There is not a lot to be impressed by. Religion has festered, because it keeps people down and away from growth and personal empowerment. It is a tool that then gets misused and manipulated for power and control over others.

The only religion(s) that I have found to be impressive are the Native Americans approach to spirituality. It is devoid of judgment, very much (from what I know) based in the cycle of life. They are also a very peaceful people. I think that the Cherokees were the main tribe who were actually capable of violence.
Also, many Native Americans recognize and cherish and revere those unique individuals of "the third gender".

Prove that sentience begins when you say it does.
—————————
Sentience is not something that can be proven. It just is and either it's something that you connect with or you don't. And I am very happy and grateful to be one of those who vibrates along the wavelength of synchronicity as it lives in the wild.

I believe it happens the moment your level of awareness is able to take it in. The first time I became aware of synchronous energy was about 20 years ago. It was Winter in Chicago and I was riding the 'L' home. I missed my regular stop, got off at the next stop. I was thinking to myself that I wish I could get in with the Chicago Public School System so I could substitute teach and make some extra money. I got off the train maybe five blocks north of the building I lived in, I turned the corner, walked half a block South, saw a large elementary school building ahead and looked up at the marquee which read "Substitute Teachers Wanted, call 773-553-####". I probably got chills. I can't remember, but it was something I felt to disregard would be foolish in the extreme. Of course, I followed through.
Ever since then I get these signs several times a year, some of them are more/less magnificent than others, but I respect and cherish every single one of them. It is my choice to pay heed. Not everybody is going to look at it the same way. And that's fine.

If that belief were true that I think an argument can be made that some people NEVER achieve it.

You have to be open to it. That's about the most I can say about that part of it.
I think that skeptics and cynics would be the ones who will never experience synchronicity. And for better or for worse, I am not a cynical person. I feel that I am a very receptive person.
I don't know if the following story counts as synchronicity exactly. But it's exhilarating in much the same way. I went out to Hollywood for a vacation several years ago. One afternoon I was walking down Santa Monica Blvd. and who did I see walking down the street with a female friend and her chihuahua but Dyan Cannon. So that was kind of a kick on its own, but it gets a whole lot more interesting.
Later that evening I went to Musso and Frank's Grill with this guy I had met. But in the back of my head, I can't wait to tell my similarly starstruck friend back home who I had seen walking down the street earlier that day. I excused myself and went to the bathroom, securing myself in a stall to call my friend with some privacy to talk. So I said "Guess what movie star I saw today" and he took about three seconds and said out of nowhere "Dyan Cannon". I flipped out. We both did.
Ever since then, whenever my friend and I experience something similar (though never quite as stunning), we call it a "Dyan Cannon". And I guess I would say that counts as synchronicity as me and my friend were on the same wavelength in that one moment in time.
Dyan Cannon. Wow. I mean what are the chances? And there you have it.

Soul Venal isn't interested Mr. Hutch. He's not genuine compassionate, nor does he fully understand synchronicity, unless it's something to do with the bible and made up Christian god.

—————
Yeah, I guess not. He didn't say anything about my Dyan Cannon story. Oh, well. No biggie. Most people probably are not going to feel much about it either way.
The whole experience was very much a personal thing. It probably didn't do me any good to relay it here. I can't and really don't expect 95% to feel anything close to what I felt when it happened.
But certainly not all people!

Like you mentioned the other day, all is in order with the universe. For your eyes and few others only and for those that are receptive to your being.
The world is full of phenomena and it goes way beyond the objective sense of reality. Synchronicity allows one to look closer and deeper.

Sentience is your human physical being whacko, once birthed! Hutch is more referring to synchronicity, which one has to be sentient to even be aware of. Go f<>k yourself nutjob!

Yes, I guess I careened off topic a bit. I was thinking sentience and synchronicity were similar. I just looked up the definition of sentience –
Sentience is the capacity to experience feelings and sensations
I was way off. [shrugs]
