Dr. Zheng: Do You Know What Types of Coincidences Have Negative Implications?

Meaning: This refers to the expression or implication of certain significance, the intention or meaning contained within. Idioms like "deeply meaningful" and "profoundly significant" exemplify this concept.

Coincidence: This relates to a perfect match or a fortunate alignment. Coincidence is an intriguing phenomenon, primarily resulting from energy splitting into two parts and entering different locations in three-dimensional space. This can lead to the occurrence of similar events in different or even the same places simultaneously, often leaving people amazed.

A good meaning can bring luck and happiness, while a favorable coincidence can lead to surprise and gratitude. But what happens if misfortune arises from negative meanings and unfortunate coincidences? Naturally, this can be quite challenging. Today, Dr. Zheng wants to explore the topic: avoid artificially creating meanings that lead to unfortunate coincidences.

Many people blame their parents for not bestowing good luck, hold society accountable for injustices, and reproach themselves for lacking standout looks or intelligence. They blame everything except their own careless words and actions, which often lead to troubles and misfortunes. Previously, Dr. Zheng has written several blog posts advising against overemphasizing "meaning": some individuals strive for attention with eerie usernames, peculiar tattoos, shocking hair colors, or behaviors suited to "ghosts," leading to serious troubles.

Meaning and coincidence can sometimes seem like "twins." Dr. Zheng believes that many meanings and coincidences in the world are beyond our control, as if governed by destiny. However, some meanings and coincidences are "created" by individuals themselves—through their own actions. To illustrate, Dr. Zheng will provide public examples.

The First Type: Meaning and Coincidence as Destiny

On July 28, 1890, King Umberto I of Italy visited Monza, near Milan, to prepare for a ceremony. That evening, he dined at a small restaurant and noticed the owner remarkably resembled him. They discovered intriguing coincidences: they were born on the same day, in the same place, shared the same name, both married on April 22, 1868, to women named Margherita, and each had a son named Vittorio. The restaurant opened on the day the king ascended the throne, and both received the Medal of Valor in 1866.

Tragically, the next day, the restaurant owner was accidentally shot and killed, and the king was assassinated that same day. This has been referred to as "the encounter before death."

Another mysterious assassination example involves Lincoln and Kennedy, who both faced assassination and shared several similarities:

• Abraham Lincoln joined Congress in 1846, and John F. Kennedy in 1946, exactly 100 years apart;
• Lincoln became President in 1860, and Kennedy in 1960, once again 100 years apart;
• Both surnames contain seven letters, and both were keenly interested in civil rights;
• Both their wives experienced miscarriages while living at the White House;
• Both were assassinated on a Friday;
• Both were shot in the head;
• Both assassins hailed from the South;
• Both successors of the presidents were Southerners named Johnson;
• Andrew Johnson, succeeding Lincoln, was born in 1808;
• Lyndon B. Johnson, succeeding Kennedy, was born in 1908;
• Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was born in 1839;
• Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was born in 1939;
• Lincoln's assassin fled a theater, captured in a warehouse;
• Kennedy's assassin fled a warehouse, captured in a theater;
• Both assassins were shot before their trials.

Dr. Zheng advises: Meaning and coincidence often align with destiny. In these matters, humans are often helpless and seemingly passive. Recognize the inevitability of fate, avoid foolish actions, and refrain from futile efforts.

The Second Type: The "Contagious" Nature of Meaning and Coincidence

Hollywood star James Dean died in a 1955 car accident while driving his sports car. The wreck eventually went to a repair shop, where it fell from the jack and injured a mechanic's leg.

The car's engine was later sold to a doctor who installed it in his own race car. This doctor also died in a car racing accident. Another racer who bought the steering axle from Dean's car met a similar fate. The car shell was put on exhibition, which caught fire, and dropped off a display, injuring a visitor.

Dr. Zheng advises: The contagion of meaning and coincidence suggests that bad fortunes can be transmitted. Therefore, exercise caution when buying second-hand items, including antiques, to avoid disturbances to your energy field that may lead to baffling events. This is one area where we can take action, sometimes averting misfortune. Saying "man creates his own destiny" is fitting here.

The Third Type: Man-Made Meaning and Coincidence

In 1898, British author Morgan Robertson wrote "Futility," a novel about the unsinkable luxury liner Titan, which sank on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg, with many passengers lost at sea.

Astonishingly, fourteen years later, a similar tragedy occurred with the Titanic. Some reflected on the book, highlighting numerous uncanny parallels:

• Both ships sank on their maiden voyages after iceberg collisions in the North Atlantic.
• Ship names: Titan / Titanic
• Sailing period: April; route from Britain to America.
• Disaster month: April / April
• Passenger numbers: 3000 / 2207
• Lifeboats: 24 / 20
• Displacement: 75,000 tons / 66,000 tons
• Lengths: 800 feet / 882.5 feet
• Propellers: 3 / 3
• Speed at impact: 25 knots / 23 knots
• Heavy casualties due to insufficient lifeboats.

Dr. Zheng advises: Meaning and coincidence can be man-made. While "man-made" meaning might be tricky to describe, it could involve "foresight," a "reminder," or a "creation."

Concerning "reminders," it's common for people in some places to avoid celebrating birthdays after 60, fearing it might remind the spirits to take them early. Similarly, movies or usernames that imply death or disaster might inadvertently cause harm.

This illustrates why curses are feared and why even positive claims should be cautiously made. For example, boasting about perfect health might result in hospitalization shortly after.

Dr. Zheng reminds us: avoid making grandiose pronouncements or acting foolishly. Do not disregard fate; trying to resist it may backfire. If your fortune seems unfavorable, take steps to adjust it, and remember Dr. Zheng's advice: adjustments are key, and feng shui is part of our environment.
