| Ran across this site while googling. Being totally into the concept, I got stuck there for hours. Here is an interesting bit that explains the importance of the phenomenon: - Quote :
- Q. Why do coincidences and synchronicities in time often seem so noteworthy or meaningful?
A. They are emblematic reminders of Reality beyond time.
Time is how mind measures the immeasurable NOW.
Time is but a convenient conception of the mind.
Though convenient, time is not congruent with Nature – the Tao.
Tao and Zen are NOW, not then.
In Nature, all that ever is, was or will be is NOW,
and there are no “coincidences”.
But, because time is a product of thought,
time is always then, not NOW,
and in time there are conceptual coincidences.
As we transcend conceptually living in past time,
and begin authentically living in the timeless present,
we notice more and more so-called “synchronicity” or “coincidence” in our life stream.
These are Nature’s ‘bio-feedback’ or ‘radar’ signals
that we are existing out of time and in the eternal NOW,
where there are no coincidences, just natural harmony and synchrony.
Without time, there can be no “synchronicity” or “coincidence” in time.
Because humankind lives mostly egoistically in time,
coincidences and synchronistic signs of timeless Reality
often seem so noteworthy or meaningful. http://sillysutras.com/category/synchronicity/ |

| That all makes sense, too, when you learn that we all have a harmonic resonance, a characteristic discussed in physics books. Everything has one. Maybe we synchronize more with people (animals, things?) that have similar harmonic resonances.
On a tangent, many of the principles of the ancient art of feng shui are also discussed in physics books. It's not all "made up." |

| There is a really good book called the Tao of Physics which talks about that connection. I enjoy reading from it, but the coolest one to read, the one that puts it into everyday terms, is called The Tao of Pooh.
