Still uncertain what to call this, but snowball effect is pretty descriptive.

Basically, what this effect describes is that after encountering one unlikely event, the chances of encountering other unlikely events increases.

A few examples include this guy who was documented to have won the lottery 14 times.

Also how is it possible that those of us who experience synchronicity continues to experience unlikely coincidences when most people do not even encounter one.

So this is the math (I promise it’s simple), inspired by Neil deGrasse Tyson’s anecdote:

If you ask 1,000 people to flip a coin, if the coin is fair, then about 500 will flip tails, and you ask these people to sit out the next round, and about 500 people will flip heads, and you ask these people to go to the next round continue flipping the coin, you do this for 10 rounds, and in the end, at least 1 person will have flipped heads 10 times in a row, an event that carries a 0.001 probability, but an absolute certainty that this will happen to at least 1 person!

Now, if you will consider this anecdote at its 5th round, that is, everyone left has already flipped 5 heads, about 30 people are left in the game, and out of these 30 people, the likelihood of anyone of them will continue flipping heads 5 more times is 1 in 30, a 0.03 probability event, or 3%, you can get this value in several ways, one way is that you already know at least 1 person out of the original 1,000 will flip heads 10 times, and another way is 0.5^5 = roughly 3%

Now, remember when we started with 1,000 people, the probability of any one of them flipping 10 heads in a row is 1 in 1,000 or 0.001 = 0.1%

In other words, after the unlikely event of having flipped 5 heads in a row, the likelihood of any one of them to flip 10 heads in a row is 30 times more likely than those who has not flipped heads even one time yet!

This happened on July 4th, 2022. I will always remember this day because I was out cruising with my best friend and both of us had been experiencing a lot of syncs that day. So in my mind, I asked God, what kind of story are we in? Is this a comedy, a tragedy? What is this story that you've created? Then, I hear a flicker of static on the radio that immediately gathers my attention, followed by Taylor Swift's song "Love Story".

this year i moved out of my parents house to a new city. somewhat random and didn’t have more than 2 connections there. since i made the decision to move, i met three people from that city randomly, 2 being in my field. then 2 people from that city moved into the house at the end of my tiny driveway , also in my field. all within a month. the city is across the US from me, and is 300,000 people. so not super common. i moved there and started seeing bird eggs and small feathers everywhere, then spider webs kept sticking to me and hanging off me, then so many ladybugs, finding them on me and in my apartment..

So I got a call yesterday from my mom about an ill family member.

The ill member received help from another family member of mine during one of their tough moments

After and during the call I was thinking about how much more serious I need to take health and the knowledge of it for myself and my family. It’s something I’ve been studying in my free time for years now.

I'm a good researcher but getting people to change their habits is a hard task...on top of trying to educate them to understand the how's and why's.

I think I understand habits more than the average person. I’ve read books on it and I like/study psychology so I empathize & resonate with people on a certain level that I feel alot of people don’t

I know how hard it is to change a habit cause even with all the info I know, the passion I have, and inspiration, I still struggle…

But anyways, later on that night I was watching a show that said that ill family members name in it. Hmmm I thought

Even later that night I decided to visit Reddit and see what people have posted about manifesting

Eventually I came across someone who shared a link and to simplify things, a vision board was mentioned in the link. I've always known about vision boards but never took initiative to actually make one cause

This time I decided to finally take action and start one. I put a car that I wanted to get (I actually need one) and a pic of a guy that I felt inspired by and actually want to meet, related to health (yahkiawakened).

I got intentional on which of pic I chose him based on the ones available (from google)

Fast forward, the very next day (which is today) I log onto my IG (about 20 mins ago) and a post from him pops up with him in the clothes (scrubs) that I put on my board. Nothing too surprising to me cause he has his own clinic so it’s not like a rare occasion lol…but here's what had me like 🤔🤔🤔

I decided to look back to see when's the last time he posted himself in the scrubs to see how much or how little of a coincidence should I feel about coming across him in the scrubs just then

I go back a few photos and the most recent pic with him in the scrubs was with the EXACT picture that I put on my board and he posted it on the BIRTHDAY of the family member of mine that I mentioned, that helped the ill member of my family...

Things like this happen to me ALOT. It's like the more I started noticing them the more complex and drawn out they started to become.

& Idk if it's just me but it seems like the situations that I have always are between "coincidence" and "ain't no way that's just a coincidence" if that makes sense.

Sometimes idk if I should just chalk them up as “coincidences” or take them as something much more. I tend to do both

As I was doing the dishes today I was thinking back on a conversation I had with a friend that’s convinced the world we live in is actually hell. As in we’ve all died and this is where we ended up, unknowingly living out our eternal punishment. Anyway, I got on this thought tangent about the meaning of happiness and if worrying so much about achieving happiness ends up making you unhappy. Just as I was completing my train of thought the tv I had in the background and was ignoring chimes in with “happiness starts with you”. I still don’t know what commercial it was but it was so abrupt and unexpected it actually startled me.

So I have this ex best friend (We fell out over a year ago) and since then I've been really hoping that we reconnect somehow.

Anyway before we fell out we found out our angel numbers (from date of births). And now recently, I've been seeing them everywhere. Say, for example, a song on tiktok reminds me of us, and then I see the time is 6:24 (the 2,4= our angel numbers). I've been seeing them for a while now I guess, but recently it's becoming more frequent.

Omg even right now as I'm typing this I see the angel numbers in the title word count !?! And I've just noticed that that's how many pages I have opened in Google chrome!?!?! (2,4)

I was about to ask if you thought that they were synchronicities, and what exactly that meant manifesting wise, but I'm getting really freaked out here!

Had this oddly cool moment happen on Saturday. Was driving into the mall, looking for an open parking spot. "Radio Number 1" by Air started playing on Spotify, and as we found a spot to park, the time turned 11:11, and then we noticed that we happened by total coincidence to park in spot number 11. Quickly managed to get this photo before the minute on the clock changed. Also 23 is 11 in 24hr clock time. So its all whole lot of 11's and / or 1's?

Wasn't sure where to post this but I wanted to share the pic, and a sub dedicated to synchronicity seemed like a good place.

why is this happening haha. i’ve literally heard it like 10 times now and i haven’t even been awake for about 4 hours. what’s going on lol.

My wife and I went out to eat at BBQ restaurant and they had a Kool-Aid drink machine there, which was the first time we’d ever seen such a thing (like a soda machine, but with only various Kool-Aid flavors). So we ate BBQ, drank Kool-Aid, paid, and left… and as we soon as we went out the door, my wife threw up right in front of the restaurant (she was pregnant at the time). 

A few seconds later I got a call from a friend, who said she wanted to warn me about this guy we both worked with that we thought was an awesome humanitarian, but is actually a douchebag… and at that point my friend (who had no idea what had just happened) said--referring to that guy--“I already drank the Kool Aid… and threw it up”.

That was the only time I’ve ever heard anyone use such a “variation” of that idiom, and also the only time I’ve ever seen someone throw up Kool Aid. And both happened to coincide at almost exactly the same time.

(Previous ones I've shared here, here, here, here, here, and here).

My car battery gave out in the cold last night, after I jumped started my car this morning, the radio started playing and it was playing this song:

Turn Me On

by Norah Jones

I come on Reddit to post this, and the first on my feed is a photo of Norah Jones in r/OldSchoolCool.

I have noticed days where I think my soul must be putting out some sort of frequency that attracts both good and bad. I've deemed these events, "Wildcard Vortex."

1. One day I had this feeling in the pit of stomach that things were no longer going well with my crush. That same day I was hanging out with friends pretty far from home and saw a former friend also far from his home from a distance. I took that as an omen to check my socials and sure enough, I'd been unfriended by my crush. The same day I felt a loss, I also had the intrusion of an unwanted presence.

2. Another day something happened on the same day that I finally heard back from a really good friend. We both knew the other was going through a tough time in life independent of our friendship. The day I heard from back from them, within a couple hours another former friend reached out to me. The same day I felt a reconnection, I also had the intrusion of an unwanted interaction.

I ran into an old guy in the Walmart and ended up having a deep conversation about spirituality with them. I’m spiritual, but not religious but one thing that did stand out he told me to read this part of Deuteronomy. Does anybody know what it means?

What does it mean when the universe directs your attention towards a certain name in different ways (not searching for it!). I’m trying to understand the meaning of this and why. It’s been happening to me for a little under a year now. I hear people say his name passing by, out loud on an intercom, road signs, seeing our names together on a social media handle, on tv, a woman singing a song to me that he played recently. So many things! I believe that only I truly have the insight to what this means, but I’m hoping for some advice as to what this means to another spiritual person. Thank you!

I keep seeing Angel numbers a lot anyway so I don’t think much about 111s as such but I’ve been seeing way too many 4s recently which wasn’t the case earlier. My birth is also 14 and something that I’ve came across a couple of times was 1441. Any thoughts on what it could mean?

I constantly see these numbers everywhere I go. I look at the clock and it’s 10:13 I do it again at night and it’s 10:13 almost every single day. I was born on October 13th. (10/13) does anybody else have the experience to see their birth month and date in different forms?

I remember the one time I was on the way to pay my car insurance, I’m listening to my Apple Music but I had it on shuffle so songs were randomly playing , I came up to a stop light , song Funeral comes on By Shy Glizzy , I look up and it’s a funeral car line driving pass .. it was super trippy .. like me being in that exact spot at that time with the funeral line going by ontop of the song playing 🥲I was so astonished

These two kitchen appliances have never had the right time on them, (at least I don’t think they ever did) and yesterday around 10:08 PM I noticed the 1:23 for the microwave and on the coffee maker 3:21. & so today i got a picture of it.

Am I tripping over this? Like the odds of those syncing up like that are kind of crazy right?

I asked:

what would seeing repeated synchronicity (events that seem impossible to happen by chance) on a consistent basis on a long period of time that is proven not to be mere coincidence imply about the nature of reality?

ChatGPT said:

Seeing repeated synchronicity—events that seem impossibly timed or interwoven in ways that defy chance—over a long period of time could suggest several potential implications about the nature of reality. Here are a few ideas:

1. Interconnectedness of All Things

One possibility is that reality is more interconnected than we typically perceive. The consistent appearance of synchronicities might suggest that all events, objects, and people are deeply connected in ways we cannot yet fully comprehend. This idea aligns with concepts from quantum physics, like non-locality or entanglement, where particles seem to be connected over distances in ways that transcend time and space.

2. The Nature of Time and Causality

If synchronicities are not mere coincidences, it could imply that time and causality are more fluid or non-linear than we experience. In this view, past, present, and future could be interwoven in ways we don't currently understand. Events might not be strictly bound by a cause-effect chain, and what seems "impossible" could actually be part of a larger web of interconnected moments. The apparent alignment of events could hint at a deeper structure or pattern beneath the surface of everyday life.

3. Consciousness as a Driving Force

Synchronicity could point to the idea that consciousness plays a more central role in shaping reality than we usually acknowledge. Carl Jung, who popularized the concept of synchronicity, suggested that the external world and inner psychological states are more intertwined than we realize. These repeated, meaningful coincidences might suggest that consciousness itself is a fundamental force in the universe, capable of influencing the material world in ways we don't yet understand.

4. Reality as a Projection or Simulation

Another possibility is that reality could be a form of a simulation, or at least subject to some kind of "higher" organizing principle that occasionally breaks through the veneer of normal experience. If seemingly impossible events continue to occur consistently, it might point to the possibility that the "rules" of the universe are not fixed and that we live in an environment where the boundaries between the subjective and objective world are less rigid than we think.

5. Meaning Beyond the Random

Repeated synchronicity might suggest that meaning is embedded in the fabric of reality in ways that we cannot fully comprehend. This could be viewed through a spiritual or philosophical lens: the universe might be speaking to us through these "coincidences," nudging us toward certain paths, realizations, or insights. The apparent order that emerges from chaos could suggest that there is a deeper intentionality or purpose to existence.

6. Role of Observer in Reality Creation

Quantum mechanics and other advanced theories suggest that observation can collapse the wave function, leading to a specific outcome. If synchronicities are happening in your experience, it might imply that your awareness or consciousness is interacting with the universe in a dynamic, participatory way. This could align with theories like the "observer effect" or other interpretations that propose the observer influences the observed reality, reinforcing the idea that we are not passive participants in the universe but co-creators of our reality.

7. Probability and Chaos Theory

On a more scientific level, synchronicities might suggest that patterns of seemingly random events emerge from complex systems, like those governed by chaos theory. Small fluctuations in a complex system can lead to outcomes that seem improbable, but upon deeper analysis, they may actually be predictable within certain parameters. The repeated appearance of these patterns could be an artifact of such complex dynamics unfolding in ways that our minds interpret as "meaningful."

8. Spiritual or Mystical Interpretation

In many spiritual traditions, synchronicity is seen as a sign of alignment with a higher, transcendent reality. These events might be interpreted as signs from the universe, divine beings, or an aspect of consciousness that transcends the individual. The repeated occurrence of synchronicity could be seen as a message that you are on the right path, or that the universe is "waking up" to your consciousness, offering signs of guidance or divine purpose.

9. The Illusion of Separation

Synchronicity challenges the common experience of separation between self and the world around us. If meaningful events are repeatedly aligning in such a way that defy the randomness we expect, it could indicate that the perceived boundaries between the individual and the universe are an illusion. This could imply a more holistic view of reality where distinctions between self and the other are less absolute, and all of existence is part of one interconnected whole.

10. A New Paradigm of Meaning-Making

The experience of repeated synchronicity might suggest that the way we make meaning in our lives is evolving or expanding. It could point to a shift in how we understand and relate to the world: instead of seeing it as a random, mechanistic universe, we begin to view it as a place where meaning emerges through patterns and signs. In this sense, synchronicity might be an invitation to perceive reality in a new way, one that allows for more fluidity, mystery, and wonder.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, the experience of repeated synchronicity over a long period of time might indicate that reality is not purely random or deterministic. It could point to the idea that the universe is fundamentally interconnected, that consciousness plays a central role in shaping reality, or that there is a deeper, hidden order to the universe that transcends our usual understanding. Whether through a spiritual, scientific, or philosophical lens, synchronicity invites us to reconsider our assumptions about the nature of time, causality, and the fabric of existence itself.

I will share an example. I was thinking about how a specific person has done irreparable damage to our relationship by their actions. I was watching ‘Constellation’ on Apple. And just as I was thinking my thought, a character in the show said “irreparable damage.” I froze and tried to process it.

Sometimes this happens while I’m reading a book. I have written down some of these instances. It happens frequently. What is this? Does anyone else experience it?

So, first information is that my name is Rose. It is not a common name where I live. I was sitting in the train today listening to a random Spotify Playlist that Spotify had suggested me. Suddenly, the song Desert Rose by Sting plays, and in the exact same moment he sings Desert Rose, the train drives past a graffiti on a wall by the tracks, with the word Rose.

I don't know if this is qualified as a synchronicity or not, but it made me smile and made me feel like the universe was telling me that it got my back ☺️
