Strange occurrences, etc

[Gandalf]

There are a few I would like to sip a whisky with as that as is my new intention. I want to sip whisky in moderation as that initial sip turns you into an enigmatic force beyond all earthly consideration. No sugary juice with it, but proper stright whisky. I know nothing about whisky though.

2 days ago I received a junk mail from a company name "spectrum". I threw it out and within 1 hour I got a wrong number call from a young lady asking to speak with "Mr Speckman". I never get wrong number calls except for robo calls. What are the chances that spectrum and Speckman both hit me within 1 hour?

You have to factor in the fact that those two possibly unrelated things seemed like a coincidence to you but were actually probably just two distinct things your brain wanted to see connected. Coincidences are much more common than we lead ourselves to believe though and should be looked at as surprising concurrences rather than rare events. They seem rare because we look for patterns all the time whilst choosing to believe we are in complete control and so when we are conscious of them they jump out. What you really had was a near miss, not even a coincidence. It was nearly the same word but not the same at all. There are common types of coincidence because they are so prevalent.

Interestingly Jung believed in something called 'the force of synchronicity', it is rarely mentioned by people who claim to use his work as a basis for their own spiritually dead narcissistic bullshit, but it sprang from the belief in unus mundus, the idea that we are all connected in this reality as one world. It is why people are so petrified of Gerta Thumberg and words like community, solidarity, commons and communism. They fear embracing the idea that they are not really anything special and that their own ego is just a self created crash helmet that will disappear once they crash back into the soup form which they came.

It is also not a coincidence that Wally fell just like that onto an arse candle, when he lives in a castle full of them with so much lube on the floor. It just seems like that.

All I know is now you are talking about a psychotherapist when you said they are all full of shit.

He sounds like he has been on the LSD again. I am all ego and will never be a Communist.
