The Synchronicity Exploring Coincidence, the Paranormal & Alien EncountersOnce you’re on the synchronicity highway, you’re traveling through a realm that often seems as magical and strange as Alice’s Wonderland. You feel connected to something larger than yourself and your immediate world. Your perceptions change, you see and experience yourself and life differently. You become immersed in a mystery that often defies reason and logic. Your worldview can be turned inside out like a dirty sock. On the synchronicity highway, meaningful coincidence is your guidance system. It lies in your awareness, curiosity, feelings, intentions, and beliefs. It lies within. Once you trust that inner guidance, synchronicities seem to pop up everywhere. They occur in travel and creative endeavors, in social movements and popular culture, and they sometimes proliferate during and after UFO encounters. When our lives are in transition and during intensely emotional periods, synchronicity is usually right there with us.Following the lead of Carl Jung, who coined the term synchronicity, we see paranormal phenomena fitting under the umbrella of synchronicity. That’s because telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis all take place outside of cause and effect – the way things happen in the everyday world.Topics happens on the synchronicity highway?Is telepathy really possible?Can we see the future?Is it possible to see what’s taking place elsewhere?Is the mind powerful enough to move objects?How does synchronicity come into play in alien encounters?What’s the connection between aliens and the dead?Joe McMoneagle and remote viewing MarsWhen unseen entities played havoc on our interview on Unknown Country ABOUT THE MacGregor is an Edgar-winning author, who has been on the New York Times bestseller list.

I always like to preface any reviews I give with this information. I am a 68 year old female who has been an avid reader since I was around 10 or 11 years old. I read primarily for pleasure. I have a great many interests and do a lot of research for personal pleasure and knowledge as well. Ancient History, Archeology, Science, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery are some of the interests I have.

What can I say about this book/audiobook? First of all if you have read this, you know about the "11:11" thing right? Yeah, does it pop up a lot in your life? Do you see it constantly? The reason I asked is because I have always been aware of that grouping of numbers throughout my life. I didn't realize until I got my Birth Certificate from my mom years ago, that I was born at 11:11 pm. I think I am the only person I know of who was born at this specific time. It has only been in the last 30 years that I have been so much more consciously aware of how often I see it. Many times when I look at my watch it is that time. At least 10 times a week. I notice it in T V shows if the clock is on that time. I notice it in addresses as well. I would say I have a "hyper-awareness" of this grouping of numbers.
So this book is right up my alley. I will step out into the "woo-woo" zone because I know what kinds of experiences I have had in my life. I don't really care if anyone believes what I say or not. That happens when you live it.
No I have never seen a UFO, or an alien from another dimension, but I have had repeated times of precognition in my life. I have touched letters I have received in the mail and known before I opened the letter that someone had died. I have experienced an "otherness" for lack of a better word, an "entity" in a room where 4 other people besides myself were, and only one other person was aware that there was something else there besides those of us who were alive and present. I can't explain it to this day. I have known things in advance and been able to tell when someone was going to visit, with no prior knowledge that they were going to do so.
I have had "feelings" that I should postpone trips, or take a different route than normal, in my life, and I have heeded those feelings. I have had out of body experiences several times in my life. I used to have dreams as a child that came true later in my life.
I have started singing a song and turned on the radio, only to have that song playing, or start to play. I have been thinking of people and had my phone ring and it was that very person I was thinking of. It happened just last week!
These incidents are very common in my life and my daughter, my sister, to some degree; my mom had those abilities as well.
This book is a compilation of many types of experiences that are beyond what a lot of people have never experienced.
For myself, having had odd experiences as a young person, it set me on a path to try to find out what these experiences were, and what caused them.
It has made me a seeker of knowledge and also given me the ability to be open to the possibility that there are things beyond our sight as mortal beings.
This book was extremely interesting to me and it is one that I will listen to again. There was nothing in this book that I hadn't heard of, or read of before now. It is convenient to have all this research in one volume to go through.
The Authors Trish MacGregor and Rob MacGregor had to have put in a phenomenal amount of time to compile all this research on so many areas that while considered "fringe" areas by conventional science, those of us who have experienced some of these in our lives have the benefit that those learned scientists still lack.
Narrator Kevin Pierce is a voice actor I was not familiar with until listening to this audiobook. This audiobook is more in the line of being a documentary kind of audiobook, rather than being a "novel" where a voice actor utilizes their voice to act different genders and roles. It was enjoyable listening to his narration of this audiobook.
He has a very large body of work listed at Audible and I hope to listen to more of his audiobooks.
As to who would enjoy this book/audiobook, it would depend I believe, on the reader/listener's mindset. I have always believed there is so much more that we don't know, than we do. If you have that kind of open mind, I believe this book/audiobook will be of interest to you.
I almost want to give this book 5 stars because in many ways it was truly "amazing", but parts of me want to only give it 3 stars because in parts I wasn't convinced and it seemed like they might be padding it out a bit.
The couple who wrote this book did a good job and compiled some fantastic stories, but I found that some of their OWN stories were a bit hit and miss, and perhaps a bit of a reach (e.g. in the part about animal synchronicities where a swallow swerving in the sky above a motorway somehow symbolises them doing a u-turn...or something...and something about an infestation of mice in the kitchen...whatever). Many of the stories of synchronicity and coincidence were mind-blowing and often freaked me out, like the doppelgangers and people with the same name who had almost identical lives but weren't related. Some of the things mentioned have happened to me.
Synchronicity definitely led me to this book and while reading it I have been experiencing more synchronicities (time prompts, coincidences and so on). They mentioned Joe McMoneagle, who I hadn't heard of until last week but have already mentioned in two other reviews, COINCIDENTALLY, and in fact just bought one of his books before buying this one! They talked about many different things that I have been thinking about this year in fact.
The book also touches on other paranormal things (such as psychic mediums, near death experiences, out of body experiences) and relates them to synchronicity, and then the whole Part 3 of the book is about alien abductions and how people apparently experience more synchronicity after being abducted. I would happily have skipped that whole bit as I'm not really into aliens.
I chose this book as my monthly audible download, and the narrator was a bit slow (but sounded normal on 1.5 speed). I'm surprised more people haven't read or reviewed this book, even on Amazon. It may have something to do with the price, but actually it's quite reasonable on Kindle.
