You must have picked up on their vibes. Things like that really remind me how this crazy wacky existence works. Awesome. Sometimes things seem very random to me until later after time passes and then I realize the answer to the puzzle. I'm still waiting for a few answers but I'm sure that they will come. Take care.

Random is a word we invented, to cover the patterns we don't recognise 😎

Cool story bro! They were really really lucky to cross your path :P

I believe nothing is happening randomly as well as nothing is happening by destination.
Every decision we are making in our life is pointing towards a specific direction and our path through space and time is changing.

In every moment peoples paths are crossing and surprisingly we have these lucky happenings. Your path and their paths crossed each other. The chance is so small that we are using the word "random" for such moments but thats not true.

Randomness is an illusion to save us from too long thinking processes and to save time. If we really think about: why did I won in the lottery? Simple answer: because you bet on the right numbers lol

Thanks for this video and this topic @bobaphet :)

I always enjoy your stuff!

Peace!

You put that incredibly well 🙏
Peace.

Thanks mate :)

A work mate & I got free tickets to a football game over 100km away (semi final) through a place I was working one time. I was never a football fanatic but there was a guy I went to school with playing on the day and the tickets were free so I thought I'd go & check it out.

When I got there another bloke I went to school with and I hadn't seen for 15 years was sitting in my seat. I don't know if there was any deeper meaning to it but there were about 35 thousand people at the game on the day and the bloke sitting in my seat grew up a few hundred metres away from me.

35 000 : 1 is lot longer odds than any casino game.

I used to get a lot of those uncanny coincidences, sometimes accompanied by great opportunities years ago, now it almost never happens. It's like the universe has had me hold for the last ten years or so.

When you acknowledge these moments, and give thanks, they happen more often.
Peace.

That story just gave me goosebumps. I think its so magical how things in our lives are presented because we are in the right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing. I love hearing instances like this. Also this may be a little out there but I love the leopard print you're laying on. 😍 It's my favorite.

I too love hearing similar stories. The goosebumps you speak of, are like a sense of primal recognition of recognition.
Peace.

Small world Bob! This story reminds me of a time 12 years ago... Let me smoke this doobie and romanticise the past here...

I was moving from Arkansas to Florida. I rented a Uhaul truck with a tow dolly to hitch my truck to so I could take it with me. I was traveling to Tampa and then to Sarasota. I made it all the way to Ocala, which was still about two to three hours north of Tampa. I stopped for gas. When I was pulling into the gas station, I turned too sharp and the tow dolly hit one of those yellow polls next to the pump that was behind me. It crinkled the tire into the hub thing that went around the wheel so the dolly couldn't move. I didn't pay for insurance and I was starting to freak out because I couldn't move the truck with the tow dolly broken like it was.

Moments later a truck pulled in to get gas and the guy that got out saw that I was stranded and offered to help me. After getting his gas he pulled in and parked and got out to help me. He said he worked for Uhaul and said this problem was a piece of cake. I'm like, "NO FUCKING WAY!" What are the odds of that!? a Uhaul mechanic pulls up shortly after I crashed the thing into the side of the gas pump!? WOW!

He got out a hammer and used it to beat away the hub thing that went around the tire freeing the wheel and axle. He said it will look ugly going down the road and Uhaul shouldn't say nothing because all they have to do is replace the wheel hub. He said normally he charges $300 to do something like that. I was like, can I give you $20 at least? You just saved my ass! He took the $20 and left, and I was back on the road like nothing ever happened.

Small world!!!
Have a good day Bob :-).
PEACE!

I wonder how many moments like these we miss, everyday, just by not engaging?
Peace.

Kind of, exactly like a matrix 😎
You think they're actual words, that you're reading?

nothing random it's all our decisions :)
#SnapComment

Its true that nothing is random. Humans do not have free will. What we do now influences what we will do in the future. However, there are some things to consider. The odds of that particular scenario happening is small, but there are an almost infinite number of other scenarios with low odds that could happen at any given time. If you add up the probabilities of each individual improbable outcome happening, you have pretty good odds that ANY one of those outcomes will happen at any given time. Its not like these things happen on a frequent basis. If you were thinking about.your grandma and then she suddenly calls you, that would surprise.you, but what about all the other times in.your life where you thought of her (or anyone for that matter) and she didnt call you?

Have you run out of crackers?
Peace.

Yes, it still traumatizes me to this day. That is why nathanmars cancelled DTube Snap...

As far as I'm aware, I'm pretty sure, that I was the first person to snap on dtube 😉
Peace.

That seems to be a lucky coincidence. I think the problem with assigning meaning to luck like saying everything is planned is variability. With enough variability and different circumstances we are bound to stumble onto these fortunate happenings. I could be wrong though, truth be told, we don't know.

So if you say it's not random, what is it then? :)

Haha!!
Answers are a dime a dozen, but good questions are priceless, and that my friend, is a very good question.
One worth spending much time on, in meditation and contemplation.
Peace.

Thx, peace;)

I think there are intuitive waves sent out that cause things like this. Kind of like dogs hearing a high pitched whistle human cannot hear. These thiings cannot be observed by our Conscious but rather are sub conscious.

These people sent out a vibe that was picked up by your sub conscious and that is the reason you stopped, imho :)

Very interesting post as always , Bob
