INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE: YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT !!
Michael Shermer stated, "...We form our beliefs for a
variety of subjective, personal, emotional, and psychological reasons in the
context of environments created by family, friends, colleagues, culture, and
society at large; after forming our beliefs we then defend, justify, and
rationalize them with a host of intellectual reasons, cogent arguments, and
rational explanations. Beliefs come first, explanations for beliefs
follow..."(The Believing Brain).
This defines two patterns of human behavior, when
individuals are engaged in the social macro and natural environment.
Patternicity is defined as: finding meaningful patterns in both meaningful and
meaningless data. Agenticity: infusing patterns with meaning, intention, and
agency.
For me things get even more interesting when one considered
Synchronicity. Synchronicity as described by Carl Jung is, "acausal
connection of two or more psycho-physic phenomena.."(carl-jung.net). whereas
coincidences are mere collations of interactions, accident or deliberate
intention: Synchronicity is the sub-conscious and conscious mind, toggling
meaningful patterns of the living experience. If one is able to focus and
retain these toggled patterns in a timely manner, they can predict (by simple
explanation of the events as they occur) future outcomes or future events.
Example is "Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson was written in
1898, and 14 years before the Titanic sank in 1912.
