Do you feel like someone out there can know what you are thinking? The other day I was trying to remember a joke about God's name. . I went on Facebook and someone had put in the joke. How did they know what I was thinking ? I didn't mention it to anyone yet it was in there. I didn't even ask anyone not even family.

No, no one can read your mind. It's synchronicity.

Synchronicity > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity

"(German: Synchronizität) is a concept first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl G. Jung "to describe circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection."[1] In contemporary research, synchronicity experiences refer to one's subjective experience that coincidences between events in one's mind and the outside world may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection.[2] Jung held that this was a healthy, even necessary, function of the human mind that can become harmful within psychosis.[3][4]

Jung developed the theory of synchronicity as a hypothetical noncausal principle serving as the intersubjective or philosophically objective connection between these seemingly meaningful coincidences.[1][5] Mainstream science generally regards that any such hypothetical principle either does not exist or would not fall within the bounds of science.[6][7] After first coining the term in the late 1920s[5] or early 30s,[8] Jung further developed the concept in collaboration with physicist and Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli through long correspondences and in their eventual 1952 work The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche (German: Naturerklärung und Psyche) which comprises one paper from each of the two thinkers.[9][10][11][12] Their work together culminated in what is now called the Pauli–Jung conjecture.[13] During his career, Jung furnished several different definitions of synchronicity,[14] defining it as "a hypothetical factor equal in rank to causality as a principle of explanation",[15] "an acausal connecting principle", "acausal parallelism", and as the "meaningful coincidence of two or more events where something other than the probability of chance is involved".[16] In Pauli's words, synchronicities were "corrections to chance fluctuations by meaningful and purposeful coincidences of causally unconnected events", though he had also proposed to move the concept away from coincidence towards instead a "correspondence", "connection", or "constellation" of discrete factors.[17] Jung and Pauli's view was that, just as causal connections can provide a meaningful understanding of the psyche and the world, so too may a causal connections."[3][17][8]

If you had Googled anything like "a joke about God's name" prior to navigating over to Facebook it's likely that FB read your browser history and ponied up relevant content. Or, if your phone was within earshot and you said out loud something about a joke about God's name that could basically do the same.
 

I have often heard people use the phrase,
"I know what you're thinking"

They often don't, but strongly think they do. :geek:

I have also heard people say:
I know what you mean!


They sometimes have had a similar situation or experience, and their reaction might truly have overlaps.
And they often want me to feel more understood and supported.
And I might! ;)

Like Nathan said, it's easy to post a joke about God's name, some may be wrong, but this time it was right. Nobody can know what you're thinking, although people close to us like our husbands who really have known us for years, can sometimes guess correctly about what we were going to say, or what's bothering us. Someone on facebook, don't think so.

It was picked up by energy force. You put it out in the Universe and it came to you. At times I will be thinking of a friend and call them, they tell me.. I was just thinking about you. Unexplained energy forces :love:
 
Years ago, I was into "New Age" things-aura reading, trances, Edgar Casey, McClaine, etc. During one of my trances, I thought the number "111" would be a number that had great meaning and would be extremely memorable. I harped on this so much that my friends made fun of me, but I kept saying "111" would be extremely important. Fast forward to Sept. 11th-911. So, was I off by just one digit? The message from the 'ether' somehow got scrambled? It could be I was 2/3 right? No, 911 is not 111, close, but no cigar. The fact that I thought of 111, and 911 happened, are unrelated. Sooner or later, something was going to happen, associated with a certain number. You were thinking of a joke and you happened to notice it on FB.

I'm going to agree with this. Of course it's not rational, and not scientifically verifiable, but that doesn't mean it's not a legitimate experience.

Channeling, whether it be through some shamen in communication with spirits, or between living persons has not been scientifically dis-proven.

Tic Toc is similar. While you are reading their app, it is reading your phone or other device.
 
If such were true, no one would be playing poker. From a physical phenomenon perspective as someone that studies neurology and electromagnetics, zero chance because no organic animal life neural systems have EMF field transmission or receiving structures or processes. The rest makes for lazy science fiction.

When I'm stressed at work, which is often, my mind goes so negative. Bad memories, feelings of not fitting in at work. My mind is just racing. I think so many negative things and I have to remind myself that no one knows what I'm thinking. Because I'm functioning on the outside, but a mess in my mind.
 
Sometimes when I am in company, I think of a subject
and somebody will talk about it, not always the same
company and never the same person.

But if I am thinking about something, why can't another
person also be thinking about it?

Coincidence.

I LOOKED ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE AND I FOUND THE JOKE. I STILL FEEL LIKE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO READ MY MIND.

A Sunday school teacher asked her second graders if anyone knew another name for God. She was picturing answers like 'Lord' or 'Almighty'.
After a long moment of silence, a little boy raised his hand and said, "Howard."
"Howard?" replied the confused teacher.
"You know," continued the boy, "Howard be thy name."
 
I sometimes think artificial intelligence has already become more dynamic and wide-ranging than we'd like to believe. Used to be the stuff of science fiction but Trojan viruses, worms and spyware have been active in the wilds of the virtual world for a long time now...maybe they formed a hierarchy and found the way to influence real life.
 
This reminded me of a guy in our friend group that would actually know what people were thinking and would say it out loud and be right. It happened to me and others. It made things uncomfortable and eventually we quit inviting him because he was a pompous jerk. I had never experienced anything like it before or after.
 
There are people who are gifted at reading the body language and facial expressions of others, though you'd have had to meet whoever it was in person so not applicable here, (these folks who say they're fortune tellers are adept at this I believe).

However, the experience related in the OP may be a case of something I'd suggest I've come across in my life, though I've heard a scientific explanation that seems to take all the mystery out of it, (basically just a matter of chance they said, but other scientists were prepared to lend some credence to stories where factors beyond chance may be involved).

Someone who knows you well "knowing what you're thinking" isn't quite the same thing though, as it would perhaps be odd if we didn't think we knew at least something about another's thoughts, if we know them really well.
