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?
