Do you believe the universe can send you signals or is it just a glitch in the matrix?

This past week I’ve had to make a difficult decision that will impact my life, not drastically, but something I’ve been mulling over for a number of months has finally come to a head.

Not sure if this is a woo thread, or what. And please feel free to tell me I’m losing the plot.

Since I’ve made the big decision strange coincidences have been happening.

On the day I decided someone I haven’t seen in years randomly sent me tokens in the post that massively relate to the decision I made. Think along the lines of getting a dog and randomly given a dog collar. Not that but you get what I mean, I hope.

Couple of days later I had a meeting with a new person at work. Within 30 minutes of meeting them I had a friend request on social media from some random person with the same name as new colleague. The friend request person said they were just looking to connect with like minded people. They are a spiritualist and healer.

Then I received another out of the blue letter in the post. Only to find out that someone I work with received the same thing. Like a jury summon or such like.

Ive lost the plot haven’t i?

@GenevieveLenard I'm guessing you've been a victim of devious, land-appropriating grasses pretending to be innocent little border plants too? Grin

As a rational person, professional job, psychology degree I feel like I should say stuff like … how when things are on your mind you’ll notice stuff about those things more (eg thinking about getting dog, see lots of dog stuff etc) It’s not the universe sending signals or anything, it’s just psychology etc. I really truly logically want to say that…

BUT….

I don’t fully believe me! I think there is some mystical magic we don’t understand woven into the universe! There is SO much in the universe we simply don’t know about…. And some stuff in life is just outright weird! I’ve had it happen and be meaningful too; I had lots of weird signs before getting my current job…. Ended up moving cities for this job. But oh my!! So glad I did! Its like the fates made it happen because it’s what needed to happen. I’ve had other odd stuff happen too… I’ll normally cautiously trust signs providing they’re ‘comes up and slaps me in the face’ level of obvious signs… I don’t like a coy universe!! Especially with technology at the moment - it feels like if I mention something Facebook can hear and target ads at me! So I expect magic fabric of the universe signs to be more than just a targeted ad!!

It’s so interesting reading all the perspectives. I think my rational brain knows it’s coincidence, but there’s a little part of me that likes to believe it’s confirmation that I’m on the right path. Who knows. It’s certainly made a difficult situation a tiny bit easier.

Thank you for book/theory recommendations. I’m off for some reading before bed.

I totally believe in the universe sending signs. Years ago I’d made a huge life changing decision and was second guessing myself. I asked the universe for a sign that I’d made the right choice and I got a really clear positive sign within ten minutes of asking. I don’t think it’s a glitch in the matrix. Einstein called it ‘spooky action at a distance’. It’s quantum physics…
