Are those recurring number patterns, animal sightings, and strange coincidences trying to tell you something? According to Dr. Douglas James Cottrell, the answer is a resounding yes—but not in the way most people think.
Dr. Cottrell unveils the fascinating mechanics behind synchronicity, explaining how our subconscious mind constantly perceives everything while our conscious attention remains narrowly focused. These "coincidences" often represent communication between different levels of our consciousness—what he calls our conscious mind, subconscious mind, and "super subconscious" or "soul mind."
Through compelling real-life examples, including his co-host Les Hubert's experience with repeatedly seeing black dump trucks before experiencing burnout, Dr. Cottrell demonstrates how our deeper awareness tries to protect and guide us. Most remarkably, he shares the story of a woman who avoided death by heeding a single intuitive warning not to get into her boyfriend's car moments before it was crushed in an accident.
The challenge for most people isn't that these messages aren't being sent—they constantly are—but rather that our ego blocks or dismisses them because it wants to maintain the illusion of control. "The tyrant within is yourself," Dr. Cottrell explains, emphasizing how our rational mind often overrules the very intuition that could save us from harm or guide us toward better choices.
This episode offers practical wisdom for developing greater awareness by recognizing patterns (especially when they appear three times), trusting the feeling of certainty that accompanies genuine intuition, and distinguishing between authentic guidance and wishful thinking. As you practice listening to these subtle messages, you'll develop what Dr. Cottrell calls "that still small voice" that can transform your decision-making and potentially save you from unnecessary hardship.
Ready to stop dismissing coincidences and start recognizing the extraordinary intelligence constantly communicating with you? Listen now, and take your first step toward truly waking up to the wisdom of your soul mind.
