A Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing: Reader contribution - Hey, can you hear me? I'm talking to you!

What does it mean?

You've been thinking about somone. Somone you haven't heard from in weeks, months or even years, and within a short period of time you receive some kind of communication from them. Twice I received letters from a woman I had worked with years before within a day of thinking about her for the first time in a long period of time. The second instance I even stopped in front of the mailbox and had the idea that there was going to be a letter from her because it had already happened once and sure enough, there was a letter in the box. My question is obvious. What is this phenomenon that boils down to a "Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing"?

Is it God? Is it the Universe? Entanglement? Are our brains Quantum computers? Is it the "Law of Attraction"?, or is it all nothing more than a coincidence? Carl Jung called it synchronicity and it happens all the time. Does it happen to you? It happens to me and I find myself wondering "What does it mean?". Decide for yourself as you follow my diary of another "Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing", also known as a S.C.O.U.T!

Reader contribution - Hey, can you hear me? I'm talking to you!

Angela wrote - Hey Guen - I love your blog! I have one… First a little background - because of past medical issues I had always been concerned about being able to have children. That was obviously NOT an issue (Angela currently has 4 boys), however, at this time I thought (and worried) about it a lot. It was July 23, 1995 and we were on vacation with Jim’s family. They are devout Catholics so we all went to church in VA beach and ended up in the balcony at the back of the church. It was really crowded and loud so I couldn’t hear the sermon at all (and honestly my mind was wandering, thinking that I wanted to be sitting on the beach instead! Haha). Suddenly, in a BOOMING voice I heard “BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, YOU WILL HAVE A SON” - it was the story of Sarah and Abraham. I got chills and wondered why the priest spoke SO loudly for that one sentence, but no one around me appeared to be phased. It was weird to me at the time that no one else seemed to take notice of this one shouted sentence so I shrugged it off and didn’t think much else about it.

Several weeks later I found out I was pregnant and on April 24, 1996 - almost exactly 9 months later - I had a son! He was born at 12:08 am… less than 10 minutes from being born on the 23^rd!

Thanks Angela - I have become a firm believer that if there is a message for you, it will find its way to you whether your paying attention or not!! I’ve had similar thing happen to me.

As a side note, the day after you were sitting in the church and heard the BOOMING message, I was in the hospital having my twin boys, July 24, 1995! The 24^th must be a good date for having sons!.
