Yeah, I'm a "synchronicity freak" and think about that all the time. It is amazing how certain ideas all seem to come to the forefront of conciousness at the same time in different individuals. I first encountered this quote by some unknown ( to me ) sage, when learning about relativity.

"There is no stopping an idea whose time has come". In other words, if Einstein didn't do it, someone else would have in fairly short order.

I've concluded it's "cosmic conciousness".....some sort of sub-concious psychic link between all creatures. It depends what "channel" you "tune" into.

Ooops, gotta go, my dog is calling me again. :-)
