Is it normal that my thoughts and the universe are related?

Hi, how are you? I hope you are well. This is my first post on is it normal because I wanted something that would have really affected me enough to ask about. I just don't know if this is a normal thing.

For the longest time, my thoughts have been correlating to the experiences in my life. Even if the thoughts weren't positive or negative, but neutral. I'll give you three outstanding examples that have happened together in a short period of time. There are examples prior, but this kind of thing has been happening so much, that these three have prompted me to reach out and ask about it.

1. I had this thought about the fact that people post pictures of their loved one's graves on the Internet for people to see how close they were to them. With captions like "Rest in Peace, Grandma", "Continue to watch over me", etc.
Right when I open up Facebook and before the page even loads is when I say to myself: "I'm probably gonna see another cemetery picture. Guess what happened? The first post I see is one of my friends, Raven, with a picture of her squatting before a grave.

2. I was watching a movie and I had this thought about my father passing away from alcoholic liver damage. For the first time, I thought about the details of how the alcohol really damaged his organs and made him so ill. I said to myself: "The Universe will tell me something". Right when I looked back at the movie, I saw the character taking a drink of a bottle of beer.

And here's the best one of all.

3. I was at the grocery store with just my older sister. Upon shopping, I had this quote from Steve Jobs in my head. "If you were to die tomorrow, what would you do today?". I got his point, you really gotta love yourself and treat others as if it was the last time you were gonna see them. What happened when I repeated the thought in my head and turned around? I ran into my mother. We didn't even tell each other we were gonna go grocery shopping today. It was a complete surprise.

Look, I can EASILY say that this was a matter of pure coincidences. But I don't want to live my life like that. I want to have a purpose.

Is it normal that my thoughts affect the Universe?

    Your last sentence is exactly how I think about it too.

    Sure, logically I know it would be stranger if these things *didn't* happen. And they're probably meaningless.

    But I like recording synchronicities like this the too. And It makes me feel good to think that they do have some significance. If only to remind yourself that your thoughts are important - because they are.

    So, three times you've thought something and then something related happened? I bet there's 532985743895 times you've thought about something and then nothing related happened. But you forgot about all them times because they didn't fit your theory.

    When I got on my lunch beak the other day there was a song on that went "I'll show you how to eat, its a culinary treat" or something like that.lol These things happen quite often to me as well. I feel like they are the universe's reassurance that i'm on the right path, headed in the right direction...like the giant hawk perched near my car the other day and the number 11:11 I saw as it flew off.. I love these things and I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be.

    Like birdy said, synchronicity.

    It is proof that everything is not quite how it seems.

    Yes your thoughts are important and have effects outside your own body.

    Your thoughts don't control the universe.
    The universe controls your thoughts.
    You are a puppet.
    A marionette.
    How do these thoughts get to you?
    Why they just pop right into your head.
    It's almost as if you thought them yourself.
    You are being hoodwinked.
    Deceived.
    You have no control.
    The Matrix has you . . . . . .

    I got a bit lost in your examples, however there is a belief that is probably more common than not in creating your own reality. This means different things to different people and the results you get depend on how strongly you believe something. Me personally I find it easy to connect my thoughts and beliefs to the outcomes I get in life.

    It would be abnormal if they weren't since you and your thoughts are a part of the universe.

    There are no such things as coincidences yet there are is no such thing as fate or pre-ordained a future.

    There are simply events which happen.

    It's just like a flock of Iranian seagulls. Their thoughts are intricately connected to the rest of the Universe. When you feed them a chip, you are feeding the soul of the Universe.

    And I ran, I ran so far away.

    Ya these things happen all the time. They often seem like more than just a coincidence. Like synchronicity, and I like to believe that they mean something.

    Haven't we all had the experience of thinking, "I wonder how so and so is doing?" and see them, get a text or call from them shortly thereafter?
    These kinds of coincidences happen quite frequently if we are paying attention. Perhaps they are a bit of a sixth sense thing, or being "in touch with the universe" as you say, but they aren't that unusual.
