Page 73 of "Life At the Dakota: New York's Most Unusual Address" says only exterior shots were filmed by Polanski, save for the carriage entrance/courtyard where the 'suicide scene' was filmed. The views in the movie could be from any of the builidings on Central Park West.
You're right about that,some of the scenes were filmed in LA.,but John moved into the Rosemarys Baby suite,either they filmed some of the scenes in there,or they copied one of the rooms for their LA. shoot,Ive alway heard both stories myself,but I was always confused by the fact that there is a Rosemarys Baby room in the Dakota,perhaps we are both right,they didnt shoot inside,but they named a room after the movie,in which John moved into thats a fact.
There's something to synchronicity--but I think it has to do with the ultimately subjective nature of reality. Of course things are synchronous--that's the way the mind works, it is constantly synchronizing disparate events into seamless, and hopefully, meaningful wholes. Lennon seems preoccupied with this idea-intuitively in songs like "good morning" "across the universe" or "I am the walrus." Out of the chaos and cacophany comes the momentary order of the refrain.
I suggest Deepak look at the poetry of Wallace Stevens or William Carlos Williams--they both wrestled creatively with the formation of order out of the chaos of phenomena and the mind's ability to facilitate the process (and at the same time get in the way of it).
There's no "magick" out there. It's the wonder of your own consciousness!
