Coincidence

[Shabby]

I just accidentally quoted iScorpio on another thread...but is there such thing as coincidence?

[Humm]

No - there are only simultaneously occurring synchronicities. :D

[psychoslice]

Yes there is coincidence, but most people who believe in spiritual things think otherwise.

Strangely enough, that is about the best answer to one of the most curious questions I have ever read! Well said my friend!

I think it sounds like the same thing, a coincidence.

Metaphysics at work! Huh lol

Coincidence or synchronicity it's all just quantum physics. Everything is interconnected at the least and entangled at most.

That's a good one...I did not think of it that way. So you think everything just is...what ever it is?

Let's say I dial a wrung number by accident and someone picks up and starts telling me about his problems....it's just coincidence...but because I am spiritual I think Hey...this is not a coincidence...God wanted me to connect to this person cause he needed someone to listen to him?

LOL How freeing is that! Thanks Slice : )

Yes that's how i see it, and really all is God, but why do we have to make it sound so mysterious, its just what IS, no hocus pocus lol.

Everything just is..if we see it that way...everything just is even when we see the way we see it.

Aha , yes, quantum physics, matter being but energy vibrating a certain way, and both somehow pulled out of the void to show up temporarily with form .
Interconnected and interchangeable , with some entanglement . Allowed to associate randomly but also (if you ask me) under the influence of conscious
influence , like what we call laws of physics and yes, thought. I can see nothing as being coincidental, or everything, or everything inbetween , depending on how I look at it :icon_eek: . Heh... maybe I will look for a different thread :redface: .

Yeah I'd say so, I mean we all know what coincidence means, and also have had coincidences, so, yeah.

maybe people just take the word coincidence and just call it something else, like sychronicity for example.

I think it's nice that coincidences occur.

Yes its nice to just let them happen without making some big deal about them, the same with what we call miracles.

Yep, maybe a miracle is just being, I mean everything is miraculous really.

[Swami Chihuahuananda]

Yep, really. The everyday is miraculous and the miraculous is every day :cool: . how about 'random, continual , omnipresent synchronicity ' ?
Who cares if it's self-contradictory, it sounds good :D

Coincidence is where something happens that you don't take responsibilty for whereas serendipity is where you do... same thing happens but the awareness around each is different.
