I have two instances of synchronicity(that I can remember at the moment; I'm sure there are more).
The first concerns birthday presents I received. On two seperate birthdays I received the same presents from two different people. On both occasions they were items that I hadn't asked for, had never given any indication I liked or would use such an item and had never used such an item before. In other words, these two people chose at the same time to buy the same completely random item for me. On one birthday I actually received
three items that appeared to have the same use, although to this day I have no idea what they are for! One was ceramic, one stainless steel and one wooden and they were very similar in design and size. I asked all of the donors(by letter and email because they all live abroad), what the item was to be used for
and none of them replied!!!!! I
still have no idea what they are for, as I have never seen anything similar since. I've given them all to charity shops as I didn't know what to do with them and they weren't attractive enough to simply put on display.
The second concerns an email I wrote to a someone. It was a very long email telling him about some experiences I'd had long before I met him. While I was recounting these memories, a song from that time was running through my head. This was 45yrs after I had first heard it, and in the interim I had probably heard it two or three times at the most. Although it was a number one when it first came out it hasn't remained popular and is virtually never played.
When I'd finished the email I went to YouTube and guess what was at the top of the list of videos chosen for me? You've guessed it! The tune that had just been running through my head! Apart from the fact(?) that YouTube can't read my emails ..... can they/it? I didn't mention the song in any way in the email. I didn't even mention a date, so it's not as if YouTube could pick up on that and pick the number one from that year. I don't mind admitting I nearly wet myself when it happened!
