If this whole life was a dream seen by some infant who is lying inide a mother's womb waiting to be born. Once we die in this life, we wake up or be born to the actual world. Is'nt that cool?
I would like to think so.
We all have dreams.
We see dreams when we are awake and while asleep. We think, we imagine, and some of us write down. Have we ever felt that, those we write down or imagine or dream, simply happens as it is. It will be a shock. Or a great coincidence.
Maybe I am drawn to such thoughts because of my love towards fantacy and fiction.
There was a novel called Futlity by an author named Morgan Robertson about a ship named Titan. According to the novel this ship was considered unsinkable as It was the biggest of its time. And so, it had only less lifeboats for its whole 3000 passengers. The novel dealt with the sinking of this ship by striking an iceberg on April near midnight in the North Atlantic. The ship was racing at a speed of 25 knots and hit the iceberg at the starboard and sunk in 5 minutes.
You wouldnt be amazed if this novel was published on 1912 after the sinking of the great Titanic as the tragedy happened on 14 April 1912 @ 11:40pm presicely. Well its true.
But the actual fact was, It was re-published on 1912 by the auther himself as he realized that the novel's theme greatly resembled to that of the real incident. Yes, the novel Futility was first published on 1898, 14 years prior to the tragedy, even before Titanic was made. Thats not all.
The size, weight, speed, point of impact, number of passengers, month of impact, number of lifeboats, horsepower, number of propellers and even the number of compartments were all shockingly almost accurate in the novel.
Not to mention the ship's name Titan. Well, Titanic's makers had a tradition of naming its ships ending with an 'ic' like oceanic, olympic, Germanic, britannic and the list goes on. Otherwise the name could also have been the same.
How do you explain this? Is it coincidence?
I dont think so. Some people call this phenomenon "Synchronicity".
So it might happen like the imagination or dream of a human being can become a reality.
If the company "White Star Line" who made the Titanic and nicknamed it unsinkable, ever read this book before Titanic's maiden voyage, that might have saved many lives.
I believe that God send us a warning sign in the form of Robertson's imagination and created the "Futility". The fact that man's arrogance and intelligence is nothing in front of God's will was thoroughly established when the novel was republished again on 1912 indicating "you were warned but didnt listen".
There might have been signs and warnings before every disaster that took place. I am not saying "There was". Maybe we saw these signs and perceived them wrongly.
Synchronicity
Synchronicity is a phenomenon where two different events share a common link which has some deep meaning or is somehow related to the person involved in it.
I have something personal to discuss which I believe is something close to this phenomenon. After my graduation, I was job-hunting for months. Suddenly one morning about 6 am, I received a message wishing me luck for finding the job soon. Also it said "I will pray" for that to happen soon. I was curious as it was so early to receive a message, also an unknown number. I called back and It was one of my friends. We talked for sometime and I was about to sleep again after the call as I had nothing to do other than applying online. Before falling to bed I saw a today weekly on my bed probably put by my roommate. In it was a message written in bold
" Tomorrow is too late".
I thought if it had anything to do with my ongoing lazy life.
I just read and then slept again. After one hour I got a call from my friend saying there is an interview and asked me to get ready for it right away. They were looking for 2 noobs. I was not even prepared. The interview was within 1 hour and I rushed for it and got that job. Although the job didnt go very well for me, but this was an example of synchronicity as it was my first interview and first job.
So in conclusion Synchronicity is the way of the Universe trying to tell you something
