This is really weird. I have a lot of syncronistic coincidenses that occur quite regularly. I have posted about this before.
In another forum, I made some whimsical joke reply to someone elses post about Martin Luther and his 95 thesis. I said something to the effect that a guy by the name of St. Francis beat out Guttenberg and his printing press, to the punch, and he became known as St. Francis of a theses.:D
I posted this a few days ago. Well, in our Saturday paper's religious section they have a big write up on Luther, and the movie coming out called "Luther". In the article, they go on to say this:
"When brother Johann Tetzel marketed indulgences to the poor in Luther's backyard, it inspired him (Luther) to pen his 95 theses to protest the practice. The new Guttenberg printing press reproduced his writing, and soon his critism of the church was read throughout Europe, angering the pope."
O.k., first of all we have the article about Luther. Then, about the 95 theses. And, the kicker is that they mentioned Guttenberg and his new press. When I made my whimsical joke, I just guessed that the Guttenberg press was in this approximate same era. And, I don't even know why that all came together in my head, off the cuff, to make the whimsical reply that I did. I have only read about Guttenberg back in high school over 30 years ago, and have not read or heard much of this mentioned since, that I can ever recall. It just popped into my head, out of the blue.
Could it possibly be that this information was in cyberspace, if you will, and I tapped into this? Sort of like cyberspace is where all information and knowledge lurks...and sometimes we can all tap into this, as if we are two-legged receivers?
I'm sure a lot of you have seen tv shows and/or read how scientists are mystified how the pyramids came into being, on different continents, at about the same time- period.
Or, we have heard stories of invention where supposedly two people on two seperate continents were working on the same idea, without the others knowledge. In an invention and technologies magazine I have, there is a big write up about the Wright Brothers. Various other plane pioneers were working on the same concepts in Europe at about the same time. I have heard accounts were some have said that some of these pioneers thought they were the only ones working on this. There are many such stories as this, to this day.
*I* have 'invented' some recently invented item...on more than one occation. As it turns out, that item was already invented, recently, by somebody else...and I never heard of it. And I remember telling others how odd this is, especially if you consider that the invention had the technologies available to spawn the invention decades earlier. What made the inventor AND myself conceive the same idea at near the same time, in history?
There are many of us, including on this board, who have not ruled out a 'god presense', I will call it. This 'god' could be some type of unexplained 'force' rather than this personified being that is attypical of religious dogma. This energy force MAY be something such as....an all knowledge in cyber/space for which all information and knowledge is made up of. Then, it becomes manifest somehow. Man could be a tool of this manifestation?
Pretty 'heavy' thinking and pondering is needed. To me, this ranks right up there with considerations given to the universe manifesting itself out of a pure vaxcuum.
