Coincidence	Layla	Thursday, April 17, 2008
Question: Dear Brother, I have written previously about my mother who is mentally ill and who is/was involved extremely heavily into the occult. She has been homeless for several years, and sometimes I see her around town, by accident. My question is this: Often before I see or meet her accidentally I will be thinking about her several days before. Yesterday I was talking about her with a family member (the first time we've discussed this in a long time) and today I saw my mom by "chance". I was wondering if this could be more than coincidence,because often it happens that I meet or see her after I've been thinking about her. Thank you and God bless.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Layla: That is coincidence. There is a name for this sort of coincidence but I cannot remember what it is. It is a perceptual thing. Anyway, it is just coincidence. If you were to keep a log of every time you thought of your mother you would probably find that many times you think of her, but do not see her soon after.

Question:

Dear Brother,
I have written previously about my mother who is mentally ill and who is/was involved extremely heavily into the occult. She has been homeless for several years, and sometimes I see her around town, by accident.

My question is this: Often before I see or meet her accidentally I will be thinking about her several days before.

Yesterday I was talking about her with a family member (the first time we've discussed this in a long time) and today I saw my mom by "chance". I was wondering if this could be more than coincidence,because often it happens that I meet or see her after I've been thinking about her.

Thank you and God bless.
