I have many times where the Lord has intervened at just the right moment! None quite as quietly astounding as those you shared or those shared, here, but nevertheless tell me, without a doubt, that God has us in His hands and guides and directs us.

When the weight of the World seems unbearable and we feel too weary to move on, we receive a beautiful gift like the promise of a new day to sustain and renew us.

What a beautiful tribute to yourself, your spirit guides, your friends, and the Divine Light which IS each of us. Thank you for writing this story. By the very nature of the story, people are inspired to pay more attention, to be fully present in the moment, and to listen with their hearts. Doing these things will reminds us of the Truth of Who We Are - individually and as a collective. I am deeply touched by your generosity and authenticity. Everyone would benefit in so many ways by subscribing to your substack! With deep gratitude for you...💕

I know in life people have heard the saying the Lord moves in mysterious ways he gives us peace he gives us joy he gives us resolve he gives us all these things that we have I truly believe that he is Almighty he does things nobody else can do he allows people to come to us at times and give us peace I've experienced this at many times in my life in different ways sometimes through music sometimes I thought that's put in my head that is something I had not thought about or never thought about and even sometimes I've Heard a Voice here and there but it is wonderful the way God gives us peace

Love hearing your stories of synchronicity! I believe when they keep recurring in your life it verifies you’re on the right path/track.

I used to get a lot of these type of occurrences during my initial awakening period of 2009-2013, which was kind of a magical time for me. Haven’t been getting them much the last few years, so that tells me I have strayed from my path, which is kind of how I’ve been feeling on the external physical level. Feel like I’ve taken some steps backward and hence very little synchronicity lately. I miss it!

Lovely synchronicity… I think those are iridescent clouds--one of my favorite things in the world. I've seen them a few times, one time in particular I remember in Colorado and another time when I was flying back from the DC area to Texas around sunset. I was alone on a rather crowded plane with the usual passenger conversations and announcements from the flight crew for takeoff and safety. As we gained altitude, suddenly we were engulfed by what I thought at the time was a rainbow with soft shades of yellow, green, orange, pink, and blue (iridescent clouds). Almost at once the plane became completely silent and there was the sort of insulated feeling one often gets when walking in the winter in freshly fallen snow. No one was speaking. We were all there, strangers, experiencing this phenomenon together--apart but somehow intimately connected. That was about thirty years ago but I've never forgotten it.

It was definitely a full-arc rainbow; I have other shots that I couldn't include for space reasons. Here are some more photos:

I totally believe in divine intervention. My husband and I have been together for 18 years. Both divorced with children from our 1st marriages, we met on a Thursday night one week in August while our children were all on vacation with their other parent. What are the chances that our ex-spouses would take our children on vacation the same week out of the year? My husband said he almost didn't go out that evening and then changed his mind because it was such a nice (weather) night. We both had joint custody of our children but on opposite nights so we would have likely never been out on the same night. We did not run in the same crowd but had some common acquaintances nor did we frequent the same places. So many other things have happened in our time since meeting that I can only be amazed at how beautifully it all came together. It was surely God's plan.

You have such a wonderful gift! Your honesty and sincerity shines brightly. How you manage to bring in so many points that are seemingly unrelated, then somehow manage to tie them all together in a humble package - brilliant! I’m thrilled you wrote about synchronicity, it’s a topic near and dear to me.

All of which is happening is God’s Great work. You deserve such wonderful things in life, especially happiness. I know you’re destined for greatness and this year is your time to shine and in the years to come. God be the Glory.

A Christian perspective is that there is no luck. God in His sovereignty has predetermined all events.

Perhaps the synchronicity phenomenon is brief moments when we realize we are part of His predetermined plan for us.

Thank you for everything you do for this movement Cognitive Carbon. Glory to God.

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.” - Werner Heisenberg

Though I wonder if he was certain of that.

What an awesome first article since my subscription. You included samples of your S22 pictures, and discussed one of my favorite topics, synchronicity. What a pleasant surprise to know you'll be touching on that and other topics as well as physics. Synchronicities have fascinated me for years. Sometimes they seem quite random, while at other times have a more obvious meaning or message. I like to think it is the Holy Spirit letting us know when we are on the right path.

Several years ago, a beloved cousin lost her long battle with with cancer. It was around Christmas. She had a snow globe on a shelf in her room that could be wound to play "Silent Night" the Christmas carol. It had not been wound for a while. She soon took her final breath, with family at her side. A few minutes later everyone was astonished when the silence was broken. That snow globe played "sleep in heavenly peace!" It was wonderful, and everyone immediately thought of her in Heaven. God is good! How many times has He revealed Himself, through music, or in the beauty of Creation? We need to keep our eyes open to see what He reveals. Seems to me you're capturing some of those things Eric. Thank you for sharing.

I wish your Dad who suffered a stroke after the vax would be still able to read your articles. He always enjoyed your writing. We've experienced many such occasions in our lives and know that these were no coincidences. The things that I have been praying for you are becoming realizations right now. I can feel the spirit of God. You are being blessed. He knows you are a kind and truthful man who deserves so much. You have helped and touched so many people in their lives. It is your turn now to have a happy life. You are being loved.
