What are Coincidences, and How Do They Impact Our Lives?

Have you ever experienced a coincidence that simultaneously left you feeling amazed and bewildered? Coincidences, also known as serendipity, luck, chance encounters, or synchronicity, happen by chance but appear to have some supernatural connection. I’ve had several exciting coincidences happen to me recently that prompted me to explore what they are and how they can impact our lives. Why do some people believe in them, and how can they be used to make decisions or even find meaning in life? I found some fascinating scientific explanations for these seemingly magical occurrences and historical examples that shaped our world.

Why do we believe in them? How do we find meaning in them?

We often find ourselves in situations where we feel like something more than just coincidence is at play. The experiences I’ve had recently definitely felt as though there was something bigger at play. They were almost psychic experiences. They were so coincidental. When these instances occur, it can be hard to ignore the feeling that there is a greater purpose behind them. This phenomenon is known as synchronicity and has been studied for centuries.

Have you ever experienced a meaningful coincidence that made you wonder if it was a sign from the universe? This phenomenon, known as synchronicity, can be used to help guide us in making decisions and offer counsel. Synchronicity can help us to find meaning in our lives, even when things seem out of our control. It allows us to believe that there are larger forces at work, shaping our lives and experiences in ways we may not be able to see or understand. By recognizing the coincidences that occur around us and believing in them, we can open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and potentials that may otherwise have gone unnoticed.


Examples of Famous Coincidences in History

Coincidences are a part of life and often come in unexpected, strange, and sometimes even bizarre stories. From history to today, many examples of coincidences have left us wondering if it was just luck or something else. I found this interesting article on six famous historical coincidences from the history channel website (see full article here) that pointed out some really bizarre events. Like the fact that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died just hours apart on the same day or that Robert Lincoln, the son of President Abraham Lincoln, was present at no less than three presidential assassinations! What? Then there was the recent strange light phenomenon in the sky over Alaska. A spiral of bluish light appeared in the night sky, leaving residents wondering just what the heck was going on. It turns out SpaceX launched a rocket from California earlier in the day, and a release of excess fuel, coupled with the Aurora Borealis and perfect timing, created the event. See a further explanation here.

These coincidences are often so unlikely that they seem impossible regarding chance. Some may be explained away as mere coincidence (such as the unexpected light show), while others may leave us with more questions than answers (how can one man witness THREE assassinations?!).


The Science Behind Coincidences

Coincidences are common in our lives and can often lead us to ask ourselves, “What does this mean?”. We may wonder if there is something more to the events we experience. It is important to explore the science behind them, to understand what is behind this phenomenon.

According to psychiatrist Bernard Beitman at the University of Virginia, and a coincidence researcher, synchronicities indicate an invisible network connecting everyone and everything. Matrix, anyone? His research has led him to theorize that we all emit an energetic frequency that functions like the Cloud in computing. We can unknowingly (and some who claim they can knowingly) tap into this Cloud of information. Our minds and emotions translate this information into thought and action. Understanding this idea could help us interpret these perceived meaningful patterns in random events. They aren’t random at all but are some invisible force trying to communicate with us. We can gain insight into why coincidences occur and how they can be interpreted meaningfully. This insight can help us discover our life purpose, and can help us make decisions that will lead to success.

Embrace the Power of Coincidence and Enjoy its Magical Possibilities

Coincidences are a part of life. We can use them to our advantage. By embracing the power of coincidences, we can open ourselves to new possibilities and experiences that we otherwise would not have had. We can use this power to connect seemingly disparate events and ideas, allowing us to gain insights and knowledge that would otherwise remain hidden. With an open mind, we can learn to appreciate the beauty of coincidences and enjoy their magical possibilities.

    Hello KT! It’s been a while. I was wondering if you were still writing. I haven’t received a newsletter recently, so decided to stop by and see if you had posted anything. I really enjoyed this one. I love it when synchronicity happens! I always take it as a sign I’m on the right path. Looking forward to catching up on some of your short stories over on Reedsy. ~Meg2

    KT – why aren’t you sending out newsletters anymore? Like Meg2, I was thinking about you and decided to check your site. Perhaps it was coincidence that I found a new post or three?! Ha! See what I did there?

    Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see all the stuff you’ve posted since my last email from you. I’m leaving a comment to reconfirm my signup info.
