You may think this is just coincidence, but it may be a sign from God or
a higher power. The start of something wonderful for me coming up.

For a snack in the afternoon, I often make a cup of tea and have four
crackers with peanut butter and jelly. Did the same today but then it happened.

I had just enough PB to finish the jar, then spread the strawberry
preserves and just enough for the four, finished the jar.

Next time, both start with a new jar. The start of a new life!

I'm sure there is something in the bible about events like this.
Perhaps Noah had a jar of each on the Ark and finished the same way.
Should I bee looking out for space ship?

That is similar to my father in law's usual dinner after MiL died. He
had a fairly steady menu. Breakfast was a bowl of yogurt with a little
granola and then a couple poached eggs and some whole wheat toast with
a spoonful of honey on each bite. He would take the subway downtown and
have lunch at a restaurant or one of his clubs. He had a when he got
home he had a nap. Supper would be a couple crackers with peanut butter
and a double martini.

It certainly looks peaceful if they slip away while they are sleeping.
My mother went that way. I was sitting beside her while she seemed to be sleeping it. They nurse came to check her blood pressure there was none
and she said she was gone. My SiL found my FiL dead in his bed and said
he looked very peaceful. Death is often a very slow process where organs
start to fail and tissue is dying and it can be a very painful process,
which is why they give them lots of medication to "keep them comfortable".

My BiL was a chatterbox so the odds were that he would die in the middle
of a sentence, and that is what happened. He was at his chalet with his
lady friend and all excited that his son was on his way up to visit
after returning home from a peace keeping mission in Bosnia. BIL was
standing by the kitchen door talking to his girlfriend and collapsed in
the middle of a sentence. He just went down and was dead.

Why wouldn't it be peaceful? No struggling for breath, no excruciating
pain that only a large dose of morphine can eliminate for an hour or
two.

Go to sleep, the heart stops, no struggling, and it's over.

I like scholarly misfits - they make the best teachers. As far as Alan Watts goes,
the only thing I know about him is that he has a great radio voice, and a very neat and tidy name. As far as synchronicity goes, it'll probably make more sense
to people that tend to see how things are connected.

God has spoken to me twice. When I was a street urchin of five or six, I wandered by our Catholic church as HIS powerful message flowed out in
Latin. I sat on the steps of the church to receive HIS message. The
priest sent an usher to throw me off the property. I went. I should
mention that I was a nearly-naked urchin in a bathing suit.

When eleven or twelve, I knew a family who were Episcopalian. They
convinced me to go to church. He had some sway, and I became an
unbaptized acolyte. After a few months of standing in a robe and holding
a candle, the acolyte next to me passed out and spilled hot candle wax
on another acolyte.

God had spoken. Three strikes and you're OUT!

For a snack in the afternoon, I often make a cup of tea and have

I had just enough PB to finish the jar, then spread the
strawberry preserves and just enough for the four, finished the
jar.

Next time, both start with a new jar. The start of a new life!

I'm sure there is something in the bible about events like
this. Perhaps Noah had a jar of each on the Ark and finished
the same way. Should I bee looking out for space ship?

I certainly would take it as a sign but I always see the
connection in things - even when they don't exist.

Alan Watts was a scholarly misfit of epic proportions.

I like scholarly misfits - they make the best teachers. As far as
Alan Watts goes, the only thing I know about him is that he has a
great radio voice, and a very neat and tidy name. As far as
synchronicity goes, it'll probably make more sense to people that
tend to see how things are connected.

Leading and learned scholar of Tibetan studies, very much a 60s-70s
icon.

When he spoke Alan Watts did not advocate self-improvementrCo instead he
was promulgating self-understanding. He never claimed to be anything
other than a playful observer or a philosophical entertainer, and
didnrCOt endorse a particular path or behavior, but encouraged listeners
to consider a variety of worldviews. Instead of advocating for a single
method he felt the direct experience of reality, and rCytriangulationrCO onerCOs position by comparing the views of diverse cultures, including
the traditional cultures of the Far East, was for him a fruitful
methodology.
Seeing nature as the essential qualities or Tao of things, he focused
on the idea of rCymutual arisingrCO, and pointed out the intelligence of navigating with course, current and grain of nature, which he called
the rCywatercourse wayrCO He also often referred to the art of rCyupayarCO, or skillful means, and of putting up a sail to catch the winds of nature
instead of pushing through with the force of human endeavor.

God has spoken to me twice. When I was a street urchin of five or
six, I wandered by our Catholic church as HIS powerful message flowed
out in Latin. I sat on the steps of the church to receive HIS
message. The priest sent an usher to throw me off the property. I
went. I should mention that I was a nearly-naked urchin in a bathing
suit.

When eleven or twelve, I knew a family who were Episcopalian. They
convinced me to go to church. He had some sway, and I became an
unbaptized acolyte. After a few months of standing in a robe and
holding a candle, the acolyte next to me passed out and spilled hot
candle wax on another acolyte.

God had spoken. Three strikes and you're OUT!

For you there ought be zen.

Signs from God should not be considered to be strikes. Indeed, they are heaven's
balls. Four balls and you get to walk into heaven. It's the reason that people with a lot of visions tend to vanish from the face of this existence. Of course,
there is a chance you'll spontaneously burst into flames or you might have to be burnt as a witch. Luckily, I've only had one vision - so far.

Please share it. But only if not a daydream,
REM dream, or fever/drug induced hallucination.

I had an epiphany once complete with temporary
deafness &c, but never what one would (should(?))
consider to be an honest-to-God vision.
