One of our local TV channels has just screened the first episode of a brand new U.S. television programme called 'Touch.'  It's based on the premise that on some level we are all psychically connected, and consequently that all coincidences have meaning. 

Or, as one reviewer put it, that we humans are more connected than we could ever imagine.  And I think we all want to know more about this connection.  After all, all life has consciousness, and from that we can presume that all life wishes to evolve and change for the better.  And this evolution would start by an individual becoming more sensitive to the energies going on all around us.

I've long believed that all our lives do intersect in some way, and that everything happens for a reason, even if that reason is not readily discernable, so, although I enjoyed the first programme very much, I was also very intrigued by this television programme's proposition.  

I see where the programme has been favourably received by the public, so I hope it will continue, and that it will offer future episodes as good as the first one.  

Any thoughts, people?

There could be something to that. There is an electric current that causes a heart beat. Where does it comefrom?

It makes sense.

The real problem with humanity, I think, is our sense of dis-connect. In other words, we tend to think, and act, as if the world ends at our doorstep.

We obsess over the symptoms of this problem (war, crime, poverty, injustice, environmental degredation and so on and on)... but fail to see the problem. 

Until we can acknowledge that fundamental "connect," as essentially one human family -- then our "problems" (which are really just symptoms of the actual problem) won't be solved.

Templar -

Unlike (I think, but I may be wrong) most atheists, who believe there is nothing more to the universe outside of what we see here, I do believe that there is some sort of universal order to things, and that our problem as humans is that we don't see it.

I tend to think of it in this way:  If humans were radios, most of us would be perpetually hearing static because we aren't tuned to the right channel.

Some of us are tuned to the 'right' channel, if I may put it that way, and do 'receive' what might be thought of as information.  The boy in the television programme, who reminds me of Rain Man, does seem to be tuned in.

And people like psychics and true mediums seem to be tuned in as well.

Maybe when we're dreaming we're picking up messages from other levels of consciousness.

Maybe coincidences really do have meanings that we aren't able to sort out.

The reason I discount religion in these sorts of discussions is simply because religions have such rigid rules about what to think and what not to think, mixing up sexuality with morality, for instance, and telling people not to ask questions about things they don't understand.

I like to be free to question anything and everything, looking for answers, and not be hindered by being told that some outcome was god's will, or that the ways of god are too mysterious for us to understand.
