What are the chances?

[EmeraldAtomiser]

I met a guy, months ago, when I was having a pint in Wetherspoons. We got chatting, and talk seemed to naturally turn to psychedelics (he seems like the type).
Fast-forward to last night, and he comes round to my flat for dinner. I've owned this place for going on ten years now, but it turns out his mum lived here for years, over 20 years ago!
We smoked some changa, and his mind was blown.

In my mind, coincidences coincide from within your perception(s).

When these coincidences occur spontaneously, without forcing them, they're often a sign of a wave in the Flux that's worth surfing.

In my experience, if you force them they can come crashing down on you.

At the moment I view them as manifestations of the communications from your Heart-being.

I love it when things come together like this. Some things appear to be destiny.

I've been very interested but also partly confused in the mechanics and the correct way to view manifestation. Can you explain what you mean by "a sign of a wave in the Flux"?

What else you said seems to be correct from what I've noticed myself. Any time I either force a coincidence to happen or get beyond excited once something appears to give me a sign, it kind of damages both me and the journey you suggested "surfing" on.

You and me both!

The way I 'see/feel' it currently is that these 'spontaneous' coincidences are manifested by your heart/body-being. Your mind-being seemingly unaware of the 'coincidence', however it does recognize it as an coincidence. So much for being unaware.

When you then 'follow' the heart-created coincidence, you are 'surfing' a path created by your heart. It feels like everything is clicking and falling into place. Like surfing a wave, pushed forward by an unseen energy force.

And when your mind is creating a faux-coincidence, with the intention of surfing a feel-good wave, it often falls flat on its face.

Often, seemingly, mocked by the heart-being which then starts creating situations that feel like negative (corrective) coincidences.

When you then distance yourself from both your own two beings and become the observer, it becomes quite hilarious at times. This is typically well after the unfolded events and requires some deep reflection.

I have found that becoming the observer is often a healthy way to assess difficult situations, both those created by the heart and those created by the mind.

Now that I write this, along with my obsession of figuring out the third option (the one that isn't), the observer may well be a way of untangling this third option thing.

Who knows. I'm just grasping at straws here.

Those are my current views on the manifestation processes.

There probably is not a correct way, because the would imply that there is also an incorrect way. And one thing that I'm trying to unravel is to get passed these binary options and find the third way, the one that isn't.

Interesting thoughts, and if I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly, I think I've been subconsciously using a similar approach all this time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll give my interpretation of what you said and how it relates to my experience.:

The heart/body being is the true source of all these "coincidences," which are more manifested synchronicities that generate paths to follow. To a normal mind using logic, it just believes or labels such an event to be chance rather than guided or created, but unlikely/odd nonetheless. Putting forth energy into the synchronization (following the path) will be further propelled by existing energy, just like surfing. But straying off course (using the mind and its imperfections), we may lose the wave altogether. The heart body being both manifests a "coincidence" or nudges us towards a path.

The mind-being in your case, like any mind, will think, analyze, and try to control outcomes. Once some kind of manifestation has been reached/learned/realized, it's common (in my case at least) to begin overanalyzing signs and chasing outcomes by putting forth extreme amounts of thought, intent, and action towards certain things. Using the surfing metaphor, this would be akin to trying to create a wave consciously and being frustrated when it doesn't happen. It's similar to how I have been treating manifestation before realizing it's actually counterproductive to approach it that way. "Falling flat on its face" as you stated. In order to get you back on track, the heart-being will give you signs or nudge you back into the correct path somehow using "corrective coincidences." I'm glad you brought this up, because sometimes after treating manifestation wrong or in an unhealthy manner, statistically impossible but cosmic events line up, but in which are extremely negative and humbling. They show me the mistake and redirect me, albeit painfully. Always when I need them the most. It works I guess.

The third view you have seems to be less of a view and its own path altogether. Basically becoming fully mindful, meditative, and not labeling anything as 'yours', internal or external, good or bad, etc. Becoming the thing that remains during states of ego dissolution. I suppose just mimicking ego dissolution without the altered state of consciousness. This is trained on its own and is helpful in remaining grounded, unifying 'you' into a more non-dual state so to speak. And in doing so, at least in my belief system, raises a kind of internal frequency or state which increases the likelihood of that heart-being generating paths in general. The two ideas complement one another, helping each other grow but also bringing each other down at the same time when one fails.

Thanks for making me think. Let me know if I interpreted that correctly, and perhaps give me some advice or other opinions. All this spiritual "stuff" is something I only really got into in the last year, specifically after a vision on ayahuasca. Chances are there's a lot more to learn.

Let me know if I interpreted that correctly

Looks like it.

Create your own stories, from your own experiences, and build a reality that fits your Being best.

Switch up the butterflies for a while and let your heart guide and your mind follow.

The chances? 100% now, 'cos it happened!

Lovely that it did, though!
