Jack Canfield and Brian Tracy are both of the view that both effects take place. In other words, if you start thinking about blue sports cars
(1) you become more likely to notice blue sports cars and things related to blue sports cars; AND
(2) more blue sports cars (and related things) will start appearing in your life.
Based on my limited experience, passive meditation tends to make Effect (1) happen. Dynamic meditation tends to make Effect (2) happen.
In another important sense, however, there is no real difference between Effects (1) and (2). If a thing appears in your life and you do not notice it, then it effectively is not there.
If you want a more surprising example of synchronicity, you can click on my Wikipedia link and read the plum pudding story.
