Prompt:
"What evidence can you find for synchronicity
Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?"
This is such an interesting subject. It gets me tangled up and I don't know if I'm able to write about it. How to write a blog post on something I know to be true and real but don't have the vocabulary to describe it satisfactorily to another party.
Who's satisfaction? Synchronicity depends wholly on the witness - who is viewing it? A synchronistic event can't be untangled from its viewer(s). Should it be? Does synchronicity need to be recognized?
Any evidence I have for synchronicity is going to be subjective, and describing a subjective experience isn't evidence in a laboratory-objective-textbook way. And that's where I get stuck. I want to come across as very logical and full of right angles, and this subject is very irregularly-shaped.
This entanglement idea - that teeny tiny bits in me are unfathomably connected to minuscule bits in someone or something else, and sometimes they have cause to react simultaneously - I love this. Like someone else said in the discussion, I take these moments as a sign that the universe is speaking to me, telling me yea or nay about some path or decision. Why would the universe do this? Why would it care? If I take the vantage point that I'm the most important person, then the universe so interfering in my life would make perfect sense. But if these events are happening frequently to anyone who has this idea, then the vantage point changes. The frame widens. I start worrying about what the end goal is, the objective to all this universal meddling and nudging. And I don't want animals, insects, pathogens, and spores to be left out of this equation, either. Dreams, myths, the collective unconscious. Would my worrying about it/witnessing it change the way things are progressing? And bad things are also happening, suffering and desire. Now there are too many parts to keep track of - this is where the need for faith fits neatly.
My happiness depends on the idea of a benevolent universe so I back up again into my little community-sized frame and enjoy the synchronicities in the small ways I have been. So I guess I do have the vocabulary to discuss it; but discussing it makes me feel uneasy, like I'm touching the edge of the void. It's a wonderfully fun thing to think about but a little above my pay grade.

I truly respect your honest viewpoint in this manner! I can feel your very soul trying to break through to the next world to expanding your consciousness in synchronicity! And your cat gif is so adorable~
