Are these coincidences?


Question Posted Sunday September 17 2017, 8:26 pm

I don't know but it's like whenever I feel like something is going to happen it happens. The whole summer I had this gut feeling anytime somebody that we don't know would ring the doorbell that they were probably a robber. Just last month (last month of summer) a strange man came to my house and tried to break in. I had that strong feeling he was a robber and of course I was right. So anyways my grandfather had a heart attack on Wednesday and I had the strongest feeling he was going to die. Of course he sadly died today, my dad is devastated cause that's his dad and I don't want to tell him I knew he was going to die cause my parents actually believe in whatever you say will come true. Do you think these are coincidences?

Once or twice can be coincidences. But if you get these feelings, hunches, visions ahead of an event and they all always come true, then that is no longer coincidence. There is something that a good amount of people don't believe in and will continue to call coincidence simply because it is so different from what they know. In my own family, many of us have these 'coincidences' (if you want to call it that), come up all the time. I have a sister who had nightly dreams for a year about Katrina hurricane hitting Louisianna. Once it hit, the dreams stopped. I have a sense of knowing. Thoughts will come to mind such as the time I was driving home from work and a thought popped into my head when I wasn't even having wandering thoughts and was singing along to a song on the radio. The thought was that I was supposed to tell my husband when I got home not to quit night school. This was before I trusted such things and thought perhaps I was crazy. The thought got stronger as I got home. I was too afraid to just blurt it out, but it was something I was told to say. In other circumstances, some things are meant only for you to know and not to share. I did finally say it but not until after I first asked him how his studying was going when I got home and he said it was terrible and he was thinking of quitting school. Sometimes when a real drastic or devastating event is about to happen in my life, my family, I will get the 'premonition' ahead of time. Thats what these coincidences are called. It means that you basically get a knowing of something before it happens. If it is something that can really blindside you with worry or grief, I get these ahead of time so I am already thinking about it so it isn't such a terrible surprise when it happens and I am able to keep it together and be strong for others because in the way,, I have kind of done some worry or grieving ahead of time.

I know you are concerned about the idea of what a person focuses on the most, or worries about most is actually brought into reality simply by those thoughts. Well, yes that is also a true concept but it revolves more along things that will happen to you personally, not your whole family or whole class, etc... An example that I have read that is used a lot is if a woman who daily needs to walk across a dark parking lot to get to her car and out of fear has thoughts every day that she might get raped, then there is a good chance that such a thing will come to pass. What actually happens is that everyone has a conscious and a sub-concious (SC) mind. The SC is what keeps you taking your next breath or blinking your eyes, something your conscious mind doesn't have to keep track of. The SC is also tied to our emotions. When we watch a sad movie that we know is not true, we still can end up crying and thats due to our SC mind experiencing it as real. Another thing the SC does is like to make you happy. It figures that what you focus on the most, is what will make you happiest. It is a truth to a point that you will think of nothing but that one thing you want for Christmas cus you will be happy if you get it. Well, your SC doesn't know the difference between thoughts focused on something good you want or something you are afraid of and unfortunately are worrying about happening all the time. So your SC will then influence your conscious mind to take actions that place you in a bad situation, such as the women fearing rape. It may not ever happen in the parking lot but she may against her better judgement start walking at night in risky neighborhoods and when hearing a noise of a hidden person nearby, not run into an open shop, or cross the street but actually turn around and go in that direction looking to see if she really heard someone or not. And thats when she is grabbed. I hope you see that these are two very different things we're talking about and you don't have the latter. You most likely are able to have premonitions. Lots of people who don't believe in such things until they happen to them, will just say, ;Oh, thats just psychic mumbo jumbo and try to discount it. I have read though that more people would be open to having these same abilities, the human mind is capable, if it were taught that humans are capable of this but they are either taught it is just fairy tale stuff or coincidence from an early age and we learn to close off our minds to it. There are only fewer people who without giving it any thought or trying to pursue these abilities, find they have them anyways. It's nothing to fear. You are not abnormal for it. Rather, you are by a fluke or accidently, as a human somehow having an ability that should be as natural to most humans as hearing and taste, sight, touch, smell. It is also called a 6th sense by some, but still not thought of as something special. You may not think of it as special since it has foretold of some terrible things. But you can have good ones too. Here's my biggest one to share. After a divorce from a terrible man, I wanted to find a man I could fall in love with and him with me. I kept wishing it in my mind but doing nothing about it. Then the thought comes to me in detail to make a list of all the qualities I need in a guy and even some I want that aren't as important like him having long hair. I was told that it was for me to learn that God cares about things like this more than i could know and He'd make sure that the right guy eventually met me. Now theres such a thing as the other person having a will of their own and depending on if they make a choice to respond or not, things can end up different. Such is my case. I was on an internet dating site. So was my 2nd husband. When he first read my profile, I sounded too good to be true he related later, and thought I was full of BS, (his own words). He'd seen my profile a year before he finally wrote to me. He'd seen it plenty of times since and kept ignoring it until the thought came to mind that he had to get over himself and just contact me and see if I was for real or not. So he finally did. Some people never act. So that is why there usually isn't a time specific date for any premonitions to come true or thoughts of something coming your way. If he had never contacted me, then I know that God would have worked out for a different man to learn of me and contact me, someone who met all the qualities on my list. If you have anything else like this you want someone to talk to about from time to time, you can write me hon. It's hard to know who believes of those in your life and who doesn't so I don't always share this stuff with just anyone. But you know you can talk with me. I understand as I have as some of my family does, have some of these (unexplainable by science) abilities that are for real.
