It is not a coincidence that the way things suddenly seem to emerge and relate is the way reality works. The story of Pesto.
In the 1990s, it seems that all of a sudden, everyone I knew was having Pesto. It was offered in restaurants, and recipes seemed to pop up everywhere.
This type of coincidence has seemed to happen often with some popular things, like a Furby toy or a Hula Hoop, encouraged by marketing. Yet I have experienced this type of coincidence that did not seem connected to advertisement or word of mouth, it just appeared to pop up spontaneously. I theorize it is the collective result of known and unknown influences permeating the prevailing reality.
Some of these coincidental examples can be attributed to significant world events: war, famine, disease, or even a historical event like the moon landings. I am not omniscient or a savant, but the one thought I have is that somehow the reality we all share is how we are connected (see previous blog). This and similar happenings have something to do with this phenomenon, is my best guess.
