Just wanted to share a quote with you people.

Quote:
“Synchronicity rules chaos with an iron hand, and it is only the merciful defense of some kind of brain filter that keeps us from going mad seeing how it all fits together. When this brain defense wears thin, we see the mind’s boggling connectiveness of every event in time and space and reel from the nausea of unrelenting synchronicity.”

I have a special tool to wear away that brain defense.

i dont get that, someone elaborate it for me a little please?

It means that everything in the universe is connected, although it is difficult for us to perceive it that way. We are hardwired to view everything as separate entities, but this is an illusion.
In certain moments we can overcome this illusion, and the experience is overpowering.

Overpowering, but empowering once you let it wash over you.
I mean, the quote doesn't say that. I say it.

I must be going crazy then...I am starting to get SICK of fucking synchronicities. Really fucking sick of them, and this ain't a joke.
I'm not to the point where I can't laugh anymore though.

The universe is a giant fractal, both in space and time...the thing called "synchronicity" is just more evidence of that.
--------------------
Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

I love the moments where you go woah... then it just goes away... but for that split second you think you might've grasped it, whatever it is.

If I said "woah" for every synchronicity I'd never be able to talk. It is that "bad"
