Have you ever had a little feeling that you just couldn't ignore? Nothing big, nothing too important. At least not at the time. Just an urge, something that you had to follow through on the moment that you had it?

Then, when you followed through on it, it turned out to lead you towards something actually very important to you? Some kind of whim that lead to a big discovery or realization?

What do you suppose causes something like this, and what would you call it?

I just had one. I was hanging out with my friends when I saw one of my paranormal type books on the shelf. It was a book I hadn't looked at in ages, so I pulled it out to just sift through it while they were playing with their cameras.

The first section I flipped to just happened to have some information that was very pertinent to something that has been going on with me for a very long time. I was shocked that I'd never seen it before. If I hadn't picked up that book, I wouldn't have been given an entirely new avenue to research, new names, locations, etc. It's like a whole new slew of information was just tossed casually into my lap.

What on earth was it that just happened?

Synchronicity.

I've had some good successes with this, but it tends to be draining when I'm "forcing" myself into it. I consciously trained myself to recognize it for a long time.

For me it requires a quasi meditative mindset and just doing things without over thinking it.

I actually stumbled unto the principle while reading Hellblazer.. there's a few issues where it's used as a plot mechanism and the idea stuck with me...

Here, page 10 of the part 2 (I uploaded both so the story would make sense). The "passive scrying" part.

Hm...

Thank you for sharing that with me.

I've never really tried to force it, maybe looking into actually trying to reach that mindset is something I should do. Otherwise, after discussing this information I came across with someone else who's deeply involved, we both agreed that it was kind of a big piece of a puzzle that's been missing pieces for ages. Not sure where it fits yet, but still.

I'd be pleased if I could use that state to find other pieces...

The main "issue", in my experience, was finding just the right level of... passivity, I guess would be the word? Of letting the flow carry me enough to go where it's telling me to go, but remain aware of it at the same time? Too passive and you fall to auto-pilot (or zombie mode) and you don't see/perceive anything. Too focused on what you want that you cover up the nudges.

I get what you mean, definitely. I have this issue when currently trying to do this; been playing with it a bit today, now.

It's too easy to sort of miss the mark, as you said, to be too passive or too aware.

Synconiciy is an interesting thing. Alot of our urges or nudges could probably be ascribed to it. Its actually realzing it when it arrives and what it is pointing towards that is the issue. I am aware of the issue due in part to a psycic tv show about a woman who I believe lives in New York and is a psychic. Quite an interesting show.
