many times. Jung was right. Synchronicities are fucking real.

no, but i've read things that i had just thought about. for a brief moment, that opens up a directly line of communication to the afterlife. i commune from beyond the grave with my favorite dead authors on a regular basis.

All the time. Incidentally, I think "schizophrenia" is caused by hostility, not affinity, to synchronicity and serendipity. Stupid statements cautioning against one's own Self like "rednecks hate science" or "Ted Bundy only cared about himself" can prompt neurotic people to infer Dualism between themselves and the Phenomenal world, to think of the world as their polar opposite demanding they renounce themselves, and to do so lest they become monsters. Such that when their synchronicity and serendipity tell them otherwise, they despair at the dissonance and throw themselves into this Epistemology hoping to find terror and delirium in order to humiliate it.

The Gospel of Phillip is tangentially related to this in its obsession with the CHAMBER.
