+ you could say [the search for meaning] is more meaningful than [meaning itself]
i.e. [the empty moment when you ask, "what meaning is here?"] is the [moment of awakening] filling that void, usually, is a degenerate process. though in a flash you may discover amazing things.

One time I was working out in my living room with radio on. I had developed a crush on a girl that I had met a few weeks back and at the time it was on my mind.
As I'm thinking about her, a caller calls in to the radio. The people on the station were asking some kind of question and for people that can relate to call in.
Well of course it was her. Same name, location, and college major etc etc.
That's just one small instance, however it still stands out in my mind.

lots of stuff happenning in the background (including about her) then she comes on radio and your emotional state shifts! (time sense phanges - you could say) the recent ghost of her in your background connects with the current thoughts of her with sounds of her - but moments of time have overlapped (due to emotional time distortion or mental state shift).
in this shifted state, what moment preceeds what moment has become indistinguishable - but your life is associated with her is some way, and now more.
this still does not mean anything, but it is a great experience. thanks for sharing.

As much as I respect the good old Swami, surely he must be kidding us with this thread, right? Synchronicity carries meaning per definition. Otherwise it's categorized as random noise.

It carries as much meaning as Jesus in a tortilla. It is an artefact of the brain's wiring (an association engine) and nothing more.
It is not indicative of any cosmic awareness, oversoul, nor collective unconscious.

i think it may have something to do with the collective unconscious, in the sense that i think the main reason this idea pops up so much is because it spread virally from subconscious to subconscious. i forget if wrote this earlier, but i see this type of thinking at jam band shows alot, and i would imagine that someone tripping in that environment would pretty quickly catch on to how to people organizing their perception to get that synchronisity effect. And i think on a larger scale its already passed into popular culture, i don't think people would become invested in that mindset if there weren't alot of other people supporting them in it.

Sounds pretty close to some of my experiences. I feel it has to do with sharing a common story, or reality, then seeing it manifest in the physical world, kind of strangely at that. You catch it in people's EYES, imo. Like... what up??

When its in your head and mine its both, no?? You are in fact outside of me, right?? The syncing of your inner with the external that exists as someone else's inner is like locking into rhythm, or something, imo.

I have covered this in detail in about 100 posts that I will not retype.
Do a web search for 'peridolia' and 'selection bias' as starting points.
