There is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us merest accident, springs
from the deepest source of destiny - Friedrich Schiller (1759 - 1805)
How many times have you thought about someone, a friend or relative, maybe someone you haven't seen or spoken to for a while, then, out of the blue they phone you, or you bump into them in the street?
Coincidence or Synchronicity? A thought provoking experience involving seemingly random events... Inextricably Linked...
During this holiday I experienced what I believe to be pure SYNCHRONICITY (The culmination of a series of seemingly random events, which in my mind were inextricably linked). This was one of the most profound moments that I have ever experienced in my life. It was confirmation to my already inquisitive mind that the laws of synchronicity are active, and in full effect.
The story begins....
The day before we (my girlfriend and I) were due to leave for Egypt, i had driven to my sisters house to pick up some snorkeling equipment that she said we could borrow. ( My sister had stayed in this hotel a number of times and she had recommended it to us).
1 Whilst at my sister's house she offered me a book to read on holiday, " Here is a book to read on your hols, I can't really get into it, but I think you'll like it," she said, then handed me the DaVinci code. I had never heard of the Da Vinci code before, but after a quick glance, I looked forward to reading it.
2 "Oh, one more thing" my sister said. "Every Tuesday night they have a fresh fish evening at the Beach restaurant, it's fantastic. You get to choose your freshly caught fish from baskets overflowing with delicious sea food. Then watch it being cooked, and eat it under the moonlight whilst listening to a saxophonist. Don't miss that night."
Synchronicity had been set in motion.........

The hotel was beautiful. We had not seen one cloud in the sky since arriving in Sharm El Sheik. I was captivated by The Davinci Code, engrossed in the pages whilst baking under the intense rays of the Egyptian sun.
3 Our night in the fish restaurant had coincided with a Total Lunar Eclipse, and being into astronomy, i was naturally excited at the prospect. We spent the day sunbathing and snorkelling around the coral reef, looking forward to our evening when we would be eating freshly caught fish, listening to a saxophonist, and to top it all, witnessing a total lunar eclipse in Egypt at the foot of Mount Sinai......unaware of the synchronous events that were about to unfold...
Due to the absence of any visible menu or pricelist we ended up ordering enough fish to feed the proverbial five thousand. During the meal I had informed a few of the other diners who were sitting nearby of the impending, fully visible, Total Lunar Eclipse. Word spread around the restaurant and pretty soon everyone had re-positioned their chairs and were sat looking up into the Egyptian, nightime sky, towards the moon...
I wanted to capture the eclipse on film, my camera at the ready, i pointed it at the moon. I took two shots, as the first didn't look that good through the view finder. As I was taking the second shot I heard one of the few English diners in the restaurant shout....
"Four Five Four!"
It was as though the mute button had been pressed, all the other noise in the restaurant had ceased....
"What did he just say?" I asked my girlfriend, thinking it was quite unusual to shout out a three digit number in that manner..... Then it clicked, it was the date, the 4th of May 2004! (04/05/04).
Now, this could be a regional thing, but in all my life i have never heard anyone communicate a date in that way, it would be like saying today is " Nineteen Six Six. " People just don't say that!

I didn't think much more about it and diverted my attention to the viewfinder on m
y digital camera, where I began examining the second picture that I had taken of the moon at full eclipse(see image). A really strange circular orb had appeared on the picture. Flicking between the two shots which had been taken seconds apart I was mystified as the strange image had not been caught in the first picture. I am aware that orbs can be a number of things.

I thought this was pretty strange!
5 We made our way back to our apartment, had a couple of drinks and got ready for bed. Not long after, all of a sudden I got a chill right through my whole body. The look I had on my face prompted my girlfriend to say

"What, whats up?" she asked eagerly.
"That number...i'm sure, just wait there a moment" I replied, reaching for The DaVinci Code.
"What is it, what?" she asked again.
I opened the book at the turned corner of the page, where I had book-marked earlier that day. There it was, at the bottom of the page that I had read up to that day, page 163, the end of chapter 25 - The number - 4... 5... 4...
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" I said. We were both pretty shocked.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" I said. We were both pretty shocked.
A sub-plot to all this is that I'm interested in prophecy, and my girlfriend had, for a while, wanted me to watch the film Nostradamus. Now, over the previous two months we had been into every single video shop within a 25 mile radius of where we live, looking for this film, but with no success. The very next morning on the 5th of May 2004, as soon as I woke up I grabbed the remote control and flicked on the TV, there across the TV screen was the title NOSTRADAMUS.... just starting....
When i returned home i did some research on this number and on the eclipse with some amazing findings.....
454: What i discovered.........
4th May 2004; the Full Moon of Wesak, we experienced a very powerful Lunar Eclipse. This was the second year in a row that there had been a Lunar Eclipse on the Wesak Full Moon. This was incredibly powerful and extremely rare.
This day not only brings a powerful eclipse of the moon, it is the day of the Wesak festival, a day that honors the Buddha. It is said that on the days of the full moon in the month of Taurus, the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment, and made his final passage from the Earth. This day is a powerful reminder that we are on that same journey.
Fours and Fives and the Mayan calendar.
The height of The Great Pyramid in Giza is 454 feet, which is also the exact average height of all the land mass on earth.
The legal system of Egypt is based on English common law. The legislative branch is a bicameral system, which consists of the Peoples Assembly and the Advisory Council. The peoples Assembly consists of 454 seats (444 are elected by popular vote and 10 appointed by the president) for five-year terms.
The surface temperature of Venus is 454 deg C
After being knighted by his father Sir Lancelot, Galahad was led to his seat in Camelot on Whitsunday, 454 years after the death of Jesus
454 BC: The true date of the decree to restore and to build Jerusalem
Flood to birth of Abraham = 454 years
1 pound = 454 grams
The tetramorph alludes to the 5 th element or quintessence, the element beyond the visible four natural elements of earth, air, water, and fire, to the invisible ether of the alchemists. The psychological equivalent of the Tetramorph, the Quaternity is explored in the writings of the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung.
Are we about to raise our collective consciousness? From this, our 3D reality as we know it now, through the 4th Dimension which is time, and eventually passing into the 5th Dimension, beyond money and time. A place where fear based concepts are totally dissolved?
One of the many time cycles tracked within The Maya's highly complex calendarical system ends in the year 2012. The next few years will emphasize the importance of people understanding the process of controlling their thoughts, and putting together the shattered pieces of consciousness, so the planet can advance for the betterment of us all. The Mayan calendar, and what the Mayans knew through their calendar, is that synchronicity is the norm. Everything is in a state of synchronicity. Time is closing in on the culmination of events which I believe will catapult us forward into a new reality. Working together, Mother Earth and humanity will make this happen. It is a cosmic clock that does not stop ticking. We are now living in a time when humanity's true powers are surfacing. We are not here to follow the path that came before us, we are here to become it........
