contemplating the occurrence and the term recognizing synchronicity just happened....I then open up TH-cam and this vid is at the top of my feed, released an hour ago. Synchronicity at its finest. Pay attention...its a nudge from...????
@Laura Great! someone is really trying to get your attention ..the universe or "whatever" is letting us know there is more..thats what separates synchronicity from coincidence. Im obviously not a materialist.
Things happening at same time have meaning if time has meaning? Can time give meaning to events?
Lol Robert grilled this guy pretty good!
I think people may put too much emphasis on it. But, I do think that most people mistake things as synchronicity, or coincidence when they aren't. There's many doors we've yet to open about minds role and abilities in reality, don't let the easy answer hide you from the truth.
Everything is connected to everything else... 😇😇
We have very sophisticated, well tested statistical tools to analyse events and detect patterns in data. If the world was spontaneously generating 'meaning' in a non-random statistically significant way, with no actual causal mechanism, we would very easily detect it.
Amazing channel
I think you need to associate randomness with probability, then time. For example. what is the probability that when I am thinking about getting a burger for lunch that a coupon would show up on my phone? I'd venture the probability is extraordinarily small yet it happens. You might then say, yes but there are so many random events occurring that I was in the right place at the right time. But really what is the probability of being in the right place at the right time for that event to occur? Probably even smaller.
Coïncidence and chance or luck do not existe in this cosmos again is à type of algorithmes.
If everything in the world visible and invisible is interconnected and the whole universe is one giant organism of some sort then synchronicities are those little and extremely rare moments when our monkey brains notice that interconectedness. It's peeping behind the curtain to see what this reality we live in is all about.
Not an organism but a Function composed entirely of Functions.
Universal Functions is the Hypothesis for Sir Issac Newton's watchmaker analogy over 300 years ago, and any machine analogy used to prove God ( intelligence) created the Universe ( Function).
Only an intelligence creates, maintains, improves, operates, uses & fine tunes ..... anything that is clearly a Function with purpose, form/design & properties.
is the Universe a Function composed of Functions and requires a Function maker to exist & to function. Of course it does. Science is all about discovering & understanding ... Functions.
But the universe is one giant organism, we are the universe, you me, the stars and everything else. Separation is an illusion, how can we be separated when we are all made of exactly the same things, heck, we are made of star dust, our Sun sustains our world which in turn sustains us, everything is interconnected. We look at the beauty of the outer space and admire the universe while forgetting that we are it... I had some spiritual experiences ( near death experiences ) that revealed me the oneness of all things.. In my opinion synchronicities are basically signs from yourself to yourself. From a deeper self within, do we even know how we move our hands? No, it just happens for us, everything is a happening, thinking is a happening, feeling is a happening. The incredible complex math and physics and chemistry that the brain does is beyond our conscious power of understanding and yet this power lies within us. Imagine having conscious control of the deeper parts of yourself.
Time can have a unifying effect, so coincidental and synchronous events may appear unified? Coincidence and synchronicity say something about time?
NOW I feel negative synchronicity, close to the dark night of the soul. Is it still synchronicity or is it kundalini?
I watched Pulp Fiction last night, and was thinking about Samuel L. Jackson this morning. I open YT and see this gentleman in a scally cap. I saw Mr. Jackson sneaking up behind, plucking this awful scally cap and flinging it away while muttering, “…you happen to pull this s*** while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you."
Pop-psych synchronicity at its most irrelevant, but here is a unicorn for you. 🦄
I experience synchronicity all the time. I even point out to other people theirs. It's part of God saying, when you notice something there's a reason.
So I drink a lot of beer and then I have to pee. You're telling me that's not a coincidence?
😂😂
It appears the camera got loose from the cameraperson. It's wandering around the room. Very distracting.
It’s a meaningful coincidence with deep metaphysical meaning and quantum causality.
It is your mind trying to tell you something, can you trust yourself?

I'm not sure why Menas Kafatos and Rupert Sheldrake get ridiculed . It saddens, me as critical as I can be sometimes.

Now google blocks everything out for us.
you asked exactly the right questions. good job
Have you ever had someone call you at the exact same time you were calling them and so you both got a busy signal well that happened to me and my daughter but the kicker is we were both listening to the same song on the radio And we were both calling to tell each other that we were listening to the certain song
Reminds me of the time my twin sister and I sent each other the same artsy blank non-birthday greeting card for our 30th birthdays -- with an abstract painting of a sunrise on it -- and both wrote each other a similar kind of sappy letter full of emotional sentiments about growing older and all that... I still remember being stunned when I opened the card she sent me, thinking OMG, I'm an idiot! I mailed the card to myself. Of course I soon realized that I hadn't and we were both kind of blown away by the whole thing, along with our friends and family. But the thing is we have amazingly similar tastes in abstract art and are both prone to similar kinds of sappy emotional sentiments around certain kinds of events. So while it's always been a cool story in our family, no one's ever thought it as anything beyond just one of those neat rare coincidences.
@@longcastle4863 some weird things happen because of being twins, like separated twins growing up apart on the other side of the country then meeting for the first time after 40 years only to find they are both wearing the same clothes...sometimes my daughter will text me the answer to a thought I was having a millisecond after having that thought .. I don't think much about it but it's just kind of neat
Wisdom though synchronicity.
Even if you can explain to yourself that consciousness is this or that, or consciousness couldn't do that... yada, yada, yada. You're failing to be aware that, whatever 'you' are, is using that very same consciousness to speculate about the powers of consciousness. So, if that's the case then 'synchronicities' enter your awareness as a 'shoulder tap' from your own consciousness, telling you to think bigger, something is wrong with your theory of the 'world' and humans in it. There are various methods to use to explore your own slice of consciousness. By doing so you can understand the larger picture of "consciousness" and your relationship to it.
Is this an example? I was attending the NY Mets game yesterday and my girlfriend asked if we would catch a foul ball. I said I doubt it because we aren’t in a common foul ball section. The guy next to us agreed. Literally the next pitch is hit foul and she catches the foul ball. ⚾️
Thank You 🦷
Once I met two strangers who happened to live in the same house I lived in 35 years previously and had two photos of me and my family from when I was about five years old!!!!!!
Would thinking about somebody you haven't heard from in a while then getting a call or text from that person at that exact moment you are thinking of them be a synchronicity? I have had this happen to me at least a dozen times over the years, so much so it can't be a coincidence.
But think about all the times you've thought of someone and nothing happened afterwards (most of which you will have no lasting memory of, because why would you? nothing unusual happened) compared to this dozen or so times you mention when something unusual did occur. If we presume a ratio of, say, 250,000 to 12 maybe some statistician out there can say if there's a way this ratio ends up producing a significant result for synchronicity. But at least to my mathematically challenged brain, it seems unlikely.
My husband and I randomly both dreamt that Marilyn Manson died. Told each other about the dream so googled him to see if he’d actually died..and that same night someone had changed his wiki to dead and the date was the same as the night we’d both dreamt it. Yet he was actually alive and someone had done it on wiki as a joke, and no it definitely wasn’t my husband , he can’t even put the washing machine on let alone change a wiki page.
Very strange
Excellent..... thanks 🙏.
How can you assume something is random? Proof please
Robert maybe your answer lies in alien consciousness trying to connect with us in non conventional ways that you’re not totally comfortable with, and that is the point. Why not ask David Hauffman to answer your question?
With the hundred’s of panelists interviewed by Robert it’s a challenge to find two who are in total agreement with each other, everyone has their own unique operating system. This is great for the publishing industry.
Isn't this just the law of large numbers? If you don't specify the number of times you roll the dice (the denominator), then of course interesting coincidences will and are bound to happen. I'm definitely a "the mind is what the brain does" type of person and don't find the idea that consciousness is fundamental to the structure of universe to be tenable. Even if it were, though, why would the _human_ concept of meaning (to say _nothing_ about different human cultures and what they each find meaningful or not) be woven into the fabric of the universe? Yeah, Robert's definitely right on this one. Mr. Kafatos's idea of synchronicity wrt meaning may be central to _his_ perspective - and that's fine - but I don't buy for a single moment that the _universe_ follows. It's just magical thinking to assume that it does.
"consciousness is fundamental to the structure of universe to be tenable."
Why is that?
"and are bound to happen. I'm definitely a "the mind is what the brain does" type of person and don't find the idea that consciousness is fundamental to the structure of universe to be tenable. Even if it were, though, why would the human concept of meaning (to say nothing about different human cultures and what they each find meaningful or not) be woven into the fabric of the universe?"
Meaning is just a set of cognitive associations. The fact that certain mental states are cognitively associated with one another, and this manifests in the external world, should be no surprise if the physical world is also constituted of mental states.
Very true.
the cosmic microwave background and the location of planet earth, this was written on this TH-cam channel before, now they wonder about the results of James Webb Telescope !
If life is basically nothing but a quantum activity for pure energy and that energy is one can't be created out of nothing and can't be destroyed then all life is entangled in someway to such extent that its different expressions can affect, communicate with each other
Yes everyone should used there gut To know if something feels right or not that is why those neurones in your gut.
SO what to do? DO or not to do? Because it would be happen anyway.
Time might be saying something through coincidence and synchronous events?
My personal belief/opinion.. Synchronization is when you connect with a person on all three levels of spiritual, physical and emotional.
These do happen, it’s just the amount of relevance you apply to them.
I never forgot how odd it was that random detritus in my school bag would find it’s way into some kind of order….the lid from a biro ends up on a random pencil, odd but meaningful?
