I’m intrigued by all kinds of synchronicity. But I think my favorites are precognitive synchros. From our newest book Mind-Blowing Synchronicities. The ebook is available now, the print version will be available July 5.
Precognitions are tricky.
Since many of them occur through dreams, we might not remember them unless we’re proficient in the dream world . With the other types of precognitions, we are provided information about the future – personal or global – and we either act on it or not.
Just as there are numerous documented cases of passengers who were supposed to be on the Titanic and, for one reason or another, didn’t make it, the same is true of people who worked in the World Trade Center and didn’t show up for work on 9-11. Do global disasters emit their own precognitive vibe? Or is it just random luck that kept these people away?
Is there any such thing as random luck? But what’s the source of “luck”? A gut feeling?
One of the oddest incidents concerning the Titanic involved Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, a 34-year-old sportsman and heir to the Vanderbilt shipping and railroad empire. He was returning from a trip to Europe and canceled his passage on the Titanic so late that some early newspaper accounts listed him as being on board. Vanderbilt lived on to become one the most celebrated casualties of the Lusitania sinking three years later. That ocean liner, torpedoed by a German U-Boat on May 7, 1915, killed more than 1,100 people, including 128 Americans, and triggered a series of events that led to the U.S. entering WWI.
It sure looks as if Vanderbilt was destined to die from drowning on a damaged ocean liner. Then again, he had another three years of life after he didn’t die on the Titanic. But is there such a thing as destiny?
Questions to Ask
When you experience what you believe is a precognition, take notice of several things.
Who does it involve?
What is the event?
Where does it occur?
When does it happen?
How specific is it?
Who, what, when, where and how are the five interrogatives we learn about in grade school. These interrogatives also provide terrific guidelines for interpreting and experiencing precognitions.
Once the precognition unfolds, journal about it in detail. Were the specifics correct? Was your interpretation correct? Did the timing unfold the way you thought it would be? Keeping a log of your precognitions not only reinforces the belief that you can tap into the future, it also becomes a record, evidence of the precognitions and what ultimately unfolded.
The other valuable insight a journal provides is that it can illustrate why you may misinterpret a precognition. Here’s an example.
Some years ago, Rob and I attended a Scottish festival in Orlando. There were exhibits from many countries, not just Scotland, and we wandered around looking at everything. At the time, I had a contract with TOR Books for my Hungry Ghosts trilogy, which began with Esperanza and took place in Ecuador. I had an idea for the second book, which would involve time travel, but hadn’t discussed that element yet with my editor, Beth Meacham.
One of the exhibits was from Ecuador – mostly art and colorful clothing. I went through the clothes and found a cool shirt made in Ecuador. When I looked at the inside of the collar for the size, I found a label that read Time Travel. I immediately interpreted this to mean that Beth would give me a green light for the time travel idea for book two. How much clearer could it get? The clothes were made in Ecuador and one of them had a label in it that described the essence of the second book in the series that I wanted to write.
As it turned out, Beth didn’t like the idea. “Time travel novels don’t sell,” she said.
That blanket statement struck me as wrong. Even now, more than a decade later, it really feels flawed. Readers love to be transported to another time. Just look at the success of Outlander. Or Time and Again by Jack Finney, a classic since it was written in the early sixties. But Beth’s say was final and the second book, Ghost Key, didn’t have any time travel in it.
So why did I misinterpret the message of that synchronicity? Probably because I was so eager to include time travel. This example may qualify as a trickster, too.
And happy summer solstice!
Author and past life life expert Carol Bowman sent me this story. It illustrates the subtlety of synchronicity, I think, where a present event will parallel or hint at something that surfaces in our lives in the near future.
She and her husband, Steve, bought a new living room rug for their 50th wedding anniversary. After the rug arrived, Carol was curious to know where the rug was made and the significance of the design. It’s a Heriz rug, made in Iran. She Googled a map of Iran and the Heriz area. Later that morning, she received an email from an Iranian woman. She told Carol a dream she’d had in which she was shot & killed. She wondered if the injury in that life could be connected to health problems she had now.
Carol responded that her dream imagery could very well by a past life memory. “ Past life memories can surface as vivid dreams, especially ones that seem coherent and in which you remembered dying. Because you died from a shot in your stomach, and you were pregnant at the time, it’s possible that the two serious physical problems you mentioned, if they involve your stomach or reproductive organs, could be a result of that traumatic death. There definitely could be physical carry-over from a previous life. If that’s the case, a past life regression might help resolve these symptoms.”
As Carol added later, she doesn’t think she has ever heard from anyone in Iran before.

At that point, I deleted the app.
I later went back to the original text message from moore 1150 and searched for austwayglobalpty, the main part of the email address that was used. I found a dun & bradstreet listing for the company. The link is below this photo:

I should have asked this Elena- human or AI – what currency was traded. Bitcoin? Porn? Is porn traded for $? No idea. Anyway, if you get a text message from this moore1150, it’s probably smart to delete it.
The late actor Lawrence Dobkin plays a con man named Walter Trump, who enters a dusty town in Texas to scare the locals into believing that the world will end in a rain of cosmic fire unless they let him build a giant wall to protect them. “I am the only one. Trust me,” says Trump. “I can build a wall around your homes that nothing will penetrate.”
In 2018m, Rob wrote this post about it for our blog. I didn’t remember the story until he mentioned it today.
From Rob, 10/2/2018:
I see that PBS has a special tonight, Oct. 2, called Trump Showdown, a deep analysis of Trump’s rise. When I heard about it, I couldn’t help recalling the publicity last year related to a 1950’s episode of a Western about the Texas Rangers called Trackdown that featured a con-man named Walter Trump who warned the townsfolk that the end of the world was coming and he is the only person who can save them by building a wall.
The episode so resonates in strange ways with the current scenario of politics that it seems as if the episode must have been altered to insert the name Trump as the con man. In other words, a con about a conman. But I’m glad to see that Snopes verified that the episode is in its original form and was not changed by CGS magic.
That makes it quite an incredible synchronicity. I’ve watched the entire episode a couple of times, and —spoiler alert—it ends with Trump being arrested.
Vanity Fair in February 2017 published a related article entitled, This Television Show Predicted Donald Trump…in 1958.

Earlier this evening, I ran across an article in the Huffington Post about the death of Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders. The year was 1968 for Apollo 8. Ander is the man who took the iconic photo called Earthrise. I tried to find a royalty free photo of it, but no luck. This is earth from space, but isn’t the photo that Anders took.
Anders, 90, was flying his plane and it went down in the San Juan Islands, where Megan is now working, so I sent her the link. It turned out to be a synchronicity. She and another naturalist, were hiking today in Bellingham, about an hour’s drive from Anacortes, and here is her repsonse:
Holy shit Hannah and I were just watching that video!
It happened this morning and one of the naturalists sent a video of it.
Here’s that video.
The national news is so focused on trump, trump, trump that I didn’t hear a word about this on TV.
On June 6, at 8:38 a.m. EDT, there’s a new moon at 16 degrees Gemini. You can see it in house 11 in the chart. This new moon is keeping company with Venus at the same 16 degrees. Both Mercury and Jupiter are also in Gemini, within 4 degrees of each other. So, new moons usually bring new opportunities according to house and sign. For the sign, this one brings new communication opportunities, a deepening curiosity about everything, and a quick mind.
That conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter expands all communication and proves to be quite fortunate.
In house 9, Saturn is in Pisces at 18 degrees. It squares this moon. Squares are troublemakers and since it involves Saturn, you have to play by the rules. Now look at house 7, where Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius is the loner planet. Jupiter up there in house 11 is at 2 degrees Gemini, so these two planets form a trine to each other – an angle of 120 degrees..
Pluto is all about transformation and Jupiter is about expansion, synchronicity and luck. Generally, even though we have to play by the rules with whatever opportunities surface, this trine whispers, Hey, here come some synchros that will help.
You can find out in the written horoscope here what your sign can expect on this new moon day.
For me, there’s something of a synchronicity in this new moon. The moon at 16 degrees is the same degrees as my Gemini sun. The 6th also marks a year since my sister, Mary, died suddenly and unexpectedly.Our communication has occurred in odd ways, through events that I feel she may have coordinated. I don’t recall any dreams where we communicated. But there have been hummingbirds, which became the family archetype for her. Since this new moon occurs in my 8th house, which governs among other things, life after death and the paranormal, I’m hoping there’s more chatter now from the other side.
When we were recently on Kat Hopson’s FATE Magazine show, she asked us for a mind-blowing synchronicity. I had honestly forgotten about this one until Rob mentioned it.
1987. We were in Caracas, Venezuela, at the Maiquetia Airport, and were waiting in line to have our personal belongings checked. At the time, the drug trade between Venezuela and Colombia was rampant, and young soldiers – in their late teens- were standing guard with weapons drawn. The atmosphere was tense, fevered.
The man in front of us held just a leather briefcase, wore a three-piece suit and tie, and looked like a businessman on his way home. Or maybe he was a drug runner posing as a businessman? As the guard asked him to open the briefcase, we strained to see what it held. Coke? Weed? Heroin?
But it held just one thing: a paperback book by Alison Drake. For a moment, I just stared at it in shock and disbelief. Alison Drake was one of my pseudonyms. This book was the second in a series and I had used a pseudonym because my editor at Ballantine, Chris Cox, had suggested it. In those days, if you had two different series as an author the publisher often wanted two different names.
We were leaning over to look inside the briefcase and so were the armed guards on the other side and we all saw the title: Fevered. It described the tense atmosphere perfectly. I wanted to tap him on the shoulder and tell him it was my book, but the situation was too uneasy, edgy, and those teens with their guns were too close for comfort. So I never said anything.
The man continued on out to the tarmac and the plane and once Rob and I got through the line, we hurried along, eager to catch up with him. But we never saw him again.
This whole mind-blower took place in less than five minutes. Even now, 37 years later, the message seems to be that the title of the book was an absolutely accurate description of the situation. But on a deeper level, for me personally, that fact that it was my novel thrilled and awed me. What were the odds that the only thing a man in a South American airport security line carried in his briefcase was a paperback copy of my novel?
So this mind-blower worked both collectively and personally.
