If it still pulls you, it’s still active.
Not coincidence. Pattern.
If you can feel that something pulls you, it is almost impossible that you “don’t know why”.
More often, you know — but you don’t want to see it. Or you don’t want anyone else to see that you see it.
This is how the loop survives.
Not through mystery.
Through avoidance.
The loop is simple:
You feel the pull.
You label it as “random”.
You call it “overthinking”.
You pretend it’s not connected.
But if it pulls you, it is connected.
You just haven’t organised the evidence.
So here is the method — not spiritual, not emotional, not performative:
Reconstruct.
Not only the event.
Not only the outcome.
Reconstruct the path up to the point where you distanced yourself from the structure that created it.
Then reconstruct the second path:
From the moment you left — to the moment you are here, reading this.
Do not judge it.
Do not moralise it.
Look at it like an analyst.
When emotions appear — triggers, heat, tension, grief — don’t worship them and don’t suppress them.
Treat them as information.
Put them next to the timeline like evidence on a table.
Then ask one question only:
What led to what?
What produced which reaction?
Which environment created which impulse?
Which social pressure created which compromise?
And if you are stable enough — you cross-check:
Does the present trigger the same internal sequence as the past?
Does “now” replay “then” with a new costume?
This is not therapy talk.
This is criminalistic work: sequence, motive, pattern, repetition.
And once the pattern becomes visible, something changes immediately:
You stop negotiating with the illusion.
You stop “hoping it goes away”.
You start seeing options you couldn’t see before — because you were inside the fog.
If you need one sentence for the moments where you say:
“This can’t be connected.”
“I’m over it.”
“I’ve already processed that.”
Use this:
There are no coincidences.
There are only patterns.
And if it still looks like coincidence, you simply haven’t recognised the pattern yet.
This is MAP in its pure form:
Mindful Awareness.
Active Preparation.
Purposeful Patience.
