Cosmic Connections

Before I did shrooms, I didn't really believe in anything. Since then, however, I have become much more spiritual and open minded. I've been reading a lot, including Eckhart Tolle and some others. It seems to be the only thing that has ever really made sense in my mind.
Which brings me to my story. My friend told me how a while back he was having car trouble, and when he opened up a fortune cookie after dinner it said, "The trouble you have today will be gone tomorrow." He then just forgot about his car until the next morning. It started perfectly.
I was eating chinese food last night, and right before I opened my cookie I recalled that story. Then I actually thought, "I wonder if he gave me his power. There are definitely two fortunes in this cookie." It was more of a thought that I experienced, or observed, not something I actively thought about.
Well turns out there WAS two fortunes in it. Really weird. I IM my friend to tell him what happened, and he came back from away status pretty much immediately. I told him my story and he said that was the weirdest thing. He was meditating at the time and felt like someone had taken his energy, and that something important had happened to someone he knew. That was the only reason he even checked his computer. These things happened almost simultaneously.
I think it is some sort of cosmic connection. This is the friend that introduced me to psychedelics and someone I have a lot in common with, at least with life views and spiritual concepts.
What do you guys think about this? Do you believe in cosmic connections like this? Discuss.

Hmmm I don't think I understand your story...

So your friend had problems with his car... and then he opened a fortune cookie which told him, with other words... one more day, and your problem is gone. However, he stops worrying about his problem right away, and the next day (the day that he was supposed to have passed the problem), he remembers that, the day before, he totally forgot about his problem. How was the fortune cookie right?

Yay! Yes, this is dandiness of Being dancing its dance of synchronous ever unflailing light... psychic connections are very real things. If we endeavor and discipline ourselves then we can be call super dimensional with our perception and just be all....yo...I am hyperdimensional...yo...like you and your buddy, communicating on some alternate plane, some realm of the collective consciousness, and then boom shaka G you have a apparent miracle. A friend of mine had a dream where these words were spoken to him and written out infront of him, and then he was given the definition. He had never heard these words before, or their meaning. in the morning, he gets his good ol buddy mister dictionary and looks up these dream words...of course, the definitions were correct and the words were real...Woo hoo, connections wooo Ya

I still wonder how people tend to believe that psychic connections exist, even though there are much more logical explanation for all these. I am not saying that psychic connections don't exist at all, since I really have no idea, but I think that it's important to consider all the possibilities, gradually, beginning from the more likely. Also, what I was arguing about was the fact that what the OP related didn't make any sense because from the way he relates his story the fortune cookie was kind of wrong. As for your friend, and the definition and the dream and all the rest, there are much more down to earth explanations. Did you ever hear about the existence of the subconscious? Well, that could easily explain many things. All the information that we're unaware of possessing, all the data that we never take to account, words, events, thoughts and so on, are being stored there. So it is highly possible that your friend was in a situation where he overheard a conversation between other people which was similar if not identical to the one he dreamed about. Or heard it on the TV or radio, the possibilities are countless. That could easily explain why there are past life regression reports in which people start to speak fluently a foreign language that they never spoke before. Just don't leave out all these possibilities which make much more sense that psychic connection, and which can be proved in a certain measure.

Allow me to clarify. My friend took the cookie's word for it and knew that is car would work in the morning. When he started it, it did.
I relate this story to my own because it was HIS fortune cookie story I was thinking about the minute I opened mine, and thought "I have his power to make two fortunes be in this cookie." That in it of itself could have just been coincidence, but it was the fact that he had a feeling something happened to someone he knows at the exact same time when I was calling on his energy is pretty weird.

 You are supposed to only have one fortune cookie in a 24 hour period, otherwise they void each other out.... It is like crossing two sets of your fingers for double luck....

Cosmic connections?
Everything is within the cosmos. Everything is about cosmic connections.
It's no longer "some sort of" cosmic connection. It's THE cosmic connection. Your mind.

Infinite is..... wooo. My older sister was on a vacation with her son. They had left their dog with her mother. SOme nights later on the journey, my sister has a horrific nightmare about her dog. They loved this dog. The dream gave her the willies!!! AHH. She awoke in the mid o night and AH! Poor dog sad dream no! SO then, in the morning, my sister calls her mother to inquire of dear dog...and ofcourse....dog hit by car....AH Psychic connections are possible because of the collective consciousness. Were all attached to this collective, therefore our senses can seep on into the bulk of it and perceive the perspective of other people yo fo sho!  If infinite is, then it all is, so it is. woo
