Synchronicity, 42 and Owls?

Sarah Sentilles walking into #42 last
Thursday for her book talk

Last Thursday I attended a book talk by Sarah Sentilles at the above house at 42 Mollison Street at West End in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Sarah Sentilles 'Draw Your Weapons'

I really enjoyed this talk, but never would have wound up at this talk if it wasn't for a series of coincidences that seemed to come full circle on the night, a bit like those falling dominoes above.

I've noticed this about the phenomena of synchronicity before, that one coincidence leads to another and another and another, leading you to a path you never would have gone down on your own.

It all started when I saw this owl video below that Mike Clelland had posted at his 'Hidden Experience' blog, which I don't hang around that much anymore ... well until he posted the owl video anyway ... although I don't know why I bother, since getting a reply to my comments at Mike's blog site is like getting blood from stone.

"Synchronicity is the face of a deeper level of inter-connectivity" Tony Vigorito

Mike's comments in his blog post about the Phi looking object reminded me of Chris Mackey's sculpture at his practice in Geelong with Chris's practice also being at a #42 street number.

I then went to Chris Mackey's website and found he had posted a series of podcasts I had never listened to before.

In one of those podcasts Chris mentioned how Dr. Bernie Beitman had a radio show where Bernie claimed to have the only radio show in the world on synchronicity, so I thought I should e-mail Bernie and tell him about these podcasts of Chris's so he could have a chuckle, plus I thought Chris would make a good guest to have on Bernie's show.

Bernie e-mailed me back telling me that he had Chris booked for the 22nd of February, 2018.

Connecting with Coincidence Podcast #51: Chris Mackey - Synchronicity and Positive Mental Health

In that podcast Chris talks to Bernie about how his practice being at #42 he sees as a significant synchronicity to him.
While binge listening to Dr. Beitman's podcasts I came across one where he interviewed a guy who had written a book about synchronicity from my hometown of Brisbane, named Laurence Browne, who I hadn't heard of either.

Not just any old number take notice, but #42

Now, I had never heard of Sarah Sentilles or her book before seeing that there was a talk happening in a house that I was curious about having a look in.
It reminded me of the house out of the movie 'UP' -

What's Up at #42?
Had this talk been held at the Avid Reader bookstore I wouldn't have gone along, because it was the house I was interested in seeing, not so much the talk.
This house has always fascinated me, because the previous owners refused to sell to the developers who wanted to buy the house and knock it down.
So, the developers built around them.

42 Mollison Street

Kind of reminded me of the scene out of the movie 'Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy' where the main character is trying to save his house from demolition.

This house I wrote about a year ago when I heard in the news that it had been sold for $1,400,000 to someone who was going to turn the house over to art students -

Maybe I should grab
6 drinks before the talk?-)

Then again looking at that clock,
I'd better not:-)

Because the loo in the house
 seems so far away

Now, here is the kicker with all of these synchronicities.

Sarah hears an owl and writes
about it on page 42?!

You just couldn't make this stuff up if you tried, could you?
