I suppose it's a bit of a stretch to think this bloke thinking of you all that time made you pick up on something in the air from thousands (?) of miles away? Or is it? I wonder how he found you again anyway? I think I'd be a bit alarmed if that happened to me.


Hmm. I don't know, he had seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth so completely that I honestly thought he might be dead! it's a stretch but of course, always possible...

And he found me through a chatty relative on Facebook. So much for keeping a low profile. hmm

I have a theory about these happenings, but it's totally mad. Let's just pretend it's possible that there is some mysterious force out in the ether that makes our thoughts into things. What if it just uses the quickest link between the two to try to manifest it?

For example, I have no other link to any tropical island (and until yesterday wasn't aware of any at all) but because I'd been focusing on such a place as somewhere I'd rather be, the mysterious force runs through its files and finds that the one place there is a link between me and any tropical island is my old beau (who was once very dear to me, after all) and so *bam* there you are. Doesn't matter if it was really workable, just that it was the quickest link. Perhaps you are given the link and what you do with it is up to you after that...

Could be the same with the Red Riding Hood pictures and my experience with the coyotes in the woods. If every day I see this picture of a girl stalked by a wolf, and if I identify somewhat with Red Riding Hood (which I probably do, on some level) the quickest link between me and the picture in a region without wolves is a coyote. As well the windstorms would be the quickest way to create a reality that looks like that of the windblown trees picture on my wall - except reality is not so nice as the picture. Sounds mad, doesn't it, though if there were such a mysterious force out in the ether, for it to create winds or floods might be the easiest part of it. Certainly easier than arranging to give me a heap of money I hadn't earned, or something like that. Laughing

But who knows. I've never heard of any theory like this, and when I tried to search out these kind of things online, just about every site on the subject made my stomach churn. Ugh. But something about it feels right to me.
There's no harm in putting nice pictures on the wall, anyway.

That's a really good theory, you could write a paper on that or something. Dunno how you'd explain it more than something in the air (or the fabric of the universe). It reminds me of an article in one of the old Fortean Studies volumes about a theory called seriality which could explain all sorts of coincidences and events, but I'd have to read it again to get the details right. There might be something online.

Had a quick look: seems there's another thing called seriality about group dynamics connected to gender studies. That's not what I had read about, but I can't find the theory I meant now.

Bunny, not quite your theory but the New Thought author Neville Goddard says in most of his books that the method by which your thoughts manifest physical reality is the weird state between wakefulness/sleep (alpha state) and it is here that you program the mind. If the photos on your wall are the last thing you see/think about at night before sleep, you are taking them into the world of sleep where they speak directly to your subconscious mind (since the conscious mind is asleep). Perhaps your subconscious mind is what brings about these synchronicities in your life?
