Do you believe in telepathy? How about being on the same “wavelength” with someone? What about intuition?

I do believe we are all connected somehow in this vast energy field that is Earth, and possibly the Universe. How else to explain the following:

Last night as I drove home from the office, I started thinking about a high-school friend I haven’t seen or heard from in more than three decades. I wondered if she was alive or dead, and then I speculated she probably moved out of the province, to somewhere like B.C.

Cue the Twilight Zone theme song . . .

This morning when I opened my office email account, there was an email waiting for me sent by her last night with the subject line “Old friend?”. And she has moved to B.C.

When I told her by email I had been thinking about her last night, she responded: “We must have been on the same wavelength. I thought of you and tried to google your name …”

Coincidence? No freakin’ way! But who thought of whom first last night? (I dunno)

This is not the first time something like this has happened to me, and I am sure things like that happen to everyone — such as when you are thinking of someone and they phone you out of the blue minutes later.

But I’ve had far more serious cases of intuitive experiences, like the day I had a terrible feeling my boss was about to die, and he had a heart attack the following day and died on the bus. I don’t consider it a gift to gain that sort of insight — yes, it has happened before with other people.

None of this is coincidence, in my opinion. We are all manifestations of One universal energy, call it what you may, so it is no surprise that we are all linked and can feel each other’s sorrow and happiness — when we tune in, whether by chance or by design. As for seeing the future, such as seeing someone’s impending death, time is considered to be an illusion by many . . .
