~Theory of Synchronicity (Is it in your life??) ~David/Fearfactor

Theory of Synchronicity is Carl Jung's theory that coincidences are meaningful and connected.....

I see these "meaningful coincidences" ALL-THE-TIME, and I bet YOU can as well now that you'r conscious of the meaning of the coincidences in your life...

Cases in point:

I choose the USM handle "fearfactor" unaware that a hit show on NBC would come-out later that year in 2001.

At the time I had been researching/reading about Near Death Experiences for a couples months when I take my step-mom to the doctor. Low and behold I'm sitting there, and this guy start's telling me about his NDE. Most people who had NDE's don't tell anyone they've had an NDE....yet this gentleman felt compelled!

I'm listening to Coast to Coast AM and there's a parapsychologist on, and I look at the mirror wondering if ghosts can use as portals or gateways into our world. Sure enough, right at that instant a caller calls in asks the same question.

I'm at the barber shop and I jokingly asked for crop circles in my hair, and a man is reading the same magazine I was reading earlier (which is where I got the joke about crop circles from), and he chose the same magazine and had opened it to the same article at the time of my quip.

This person online running smack at me saying I draw pentagrams daily, and I'm out driving and I see a bumpersticker with a pentagram on it (had never seen one of those stickers before or since).

I'm at Sams Club with my dad, and looked at furniture, and there was no one else looking at the furniture. We leave, and my dad looks over, and were driving down the road and he points out that they had the same furniture we just looked at of all items they could of bought in the store.

I'm a sports fan and I was telling my friends that Johnny Manziel will be a bust in the NFL, and was hyped just like was coming out of college. The next day I'm watching a rose bowl, and of course they showed an obscure clip from 1988 of Rodney Peete, which is also the last time the Spartans had won a Rose Bowl.

Some insane coincidences that have actually happened in my life regarding family...

My dad's friends were down here visiting from Bloomington, Illinois which is a college town about the same size of the town of Bradenton where I reside. Get this - the current neighbors of my parents went to the same school in a much-much smaller city in Illinois and knew each other well! Of all places for the neighbors to live and be from a very small town, and vice versa with my dad's friends switching cities, vacationing in the same spot... But wait there's more. This girl who used to live across the street from me when I was little ended up marrying my stepbrother....of all people and ages, and it's not like Bradenton is a small town by any means!!!!...but wait, there's even more! One time while I was working, something inside of me compelled to ask the guy where this customer lived. Get this, he tells me he's from a town in Illinois called Williamsville. Now, population has grown a little over the years, but this is a tiny tiny tiny town outside Springfield. If I recall correctly, visiting there as a child. it didn't even have a stop light. So I asked if he knew my uncle? He said, oh yeah, I was his predecessor as principal at the local high school. So not only is this guy vacationing where I live from a tiny township, but held the same freaking job IN freaking succession of my uncle.

Someone want to still ascertain to me that this theory can't be true??

I can go on.....but I'd love to hear your stories instead :)
