Mondays!!

Today I was working about 45 minutes drive to the west of where I live. Between jobs I ducked into a cafe and about 5 minutes later a guy walks in who I know. I haven't seen him since before covid and he lives a further 45 minutes west of where we were. A pretty random meeting which made my Monday something quite wonderful 🙂

"Let’s make one thing very clear: So far, there is almost no proof that JD Vance is directly responsible for the death of Pope Francis. All we know is that the vice president met with the pope and, a few hours later, the pope was dead. To draw a line between those two facts would almost definitely be a little bit premature." mcsweeneys.net/articles/gettin #humour #fun #coincidence

A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6

In her retirement, my mum has been learning to play the cello, having played it when she was at school.

She went to the Oxfam music shop at the weekend to get a book of studies, to practice with.

She found one, opened it up, and... saw her name written inside the cover, in her own handwriting from 60-odd years ago.

For some days, I leave open my telegram group to study how synchronicity is related with the development of #extrasensorial #skills. My idea is that we interact in the chat, so we can learn from each other. #Telepathy, #dejavu, #premonition, improvement of the way we deal with our dreams at night, #mind #reading, the relationship between art and the invisible realities, as well as the development of the #intuition, are among the subjects that we want to learn together.

Despites I am #autistic, and recently we have been noticed about the #telepathy #tapes, talking about #non oral autistic as people able to read minds, due to my experience in #oniric analysis, and the following of #coincidence at the same time, I can assure that everyone who is really interested, and friki, is able to start waking up these dormant skills.

On the chat you can speak in English, Spanish German or other languages because today with the translation bots is very easy to communicate with people from other cultures.

Here I leave you with the link of the telegram group in case you are curious. This is a test grup to see how it goes, and sometimes I am not keeping it as a public group: I open the entrance do it the first 5 days of every month but my idea is to keep it small so we are like a family and we feel safe to share dreams, coincidences, synchronicities oddities and many things that in another context are subject to get mocking, because we, #neurodivergent interested in these subjects, have to face that many people tell us that we are crazy, or that we are lying.

If you are familiar with groups of oneironauts you already know that in those communities there are a wide range of views and cosmovisions, so one of the main values of my group is that we can express our diversity with love compassion and education. We respect the subjective spiritual perceptions of each one, that's why dogmatism is not very much aligned with the vibes of the group. However we also search into scientific studies, what can be useful to learn our skills, and we hope that these subjects get into mainstream because more people remember the real power of their souls and minds. That will likely improve our planet: once you have been in communication with a plant, your behaviour will change. If more of us understand that for example telepathy, is directly related with unmasking and with compassive communication, the autenticity becomes the rule and not the exception... Utopia can happen!

The Altar on the picture is one example on how we can make our dreams talk during the day by means of getting in contact with our inner child and interact with objects or art as a way of journaling and honouring our dreams.

With synchronicity, the more you follow it, the more you you start feeling that, rarieties, paradolias, #coincidences and the content of your subconscious is able to access to information beyond the barriers of time. That's why when you try to understand what is inside your subconscious and get into development of intuition, you can feel that you were able to "see" or "know" a future event.

Studying #Sincronicity talks about the nature of #time , but in order to see it we must analyze and explore different manifestations of individual and collective subconscious, and we must do it constantly.

Friends, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the coincidence of this, but a nun wearing a traditional habit just walked by our house (something I don't think I've seen in the 25 years we've been living here)—just as I am translating a museum exhibition on the Ursuline Order.

If I were a religious person, I might take it as a sign. Of what, I'm not sure. Maybe to take the rest of the day off? LOL

"the experience of coincidences should not be viewed as an example of human irrationality but instead as a fundamental consequence of rational cognition. We can only describe the relationship between two events as truly coincidental if we have first excluded potential causal links"

Nautilus · What Are the Chances?There are no such things as coincidences.

Just as I was getting ready to leave the house, there was a sudden power surge and then a big BZZZZT as though a transformer exploded and then the power went out. I ran outdoors but the transformers were fine. The power came back on, and a neighbour stood in her driveway all flustered. She said she opened her car trunk and the power line exploded. Directly overhead, the insulation was missing and the wire a bit frayed.

She kept apologizing for exploding the wire by opening the trunk. I can't imagine what that would have to do with anything, but I didn't see any exploded bird or squirrel. What do you suppose caused the explosion? #PowerOutage #PowerShort #Explosion #Electrical #Coincidence

#20books № 10:

📚 I keep this copy of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" in a special box that also holds other paraphernalia associated with an extended spate of stand-out coincidences and #serendipity that began last year and that has somewhat continued this year.

📖 One particular #coincidence involved my finding this #book in a Little Free Library the very next day after discussing the #novel with two women from #Belgium the previous evening.
