The Ninth Bench at the Beach
Joanne
South Windsor, Connecticut, USA
Hi Cynthia, It is so good to see you in your recent Youtube
interviews. I loved hearing about the magical tiny rose that suddenly
materialized out of nowhere, disappeared and reappeared at the bottom of
your large bag somehow uncrushed. Your story reminds me of a magical
experience I had with a hiking friend last year. My friend was not feeling
well, but really wanted to take a walk at our favorite place, a beach that
also has hiking trails. It was a beautiful day. We headed down the beach.
I looked ahead and counted out loud that there were eight park benches in a
row. My friend also counted eight benches. I am not sure why we felt the
need to count the benches that day, as we had been there many times.
Unfortunately, my friend started feeling worse but insisted that he wanted
to finish the hike. We kept going, but stopped and rested on each of the
park benches. I suddenly noticed that a bench had appeared out of nowhere
in the longest stretch of sand on the hike, where none had been before. We
couldn't believe it. We both recounted the benches, more than once. There
was somehow nine benches where there had been eight. We were amazed and
grateful. My friend really needed that 9th bench and somehow it appeared.
We headed back the same way where we started the hike. We looked back down
the beach where we had just come, and counted the benches again.
This time, there were only eight. The extra bench disappeared. Or, perhaps
we had temporarily shifted into a very similar reality where there were
nine benches and then shifted back again. We hiked there a number of times
after that and each time counted the park benches: there were always eight
benches. During challenging and uncertain times, I love to remember that
truly wonderful, unexplainable, seemingly magical things can happen in our
world.
Note from Cynthia: What a remarkable experience that was, for me
to find that rose appear as if out of nowhere on two separate
occasions--many weeks apart, yet clearly it was exactly the same rose.
I love how you and your friend both counted eight benches, and then when a
bench was needed on the stretch of beach where your friend felt tired,
there was suddenly a ninth bench, just where you needed it most!
And how remarkable and amazing that later on, that area returned to having
just eight benches once again. Truly that ninth bench seems to have
been a miraculous gift. What a beautiful reminder that sometimes we
truly can get exactly what we need, just when we need it most!

Granny's Butter Dish Manifested 27 Years
Later
Teresa
Morristown, Tennessee, USA
Hi, Cynthia. I recently had something happen that was
bizarre. Last month as I opened the door to my junk room to grab a dog food
bag so I could feed my dachshunds, I noticed a little yellow plastic bowl
sitting beside the dog food. I did not recognize it, so I asked my roommate
it it was his. It wasn't. So I popped the top off and found a weird
assortment of odds and ends. There was a bunch of old watches I didn't
recognize with some other stuff below them. Since I needed to feed my dogs,
I put the top back on the bowl and decided to deal with it later. Later, I
took the yellow plastic bowl into another room and opened it.
There were eight watches, that weren't mine, in a pile. Under it was an old
grade-school photo of my brother, who died two years ago. Beside that was
a newspaper clipping about one of my cousins which was at least thirty
years old. Under that was a gold bracelet and another newspaper clipping
that related to my granny's death back in 1993. I examined the watches
closer and when I turned one over, I saw a piece of masking tape on the
back with a price and some initials written in black marker. It was at
that point that I finally recognized the plastic bowl. Twenty six years
ago, my late granny had run a rummage sale, out of her house, to make
money. She had kept a little yellow plastic bowl, that she called her
"butter dish," on her mantle. It contained little envelopes of money for
people who had items that had sold in the rummage sale. I used to help her
with the sale so I recognized her handwriting on the masking tape and her
style of listing an item's price and its seller's initials. This was my
grandmother's"butter dish. But where had it been since 1993 and how had it
materialized beside my dog food? I had no answers, and I still don't. My
aunt and uncle had inherited my granny's house and they had thrown away, or
donated to Goodwill, maybe 99% of her possessions decades ago. I never had
possession of the butter dish and I had moved several times since my granny
had died. I called my mother and my cousin and they remembered the yellow
butter dish, but had not seen it for 26 years. Since we were in quarantine,
both asked me to send them pictures of the contents of the butter dish and
I did. We're all pretty weirded out. I had never held or looked
into my granny's butter dish so I truly didn't know what to expect. I had
seen her open it when I was much younger and I knew that she had kept
little envelopes of money for her rummage sale customers inside--but I
never expected what I found when I took the lid off after finding it in my
junk room beside the dog food. I don’t think I forgot I put it
in my junk room as the only things I remember taking from her house, when I
left for good, were a pair of my own red shoes that I'd recently worn to my
granny's funeral, a green scarf of my granny's--which I still have, her
Bible, her sewing box, and her jewelry box. If I'd ever had the butter
dish, it would have been buried deep, deep in the junk room, behind years
of accumulated debris and not right up front beside something I use every
day, dog food. Besides, I had moved at least four times since my granny
died. I think maybe my granny wanted to send me a special care package
during a scary time, because this pandemic is a time of uncertainty and
fear.
Note from Cynthia: Wow, wow, and WOW. I remember your
previously having told me that you thought your granny might be
communicating with you, but this latest matter of the materializing butter
dish seems to clinch the matter. What an amazing treasure to
rediscover, and I'm so glad you were able to take pictures of this
important piece of family history to share with your mother and
cousin. It sounds from your description like the contents of the
butter dish were not previously known to you, so this incident can not be
explained as a simple matter of 'forgetting' that you had just placed the
butter dish in the junk room. Equally impressive to me is the fact
that the butter dish was so unexpected that you didn't even recognize it
for what it was at first, asking your roommate if it was his. I
have heard before of some items returning to people or arriving for people
many years and even decades later, often in surprising places--and this is
something for all of us to remember to keep in mind. Sometimes,
treasured items can--and do--return. This reality shift is remarkable in
several ways, including the way it seems to have literally shown up out of
nowhere, containing such meaningful family treasures from the past.
What a great time to receive such gifts, during this pandemic, too.
Clearly there is no 'reasonable explanation' for how your granny's butter
dish showed up in your junk room, especially since if you'd taken it with
the other few special items, you would have most likely looked inside.
It's just amazing how it showed up when it did. This truly feels
like a miraculous blessing--and it even feels to me like your granny wants
you and your mom and cousin to feel love and joy right now.
Finding Tortoise Using Your Method
Rowena
Hampshire, U.K.
Hope you and your loved ones are well at this strange time.
Thank you so much for your uplifting videos and articles throughout this
period - I’m using the time as a sort of retreat and trying to
think about how good it can get as much as possible! I wanted to share
some success I had yesterday using one of your methods for finding lost
things (/beings in this this case!) We’ve been having beautiful
sunny weather in England recently, and my mum’s tortoise came
out of hibernation about a month ago - he’s been enjoying the
sunshine. However, the last few days have turned colder and it was going to
be freezing the night before last - usually the tortoise stays outside but
we decided to bring him in and keep him in our conservatory. In the
morning, my mum went to find him, and my dad told her he’d put
him outside earlier that morning. We searched the whole garden for him with
no success. By the afternoon, my mum was feel sad and worried - she said
she had a bad feeling (firstly, we were worried he might have caught a
cold, secondly, he escaped three times last summer!) The whole situation
reminded me of a previous time a tiny kitten of ours got caught in a
thunderstorm and ended up dying. I’ve been practising
mindfulness throughout the day so I tried to just notice this memory
without getting attached. I’m always telling my mum about your
ideas for approaching situations and at that moment I decided to try your
method for finding lost things. I felt my love for my mum’s
tortoise and imagined in detail me finding the tortoise, holding him level
with my eyes and feeling grateful. Just a couple of minutes later, I was
walking inside from the garden and happened to glance to the left as I went
in the back door - who should I see cowering behind a flowerpot up against
the wall but the tortoise! He was cold and obviously hadn’t been
able to the find the energy to walk around the garden, so we put him under
a heat lamp and pampered him for the rest of the day. Thank you so much for
reminding me always that love connects all of us and the most amazing
things, beyond our understanding, can happen when we abide in that
space!
Note from Cynthia: What a wonderfully happy experience with your
beloved tortoise! I'm so happy to hear that you found your tortoise
just a couple of minutes after remembering to practice one of my methods
for finding lost things--or beloved beings! I'm so glad to hear
that even though worrisome thoughts and feelings came to mind, you were
able to stay well focused on how much you love, cherish, and adore your
dear tortoise. And what a success, to find him ready for some
well-deserved tender, loving care!
Makeup Mirror Switch Change
Bev
Austin, Texas, USA
I have had a makeup mirror for many years. This makeup
mirror has a black lightswitch on the bottom, front at the base. The OFF
position is with the black switch all the way to the LEFT. Today I was
about to turn it on, when I saw that the switch was moved all the way over
to the RIGHT, but the light was not on. I was sad because I realized that
I must have left the light switched on and the bulb must have burned out.
So I moved the switch to the left, out of habit, to turn it off even though
the light must be off because I'd left it on and it burned
out—and I was stunned to see that the LIGHT CAME ON! My
mind was blown. Here is a picture of this makeup mirror from amazon,
showing the lamp lit and the switch all the way over to the right in the on
position. This is how my lamp operated until today. Shocker. So, is this
a reality shift? It is just so shocking. My husband said he has never in
his life seen any switch be left/ON and right/Off.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing with me the change
that happened for your makeup mirror, such that the switch now operates
completely opposite to the way it used to work, with the right/ON and
left/OFF operation no longer being the case, after many years of use.
This does indeed sound like a reality shift! And it's good to note
that reality shifts are actually pretty much exactly the same thing as
personal (individual) Mandela Effects, such that lots of other people may
also have experienced a similar shift in their makeup mirror light
switches, also. When some of us see Mandela Effects such as the
Kit-Kat candy no longer having a hyphen (dash) between "Kit" and "Kat" we
notice that most all the places where we now see that candy now show it
with the new-to-us "Kit Kat" that lacks the hyphen. So if other
people also experienced a similar change to their light switch operation,
they would be equally astonished when going back to check it on amazon, for
example, and finding now that apparently "the switch has always been as
pictured here." Yet, many of us notice that obviously some kind of
reality shift or Mandela Effect has occurred.
Quantum Magic Driver's License
Alicia
Los Angeles, California, USA
I've been following your work for a little while now and
really wanted to share this story that happened to me a few years ago. I
will try to give you the Reader's Digest version. I lost my driver's
license at a doctor's office. I searched for it for weeks, bugged them to
death and finally gave up and went to get a new one. Since I love the DMV
about as much as anyone else, this was imprinted strongly in my mind and I
was sure I could not find the license before I went. The whole process
took months from start to finish. A year later, I went into my wallet to
get my new driver's license, in order to write the number down on a form or
something. I pulled it out of the tight, tiny little pocket it was slipped
into, and pulled out TWO driver's licenses. Yes, my old one was stuck
BEHIND the new one. Now there is absolutely no way I did not see that
before. Not possible. I have had many, many experiences with the Quantum
Realm. I know this is real. I am positive I have shifted realities a
number of times. This has to be the most profound and obvious example I
personally have experienced to date. Thank you for your work and for
always emphasizing the positive. You have helped me a lot in a short
time.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing your experience with your
missing Drivers License showing up one day in your wallet. That's
such an obvious location to look for a missing Drivers License, so it's
obvious to me that your experience is completely legitimate and can no way
be confused or mistaken for a case of simple confusion, memory lapse, or
'false memory.' That's especially interesting about the old
Drivers License being stuck so tightly behind the new one, too--since
certainly you would have noticed what a struggle it would be to push your
new license into the wallet pocket, had your old license already been
there. Thanks so much for appreciating my work, and consistent
focus on the positive--and I'm so happy to hear that's been helpful to you!
Light in the Bathroom
Nancy
Lexington, Kentucky, USA
I had another strange thing happen to me just about an hour
ago. Several months ago, the light in the bathroom stopped working and it
was the fixture itself because it was old. Since that time, I've
had to keep the light in the kitchen and bedroom on for light. About an
hour ago, I went in there and turned on the light, full knowing that it
didn't work, and suddenly, it came on when I turned a small switch on the
bottom. Before, it was too tight and wouldn't work. I'm not sure
how it happened. Could the Universe have known about my frustration
with it and it fixed itself? When it stopped working, my mother was sick
and I couldn't get anyone to come fix it. When she died (March 27, 2019),
I was so busy getting her estate in order, and by the time I got some time
for it, Covid-19 came along. I'm not sure how things like that happen.
Note from Cynthia: What a joyful discovery to find that the
previously non-functioning light suddenly started working--seemingly all by
itself! I love it when things are healed like this, as I've
experienced in my life. And sometimes when I mention that 'things
can heal,' people respond they cannot, since they are just 'things.'
But if they ask, "you mean things can be repaired?" I can agree, and then
it sometimes is easier for them to imagine. I wrote an article
about healing things, based on some of the experiences I've had with
printers and scanners being receptive to energetic healing, which you might
enjoy: http://realityshifters.com/pages/articles/healingthings.html
Quantum Jerry Stiller
Silvia
New York, New York, USA
I saw the news about Jerry Stiller's death on May 11, 2020
from his son announcing that news that day. I knew Jerry Stiller's wife
died a couple of years ago, yet this is where I go hmmmm. This was
confusing to me, since I remembered having heard about Jerry Stiller's
death over a year ago. The first thing I felt was hearing that is this an
example of the Mandela Effect I would hear about conceptually. I wrote to
you immediately, and was pleasantly surprised that you validated also
remembering that you had heard Jerry died over a year ago (a year and a
half, which also sounded correct to me when you shared that you remembered
that time frame). I noticed that Jerry's death was more fully covered when
his death was reported previously over a year ago, versus now, due to the
distraction with the current pandemic. And Jerry's death from a year and
half ago felt like it was from an illness, which is different than his
recent death from natural causes reported in May 2020. I also remember
seeing Jerry Stiller honored after his death in People magazine the last
time he died, after a week or so. It is cool to be experiencing this
first-hand, instead of just hearing about reality shifts and the Mandela
Effect conceptually. I've been following you on and off for over 20 years,
as these subjects can sometime only be chewed on and contemplated in small
doses. So the fact that I'm experiencing this now so vividly says a lot
about how more and more people will as well, too. Or if not that, it is a
sign of a huge reality shift—whether the mainstream populace
will be aware of the changes, or it will happen seamlessly. As long it
leads into a brighter world, I'm all for it. How do you differentiate
between when it is legit to question feeling like I have experienced this
before vs it just a case of getting the info or memory mixed up is all? To
keep it grounded while also experiencing the world with a mystic flair?
Thanks!
Note from Cynthia: Thanks for writing to me about your
remembering that Jerry Stiller passed away previously. If you'd asked me
without my having just read your email, I would have said that I remember
hearing that Jerry Stiller died about a year and a half ago, or something
like that. I was not a huge fan of the Seinfeld show, but was
rather peripherally aware of it, so this was not a huge thing for me, but
rather background news. That's a great question about how to differentiate
between a legitimate recollection of a reality shift / Mandela Effect, and
a case of simply being confused. One way to factor out confusion is
to ask yourself if you remember anything about what was going on at the
time you first heard the news. If you clearly recall having thought
at that time about Jerry Stiller's wife having died when you first heard he
died, that helps anchor your memory as a real memory for you.
Anything else you remember that was going on, such as what time of year it
was based on weather or other events can also provide further clarity that
you indeed did already hear news that Jerry Stiller had died. I do feel
confident that even amidst seemingly chaotic and troubled times like these,
we can experience very positive transformations resulting in overall
improvements.
An Occurrence that Shook Me to My Core
Justin
Little Rock, Arkansas, USA
I'm pretty new to the idea of the Mandela Effect. There was
a change to an occurrence in my personal life that brought this phenomena
to my attention initially. I'll recount the story as briefly as possible.
The story itself is a little grim, but with the "change," the story
actually became much happier if you will. My first job was working at a
pallet shipping company for my father. There were two guys that also
worked there at the time who were brothers. One of the brothers had spent
time incarcerated for manslaughter when he was much younger. I left that
job to attend school full time and lost contact with the brothers between
my freshman and junior years of college. One day I ran into the younger of
the brothers and he told me that his brother was now serving two life
sentences for double homicide (this would be the one who had already served
time). As I sat there shocked, he explained that his brother's girlfriend
became pregnant with someone else's child, and he shot
her—killing both her and the unborn child. I immediately called
my father, and we looked up his page on the state department of corrections
website. Sure enough, we saw the sentencing was double homicide with no
chance of parole. Ten years later, another former coworker phoned to say,
“Hello,” and asked about the two brothers. I
explained the story of the murder; later I received a call from the same
coworker, telling me I'd gotten my facts wrong. He was in prison for
attempted murder. I was in total disbelief, as I fact checked what he told
me. I looked up the case on LexisNexis, and sure enough, the woman and
child were alive! In fact, the woman (in this timeline or what have you)
survived to testify at his trial! It was such a tough pill to swallow.
Dad still believes we just got the "computer stuff wrong" when we
originally looked the guy up, but I know better. The man had been to
prison and subsequently released for actually killing someone, but was now
in for life for attempting the same crime. I hope that wasn't too long or
rambling. Anyway, thank you for your website, and making me feel a little
less crazy. It seems that a lot of people react with near anger when
confronted with the evidence of one of these occurrences. Dad was no
different, and was angrily adamant that I'd made a mistake, even though he
acknowledged remembering that our former coworker had committed double
homicide. I'm not a stupid or insane person, and neither is Dad. Finding
out the "new" facts was pretty traumatizing, and I'm sure that's what he
was feeling when I showed him the new info.
Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sharing this experience
about having heard about a double homicide from a decade earlier that now
apparently never was a double homicide--and now is attempted murder.
This seems like a preferable outcome for all concerned! I can
relate to people thinking you must have gotten your facts wrong ten years
ago, or that you somehow made mistakes when you were doing the computer
research back then. Based on many of the reality shifts I've
personally experienced, this kind of situation seems entirely in keeping
with the magnitude of some of the changes I've seen. It is rather odd to
me that some people react with anger when confronted with one of these
reality shifts. That emotional response would seem indicative that
someone's proverbial "buttons" were pushed--and insistence that there is
only one correct (shared) history may once have been the common
presumption, but it's being currently disproved in quantum physics
experiments, such as the ones I mentioned in my blog posts that took place
in 2019. It's my sincere hope that when we educate future
generations, we can include information about subjective reality being the
"real reality"--and so-called "objectivity" being an old assumption that
was part of western humanity's earlier attempts to make sense of our
cosmos. Here's the article I posted in 2019:
Observers Witness the Same Event Differently https://wp.me/pbqQk-15O
I Am from Another Parallel Universe
Steven
Mesquite, Texas, USA
Friday, April 24th, 2020, I jumped/shifted to a different
version of myself in this universe from my another parallel universe after
I forgot my iPhone. How would I know that I am from another
parallel universe? I can tell you what happened and how I
know. First, I just brought my iPhone with me to the kitchen and
wrote the tracking time and date of my medicine by my iPhone. I
thought I brought my iPhone with me to my living room and left my iPhone
beside me on the couch, watched TV, but I don't know how long I watched TV
until I looked down at the iPhone, and it was gone. I tried not to
get panicked, and know that it must be somewhere in my home, because I
never leave my home. I kept looking for and tried to figure it out
where my iPhone was until I found it in the kitchen. I was
confusing, because I can't recall that if I did. Before I jump to this
universe from my another parallel universe, I just remembered looking at my
tire that got a flat twice times before, and there was no black "notch" cap
that can hold the air, but after jump, it appeared. That is not how
I remember it and I was confused. There is another thing that I was
confused with is my roll up ruler in my computer room. My roll up
orange ruler was in the same spot where the roll up red ruler was.
It was opposite of color. It was supposed to be orange, but it was
red. I was again confused. I remembered perfectly clear
that it was orange where I came from, and that I lost my roll up red ruler
and purchased another new roll up orange ruler. He as me,
lost his roll up orange ruler and had this roll up red ruler. Both
of us did very opposite to the different color of the roll up ruler.
Before I jump, a different version of myself, he did put the black "notch"
cap in the car tire, but I didn't. You missed him, because he
jumped to another parallel universe. I took his place.
Before I jumped to this universe from my parallel universe, a different
version of myself from another parallel universe took my place as well.
There was a small difference you can see and everything looks much the same
between our universes. Yes, driver license, credit cards, etc. are
exact the same. If it happens to you before, you believe me.
If not, you probably don't believe me and that's okay. It's because
you never experience this before and it never occurs to you. I
think that it can happen to some people jumping to the parallel
universe. I remember perfectly clear and it is not a memory
loss. I am not lying or abstracting. The multiverse of
parallel universes are real, because of what happened to me like some
people. I know what is difference between real and unreal.
This is real. To me in your universe, I would assure that all of you are
the same people, but you are a different person or soul inside the same
body as the same people where I came from. It is very much like
twins. That is what I know and how it did happen to me. If you
would like to learn more, you don't have to believe me. I suggest
that you visit the website by www.realityshifters.com to learn more.
I know that it may be hard for you to understand. Maybe one day you
will if it happens or not. Who knows. I remembered praying to God
way back and asked Him to give me a TV signal and let me know that the
parallel universe existed, because of the people's claim that can be
false. One week later, Friday, Sept. 7th, 2018, the TV interrupted
the national news and the anchor lady from the parallel universe appeared
reporting the news, but it was a very complete different parallel universe
and not identical to our both universes. Yes, I mean a very
different parallel universe and it was not the identical to ours.
Then, it stayed on TV for, say, about 10 seconds or more before it
disappeared, and returned to the national news. I would suggest that you
watch the TV movie called "Occupants". It is about the parallel
universe couples. It is semi-fictionalized. I think that it
means half true and half not exactly sure, perhaps untrue or unknown. If
your friends, family members or the strangers tell you of their experience,
what would you do and what to think? If you are a religious person,
you probably think different and not want to do with this until maybe and
maybe one day it can happen to you or not. There is nothing to fear
about.
Small Differences Noticed:
(1) The opposite color of the rulers. It is supposed to be an
orange ruler, but it is red. I lost the red ruler and purchased an
orange ruler and he lost the orange ruler and purchased a red ruler.
(2) iPhone disappeared and recovered. (3) He put an air cap in a
tire, but I didn't. (4) Elaine in your universe died in 1995, but my
teacher, Elaine, from my parallel universe died in 1996. Both of
her died one year apart. (5) Dad's front yard with trees
unrecognized. His small storage building is yellow and I believe
that it is dark brown. Dad from my parallel universe had absolutely
no trees in the front yard. (6) He emailed to Cynthia and said that he
lost an orange ruler. In my parallel universe, I emailed to Cynthia
and said that I lost my red ruler. (7) Walter in your universe died one
day earlier: June 29, 2005. My friend, Walter from my parallel
universe died one day later: June 30, 2005. (8) In downtown
Dallas, I-30 to I-45 north, there are no 5 big light bulbs on top of the
small building. That building doesn’t have an X mark in
each side. Another big building looked similar that has 5 big light bulbs
on top of it and has an X mark in each side of the building. In my
parallel universe, the small building does have 5 big light bulbs on top of
it and has an X mark in each side of the building. I
didn’t think I have recognized another building that changes the
different color of light during the night. The both buildings with
an X mark in each side and have 5 big light bulbs on top on it, are
reversed. The unrecognized building that changes the color of light
believed to be the big building that has 5 big light bulbs on top of it and
has an X mark in each side. (9) The unrecognized small tree in my
front yard. I didn't pay attention until I saw an unrecognized
small tree. Absolutely no small tree in my front yard where I came
from. When I was on the street going to park my car in the front of
my house that reminded me of where I came from. In my parallel
universe, I saw my next door's cars parked in the front of their house and
there was no small tree in my front yard beside their cars. Yes, I
remember.
Note from Cynthia: I love the way you provide details of various
things that you can remember quite well and clearly that are definitely
different now. I can relate to so many of the examples you cite,
with the exception (so far!) of seeing someone reporting the news from a
different reality. This could happen, though, and I wouldn't notice
it, since I am not consistent about watching news channels on a regular
basis--those kinds of changes are simply 'off my radar' at this time.
There likely will be an increase in TV shows and movies covering this
topic, and hopefully doing so in ways that are in keeping with what so many
of us have been observing and reporting on for so long.
