The ripple of thoughts

You know how sometimes when you call someone, they say, "I was just thinking about you"? It's like your thoughts resonate with theirs, creating a connection that seems to travel across time and space. It’s almost as if your thoughts create a wave that eventually reaches them, much like throwing a rock into a lake...the ripples expand until they touch the shore, and the other person, like the shore, feels the wave of thought through images "I was just thinking about you" or "Or I wanted to call you these days". Ofcourse they didn’t see the person through the rock (thought) being thrown. Untill for some magic of coincidence it has manifested in the real world.

This idea ties into Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that there's a part of our mind shared by all humans, filled with universal experiences and memories inherited from our ancestors. Just as those ripples connect you with someone else, the collective unconscious connects us all through these deep, shared memories and symbols. It's a fascinating way to think about how we're all linked, even in ways we can't always see.
