Octopus

Octopi = 8. Maybe think along these lines...
The Eight-Fold Path of Buddhism
The eight steps are:

Right view – This is the starting point of the eightfold path. Right view is being able to see that the whole world is filled with suffering and discontent and according to Bodian and Landaw the way to improve the situation is, “to cultivate the insightful wisdom that maintains this correct view.”
Right intentions – This step involves giving up attitudes that are self-centered or corrupt. Replacing these incorrect intentions or thoughts with ones of selflessness and compassion will help in bringing happiness and ending suffering and distress.According to Bhikku Bodhi, these two steps make up the Wisdom group of the Noble Eightfold Path.
Right speech – This means that one should use the right or positive words when talking to others or about them. Negative, harsh language reflects one’s thoughts and inner state. Therefore, it is important to replace it with pleasant, kind and compassionate words.
Right action – The right action means acting in a way that is positive to others and brings joy and happiness.
Right livelihood – While one can earn a living in a variety of ways, the right livelihood is essentially a profession in which one can be of service to others or at least make sure that one’s work is honest and compassionate.Bhikku Bodhi has classified these three steps of right speech, right action and right livelihood into the Moral Discipline group.
Right effort – This step refers to one’s spiritual practice. It is important to exert in a wholesome manner to introspect and reflect on one’s spiritual progress. As Bhikku Bodhi says, “The reason why effort is so crucial is that each person has to work out his or her own deliverance.”
Right mindfulness – Mindfulness is attentiveness or awareness. Bodian and Landaw write that it is important not to dwell in the past or imagine the future; rather one should focus on the present moment.
Right concentration – Acute concentration is required in order to develop the insight needed to understand reality. According to McClain and Adamson, right concentration means working on achieving a one-pointed mind. In order words, it is being able to focus complete, unwavering attention on any object or task.

I walked over a piece of pavement art the other day in a town to the west of Malaga and it was of an Octopus. On the way back I thought that passing over it again there was a message in the passing of it. I then dismissed the idea and I had passed over about 4 other pieces of of pavement art in the vicinity, twice also.

Anyway it is just odd that I was compelled to wonder about a meaning to the octopus. Does any of your Octopus synchronicity involve an "eye"? Not sure why it would but there was a link to an eye both times I passed the Octopus.

As I said in my subject box - Random! And perhaps unrelated but its worth checking.

Wilba I get the same thing with the doodle synchronicity, I can't remember any examples in detail, I wrote them down in a book somewhere - the most surprising instance was when I was doodling something (also while watching youtube) without paying much attention or having any design in mind, and then realised that I had dreamt something relating to it the night before, and that the doodle actually addressed and answered the questions that had been raised by the dream. There were three questions I think, which annoyingly I dont have to hand right now - but the doodle answered them so elegantly

Sorry, don't know much about octopi - but I just did a quick search and wiki threw up this:
The Hawaiian creation myth relates that the present cosmos is only the last of a series, having arisen in stages from the wreck of the previous universe. In this account, the octopus is the lone survivor of the previous, alien universe.
