The conscious mind had nothing to do with this. He strongly wished for the friend’s presence. The wish became reality. You must understand the rules that apply. For they apply whether or not you understand them, and whether or not the wish is one that you really want fulfilled.

(4th Question: What’s that four plus one? “Four plus one life. Vito.” This is enigmatic to us, although the Vito connection is clear. Vito is one of the sons in the D’Andreano family and was married a couple of years ago. Thus Jane returned here to the wedding idea through the D’Andreano family.
