When it comes to coincidences, you either believe it or you don’t. Even the scientific community is divided when it comes to this topic. Carl Jung, one of the founders of modern psychology, came up with the theory of synchronicity.
Simply put, Jung believes that coincidences hold significant meaning and that these seemingly unrelated events are actually connected.

Then, there are the skeptics like psychoanalyst and author Dr. Gibb A. Williams. He argues that people tend to find connections, even if there aren’t any. Dr. Williams calls it a “psychological scavenger hunt.”
“You look for pieces to fit the puzzle. The completed pattern is experienced as a synchronicity,” he said, as he also describes synchronicity believers as “junkies craving their next fix.”

Some experts believe you can cultivate coincidences. In an interview with Discover Magazine, psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Beitman explained that this typically happens among religious and spiritual people.
“Those who are more connected with the world around them and those who are seeking meaning — or in distress and searching for signs — are more likely to experience coincidences,” he said.

Connecting with strangers is another way to cultivate coincidences, according to statistician and risk researcher Professor David Spiegelhalter. He says these seemingly serendipitous moments often happen when talking to someone you don’t know, and then you suddenly find out you were born in the same hospital.
