Can Anyone Explain 6 Recent Synchronicities Dating Back to Napoleon in 1815?

On June 2, 2024, during an AA meeting, I asked a guy name Jack if he wanted to share, and he humorously replied, “Not tonight, Josephine.” My name is John!

Later that day, I spoke with my ex-wife, who mentioned her new boyfriend was super nice but short, less than 5’6”. This led me to ask if she had seen the movie “Napoleon.” We chuckled and moved on.

June 3, I saw a post on Facebook with a picture of the Storming of the Bastille, a key event in the French Revolution and Napoleon’s rise. Napoleon was just under 5’6″ and reportedly once said, “Not tonight, Josephine.”

June 9, without any online searching, I received an email from Zinqué, a French restaurant in Los Angeles, about a Bastille Day event on July 14. Bastille Day commemorates the 1789 Storming of the Bastille. I had booked once in 2023.

July 11, I started to discuss these synchronicities, including the mention of another event involving Tristan da Cunha, one of the most remote islands in the world, 1,500 miles from St. Helena. Someone interjected when they heard the name St. Helena, saying that is where Napoleon was exiled in 1815.

The synchronicity involving Tristan da Cunha was: In 2015, while reminiscing and tracing my route to the Falklands War in 1982, I discovered Tristan da Cunha on a map. We had traveled from Southampton to Africa, then Ascension Island, and on to South Georgia in Antarctica before reaching the Falklands. My son was born 17 years before I knew of this island; his name is Tristan.
