Amazing Coincidences – Random Chance or Cosmic Connection?

As I mentioned in my previous post, some believe that everything in the universe is interconnected, and that this interconnection may explain many amazing coincidences.  I love to read about such coincidences, as they stir my sense of wonder and make me aware of the miraculous. 

Two of my favorite amazing coincidences are these:

Swapped Hotel Finds
In 1953, television reporter Irv Kupcinet was in London to cover the coronation of Ellizabeth II. In one of the drawers in his room at the Savoy he found found some items that, by their identification, belonged to a man named Harry Hannin. Coincidentally, Harry Hannin – a basketball star with the famed Harlem Globetrotters – was a good friend of Kupcinet’s. But the story has yet another twist. Just two days later, and before he could tell Hannin of his lucky discovery, Kupcinet received a letter from Hannin. In the letter, Hannin told Kucinet that while staying at the Hotel Meurice in Paris, he found in a drawer a tie – with Kupcinet’s name on it! (Mysteries of the Unexplained)

Paging Mr. Bryson
While on a business trip sometime in the late 1950s, Mr. George D. Bryson stopped and registered at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. After signing the register and being given his key to room 307, he stopped by the mail desk to see if any letters had arrived for him. Indeed there was a letter, the mail girl told him, and handed him an envelope addressed to Mr. George D. Bryson, room 307. This wouldn’t be so odd accept the letter was not for him, but for room 307’s just-previous occupant – another man named George D. Bryson. (Incredible Coincidence, Alan Vaughan)

Now how could everything be interconnected?  To the human eye, it seems not to be so.  People and things are separate, are they not?  Well yes and no.  All of existence is really an atomic/electrical field of countless atoms and molecules.  What seems solid and separate to us is really a cloud of electromagnetic particles and charges.  How energy travels back and forth through the field is not fully understood.  What seems to be supernatural or paranormal phenomena may simply be natural processes working themselves out.
