синхроничность (синхронистичность)/ synchroniсity

[eg_or]

Few days ago we were discussing "synchroniсity"* topic.
And L. was very doubtful that such thing as "synchronicity" exists or could be proved that it exists.

So, now - I need your imput:

Please, try to recall if you personally ever experienced synchroniсity.
     If you do - please let me know and send a description!

PS. Also if in

Personal view on sychronicity?
I believe it exists, and I believe that belief is a choice. So - I choose to believe it exists because the numerous examples of it in my life, where I have acted as though it were synchronicity, have made my life immeasureably richer.
(Examples include thinking of someone and them calling me, being on this train (www.impassionata.com - top post for the latest example), this entire Zen path I'm on is because two people in two conversations in different contexts mentioned I should see the same person on the same day - so I decided to pay attention. When I look back on the paths of my life, and the turns it has taken because I believe and treat incidences of synchronicity as synchronicity, it has been a major part of my existence being this rich, joyous, full, painful, intense life. :)

Do I actually care whether it objectively exists? Not really. :) I don't think it can every be /proven/, but I'm not sure that's relevant (at least, not to me).

Thank you, for your insightful post!

Personally I also do not care much if I could prove or not, that... lets say that I objectively own a Mercedes. And does the car exists at all.
For me it is enough that I can use it to go to office and back everyday.
And if I or smbd else can not prove that it exists - its ok. And probably would be better off with local tax authorities ;-)

I do often have a feeling of being "guided" by small sparks of synchronicity.

I definitely have that feeling of "guided" - which amuses me since I also suspect I'm prone to over-seeing it. On the other hand - I also believe very deeply in my own intuition which I'm not sure is that different.
