What's the strangest coincidence in your experience?

Question

And... what is coincidence? Is it destiny/fate, a random experience, or something else altogther? .... Oooooh

Not quite a coincidence - but I was just dreaming that I got 10 points for a best answer - and when I checked my mail, guess what?...

Thanks for your answers so far - I really like them.

Do you believe there is a purpose to coincidence?

Answer 1

I live in Florida, and ran into my next door neighbor at Heathrow Airport in London a few years ago. He didn't know I was in Europe, I didn't know he was in Europe, but we ended up in the same line at the gift shop.

Purely coincidence, there's no such thing as destiny or fate, that's just stuff gypsy fortune tellers made up years ago.

Answer 2

Well I don't know if it was a coincidence, or a God thing (as my mother calls it). But anyway, I had horrible infentigo when I was two. It was so bad that I didn't sleep for more then 20 minutes at a time, two very important features on my chest got wounds and "exploded" and were gone, and I had a rash so bad I was supposed to be scarred for life. Well after a few weeks of going to endless dr's and being told only bad news, my parents took me to church. The members prayed for me, and the elders litterally lifted me up. The next day I was almost 100% better. Where before I had nothing but oozing sores, they were either gone, or had finally scabbed up. i had finaly slept through the night, and was generally feeling much better and in a better mood. And I don't have a single scar on my body, like I was supposed to.

Now I know some of you will call this coincidence. But many, and I mean many, really good dr's (including the famous dr sears) could not explain why I got better. sure maybe I was just luck, but i'd like to belive it was something more.

Answer 3

the strangest coincidence of my experiance was this: I experianced a very deep relationship. when we broke up after 7 months, though, it seemed thaat even though he turned hard into drugs and almost died because of it, i struggled longer. because its been 11 months and i still cry about it. The strange coincidence, is that since then i have gotten in another relationship which i hae completely ****** over, and i feel like i am going to jst get into something dangerous and he is going to be upset for a very long time, just like i was. Coincidence is carma. and in most situations it'll come around and bite you really hard in the ***. so hard that you need councelling twice a month and antidepressant pills.

Answer 4

I met a friend I see everyday after spending 2 hours in the car with him , I had a thought about a person we met 5 years ago one night and never saw again (the person was really weird) and that same moment, my friend turned to me and said do you remember that weird guy we saw 5 years ago, even though the topic of conversation was about food :) it's weird we both had the same thought at the same time. oh and the time I woke up with 10 other people that looked like me in my bedroom one night, but that's another story....

Answer 5

I’m not sure this qualifies as a coincidence but for a while I tried to pretend it was. Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
