    Synchronicity is also a function of observation. The more you sit back to observe, rather than focus on some immediate goal, the more you see that you can connect. New Age and esoteric practice is actually not too bad at teaching mindfulness...

    Fakest footage possible. Bad quality AI-generated imagery. Textures are moving. The footage is not how a handheld-camera would record. It does not match what is described by the girls. This opinion is built upon 14 years of CGI expertise, which...

    Looks like CGI. Would you turn your back on such a strange being just a few metres away like the "soldier" in the clip? The camouflage glimpsed doesn't look like standard Brazilian issue, certainly not the most common French-inspired "lizard"...

    There is a press conference in Washington D.C. tomorrow related to this event (or "event") with firsthand witnesses, I read. There is also video footage people are considering such as YouTube clip Is this a real nonhuman being?

    The idea of synchronicity is fun... but so are ghost stories. If you want to talk about coincidence... The most outrageous coincidence I've ever experienced involved an analog watch with a dead battery that I'd put away and hadn't looked at for...

    my funnest one (not sure it was synchronicity per se): i was getting a new roof so they spent the day ripping everything off. an old house so they were wood planks not plywood under the shingles. Yard covered in a mangled pile of old wood pieces...

    I think there is a pareidolic phenomenon wherein one finds meaningful coincidences through attention and observation; years ago when I sorted books at the library, books would magically appear with titles that would directly pertain to the live...
