Are coincidences just random? Or are they a way for something higher to communicate?

random

Absolutely random

No theyre synchroncities. Once you realise them and take stock of them they will be regular. Anyone saying random i wish you well in your search for the truth.

Depends on the coincidence I guess

Random. If they're somehow planned ahead, that's a different thing altogether.

On one hand, I want to believe they're entirely random because the idea of a higher power frightens me.
On the other hand, why do I ALWAYS run into people I specifically don't want to run into when I deliberately take a detour?!?!?!?!

Humans are TOO good at noticing patterns, often to a fault.

I think usually coincidences are just that.

Let's say that human agency, much like a river, flows one way. So, say you bump into a girl that is interested in the same hobby as you and you start dating. That is indeed correlated coincidence. And, say that "God" made you it stands to reason his motivating principal remains in your own agency and therefore had a direct hand in the coincidental interaction brought about by shared agenda. There is also of course the idea that "God" manifestly altered events in motion. And, that might be more in line with most religious thinking. As for "random" events. In truth, I believe these are far rarer than most people realize. As the world doesn't play dice. You can see that for yourself by jumping off a cliff and if it results anything other than you falling.

It should instill fear lol why do you think the world is in the mess its in. Bad decisions incur wrath. Including if i mess up=jailtime. You have your answer there because your avoiding the parts of yourself you see in others so you repeat the lesson until you learn it.

I remember reading that the Deja Vu feeling was a brain error. So sometimes our brain malfunctions and gives importance to random connections that aren't all that meaningful.

or its a glitch in the matrix

You aren't wrong. Maybe the agents want us to believe it is a brain malfunction so we don't question the simulation.

Is that why I don't see any payphones anywhere? So that I can't get out?

those are called synchronicities

i got no opinion on synchronicities because i mostly don't care, what i can say tho is that everyone and everything is interconnected in a lot more ways than what we can currently perceive and understand

I mean, yeah sure they're random, but I wouldn't hold a "Randy wore the same shirt as me at school" coincidence at the same height as a "my boyfriend brought me some food just as I thought I'd cook something" coincidence.

In 2019 its alright i had no clue either but i think the time for waking people up to reality has nearly expired 2020 was a big year for coincidences that slapped more like DO YOU GET THE PICTURE YET. I sure did the madness put me in the mental health wards because i had a hard time getting my head round it.
