I have been very candid with my children about my psychic abilities and experiences of telepathy, synchronicity and the power of thought.  Learning to trust my sixth sense has been invaluable and something I’ve hoped I would impress upon them. At the least, my stories have offered a trustworthy credible source to verify extra sensory perception. And we have actually experienced phenomenal moments of synchronicity in each other’s presence, which leads me to sharing the following stories.

One day while we were driving, my son who was seventeen at the time, said “The one unique thing about you mom, is your intuition particularly the ability to manifest things you think about. I wish I could do that. I know things like this happen for you, but I doubt they can happen for me.” I paused. “Son, I said, everyone has the potential to develop these abilities. When you were a little boy you had a psychic experience. You were three, and out of the blue you asked me what happened to one of your stepbrother’s friends. We hadn’t seen or mentioned him in over a year, because he moved to Southern California. I was really surprised you remembered him. I think he only visited our house once.

Shortly afterwards the doorbell rang. Guess who it was? Thad, the very guy you asked about! He was driving from L.A. to San Francisco and decided to stop on a whim, to say hello to your stepbrother. What an enigma! I think you picked up on his vibe, somehow.  It was a clear example of synchronicity and truly astonishing coming from an unassuming toddler.”

More remarkable is what happened over the next few days. The conversation switched to talking about kids my son played with as a youngster and whether he’d run into any of them at the High School he was attending. “Do you ever see Seth?” We spent a lot of time at his house. Your sister and his sister were also close friends.” “Yeah, I actually did. It took me awhile to figure out who he was. He’s a year older than me and he actually graduated last year. I recognized him right before school ended. He’s changed a lot. He’s gone kind of emo. I don’t think you’d recognize him.”

I stopped at an intersection waiting for the light to change. Another car pulled up on our right. “Mom, you are not going to believe this” my son exclaimed! “That’s him, that’s Seth in the back seat of the car next to us. I mean it, Mom. I can’t believe it! We were just talking about him and there he is. That is amazing” he said. I was also stunned. Firsthand experience is the best teacher and this was a perfect example of synchronicity and the power of thought.

We continued to reminisce about another childhood friend. “I wonder, I said what ever happened to the sweet little girl you were best friends with in first and second grade. The two of you were inseparable. She used to sit with her head on your shoulder in the reading corner. It was precious.” “You mean Leila? I haven’t seen her in years.  We both went to different schools after the fourth grade,” my son replied.

The following day I went to watch my daughter’s tennis match. I pulled up a chair near the baseline fence as she collected balls to serve. “Guess who I am playing” she whispered? “I haven’t a clue.” “The girl we were just talking about, Leila. The girl brother knew in first grade. She asked me if I was his sister because she recognized our last name in the line up. Call him right now and tell him to come to my match!”

They say, “three times is a charm” and here is the third event. What’s wonderful about this one is that my son had this experience independent of me. That weekend we went shopping to buy him some shoes. He went into the store and I browsed in another.  At lunch he told me that when he got up in the morning, for some reason he started thinking about Alexa, the young woman he dated the previous summer, wondering where she was going to college. “Did you recognize the sales girl at the store we just left” he asked? It was the Alexa!”

Psychologist, Carl Jung described the term synchronicity as meaningful coincidences, when a thought or feeling coincides with an event, like in the case of my son. Jung believed these experiences act as catalysts, sparking interest in discovering more about the inner self and how the subconscious mind works. The notion that synchronicity happens by chance and is random was something he disputed.

I often wonder what it takes to initiate sixth sense interactions. Did my son’s expressed interest and our conversations in the car start the ball rolling?  Once you have an out of ordinary experience, is the pathway sufficiently cleared for more? Within days his curiosity and self-doubt switched to surprise and awe. Three consecutive experiences of synchronicity and manifesting thought; three meaningful coincidences are hard to discount!

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous. Actually, most of us go through life a little afraid, a little nervous, a little excited. It is then when you begin to encounter more and more coincidences in your life. ~Albert Einstein~
