So you think it’s your internal reality being reflected to you?
After going trough hundreds of hours of Terrence McKenna Lecture, im more convinced than ever than the World is Mind and that our toughts shape our reality. Not to ''the Secret'' level where you just think something and it happens, its not like im in GodMode designing my video game, but i've had enough occasions of just thinking about someone i havent seen in years and randomly meeting them the same day/week or thinking about a particular subject and something about it showed up in my life in one way or the other to conclude its just pure coincidences. When it happens once or twice a month maybe but when you journal and can spot 50 of em in a week, shit starts to add up. I also realized that the more you become conscious of that, the more creative power over your reality you develop. Without getting into wuwu manifestation, affirmations and such, i just think its crazy how simple intentions and line of toughts can have direct impact on your day to day life. Hell even most religions from Old Egypt to Christianism uses stories like ''First there was the Word and the word was made flesh''.
''The Word'' is pure toughts. Thinking or speaking it materialize it in one way or the other in your reality, just not in the ''i think of a chocolate muffin therefore a chocolate muffin will appear in my hand''
As within so Without, gain agency over your toughts and inner landscape and reality starts to shape to your will a lot more easier than it looks like, but of course ; We're billions in this ''Game'', so the results are never predictable
I agree. This topic has been hijacked by a very immature and surface-level understanding by many alternative-spiritual movements. Just look at Tantra. It's become this weird sex-fetish movement when really the physical sexual aspect was minor, although important, to the ancient tradition. I understand what you mean, I've had like 5 coincidences happen to me at once in a single moment. That kinda stuff really breaks your brain. It's incomprehensible. It's a good thing that you noticed the pattern in ancient text though. I've never looked at some of the ancient literature like that before.
I’m more concerned when I don’t have synchronicities throughout the day. 11:11 🙏.
You might be flying a little too close to the sun spiritually, ground yourself into reality and take a break from from the substances
The simplest explanation I have for this is simply what we focus on is where the attention goes. And so we experience more of the things we think about. I've had plenty experiences like you describe, and while eerie, it's more probable because of this. It could also be our devices tracking things of course
I think this is actually just google tracking data from your phone to input in the algorithm. I talk about bands with friends, or needing to buy something... and wouldn't you believe it, I see recommendations for the band and ads for the product I was interested in.
No because I’ve never been to a China buffet or looked it up. The nearest one is 30 minutes away. I wasn’t even speaking about it. I was just thinking about it.
In the case of reddit recommending memes I really don't see why they would use the resources to:
- Convert image memes into a format a computer could use
- Find OP's location
- Then push a generic meme about eating too much at a Chinese Buffet
There is no financial incentive for reddit to do this (similarly for youtube) for a generic chiese buffet, there are easily hundreds of other brands who would pay to be in that place.
Though I also think OP may not be experiencing a synchronicity unless he can begin to put these coincidences into words.
I’ve found in my own experience that these kinds of intensifying self referential coincidences usually are leading toward some of consciousness milestone event. As if it ripples forwards and backwards in time. Don’t be afraid of it, just pay attention.
I know that feeling. I recently had a 2 day period of very intense synchronicity. Not the phone, algorithm, tracked ad kind either. I began to wonder whether or not I had died and was in the Tibetan Bardo realm. I felt a very strong sense of pronoia, which was nice.
My suggestion is stay calm. Spend time with people close to you. Don't bring up any of that crazy shit to them. Lay off the drugs and meditation for a while. Do things that ground you. Focus on the sensations in your body while exercising and eating.
However make sure you pay attention to what these things are telling you. God/Universe/Spirit has its own way of speaking to us.
"...first meme I see is of a morbidly obese cat with the caption "Me being escorted out of the china buffet after "getting my money's worth"
Maybe god is telling you to lose weight, lol.
If its coming from a screen(your phone)it doesn’t count.
They do count! lol, what makes you think they don’t? I think we underrate the “reality” of technology. There’s a reason governments and corporations invest in controlling the collective mind on social media because it’s just as effective as real life alternatives. Maybe even more effective. You can think of your device as a watered down version of reality, mostly the spiritual(digital). But trust me they’re just as valid. And that’s why social media events literally cause and affect real life events
it's not by chance that our phones are really good at showing us stuff that seems super relevant to us. Every time we scroll, click, or do anything, it's all recorded and used by smart systems to figure out what we like and even what we're worried about etc….
I think screen Syncroncities do count. I've had a moments where I was thinking about the meaning of the Sun and the youtube video is talking about Ra, which made me think about Ra's relation to the sun
You may be on to something
synchronistic events without a device or substance involved = the litmus test ✅
Any time you experience synchronicity, the universe is trying to get your attention. Something is going on. Are you thinking about making a life change, such as school, new job, move, dating. Or has something already happened? A loss or unexpected change. Open yourself to the message. It seems very persistent!
Listen to them, follow them. A lot of people are being guided to wake up by the universe, a lot of people believe a pretty big shift in reality is going to happen April 8. Add in the fact that a lot of people are “awakening” doesn’t sound coincidental to me my friend. Follow the white rabbit, see where it takes you
This isn't synchronicity this is algos tracking your location and showing you things accordingly
Is the Chinese buffet meaningful in some way? If it's not particularly meaningful you probably just experienced priming.

Look at this picture.
Maybe you don't realize it, but you tend to get chinese from a buffet when some other thing happens? Like you tend to do it when the weather and your hormones are a certain way or something? My ad algos always seem to recommend my junk food vices around a certain time in my menstrual cycle even when it changes slightly.
Even if these are synchronicities, though... is this a bad sign or just a sign? When this happens to me, I try to remember to ask myself that. Is this a sign that's meant to be mean or malicious or just someone trying to communicate?
When I first delved into manifestation, or the Science of the Mind, as some mystics call it, I too began to see how our minds influence reality to a certain degree.
Basically what's here is an illusion. We do have "storylines" or fates that we're supposed to carry out, but otherwise, nothing is set in stone.
I lost my mind for a bit because of trauma related to spirituality, and even as I was spiraling I could see my mind influencing the field I was in.
Confirmation bias perhaps?
The risk with synchronicities is it's too much meaning to handle. So you counterbalance with boring, day to day facts about your life. This helps ground you in reality.
When surrounded by too much meaning, remind yourself of the banale facts of your life: your name is so and so, you live on so and so street, you have so and so as friends, you have so and so as partner, you work at some place or you study at some school, you have a pimple on some body part, you sleep on some side of the bed, you listen to some sort of music, etc.
This is something Jung himself did while doing inner work, to remind himself that "he really existed".
“Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen” by psychologist Bernard Beitman is an excellent introduction and overview of synchronicity, including how to identify legitimate cases, dispelling fear about the phenomenon, the types of syncs people have, even how to cultivate them more often. Beitman is an expert on the subject, and has done extensive research.
After a 3 weeks on shrooms experiment i experienced completely crazy amount of synchronicities for a while. First it scared the shit out of me, i started becoming extremely paranoid but after studying the subject, i now understand that every tought and word we say creates a ripple trough reality so yeah i completely understand what you mean, just dont get trap in the '' im being spied on'' rabbit hole, thats how you end up in the looney bins and how these kind of subjects gets discredited by the masses as simple toughts of crazy persons.
