Existence is always specific and contextual/relative. I see the meaning/purpose coming from that.

So your saying that because something that has a very low chance of happening, happened to you that there is a meaning to life?
What makes you interpret without doubt that you experienced a synchronization and not just a highly unlikely coincidence?
The analytical mind fails sometimes...
The thing about synchronicities is that they do not matter to anyone but the experiencer of them. They put the experiencer on a higher path if he/she chooses to follow the signs. If you are not self reliant to the extent of being hardly impressionable in the face of others whose beliefs sharply conflict with your experience then sharing your synchronicities to those riddled with doubt and skepticism is horribly self destructive as your experience will be invalidated by those who are "more in touch". Not that you could sway me (much) from my faith but I have no interest in sharing my synchronicities with someone who has a interest in convincing me that I wasn't being shown my way to a purer consciousness and that I merely want to believe this out of my supposed fear of a meaningless life.
But to shed a bit of light...the sheer volume of synchronicities was literally mind blowing. Not to mention the gravity of a few of them.
If you ever experience synchronicities of a similar magnitude than you will know what I mean about noone else needing to know (though soon after I experienced them I shared them with alot of people to gain some personal faith (through their faith) in my experience and feel more comfortable in that reality just because I was having a hard time trusting my experience and not going with the central herds mentality of invalidating my truer faith of what is reality)....besides the fact that most won't believe your experiences and will worry about your sanity lol
How do you decide when you have had a synchronicity and when its merly coincidence?
What sorts of things make you say this?
Where did you first hear about the concept of synchronicity?
Thanks for sharing.

Maybe there are no coincidences.
My synchronicities were so overwhelming that my mind had a very hard time believing I wasn't insane. Then when they kept occuring I had no choice but to either believe them or trust popular oPinion over my experience I couldn't help But believe them out of the sheer frequency of their occurrence so I got paranoid as I thought I knew too much or was experiencing something I shouldn't be experiencing.
I don't remember where/when I first heard of synchronicities. I think on the website www.awakeninthedream.com tho...
No problem. Thanks for respecting my beliefs

I'm fairly certain that Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity and thought it was the product of acausality--ie, not direct, linear, physical causation but something more... ethereal, that was subject to the powers of the (un)conscious mind.
