My first experience is merely a coincidence or something more. You decide.
In a french class I took, I had to choose a "french name" for the class from a list. I looked at the list and saw a name which struck me and looked familiar. The name was Theres or Theros, I have seen it before in my life and I saw it on the list! So I choose it. I told the french teacher who was a charming woman. After I told her she said "NO you cannot choose that name it means "lord of the Underworld" So I had to choose another name. I choose the name Thierry or Denis which is my actual name. I don't remember. What's strange is that I saw and heard the name before. And what is more strange is that this name was on the list! and what is even more strange is that she know what it meant. She looked at me strangely too when I told here Theres. Coincidence or strange happening? Maybe I am the lord of the underworld? no I don't think so. But I must say there is something powerful about that name. You decide is there power in a name? I think so.
This one is even more strange. It involves a flying object and a girl. This took place in school 10:35 AM. Being a loner for the most part it was lunch time during high school. I went upstairs where I was not supposed to be. I sat by a wall, near a door that leads to the outside. I was eating my pita sandwich with ham and I kept hearing knocks on the wall outside. I took a peak it was a girl in 10th grade practicing lacrosse. Why was she practicing during lunch? has she been practicing during gym? she is not supposed to be doing that. Anyways what was she doing there? mysterious. Then some girls pass by me. They don't say anything. So I am well dressed, handsome looking as you will find out soon enough when you read on. The girl stopped practicing and went outside. I took a look at her, and then she noticed me. For some reason I felt compelled not to look at her I felt a strange charming power that I had. I just looked at her in the eyes. She walked towards me and then I swear, I swear on my mothers name and my name that a pencil flew out of her bag or pocket right out of thin air and landed near me. There was no possible way she could have thrown it. She was holding her lacrosse stick in both hands and it just flew like it was thrown by someone and landed near me. Then what was more weird she went to pick up the pencil and she was close by me now. She then asked is it nice up here? Honestly it's quiet and serene there but it is much more livelier and nice downstairs with all the other students and staff. She was asking to sit with me together. A girl I don't know! And a pencil just flew from her direction out of thin air. I still don't know where it came from. I told her it's okay here but she should go downstairs and she did. She was younger. I could have told her to come and sit with me but it is the best for her to be with her friends and be downstairs. We were not supposed to be upstairs during lunch unless it is for art or ceramics or if you are seeing the gym teachers. I did the right thing. It felt like she was under my control or under my spell and the flying pencil. Strange time. It finished like this. She went downstairs safely. She was a very pretty young girl. A girl you would want as a girlfriend. Then tommorow I am in my spot alone again. Then from out of nowwhere a group of freshmen lead by a girl come up and start talking to me. The girl a 9th grader named Cara as I would find out later on asked me if I again if I wanted them to stay here and be with me. There was like 6 people. Again it was quiet, and it felt like I was under control or they were charmed. These things don't happen. I told them to go downstairs, I didn't want them to get in trouble and I wanted them to be more merrier. Then I started seeing some people wander in that area. Not good. Eventually I did the right thing and went downstairs alone but bravely. And it stopped, the wandering upstairs, and Cara and her group seemed much happier. The girl was okay too.I was by myself but everything seemed better, safer. And life got better for me. Call this strange but it seemed as if life or someone sent me company or friends. I could have hanged out with them, I could have been with the girl, I could have become their leader but in the end I did the best thing I believe. To be true to myself and to follow the rules. It paid off. About Cara, it felt like instant friendship. The type of person you meet and become good friends instantly. She was very friendly and nice to me too, and she seemed to know about me, and it seemed as if she could look inside my soul. That may sound strange but true.
Now for the next part. It is about flickering lights, televisions, and lamps. It is also about my moods. Sometimes when I lived on Golden Road I went to the basement. And sometimes a lamp or two would flicker on and off. Sometimes and then stop. Eventually one burned off and was replaced. Now this is the interesting part. When I was feeling angry or not very happy they would flicker. When I was feeling happy they were fine. Could my moods or energy be affecting the light? Again this is all true, this is not a movie but this happened to me. Also since I was a child, lamps would burn out or tv's would turn off mysteriously by themselves and lights would flicker on and off. The flickering lights happened when I felt very angry or sad or felt devious. Once also during highschool my senior year. I was sighned up for a speech class. A class where you give presentations and speeches in front of the class and are graded based on it. Mostly it and some homework. I felt nervous during that time about that class but I know if I stuck with it and dealt with my nerves I would get better and become more confident. I did not stay in that class. I decided to leave. I walked up to the teacher, and said I am leaving and sighning out. The teacher called Mrs. Greenberg a short sexual woman, with dark hair, she wore a huge black stone amulet the first day and she was very strict the first class. She did this I knew to "scare" away the jokers and people who are not serious about that class. I was serious but decided to go. So I walk up to her, she looks like a witch, but is very friendly. I tell her I am leaving, she says after we exchange a few words that she is not really like that, that she is not really mean or strict. And she was truthful as I found out she is a very nice lady, one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life! She then says"I would love for you to stay" I then told her "Do you know what luck means? She said "yes" I told her I better sigh out because strange and mysterious things happen around me" Then it happened. The lights in the room started flickering on and off. She was surprised. Nobody else seemed to notice just me and her! I then left and signed out. Interestingly enough a kid nicknamed Revell was supposed to be sighned up for the class. Really handsome, smart, nice but shy, like me. As long as I was in the class and as long as I was unsure of staying or leaving he did not show up. Then after I left he showed up. He took my place. Strange, coincidental. Such is fate and destiny. If you don't take a chance in life someone else may take it. What do you think? Can a person or a persons moods affect lights or lamps or cause lights and lamps to flicker on and off? I have done it. I describe it as energy. It is based on my mood.
I have a birthmark on my right thigh. It is a "lucky birthmark. My eyes have also changed color and are not blue nor brown. They are a rare color, multicolored. They are strange and beautiful as I am. People often notice my eyes and say how beautiful they are.Well I am a strange person I must say and have seen strange things and have done strange things. I will share some more stories. =-+)
Ok, there are some very simple (and much better) unsupernatural explanations for everything you described. These explanations don't even have to be very likely, 'Littlewoods law' explains why: Littlewood defines a miracle as an exceptional event of special significance occurring at a frequency of one in a million. He assumes that during the hours in which a human is awake and alert, a human will experience one event per second, which may either be exceptional or unexceptional (for instance, seeing the computer screen, the keyboard, the mouse, the article, etc.). Additionally, Littlewood supposes that a human is alert for about eight hours per day. As a result, a human will, in 35 days, have experienced, under these suppositions, 1,008,000 events. Accepting this definition of a miracle, one can be expected to observe one miraculous occurrence within the passing of every 35 consecutive days - and therefore, according to this reasoning, seemingly miraculous events are actually commonplace.From wiki Case One- The weird french name As you say, a simple coincidence. You mentioned having heard the name 'Theros' OR SOMETHING SIMILAR before (after all you can't even be sure what the name was now) , well I've heard similar names before too. This is not very impressive at all, can you honestly say that 'something more' is the best explanation? Case Two- Using the force You mentioned you were a bit of a loner so maybe you consider the fact that any girl approached you a miracle in itself. But this one is mind bogglingly obvious, she threw the pencil so she could talk to you! you should have let her stay and talk- got her number at least. But wait! there was 'no possible way she could have thrown it'... dude you said you were scared to even look at her, it would not be that hard to throw the goddamn pencil in a way that was SUBTLE. Once again, the event itself is not very likely but you would expect things like these to happen every now and again. Also, we have a tendency to embellish memories as time goes by, try thinking about it again with a clear head; did the pencil really fly out of her bag in violation of everything we know about gravity? Case Three- The Seduction of Cara ho-hum no surprise here, this chick likes you and you guys connected; congratulations. Thousands of bashful teens do this every day with no assistance from a higher power. There is no enchanting force to blame for this, you only have yourself to thank. Case Four- The dodgy household electronics Lights, televisions, and lamps are ALWAYS flickering, it's reasonable to expect that occasionally this will coincide with changes in mood; it's very easy to confuse this correlation with your moods actually having any effect on the lighting. It's not beyond the scope of probability to expect that at some point in your life the lights will flicker at the same time as you mentioning your weird superstition to your teacher. Case Five- Of birthmarks and eye colour Again no surprises here, just about everybody has a birthmark on some weird spot, join the club. As for the changing eye colour this is a known phenomenon caused by changes in melanin levels in your eyes- nothing mystical about that. Conclusion Human beings are really crummy when it comes to thinking clearly about probabilities, events that are seemingly astronomically unlikely can actually happen very often. We also have a tendency to get easily to confused when it comes to problems of correlation-causation. The experiences you mentioned are not indicative of some supernatural force mindfucking you, just every day occurrences cherry picked in a way that's making you think something other worldly is going on.

I like these explanations and you have a good sense of humor. Of course I thought about some of these explanations too. You australian are a wise guy. Did you watch Leyton Hewitt? But the pencil did defy gravity haha. That is all I gotta say. Or maybe she did throw it. Whatever it was nice. Interesting and thanks for the explanations. Have a good day man.
Must be on some crazy drugs, brah.
I am drug free and do not take any drugs. I am healthy and happy and living well. These are stories and experiences, you decide what they are caused by or if they are coincidences or maybe some"higher power" There is no doubt in my mind that there is higher power.
