I think with cylon's plans to move that there is no "SUPPOSED to" in life at all. Like pre-destiny or anything. I believe that any random minor or major choice has the pure potentiality to lead you to extreme happiness or extreme misery based on, of course, your next choice(s) once you get there. I don't think the "universe" works that way, insofar as being "meant" to do anything is concerned.

I think many of these types of things are easily explained by the RAS, reticular activating system. Especially like when you buy a new car and then notice cars like yours everywhere you go. Or even the thoughts of moving to a new place and then seeing or noticing mention of that place everywhere. I wouldn't even begin to apply any mysterious cause/effect to things like that. That is just part of how our brains work.

But the RAS doesn't fully explain the Michigan thing or the ponytail plant thing or me seeing the word in text, or an entire phrase, as the man is saying it on TV. These little things sometimes happen when I am "in the zone" so often, that my easygoing nature starts to assume they are a normal part of life, like sun setting, birds chirping. Almost unremarkable. But they are really kind of remarkable. Or just a grand series of coincidences.

At the very least, I use them as a signal to refocus myself and tune my awareness to possible pertinent synchronocities I may be missing. I also tend to make appointments with myself to meditate that day. Maybe they are like the flag on a mailbox letting your brain/antennae know that there is a message waiting for you.
