[MD] Just coincidence?

[Peter Corteen]

Hi Joseph,

I read, in Lyall Watson, years ago about chemical crystallisations that can
be very difficult to achieve at first but then happen spontaneously  around
the world and about one monkey suddenly learning to wash potatoes before
eating and then those on neighbouring islands begin doing the same soon
after. Also why does the I-ching uncannily supply a text in some way
pertinent to your question?

Coincidences can be exhilarating  and I used to try to see them as omens.

Your examples of evolutionaty theory and discovery of TV and telephone could
be that science was sufficiently developed for the discovery to happen and
there would be no shortage of people trying to come up with new ideas.

Our brains are incredibly complex and work in ways we don't yet understand
but if you mean by 'collective mind' something like telepathy  then I don't
agree.  Sometimes there are connections between observed events that we
can't immediately discern and sometimes there are just coincidences. But I
challenge you to look at your own life and come up with one truly
supernatural event that you have experienced.

Regards

Peter
