Re: Mirroring Phenonmenon

Thats Interesting thanks for sharing, it's surely another sense. One that stands out for me, I was at the seaside swimming with friends, the location however was my parents home town in Cyprus, in this dream the sea rose and swallowed everyone one in itand extended out taking everyone. I woke up before I drowned, the dream had horrified me. That was a day before the Asian tsunami.

Theres an interesting stroy about the Asian tsunami and thats all the animals at a Zoo survived because they all went for high ground before the waves came.

although does pure coincidence exsist
exactly, reasonably and logically we say that this term is at best vague and misdirecting, thence only for everyday use. in truth there must surely be a reason why everything meets often remotely. when you begin to think that there must be some reason behind all coincidence then we have a whole lot of explaining to do! in my opinion the universality of reality is the only conclusion to most coincidences!

interesting story, again the only logical conclusion lies in the universality of mind - you were thinking of him perhaps because he was about to come into your presence! subconsciously you knew his mind - so to say, thus when he drew near you began to think of him. secondly is another aspect of coincidence, that beings and things are drawn together as if by a magnetism. this i feel is perhaps simply the ‘like attracts like’ principle being played out in the real world. the timing of course is often interesting.
i expect there are many other reasons too! but there is not simply the vague meaning of the term coincidence, that would be absurd.

interesting!
so what scientists are saying is that the animals could ‘sense’ that the wind was going to become incredible strong? so much so that elephants broke their chains and ran for freedom.
they also say that the animals took from visual clues like birds flying away from the tsunami.
i can see that senses have something to do with it, but by these alone they could only detect that the wind was getting stronger. birds would fly away from any danger irrespective of scale!

i dont buy it except in part, there seams to be more than scientist will admit.

Re: Mirroring Phenonmenon

An example animal behaviour not on the scale of the Tsunami -

My neighbour's dogs sense that she is coming home and start howling long before they see her or the key is in the door or her car is heard. Of course she is oblivious to the fact that I've had to listen to this pandemonium because they are just happy to see her.

Re: Mirroring Phenonmenon

A concept that I have been working on recently is we live in pure neutrality where pure coincidence does exist. Other wise why would evil or error exist which we see everyday? When we reach for the divine we reach for synchronicity and through this we see the elimination of the neutral environment and this process is forever continuing.

Re: Mirroring Phenonmenon

There was a forum problem earlier I think the server was going down and the posts I was making were failing, which obviously weren’t!
