Something rather spooky happened this morning. You know that half-state between sleeping and waking when strange things pop into your mind - well this morning, a lady whose blog I follow, drifted into my consciousness - and I thought that it was ages since I had read any blog posts from her. Then later when I started up the computer - there she was - the first blog post for a couple of months. So was that part of my sixth sense - or just coincidence.
This has happened many times before and sometimes I find it a bit scarey. Can I make things happen just by thinking about them? Is it just intuition or maybe ESP - are we so linked in to the universe that our every action has a reaction?
A while ago I kept dreaming of an old friend of mine and I just had the distinct feeling that something had happened to him. We hadn't been in contact for many years and I had no way of knowing where he was. A long time after this I dreamt of him again - managed to contact him via Google and it turns out he had been seriously ill and had literally died, been given a heart transplant and lived to tell the tale. Sixth sense or coincidence?
The question is - is there a cosmic influence in our lives that we aren't aware of - sometimes when I'm driving I feel I have to deliberately not think about having an accident - because if I think of it I will make it happen. These things seem to manifest themselves all the time - I am quite intuitive (they say most women are) and sometimes I do find it spooky.
Have you had any similar experiences? (I hope this post doesn't make me sound too weird).
It doesn't sound weird to me.. I think everything is interconnnected in ways we can only glimpse from time to time. Jx
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot out there we don't understand.
DeleteIt doesn't seem weird to me either. Things like that have happened to me occasionally. I suddenly remember about someone from the past I haven't seen for ages and then over the next day or two out of the blue you hear something about them or I'm just thinking about a friend I ought to contact and the phone rings and it is them ringing to see how I am. It does seem quite uncanny at times:)
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me more than I care to admit - I find it quite spooky.
DeleteInteresting post! I think that as we grow up much of our natural instincts and intuition become stifled or lost and only surface now and again.
ReplyDeleteClearly some people retain this sixth sense which perhaps unsettles others.
A fascinating subject! Flighty xx
I have been more aware of it as I have got older - perhaps it is because I am a sensitive soul.
DeleteWhen something like that happens to me, I feel like I'm 'in touch with the universe'...and embrace the thought, and say 'thank you'. I don't think of it as spooky, but rather serendipitous, but I do understand that a person could look at it as being spooky ;)
