Amazing "Coincidences"

[Lionheart]

 Amazing Coincidences or something else? You be the judge. Stories that make you go "hmm".

They're amazing 'stories', to be sure.
But that's kind of all they are at this point with nobody to verify them.
Someone could have really been messing with the author... but who knows. lol

 I think if you ask anyone, they could bring up a time in their life when some kind of weird "coincidence" occurred. I don't believe in "coincidence" myself. Many times I have been shown that things happen for a reason. Sometimes it may take years to get the meaning behind an event that occurred.
Was it 'coincidence' that brought every one of us here to the Astral Pulse site? No, it was usually due to some kind of profound event that occurred to each of us. Something we needed to understand further!

Sometimes I think coincidences are just coincidences. Other times when it seems like there is more to it, like it's just too strange, there still isn't anything to gain from it. It's just weird, the end.

Once I accidentally put the key to my house in the lock to the back door of my work and it unlocked it. My work key will not work on my home door though. I looked at the 2 keys and they are almost identical, just one tiny spot is different. It's seems crazy that could happen, though I don't know what the odds are. The only thing I get out of it is this story to tell and watch people go "that's weird".

A different odd coincidence: When I was a kid we were on a family trip in Michigan and we missed our exit and went the wrong way for over an hour. So we got back on track and found out a tornado came through where we were headed and destroyed everything. That was a coincidence that saved our lives, but it leaves me asking "why?". Weren't there other people that did go that way? Why didn't they get a coincidence? And why don't these coincidences bail me out of other nasty situations?

I run my life by taking note of Synchronicity. Patterns show themselves and I follow them... if I don't see the threads naturally... I create my own. I got told that it may be a kind of synesthesia... I don't know.

I do know it helps me intuitively predict outcomes... but that's me.

I had the same thing while on 1-95 heading to Florida years ago. We were driving along and missed our exit and started going in the wrong direction for about 1/2 an hour. We soon figured we going the wrong way, turned around and found saw that a Tornado had just went over the highway about a 1/2 hour ahead.
I guess the other people on the highway were supposed to experience the Tornado. It had hit a small town too and caused a considerable amount of damage. Many good things do come out of disasters. Sometimes it takes years to find out what they are though. Sometimes people are "stuck" in a pattern and need a "nudge", although using a Tornado as a nudge is pretty extreme.

A random sprinkling of paper circles (punched hole files) always creates a line of 3 or more circles somewhere in the pattern.
A face recognition camera also finds faces in knotty wood and the above.
Both random yet coincidence happens.
And now for something to think about. Someone eventually will win the big lottery prize.
All from random events.
Coincidence?
Not.
Chance?
Yep.

While coincidences and synchronicities can be kind of cool, the real life-changing events in my life were horrible or perceptively negative things. When they're happening, it feels like life is falling apart and not going right at all, but because of it, certain amazing situations happen later that wouldn't have happened otherwise, or they shape a more realistic/mature/evolved perception in myself.
