Synchrodestiny and Coincidences
“We live like actors in a play who are given only one line at a time, going through the motions without understanding the full story. But when you get in touch with your soul, you see the whole script for the drama.”
― Deepak Chopra

The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire | Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence | Deepak Chopra | 2003 | Non Fiction
Have you ever had any of these things happen to you?
You are sitting around doing not much of anything except thinking of your BFF and then RING RING - there they are!
Or you have a deep longing to go somewhere or see someone and then POOF the unforeseen conspires and suddenly there it is in your life
Or you come up with a plan or solution to an issue and your partner, college or friend comes up with the plan at the exact same time
These all fall under the realm of coincidence and are often filed as such and relegated to deep storage never to surface again
According to the Cambridge Dictionary the definition of coincidence is ‘an occasion when two or more similar things happen at the same time, especially in a way that is unlikely and surprising’
According to Chopra when things happen at the same time (synchronistically) it is actually a glimpse of something where past and present and future are all one - wth?? (I am in!)
As Chopra expressed in the book ‘coincidences are meaningful, and they actually provide us with glimpses of the field of infinite possibilities that lies at the heart of all things and by gaining access to this wellspring of creation, we can literally rewrite our destinies in any way we wish’
Coincidences can be recognized as containing precious clues about particular facets of our lives that require our attention and ss you become more aware of coincidences and their meanings, you begin to connect more and more with the underlying field of infinite possibilities
Chopra believes that this is when the magic begins - when you achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of desire
I enjoy reading his books and this one is no exception (I have read it several times) - Chopra takes you on a terrific ride through mind, matter and spirit to nature and intention and on to desire and archetypes - part two of this gem covers meditation and mantras and 7 principles to help you connect deeply to your inner wisdom and dance with the cosmos
One of the BIG questions Chopra likes to ask in this book is ‘If you knew that miracles could happen, what miracles would you wish for?’
This leads to his concept of ‘synchrodestiny’ and states of consciousness - there is too much here to dive into but if this has caught your attention I highly recommend picking a copy up
He leaves the reader in a curious state ending with ‘although the ideas presented in this book can be the beginning of a lifetime of personal evolution and fulfillment, it’s up to you to choose whether or not to penetrate the conspiracy of improbabilities and find the hidden treasure that lies behind it’…
