[MD] Expect a miracle , expect DQ

[Platt Holden]

Hi All, 

For several months I've been keeping a daily record of seeming 
coincidences that I call miracles in that they have benefited me in one 
way or another but have no apparent cause. 

Examples:

May 27 -- Happened to find just what I needed to repair back stay on model 
boat

May 30 -- Discovered a way to strip small speaker wire for mini-radio

June 2 -- Soaking rain began today after morning paper reported we were in 
a drought

June 4 -- Accidentally ran across reference to keyboard note finder I had 
been looking for. Ordered

June 12 -- While flipping through files in bottom drawer found perfect
envelope to send grandfather's medal to museum on Long Island

June 17 -- Burnished white tape with edge of rule to prevent leakage when 
painting a straight layer, like a shadow,  over a previously painted area 

None of these incidents by themselves will turn any heads in the telling, 
but since beginning to note them I have found they occur almost daily as 
long as I remind myself to expect them. 

I realize this may be just be an example of the truism that you will find 
what you are looking for, or will see what you want to see. On the other 
hand this may be an example of Carl Jung's synchronicities.

When I looked up "synchronicity" in Wikipedia, I noted this paragraph:

"It was a principle Jung felt encompassed his concepts of archetypes and 
the collective unconscious [2], in that it was descriptive of a governing 
dynamic that underlay the whole of human experience and history — social, 
emotional, psychological, and spiritual."

Immediately I translated this passage into MOQese:

"Quality was a principle Pirsig felt encompassed his concepts of reality 
in that it was descriptive of a governing dynamic (DQ) that underlay the 
whole of human experience and history -- inorganic, biological, social, 
intellectual, and artistic. "

So these little incidents I've noted may also be little examples of DQ at
work. After all, Pirsig says DQ comes as a surprise and appears as 
a wondrous occurrence,  an apt description of how I felt when presented
with even minor synchronous events such as described above. 

I wonder if any of you have connected Jung's synchronicity with Pirsig's 
DQ?  Have you experienced miracles of one sort or another that appear
to have no basis in natural science?. Or, have you experienced DQ in some 
other way?

Thanks,
Platt
