Coincidences are increasing.

Post by Desecrated »

I started noticing it 2-3 months ago but now it's starting to get even stronger.

I've never had any luck, coincidences simply doesn't happen to me, nothing really goes my way. Except for lately.
I've been working a lot with sigil magic, law of attraction, creative visualization and such and it's starting to manifest itself in small and odd ways. here are some examples:

Example 1: I listen a lot to audiobooks, usually while I'm browsing the internet. And it happen all the time now; that the moment I read a word, the exact same word comes across the audio.

Example 2: I've got the audiobook going, I'm surfing the web and then I get the idea that I should go look at ebay for new books. Some guy has uploaded 5 books about dream interpretation. The audiobook changes chapter. The new chapter is all about dreams.

Example 3: I saw that season two of an anime was out and remembered that I never did finish watching season 1. So I started doing that.
The anime is about talismans, spirit animals and banishing rituals.
Exactly the same things that I'm researching now.

Example 4: For some reason I searched for best yoga books, found one and added it to my shopping list. Sent away the order.
Two weeks later we have a discussion on this forum, and that book just happen to come up.



It might sound like hybris, but it sounds like I'm tuned in with the universe somehow.
I understand the principle behind me thinking about something and later it manifests. But now things are starting to manifest before I think about it. Sometimes weeks in advance.

Is this normal?
Is this suppose to happen or am I pushing my luck?

I wouldn't think about it too much. It could be the effects of your magic, it could be some other spiritual influence (your higher self, or just the influence of fate and karma, or some other unknown force), it could be luck, it could even be simple confirmation bias. Just be glad that your life is aligning the way you want it to, and don't start looking for connections everywhere - that way lies delusion.
"The path of the Sage is called
'The Path of Illumination'
he who gives himself to this path
is like a block of wood
that gives itself to the chisel-
cut by cut it is honed to perfection"

- DDJ, Verse 27

I would probably call that Serendipity rather than coincidence. I'm not a big believer in cowinkydink. Sometimes, things fall into place even if we don't know or understand the reasons. When things begin to flow like this in my life, grab the inner tube and go with the current.

I learned a new word (cowinkydink) [gz]

But yes, serendipity sounds like a good way to describe it.
Could it be that I'm simple more open to it now?
