OK, so I am at my computer, early pre-dawn hours... have completed my meditation and reading and am watching a Deepak Chopra video from Unityonline.org. Dr Chopra is discussing his book 'The Third Jesus' (which I haven't read... evidently I am still grappling with the first Jesus ), and I am multi-tasking... natch!

So he is answering a question about what consciousness is and how does it relate to our minds, etc. etc and he is using this illustration: Picture a red rose, he says. And, of course, I picture a red rose. Then he says, if I go into your brain, I won't see a red rose, but a whole bunch of photons firing off between different neural receptors in your brain tissue. So, he asks, where is the red rose? In your consciousness, of course.

OK, so here is where I get a 'hack'... I am working on a laptop on the same desk as our home computer, and just beyond the screen of my laptop is the flat monitor for the home computer. That machine is idling and running the screensaver slideshow that my wife has engineered... it displays a slide-show of all the clip-art that she has compiled over the many years... must be over 200 images, I guess. Well, just as Dr Chopra is saying, 'Where is the red rose?' in this video, I just happen to glance up at the other computer's monitor and what do you suppose I see? You guessed it! A little piece of clip-art showing a pair of red roses!

Cool, huh?

I just love reality!

Cool story!

Here's what I want to know:

Do you think it was purely a synchronicity?

Or do you think you had a subtle influence over the timing of that specific picture?

Or was it a combination of the two?

Or was it something else entirely?


The fact that it was early morning and you had just meditated is interesting
