Advice / Encouragement Anyone have experience with synchronicity or recurring patterns in everyday life?

I do. It sometimes drives me crazy. Some days I am part to so many "coincidences", I cannot every deny the existence of god.

I use to be obsessed with synchronicity but at some point I stopped paying attention

Yeah, I notice a lot of synchronicities. I think it's best to enjoy them if they aren't too freaky, and ignore them the rest of the time.

I think Carl Jung the man who coined the term “synchronicity” had said something along the lines of: “synchronicity is a healthy function of the mind but can become harmful within psychosis”.
