According to physicists' view, the energy field in the world is either in waveforms or quantum forms (in packets of energy as against waves). They say that the world manifests both forms but there can be only one. So their goal is to unify the two forms in one unified field theory. But let me stick to waveform theory here. Somewhere in the Bible, there is a passage that says that it was God's word that created this world. What is a word? In spoken form it is just a vibration thru air, or a wave. Perhaps, Almighty God, who is infinitely more powerful and complex than anything is this world can utter his word which is equivalent to his will, and his word probably is not just a simple wave of air, which is a simple energy in itself, but naturally like him it must be an infinitely more powerful and complex wave of super-energy - one that sends out magnificent torrent of infinitely powerful waves pulsating in the formerly dark, stagnant and chaotic world of no order. A wave that once released unleases a self-perpetuating energy (fact which is supported by law of conservation of energy) that can only be stopped by God himself. As farfetched as it may seem, it is because we humans see things with our very, very limited minds, which is biased in favor of believing only things that can be observed by that very limited mind, which basically sees only those things needed for his survivor - which is infinitely more myopic than that of God.

Therefore, as a waveform, the world moves in certain cycles, like ripples, which can explain why many things in this world happen in cycles and why still other things happen together, like the seasons, the cycles of ages like the ice age on the macro level and cycles of life at the micro level. This explains why there are coincidences, which are not coincidences (or happenstances, or just by chance) in the true sense. To cite some examples, according to Chinese zodiac or feng-sui, things happen at 60-year cycles. Although I usually don't believe in these zodiac or astrological based forecasts as they are usually based on very limited factors (the world is much more complex than that), that 60-year cycle seems to have been fulfilled in the 9-11 tragedy, which happened almost exactly 60 years after Pearl Harbor attack! So naively, I was considering something magnificent might happen in Japan on 2005, 60th year after A-bomb. But fortunately nothing happened. Perhaps, it was because Japan had not been involved in any conflict ever since WWII and so there was no more cyclical pressure on it to again suffer the same type of tragedy. I believe that Japan has paid all it's centuries of karmic debts at Hiroshima - nation which has a history of wars after wars - and they became one of the most peace-loving society in the world. So there was no more need for Japan to pay for anything, unlike the US, where the hate of many people, rightly or wrongly, is directed at because of their involvement in world affairs, particularly thru military actions.

As I've said, as an energy entity, everything in this world has influence on others as they are all interconnected in a web of one pulsating energy field, and as I've said, the pulsation might have started by the infinite energy waves unleased by God himself, I believe one of the more significant influences one earth is that of human thought or emotions, which is itself created by chemical and electrical energies within our nerves and brains. I believe human emotions has a some influence especially on his immediate environment, but collectively, I believe it has a very strong influence on it's environment, particularly on earth. Perhaps, that's the reason why certain tragedies occur at certain places on earth, and since these collective emotional waves sends out ripples, they tend to repeat itself at certain frequencies depending on how much those ripples are amplified by the continuation of the same actions that led to those waves in the first place. (But these historical waves have a tendency to wane at certain times.) In the case of US, they have been involved in world affairs which forces them to take sides and incur the wrath of others, which again unleashes hate waves that magnifies the ripples of the waves of tragedy.
But I think this is all part of so-called birthpains which the world has to undergo before it's final purification, just like the case of Japan, where eventually we will all live in harmony and in joy. Far-fetched, right?

I can go on and on and on with all these things but unfortunately my limited time doesn't allow it. (I want to clear one thing though, I'm grateful to the US which is, IMO, definitely making this world a peaceful place for most of us, even though I must add that they sometimes overdo it. But I can excuse them for the simple fact that they are doing it almost single-handedly, while most of the world sit comfortably on that fruit or security provided by the US, so naturally we can't expect them to be perfect in all their operations. I wish that the world superpowers would come together and stop all form of injustice, like terrorism and massacres, like in Rwanda, around the world. I was wondering what will happen if the US said 'NO.' [Attention, best-seller novelists, here's a potentially good book for you: The Day When America Said No.]

Let me continue what I've said on the above post. Things in this world tend to happen in certain cycles and when things happen in cycles, certain things tend to happen together. This is because our entire universe tends to move in cycles, like the movement of the stars and galaxies, and the revolution and rotation of the planets, and some of those movements tends to coincide or happen together at certain intervals. This is perhaps this world is, as Andre says, circular. This fact perhaps helped the ancient prophets to interpret and predict certain events by their reading of certain signs, which were probably nothing more than projecting their knowledge of cyclical events and corresponding co-events into the future, and using them for forcasting or predicting of those events and co-events which tend to recur at certain intervals. If you make a habit of closely observing certain events in this world, or in your personal life, particularly the more significant ones, you'll probably able to see certain events and co-events that recur at certain times. Let my cite my personal experience with one of them.

Several years ago, a fisherman's wife made a business proposal that required me to buy a small motor boat which her husband were to use to catch squids and which we would share 50/50. Since the boat didn't cost much, I accepted the proposal. To make the story short, the business turned out to be a failure and I was forced to sell the boat at a loss, no big deal though. But before I sold the boat, I took one of two cans of grease in the boat since I didn't have one left at home... Three to five years after that, one day I had an urge to clean up a pair of scissors that lay hanging at our kitchen unused for couple of years - it was an extra pairs that we use for cutting food packages, which looked slightly rusted because of disuse and needed cleaning. Since it was 'frozen' I needed to grease it a bit to get its blades moving again, and of course, I used the grease that I got from that ol' boat. While I was using the grease, I had this de jevu feeling of the time of that failed boat venture and sort of wonder what this was all about. Then, that night, several thiefs broke into our house through the kitchen and ran off with cash - almost the exact amount as the price of the boat which I paid for 3-5 years back! Luckily me and my partner were asleep unaware, because thieves here are usually armed and they usually don't take prisoners. Perhaps we were unharmed because of my strong faith - or at least I would like to believe so.

That event taught me some important lessons about this world, foremost is that certain events recur and certain events recur together. Ever since that time, I've been conscious of some events in my life and was able to see certain patterns on few of them. This is true, not only for some events in our personal life, but also for certain events in the world. There are many historical examples of those types of events, and I will post some of them when I have time.

(Actually, some events recur for some purpose, which is karmic in nature, but that is another story, so I won't go into that here - it's just too complicated.)
Mr. Pacfan, that was a fine story.

But.. please explain to Fenster the link between the rusty scissors and robbery?
