No Chance its only chance #2

Law and Order One evening a few years ago, I went to bed with a book to read during commercials. The book had been in a box of books in my garage but I’d not read it. I noticed it one day and took it into the house, intending to read it. That evening I decided to read it. The book was so interesting I didn’t give much attention to the television show when it ended, then a different show began. It was a show I never watch, the Law and Order series; as a rule I change the station. I wasn’t listening to the television when suddenly the words being spoken on the television caused me to glance up. I heard: “Do you recognize anyone?” The screen showed a page in a high school year book on which a young girl’s senior picture was prominent, they were talking about her. But that’s not what I saw. At very first glance I saw a name I thought I recognized below a picture adjoining hers of another senior in the class: Andrew Samuels. It was only a glimpse so I wasn't certain but the book I was reading at that moment was The Plural Psyche by Andrew Samuels. He's a well-known (but not to me) Jungian author. What a surprise this was when I remembered how long I’d owned the book but had not read it even after I'd brought it into the house. How odd that on this particular night I decided to read it! But was it really Andrew Samuels? Probably not, I decided and gave no more thought to the incident. However within a few weeks that particular show was in progress several times when I browsed the television! It just happened to be on when I flipped channels, not once but several times. So I was able to prove to myself that I had not read the name incorrectly. It was Andrew Samuels. I’ve not seen it since I captured the scene with my camcorder, although I recently bought the 13th season. Episode 2, Law and Order: Shangrila was about Fiona Reid. Isn't it odd that a search on the name of a fictional character in one episode in a series actually finds that name on the Internet? Consider what has happened: I had just begun to read a book I'd owned for some time, the night of that showing of an episode that was several years old. It was very odd, even extraordinarily unusual to happen that the show just seemed to be there so many times when I wasn’t looking for it. (The same thing happened when the movie Amadeus which I hated, kept showing up until I re-viewed it, but that’s another long story.) Now consider this fact about that incident: I wasn't watching the show. I was reading my book until the question was asked: “Do you recognize anyone?” I looked up and recognized someone; the author of a book I was reading at the moment by someone that had the same name. I felt that the question had been asked by some one talking to me, conversationally, borrowing the words and re-using them literally, to ask me a question. It’s an artificially created voice. I used to feel very strange when I experienced this kind of 'voice', it was a real shock. It used what I was hearing to create its own voice. This may be, probably is and example of 'thought broadcasting'? But wait, there’s more: the first page of The Plural Psyche had interested me especially because the author mentioned that any author writes about the essential events that are happening in the time they are living, as well as what they are doing themselves, whether they know it or not. Few artists or authors or those who read those books have that degree of self knowledge. That kind of coincidence is not new to me but it took a long time and many events happened before I thought of them as a voice speaking to me, using (or re-using) the content of what I was doing at the moment.
