The “connection” between these two events occurs only in the observer’s consciousness—he “sees” a connection and describes a “pair” of events, hypothesizing a relationship. This relationship is a concept that exists solely in the mind of the observer; it is not necessary that any corollary external event exist in the universe. Unless there is an underlying attractor pattern, nothing can be experienced. Thus, the entire manifest universe is its own simultaneous expression and experience of itself.
