Wanted to get some information from xxx person. So was thinking how to contact xxx. And interestingly, xxx was there in news, two days later. Then late night took a book and surprised to see a mention of xxx. Got a phone call in the next day morning wherein which also the person told about xxx. Weird..
Surprised on the occurrences..? Is the universe trying to convey something.. 😉
When something is there in our mind, it comes in front of us.
Like, now you thought about me, and I am here, making the connection.. 😉
Or a pregnant woman finds pregnant ladies everywhere around her.
Or when I bought a new car, I could see many people driving them all over the roads.
Are all these some pure coincidences..?. Or is it like, it was there before also. But our senses didn’t record it then. And now, there happened some causes to record it in our brain.
Our brain was looking for information connected to us. So we surround ourselves with information related to our thoughts. And we feel a natural increase in frequency of those occurrences. It is nothing but a selective attention, overlooking many other countless things that surround us. And this is “frequency illusion”.
I am quite sure many of you might have experienced this cognitive bias. If not, be ready to experience this brainy stimulation in the next few days.
Yes, it happens almost every time. A tiny thing which very irrelevant for me before and now has become important, can be easily found!
good to know this dear…have a nice day
Ohhh how nice it would be if I had to think about punching my manager on the face and I see him already crying in a corner hahahahha
Hahahahah 😀
Lol
lol I hope he rests in peace hehhe
He is always resting .. 🙂
hehehe
Yes it happens sometimes, what you think will definitely happen and you will be wondering what the hell, how all this has suddenly fallen in place. Great writing Akhila.
Thank you…if it happened or not, there is some cognitive bias
Yes of course there is where it happened or not. Great way of writing Akhila.
Oh yes! This happens quite often 🙂
Power of subconscious mind
Or is it the absent mindedness to oversee other factors
Yeah may be
exactly, like when i want something……..everybody else get it, except me…….so yeah, universe frquently flips me…. 🙂 🙂
Lol….funny
haha 😀
Hahahaha,I was wondering about it too.For me it happens like I had two words in mind and I was trying to craft a poem .Just few minutes later I saw the same two words in focus .It was one of recent experiences , it keep happening wd me all the time.
The perfect example ami…so you posted the two words..?
Not yet ,will do soon:)
Weird thing is that exactly two words combination 😀
So i am eager to know those words..may i or should i wait till you post it
Tame ,frame
Tame..frame…nothing coming to my mind..publush your poem soon…
Hahaha sure
Check out my new blog post ,it’s up and tell did I use the words well ??
Yes dear. Saw it now…commented
That’s new.Thanks for sharing.
New..is it..so now you can see the same happening all around
The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon – That is very heavy 😀
Ha ha..that’s why i told it’s a mouthful name
🙂
That does happen with all of us and some recognize it an other don’t. I also think that it like a law of attraction, we are living in high energetic world where our wishes and dreams conspire and bless us with what we want. We always attract ourselves to things which we want.
Ya..that’s the power of selective attention
It’s a wonderful post .
I wish we could train this selective cognitive capacity to overlook the negatives and attract towards the positives… can this be done ?
Can people be trained to do so??
ah.. i thought it’s a natural phenomenon.. well not sure if it can be trained.. try yourself
I will certainly try on my own first.. and I believe that if I could change myself then certainly the society will change on their own.. if energy individuals try to bring this change on their own instead of changing the society then the society would change out of its own.. 🙂 🙂
I liked your thoughts…you are absolutely right…
Thank you so much… but trust me I cannot take the the credit of being correct because it’s about all my haters and well wishers who mended and amended me to develop and carry such thoughts.. 🙂 🙂 I love them equally.. if not more to my haters 🙂
OMG this happend frequently with me..
Ano…ippo peru pidikittiyallo
yeaa thank you 🙂
Quite a observation ha, you really are very inquisitive akhila 🙂
Thanks Dhwani..beautiful dp of yours…
hehehe thanks Akhila 🙂 🙂
morning dear..
Morning Akhila 🙂
Deja Vu!
Happens alot with me.. Yesterday only I was confused about something and wanted answers.. Nd voila today I read a post clearing all my doubts..
Great to know its called frequency illusion..
Yes dear, it’s frequency illusion..there is another jatgon for the same..just google
True..exactly the same as that of color effects
Hahaha…Right.. 🙂 <3
lOL… Weird but when my sister was pregnant there were no such encounters. But true, when we are in some condition we tend to observe and notice more of the ones similar to ours. hehe
He he, you made me laugh…
Law of attraction!!! I am sure you know about it ……
It amazes me how you are able to talk about such minute observations everyday on your blog
Haahaa…lol! Its just a case of keen observation & human behaviour only.
Yaa…it is just a common human behavior..but it was quite interesting to know it’s another name, “baader_meinhoff” phenomenon..how’s that..
“Baader Meinhof” but that’s not entirely true……
Though subconscious mind plays a significant role….. But many time things we think about never actually happens……
Well..it’s not actual happenings..it’s on our thoughts..the selective thoughts
Ofc this is not…. This is serious stuff…. I didn’t even intend any pun……
This is QUANTUM PHYSICS akhila…..
I don’t joke all d tym
ha.. come on re…
What?? You think I am kidding…..
one day you will. you will get it from the interaction with your readers..
Can relate…actually I have also written about it some time back.
ya.. it’s a common human behaviour…
thanks prashant…..it’s good , no.. to chase those little pleasure of life, small things in our routine…
not in that way.. I can say a yes or no.. but it wont have any base. so what i meant is, you will understand it gradually from your readers..
Okay you meant to say by my post.
Ya..exactly
Please don’t laugh ..this time is last I have changed..lolzzzzz 😀 XD XD 😀
Oh my killer…please kill me…this time i need to check the previous comments to identify you, as your dp also got changed
😉
What you focus on expands and multiplies
Yes…a cognitive bias
My name is Rakhi Vishwakarma. What’s your?
Hehe..i know
Oh yes, especially the pregnant woman bit!
Lol…you noticed it
Yes, and all the rest of it.
ABSOLUTELY!!! EVERYTIME.
We bought a new car a few months back, and we saw it suddenly almost everywhere.
I came to know a person that lived across me, and suddenly I would see him everywhere.
So this is the so called baader meinhoff phenomenon…
Pada pedichu panthalathu chennappo avide pantham koluthi padapadapadaa pada
athu thanne
Whoa, I don’t know how much I relate to it, but this is absolutely mind blowing Di!
Haven’t you experienced it
This happens to me all the time!
Most common example is when I learn a new word how I see people use it often. Like how come I never came across this word before then!! =D
Haha.. true that shifa.. I too felt it many times
Very true, it happens and i agree with your assessment of selective selection. Eyes would like to see what it would like to see.
Ravi
Yup..just an illusion
Hmmm true…Happens a lot…
Thank you…yeah..it always happens if we notice it or not
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am a victim of this illusion too. It is almost like the world is conspiring to get in line with our thought. It is like our mind is tuned to see what we wish to see.
Yes, it happens. Quite common and I think it’s just the opposite of Murphy’s law…
Ah..yes…didn’t think in that angle…
I think it’s true. When you are on a wavelength it is easier to find someone who is on the same wave as yours. haha..
PS. Are you pregnent? I came back to blogging after so long, I have lost touch with most of the blogs I followed. Just today found yours. So tell me your news.
Haha.. I liked your question…. but I am sorry to disappoint you…i just added that title to have an emphasis only…
hahaha I was away from blogging for almost 6 months so I thought what the hell did I miss.. hehe okay. got your point.
