Indeed.
The weird thing is when it gets out of the matrix/internet where it can
be explained fully as "if you clicked this, then you might like this" algorithms at work connecting you to information. For instance, just the other
day I was walking with my beautiful wife down a path with sycamore
trees on it and for some reason I really liked them. I even touched one
and thought, "Great, what's next... becoming like those tree huggers?"
Then the next day I wound up reading about some guy that apparently
thinks he's a prophet talking about how the "sycamores have fallen"* in
America and so forth. That's just great.
But
in retrospect, the chances of pretty much anything happening by
happenstance within my mind of synaptic gaps were apparently 100%
according to the theory of natural selection and the fact that groups of
ape-like creatures once mated with each other due to natural selection
operating on the mating habits of ancient worm-like creatures after we
all emerged from a void of pretty much nothing and so forth. So there
is that. I know that perspective always makes me feel safer, like I'm
about to crawl into Mother Nature's womb.
Safety first!
*And
from there I found these perspectives on 911: (The Harbinger: the
Ancient Mystery that holds the secret of America's Future by Johnathon
Cahn) vs.
(The Most Dangerous Book in the World: 9/11 as Mass Ritual by
S.K. Bain) All just chock full of bunk and ludicrous forms of
retrospective pattern attribution, from some perspectives... and yet I
still touched that tree. So that and numerous other forms of
synchronicity still seem odd, from my perspective. What are the
chances? 100% in retrospect, I suppose. But what is chance, a cause
without an effect or an effect without a "mechanism" to cause it?
