In this episode, I talk with pioneering psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Beitman to explore his powerful new book Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Journey of Coincidence and Serendipity. Together, we dive into the mysterious territory where chance meets meaning, and where the fabric of reality seems to momentarily rearrange itself to deliver meaningful messages.Dr. Beitman shares deeply personal stories of uncanny coincidences that shaped his life, from football field premonitions in Delaware to mind-expanding moments in 1960s Haight-Ashbury. We talk about his time in San Francisco during a cultural revolution, how psychedelic experiences opened his perception, and how those early glimpses of connection and mystery evolved into a lifelong exploration of synchronicity.We also explore the Mandela Effect, and consider whether these might represent a kind of collective synchronicity… or something even stranger. Is reality shifting beneath our feet, or are we catching glimpses of a deeper, interconnected consciousness at work?Synchronicity, serendipity, purpose, and the invisible threads that shape a life, and more!An incredible episode..

What do psychedelic visions and biblical prophecy have in common? In this 400th episode of Connecting with Coincidence, psychiatrist Bernard Beitman sits down with Rick Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, to explore how altered states of consciousness might connect with ancient spiritual traditions.Order Dr. Beitman's newest book "Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Coincidences and Serendipities" at Simon & Schuster, Barnes and Noble, Inner Traditions, Amazon, Books-a-Million, Bookshop.org (May 2025).Both trained psychiatrists with Jewish backgrounds, Beitman and Strassman reflect on shared experiences—from early psychedelic encounters to a lifelong interest in the edges of consciousness. Strassman discusses his return to the Hebrew Bible after decades of Zen practice, offering a new lens on DMT experiences as potentially prophetic rather than purely mystical or hallucinatory.The two explore entity encounters, the psychosphere, and how meaning can emerge through synchronicities and personal interpretation. Whether or not you believe in otherworldly beings, this conversation offers thoughtful reflections on science, spirituality, and the unknown.Rick Strassman, MD performed the first new U.S. clinical research with psychedelic substances in decades. He is the author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, DMT and the Soul of Prophecy, The Psychedelic Handbook, and My Altered States. His work bridges psychiatry, neuroscience, and spiritual inquiry.

You have free will. You have no choice. What sounds like a paradox is actually a gateway to deeper understanding in this conversation between Dr. Bernard Beitman and physicist Samir Varma. Together, they explore how a deterministic universe still allows for genuine unpredictability—creating a space where consciousness and free will can thrive.Pre-order Dr. Beitman's newest book "Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Coincidences and Serendipities" at Simon & Schuster, Barnes and Noble, Inner Traditions, Amazon, Books-a-Million, Bookshop.org (May 2025).Samir Varma is a physicist, entrepreneur, and author with a PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Texas and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University. His career spans finance, technology, and scientific research, with multiple patents in fields ranging from advertising to medicine. Varma manages two investment funds utilizing proprietary algorithms and has spent years exploring the intersection of physics, computation, and consciousness. In his book "The Science of Free Will," he presents a groundbreaking framework showing how deterministic physics creates unpredictability and practical free will. His work bridges fundamental science with everyday human experience through an accessible, thought-provoking lens. www.samirvarma.com https://vsasset.com/publications/ The two dive into the role of attention, the nature of meaningful coincidences, and how AI mirrors our own limitations and potential. Coincidences only become significant when you bring your perspective to them. No one else is going to tell you what it means. You are the final decider.

In this week's episode I continue to talk about my trip to Amsterdam and the coincidences that occurred while I was there (or as I mentioned last week, what Dr. Wayne Dyer described as things that fit together perfectly—not accidentally).Especially these days, for my own wellbeing, I tend not to delve too much into politics. However, while in The Netherlands, a number of “coincidences” occurred that led me to consider more deeply all that is going on in the U.S. and what I can do to stand up for what's right. By now you know that I frequently talk about what I've been learning in Happiness School. This week is no exception. My Happiness School assignments leading up to my visit to Amsterdam played a prominent role in the revelations I came away with about leadership, psychology and, if we're not careful, how easy it can be to submit to authority even in the face of what you know to be right. Click the links below, if you'd like to learn more about the two experiments I talk about in this episode:The Stanley Milgram Obedience to Authority Experiment (Yale University)The Zimbardo Prison Experiment (Stanford University)ECONOMIC RESISTANCE: One source for learning about upcoming economic blackout dates is ThePeoplesUnionUsa.com.You can follow me on Instagram at: ⁠⁠⁠@karen.e.osborne⁠⁠⁠Click on this link to join Club Sandwich (the LITSZ Private Facebook Group): ⁠⁠⁠LITSZ_Club_Sandwich 

What happens when we step outside the boundaries of the physical world?Psychiatrist Bernard Beitman and neuroscientist Marina Weiler dive deep into the mysteries of out-of-body experiences (OBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs), astral encounters, and the possibility of life beyond the body.Pre-order Dr. Beitman's newest book "Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Coincidences and Serendipities" at Simon & Schuster, Barnes and Noble, Inner Traditions, Amazon, Books-a-Million, Bookshop.org (May 2025).Marina shares her personal brushes with the paranormal—including poltergeist-like events and vivid dreams of the departed—even though she has never had an OBE herself. Bernard recounts his own surreal journey to the "coincidence control office" during an out-of-body episode. Together, they explore how these extraordinary events can transform our perspectives, reduce fear of death, and inspire profound life changes.Can we meet others—or even non-human entities—while traveling the astral plane? Is consciousness truly separate from the brain? Join this fascinating conversation as science and the mystical collide, and discover how synchronicity, intention, and expanded awareness can reshape our understanding of reality.Marina Weiler is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), University of Virginia. A trained neuroscientist with expertise in neuroimaging, brain stimulation, and consciousness studies, she investigates experiences that transcend traditional physical explanation. Her research has earned recognition from CAPES (Brazil), the Brazilian Academy of Neurology, the NIH, the Templeton World Charity Foundation, and the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Research.

Send us a text"I was lucky to have had a magical childhood. I was born in Dearborn, Michigan, where my father worked for the Ford Motor company. He had immigrated alone from Greece in 1909 when he was fifteen, and it wasn't until forty-two years later that he returned to the “old country” and married my mother. We had no relatives here. Being aware that my parents were of a different culture and a generation older than my friends' parents, allowed me to accept their eccentricities and foster my independence. When I was seven, my father retired and we moved to Greece, where instantly I had a boisterous extended family. However, Greece's geographic vulnerability to Russia during the Cuban missile crisis scared him into moving us back to the States. We ended up in Portland, Oregon, where my father bought a house near the Greek Orthodox church which, aside from her family, became the center of my mother's life. She had indoctrinated me from birth that little baby Jesus and the little Virgin Mary were my friends whom I could ask for anything I wanted.It wasn't until I was nineteen that I began paying attention to coincidences, many of which resulted in my receiving exactly what I needed at just the right time. I found that the more my awareness was elevated, the sharper my intuition became, and the more I trusted it for guidance. This cultivated inner voice has enabled me to recognize coincidences as divine communication and to encounter miracles."www.SophiaDemas.comResources:www.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comgnostictv.com/programs/claudiu-murganhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

D(a)emons & Coincidences!

In the first half, attorney and digital privacy advocate Heidi Boghosian discussed the need for digital preparedness in today's world of rapidly evolving technology. She introduced the concept of a "digital go kit"—a set of backup tools that safeguard essential digital resources during emergencies.Boghosian claimed that many Americans are ill-prepared for such situations, stating, "Most people haven't done this... maybe your listeners are in the savvy category, but I read that something like 33% of our nation has traditional [non-digital] go bags."She stressed how important it is to have backup documents, especially in light of recent natural disasters. "Make copies, scan copies of your passport, your driver's license… and put those on a USB drive." Her recommended kit also includes cloud-based technologies, such as password managers.Boghosian then explained the alarming rate of data breaches affecting both individuals and organizations. "If you live in the modern world… your data is going to be compromised eventually," she warned. "I think you should always have healthy skepticism about everything that comes into your inbox."Referencing the rise of phishing attempts, she emphasized, "Never open any email with an attachment if you do not know the sender." She also lamented the impacts of identity theft, remarking, "It's life-changing—it upends your life."According to Boghosian, older adults are particularly vulnerable. She noted that lonely individuals may be more trusting of online interactions, but cautioned that a trusting nature should not come at the expense of personal safety.------------------In the second half, magician, paranormal consultant, and UFO investigator Brandon Scott explored the concept of synchronicity and its implications in daily life.Scott, who has a rich background in magic and has performed globally, is an expert in blending the realms of illusion and the paranormal. Synchronicity is critical to his craft, and he defined it as significant coincidences that align with one's inner thoughts and experiences. "For me, it's when two or more events coincide in a way that feels significant," he stated. "Carl Jung, who coined the term, described synchronicity as a causal connection principle that reflects the interplay between the inner world and the outer world."Scott suggested that synchronicities could be tied to the law of attraction, and that individuals unconsciously broadcast their thoughts to attract corresponding experiences. "I think of someone, somebody thinks of you, and they call," Scott explained.He also conducted a synchronicity experiment among listeners. Participants performed a card exercise that involved spelling their names, with the expectation that many would end up with the same card—the ace of hearts.

Pier Paolo de Angelis is a true citizen of the world. Paolo started exploring the world in his early 20s, working in Europe, The Middle East, North and South America.While serving as Chairman of the now iconic Kripalu Center in Lenox MA in the mid 90s, Paolo led the transition team that transformed the former ashram into the largest Yoga and Wellness program centre in North America. After he moved to Hawaii, Paolo ended up partnering with Amara to help develop The Path of Azul, a conscious movement practice as a path of personal transformation.

In this week's show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.  After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life's work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2. In this show, a part 2 to last week's episode on fate and destiny, Mike and Lian explore the deep mystery of synchronicity—how meaningful coincidences shape our spiritual journeys and reveal hidden connections between the seen and unseen realms. Together, they trace the threads of psychological time, archetypal resonance, and the transformative potential of recognising synchronicity as a guiding force in our lives. Drawing from Jungian psychology, Kabbalistic teachings, and mythopoetic wisdom, they uncover how synchronicity isn't mere coincidence but an intricate dialogue between our inner and outer worlds. Jung described synchronicity as an acausal connection between events that hold personal meaning, bridging the gap between the material and metaphysical realms. They discuss how we can cultivate awareness of these signs, interpret them in service of our spiritual path, and discern their deeper meaning without falling into superstition or over-interpretation. Throughout this rich and soulful discussion, Lian and Mike invite listeners to consider the ways synchronicity can awaken them to their own mythic journey. How can we sharpen our perception to notice synchronicities when they arise? What role does psychological time play in these moments? And how can recognising the larger archetypal patterns help us live a more meaningful life? Join them on this journey into the heart of synchronicity, where myth meets reality, and where the unseen forces of life conspire to lead us toward wholeness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Synchronicity as a Mirror of the Soul: Jung described synchronicity as an event that has no apparent causal connection yet holds profound personal meaning. These moments reveal the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, guiding us toward greater self-awareness and spiritual insight. Cultivating Synchronicity in Daily Life: Developing presence and intuitive awareness allows us to notice synchronicities as they unfold and integrate their wisdom into our path. Rather than dismissing them as coincidences, we can recognise them as invitations from the unseen to deepen our engagement with life. The Mythic Thread of Synchronicity: Synchronicities often link to archetypal stories and patterns, offering a bridge between personal experiences and the deeper currents of collective meaning. Understanding these patterns can help us see our own lives as part of a greater mythic unfolding.

Shiur given by Rabbi Benzion Brodie on Parsha to Yeshiva Ketana. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

Will Doug win the game... Matt is disgusting and lucky to have a wife... Doug segment shames Matt... Matt is old... Doug is a hypocrite... The boys honor the passing of a legend...multiple times... Idiom corrections... Distrust of the legal system... Coincidences... All this as Matt and Doug take the witness stand and promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even if it is disgusting...

Coincidences may seem like random occurrences to many of us – but not to a mathematician. Sarah Hart is professor of geometry at Gresham College and professor emerita of mathematics at Birkbeck, University of London. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we so often look for coincidences in our lives — and why that's a mathematically futile endeavor — why the blind luck behind lottery wins might not be so blind after all, and why revealing this magic with numbers makes the phenomenon all the more interesting. Her article, “The surprising maths that explains why coincidences are so common,” was published in New Scientist.

Less than three years before Mica Francis' body was found in a North Carolina swamp after her alleged suicide, there was another strange death near Solid Rock at Market Common, the Myrtle Beach church that belonged to Mica's husband Pastor JP Miller. That's the death of Chris Skinner, the 41-year-old quadriplegic man who was married to the woman JP was allegedly having an affair with at the time — the same woman JP has routinely been photographed with since Mica's death in April. Chris was found in his wheelchair at the bottom of his neighborhood pool. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at Chris' inspiring story of determination and hope — at who he was BEFORE he entered into JP's ecosystem in 2018. They also take a deeper look into his death, the ensuing investigation and the strange coincidences and inconsistencies that exist between his and Mica's cases.  Was Chris at the pool this morning because he was meeting someone to play chess? Or did he go there because he had lost hope? Chris' wife Suzie told police that he wasn't suicidal and she later referred to his death as having been a result of getting too close to the edge of the pool. But that's not what surveillance footage shows. And what role did JP's alleged relationship with Suzie play in Chris' death and Mica's desire to divorce JP?  JP and Suzie have reportedly denied having an affair. And JP has denied any and all allegations related to Mica's death and her allegations of coercive control abuse during their marriage.  Also on the show, alleged Alex Murdaugh co-conspirator Russell Laffitte is out of prison and home for the holidays and what will it take for courts to take women seriously when they ask for restraining orders against the men they fear?
