Does your phone read your mind? Mine does. No question about it!
I mean, we have known for years that “big brother” is watching us. Listening in on our conversations and spying on us through our electronics. But it has gone so much farther than that. I have proof that my phone can read my mind!
Oh, wait…I need to take my phone into the other room and disconnect from the internet.
Ok…anyway, I was saying that our electronics are so advanced that I’m not sure anymore if I’m using them or if they’re using me!
I realize that G-o-0g-l3 (scrambled the name on purpose), anyway—I realize that all my electronics are signed into G-o-0g-l3, so I’m not surprised when I start searching something on my phone it begins to show up in my search suggestions on my computer.
And I can almost understand it when I go to a furniture store and I start receiving ads the next day for furniture through G-o-0g-l3 ads. I assume it’s because I’m being tracked by G-o-0g-l3 maps.
Or if I’m talking on my phone or I go out to lunch with someone and our phones are laying on the table, G-o-0g-l3 is using some kind of spyware to listen in so they can send me “targeted ads”.
But here recently it’s been much creepier than that!
Wait…I saw a small light flicker in the corner of my computer. Let me encrypt this page. I’ll be right back.
Ok, so I was saying that I can understand that G-o-0g-l3 may be able to pick up on some of the activities I’m doing and start loading my FB feeds and sidebar ads with their targeted suggestions, but here lately things are showing up that I don’t even talk to anyone about, or haven’t even researched online.
I know I sound paranoid, but it’s happened on at least 3 occasions!
The 1st time I thought it was just a coincidence. I had been watching a lot of Y0utoob (disguising the name) about keto and low carb dieting. And I “thought” (didn’t say anything, just thought about it), but I thought, “I wonder if this diet would have a negative effect on me since I don’t have a gall bladder?”
I had that thought while I was fixing dinner, and before I went to bed that evening I received this link from Thomas DeLauer, “Tips for Keto with no Gallbladder”.
Hmm, that was convenient, I didn’t even have to search for it.
A week or so later, I was a little discouraged, maybe just disappointed, that although I was losing weight, I wasn’t losing it as quickly as I had hoped. So, as I was standing in front of the mirror I thought, “I wish I could do something to quickly get rid of my belly fat.”
The next time I opened my phone I noticed a link of a video was sent to me from Dr. Berg called, “How to Lose Belly fat: FAST!
Seriously? I mean, that’s a coincidence. Right?
But when it happened the third time, I knew someone or something was somehow tapping into my brain waves and reading my mind!!
A few nights ago I was getting ready for bed and I thought, “Apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss. I wonder how much I should drink and how often?” By the time I got out of the shower the next morning, I had a notice from Y0utoob sharing a link from Dr. Nick Zyrowski called, “How Much Apple Cider Vinegar Should You Drink?” And the next video that popped up was another video of his called, “When To Drink Apple Cider Vinegar For Best Results”.
Coincidence? Or just creepy?!
I don’t know how it’s happening. How can my phone be reading my mind? Wait…it’s an A-p=pl3 phone (misspelled). And we all know the symbolism of the original A-p=pl3 and how it was used to deceive mankind.
Maybe my A-p=pl3 phone is trying to control my life. Maybe it’s not really my idea to be eating the keto diet. Maybe G-o-0g-l3, A-p=pl3, and Y0utoob are so advanced in artificial intelligence that they are taking over my mind and making me believe that the things I am watching and reading and buying are my ideas.
What other reason would there be for being able to put things on my phone that I was only thinking about? How else would they know what was in my mind?
I mean, it’s not like I talk out loud to myself, right?
Hmm, “Hey Siri, do I talk to myself out loud.”
Siri: “I don’t have an opinion on that.”
Yeah, right. Just another diversion tactic.

I would say this is creepy! I know exactly what you mean about stuff popping up that we were thinking about and ads being related to something we searched for. It’s weird and sometimes I get nervous about what I was searching for and buying stuff online. My phone is way tooo smart and I feel like sometimes I’m addicted to it and rely on it for so much.
I know EXACTLY what you are saying. I was talking to my friend the other night and she mentioned buying a weight set at Costco real cheap. I “thought” while she was talking I wonder if I could get one for my house so I proceeded to look up on Am@zon. For some reason Am@zon is making me type in an encrypted code before I can search. So I do that and before I know it when the search page came up it already had “weight sets” in the search bar and I definitely had not searched that yet . It’s one thing to listen to our conversations but I don’t like them in my head!
I found this article as an answer as to me in the past year has happened the same things. My office is in two rooms – from one room I am working on my projects but in other room Im relaxing. Both has tv, connected to my wifi. Often when I am in one room working on something and thinking of a solutions – when I enter other room playing youtube constantly on the background – like way too often – there are ads displaying my thoughts. That made me think I’m paranoyic however I the more it happens the more I see its not a coincidence.
I’ve known about this for years, but at first i thought I was going insane.
But then little things started happening (especially with YouTube) like there were many times that I would just think of a song or video that i would like to hear or watch.
And sure enough (with out saying a word,)the song would pop up in my YouTube recommendations.
This has happened several times.
Even right now as I’m typing, sure enough Google’s keyboard(g-board) is literally picking up every word I’m typing right now,and I’m not saying a word.
So i KNOW for a fact that the phone is reading my mind.
Even through out this entire comment,i hardly had to type more than a a couple of letters (if i had to type anything at all) because Google is hacking into my mind to
Just automatically put in the word I’m thinking about.
This whole comment (even though I’m writing it) i hardly had to type at all because Google’s”predictive text”
Is writing it for me.
Now tell me that’s not messed up.
I realize you wrote this 2 years ago, but if you do read this, I can concur this is true for me all the time. I specifically notice thinking of things I’ve never mentioned or searched for being suggested in ad popups, etc. Just this morning I noticed my husband outside emptying the contents of a used milk crate and wondered what he was emptying it of. Not long after, I got an ad for milk crates. Never spoke it out loud. Never asked him about it. This has happened so many times for me. Technology is Further advanced than they want us to know.
That’s creepy, isn’t it? How in the world is that possible? 🤷♀️
It is messed up! But I guess we use it to our advantage, too. 😁
Yeah…I don’t know how it’s possible, but it’s happening! 😱
It’s not possible for any entity other than God to read our thoughts. We can be assured and comforted by this. A lot of the ads you mentioned are common clickbait ads. Google will never be able to read our thoughts. That being said, our phones have become an extension of our brains and in that regard, Google (Facebook, etc.) knows our thoughts (our emails, our searches, our purchases, etc.).
I found your article because this just happened to me. I don’t understand how this can be happening. It’s not algorithms because the synchronicity is related to things I have never searched online & don’t relate to my consumer profile.
