Actually he challenges the supernatural explanations for this phenomena and tries to put it in the realm of materialistic science. He's basically saying that with the current understanding of materialistic science it allows for us to create these events ourselves through pattern recognition and by being able to control 3-6 percent of our environment naturally. He says it's us who are causing the events, and it has alot to do with the subconscious processing. I find it very interesting because many time it does feel like I'm actually causing the events to happen with my own thoughts instead of just predicting them. It's as if I'm putting them in the air myself.
And it never happens when I consciously force it, it's always when I'm in a subconscious state. It's like while in this subconscious state something tells me something is going to happen next and then it's all automatic and happens in the next seconds. But you never can force it. Everybody who has gone through this have said similar things, so it's worth looking into for a good discussion.
Kirby explains it alot better than me. But his explanation is veryone of the only reasons I've not ended my life over this. I would love for a rational person like you and others here to check it out and let me know your opinion so we can have a discussion over it.
I also look forward to hearing from more people who have experienced these things wheather through drug use, mental illness or just occasionally with a healthy mind.
in the past i used to think of this as being caused by the RAS The reticular activating system
but the RAS theory does not explain how it can happen to think of somebody you have not met for 10 years and suddenly meeting them or being broke telling nobody and suddenly getting an old check from your ex-employer.. confirmation bias? selection bias? i mean those would explain random things in daily life and pattern recognition but not snychronicities where you suddenly meet an old friend you havent seen for 10 years (on a distant holiday island) the same day you were randomly thinking of him

there are many rational theories trying to exlain such things by logic yet none has managed to fill in the gaps
