On the path, in the flow….

Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

We received an e-mail from a young man named Jonny Long that caught our attention. Interestingly, Jonny had never heard the word synchronicity until recently, yet his life was enmeshed in it. So when he discovered our book, things started falling in place. We were also impressed that Jonny expresses himself quite well. We like his energy.

Hi, my name is Jonny. I should start by saying that I was the 888th U.S. visitor to your site. Perhaps you’ve been seeing 8’s today!

I’ve known about synchronicity before reading or hearing anything about it. I intuitively grasped the concept that my whole life was one big conspiracy of coincidences. This summer marked the peak of my awareness. I can’t explain it very well, but everything really began to fall into place for me. Simply put, there were many situations where “this led to that, and then this happened, and that’s how I got here, I met this person, and we decided we would do this activity, and then everything fell into place.”

There are others who know about synchronicity intuitively as well, and wouldn’t you know it? We find each other! We don’t openly talk about it very often, we like to “go with the flow” and let things roll as they should. We also have difficulty explaining the complexity of everything that is going on, because it’s HUGE. I don’t believe in just one coincidence after another. I believe it’s all one big coincidence. EVERYTHING is synchronicity. Everyone is where they should be at every moment in time.

I like the way I think, but sometimes I feel a bit out of my mind. I thought about synchronicity (or “everything,” as I referred to it) all day even before I knew about its place in mainstream metaphysical studies. So, naturally, I encountered synchronicity everywhere. I never had a real conversation about it with anyone because I didn’t want people to think I was crazy. I just go with the flow.

The urban youth is becoming very in touch with the universe, whether we are aware of it or not. I am aware of it. It’s difficult to interact with people in the city and not encounter the cosmic happenings that are going on everywhere. Philadelphia is a very strange city for these phenomena. I believe it could have something to do with its history. It’s an old city (by American standards), and I think that there is a special energy here (even though it’s kind of gritty). Rittenhouse Square is an excellent place to view our synchronized world. If you’re ever in Philadelphia, please visit Rittenhouse Square. I promise that something cosmic will happen.

I used to think to myself, “I’m sure there are people who know more about these coincidences.” I thought that maybe, if I became a decent writer, I could try to find a way to explain all these crazy happenings in a book.

It was synchronicity when I found the book. I went to the bookstore, because I was flying back to Philadelphia from my brother’s house in Texas and he suggested that I get something to read. I went to the New Age section, and I thought to myself, “Okay… Here I am at this moment in time. It’s where I’m supposed to be. I’m going to find THE book, that will explain why I think this way. I am going to find THE book, that will explain why my life has become such a journey, THE book that will explain all this crazy stuff that floods my mind.”

I looked down and I saw the word Synchronicity. I thought “That’s it! That’s the word that describes EVERYTHING! It’s all synchronized! I get it now!” I hoped that it was what I thought it was, and it most certainly is. I wondered why I had never used the word “synchronized” to describe the way the universe works, as I perceive it. But when I saw the word “synchronicity”, I knew that this was what I was looking for.

I should mention that this experience, the synchronicity of finding your book and the actual reading of it, has helped usher in a new spiritual base for me where I feel more stable. I’ve finally dropped the notion that I could be mentally “off” and am beginning to accept the universe for what it is. I used to be sort of afraid of synchronicity, in a weird way that I can’t really explain. It made me feel crazy. It was a love/hate relationship before I knew about it’s relevance to modern metaphysics.

I’m 19, an indigo child, and a spiritual warrior. The universe has designed this life for me. It is important for me to just “go with the flow.” I want to go through life and be good to all people. I want to help people and interact with everyone. I want to bring peace into this world in every way that I can.

I believe that a great cultural and spiritual movement is going to take place and I’m excited to be a part of this generation. Sooner than you think, everyone will be in tune with the goings-on in this strange universe. I’d like to thank you both, Rob and Trish, for being aware of ‘everything.’ You have confirmed my beliefs and hugely accelerated my knowledge on the subject. Perhaps someday, we will cross paths. I wouldn’t be surprised if we did.

I don’t believe that God controls the universe. The universe controls itself. The universe is programmed. But perhaps God programmed the universe. So I like to think of coincidences as Divine Moments of Truth.
