In my state of epiphany what Jung called synchronicity, was not singular or rare but constant, over and over again and all the time, normally called coincidence. This was correlations between thought, word and deed proceeding actual circumstance. It took many forms, but for instance one might have been walking down the street and think, what was the name of that guy I met last week ? Walk around the corner and there is a sign with his name on it. So then the question is how does one interpret these kinds of correlations ? I used it to make believe I could make things happen.

The evidence for belief was correlations. Making believe that I made things happen gave consequence to the what was otherwise ordinary and which otherwise became significant. If I was great, everything I would associate myself must also be great. If I made things happen those things could also be important. By the same token consequence made reality more real. Ordinary reality as significant signage became extraordinary. The microcosm affected the macrocosm. Everything became important. The power of belief would affect my emotional make-up, the greater the belief the stronger the emotional expression. If consequence affects emotion, then the greater consequence, I applied to my own self-worth, to the world external to myself, and the extended world around the globe, the greater would be the emotional content.

I would garner an exaggerated sense of consequence. The purport of which plays on one's emotions. Everything takes on new significance and importance. Now you have to wear seat belts and protect yourself at all times. You are too important to take chances. Now you are somebody and compare yourself with many of the other somebodies. One is on equal footing with luminaries.
