Charlie,
I think I have a physical, as opposed to metaphysical explanation for things like this. It has to do with radio frequencies and electrical activity in our individual and collective brains.
The thought came to me when I was having a rash of petty “psychic” experiences. Mostly it was with music playing in my head that had no business being there or flashes of television shows that I hadn’t seen.
It started when I was about 12, I guess, and it happened every three or four years until I was in my early twenties. I once picked up a game show where a contestant said something incredibly stupid. Another time I “saw” a piece of a Maverick show where a guy in a pith helmet kept calling Bret Maverick “Maybrick.” When I turned on the radio and heard the songs or turned on the TV and saw the shows I was astounded.
Then I saw a program where a guy with a metal plate in his head was going nuts with country music he heard constantly in his head and hated with a passion. Turns out the metal plate was somehow acting as a tuner set to a particular country music radio station. Either the man’s doctors or the station (I don’t remember which) made a minor adjustment and the music stopped.
It dawned on me that even without the metal plate the brain with its electrical activity could be a natural receiver and transmitter all set to send or receive to someone or something else on the same wavelength. How do we know what “stations” we’re picking up every day or every hour of the day unless we coincidentally locate where it’s coming from? Combining our collective transmitting powers might be no different than boosting the power of any other transmitter.
This is a situation where coincidence is a reasonable explanation. It also could be the physical mechanism by which some prayers are answered and some are not (who is paying for what and what are the unanticipated consequence – unanticipated by humans but not by God). In the big picture, World War Two, famine in Africa and killer floods, etc., might be good things, even for the victims. –Jasper
