It's a very interesting repeating pattern, Ebbie. You may be onto something there. Rather than coincidences, these might be called correspondences.

We call something a "coincidence" when we notice that it corresponds to something else, but we don't know why. When we don't notice it at all (which I think is very often the case), we don't call it anything at all. ;-)

There are basically 2 schools of philosophical outlook among people. The first school sees itself in a Universe where things happen by chance...by accident...according to blind physical laws...therefore with no purpose or awareness.

The other sees itself in a Universe where everything fits into a meaningful pattern, and everything is interrelated, and has some purpose (although that doesn't mean we know what that purpose is).

The former school would see your pattern as mere "coincidence" (without meaning). The latter school would see your pattern as meaningful...therefore susceptible to some interpretation as to what that meaning might be.

Anyone of a mystical bent tends to favor the latter school. And religious people also favor it. Most materialists (and/or cynics or anti-religious people) tend to favor the former school.

In any case, everyone shares this ONE thing in common. They like to think they're right! ;-D
