    Ripples in the matrix?

    For those of you familiar with The Matrix and the repetitive occurence of 'ripples in the matrix' (otherwise known as deja vous) - have you ever experienced something similiar.

    Not necessarily just deja vous - but something inexplicable that you just couldn't explain logically. A freak incident that defied all odds and left you wondering if there wasn't some sort of higher intervention (fate/destiny, etc.).

    Happened to me a thousand times... and I am glad there is a reasonable explanation to it...

        anything with a probability greater than zero is possible, however improbable.

        anything with a probability of occurence greater than zero will happen in a long enough time span

          Its always explainable. Maybe just not by you.

          And look at it this way, something just didnt happen for 20 years. Its not like it just suddenly happened, its more like it never happened before...know what i mean? Its more likely that it will happen at one point. Hmm..i cant be bothered to exactly type out what i mean.

            A few weeks ago I had one of those days where I heard a rather uncommon word I'd never heard before (forget now what it was) - and then throughout the course of the day I heard the same word used 4 times by various people.

            Just struck me as very odd and peculiar that day.

                  Yup i had the same thing. An english word i would swear i never heard before and that day and the next day i heard it like 20 times.

                  Anyway, still explainable. But funny.

                      WTF - exact same thing happens to me. Whenever I hear an unfamiliar word, I look it up in a dictionary and learn it. However, when done that, I seem to hear it every day...

                        Every now and then I'll visit a place I've never been to, and suddenly it feels like "something hits me like a wall mentally" causing me to pause, with a very strong feeling that I've been there before when I'm sure I haven't.

                        Another thing that happens to me from time to time is a "strong feeling" that something is "wrong" at a place from my past - usually back home in NJ, where I haven't been in years. Suddenly the place in question comes back to mind in a forcefull way, although I'm unable to figure out why or what's happening.

                        Very odd.

                          Now that I think about it, yesterday chatting on ICQ I used a word I had never used before. Usually I look up such words on dictionary.com, but this time I didn't. Later on in the day I was reading a book when that same word came up. It was "trough", being defined as something animals (horses?) usually drink or eat out of. Not a common word, but it stuck out both times yesterday.

                            Another quirky thing recently - my wife and I each bought new Pontiac Pursuit cars. Hers is an '06 model and mine an '05. They're both identical except for the color and transmission (she got auto...I bought a manual).

                            Lately we've been hearing a bizarre knocking sound in both cars, coming from the rear of the vehicles. The knock is identical to someone rapping on a door 4 times, as if someone had approached the vehicle from behind and knocked lightly on the trunk lid.

                            We're quite convinced its not someone trapped in the trunk, either. - we'd have smelled that after awhile I think.

                            No shit. I've heard it twice in my car, she's heard it a few times in her car...and we've both heard it together in her car.

                            At first I thought perhaps it was some sort of built-in warning sound or something that came through on the sound system. But I've heard it when the stereo was off. And its not a mechanical knock...at least none that I've ever heard in all my years of owning and driving vehicles. Its always four low knocks.

                            I'm sure there's an explanation somewhere. But it still has me baffled at this point.

                                  Just regular unleaded - same as we've always used for all our vehicles.

                                  But the sounds are definitely coming from the rear of the cars, not the engine.

                                  I called the dealership we got'em from and explained the noise - just to ask if they'd received similiar reports from other Pursuit owners. But it was news to the service manager.

                                  Mine goes in for its first 5000km oil change shortly, so I'll mention it to the mechanics again and see if they can run some sort of diagnostics.

                                      Don't laugh, the girl I first spoke to on the phone suggested the car was maybe haunted, heh.

                                          Ghm, I think everything what happens in our minds can be explained, but some stuff requires so much resources to understand that we just call that MAGIC.

                                              I do not believe that this qualifies as magic. Precognition is well know and even fostered in certain shaman circles, and some people would tell you that they have an unnaturally good intuition and won't be lying.

                                              One of the more interesting pseudoscientific explanations in the chaote community is that we do not relive a moment that we've already been to but rather when we experience the moment for the first time out of our normal life flow (daydreaming, losing concentration, getting stoned, having an orgasm - this is what the magic operators call gnosis) the experience is so intense that we in fact create this future to be experienced in the "physical" reality. So whenever you have a deja vu, it is said, you are merely reliving the future that you have created the last time and experienced in your mind.

                                                          Another quirky thing recently - my wife and I each bought new Pontiac Pursuit cars. Hers is an '06 model and mine an '05. They're both identical except for the color and transmission (she got auto...I bought a manual).

                                                          Lately we've been hearing a bizarre knocking sound in both cars, coming from the rear of the vehicles. The knock is identical to someone rapping on a door 4 times, as if someone had approached the vehicle from behind and knocked lightly on the trunk lid.

                                                          We're quite convinced its not someone trapped in the trunk, either. - we'd have smelled that after awhile I think.

                                                          No shit. I've heard it twice in my car, she's heard it a few times in her car...and we've both heard it together in her car.

                                                          At first I thought perhaps it was some sort of built-in warning sound or something that came through on the sound system. But I've heard it when the stereo was off. And its not a mechanical knock...at least none that I've ever heard in all my years of owning and driving vehicles. Its always four low knocks.

                                                          I'm sure there's an explanation somewhere. But it still has me baffled at this point.
