In Isaan at least, animism is mixed with Buddhism. I have studied Buddhism and Hinduism as well as reading about such mystics as Ramana Maharshi and Papa Ji for around 30 years. The psychologist Carl Jung's synchronicity's had a flavour of the mystics teachings. It is about synchronicity that I am writing now. Sometime ago I had a worrying email from my ex German company concerning my company pension and taxation, it was complicated and here there was no German tax consultant, it was also years end so trying to find a German tax consultant online was almost impossible as everyone was filing their tax claims. I eventually found a firm who gave me one of their students. She asked me to email various documents which I did, she told me this could take several weeks (I needed help ASAP). I idly went on to youtube and there was a serious spiritual teacher that I was familiar with talking about giving up a particular problem to the cosmos. One must meditate, calmly explain the problem, give it up to the cosmos, it is no longer your problem, one must have faith and definitely no longer worry, you don't have this problem. I meditate daily so I went to the temple lake, sat down, cleared my mind, explained the problem and told the cosmos I am giving the problem to you to solve. I walked back home, for a few seconds the worry came up but I banished it immediately. When I got home (I had left the computer running) there was an email from the consulting firm, she wrote that my company was mistaken, a new law that year had taken the responsibility from me to the company I need do nothing, the info was free of charge. yeay cosmos.
