We have all experienced coincidence

that seem extraordinary. Perhaps yo

were on your bike and collided with

another rider in front of a small cafyoud never noticed before. Later in

the week, you decide to eat lunch

there and end up meeting your

future wife at the next table. Or

maybe you pick up the Sundayclassified ads for no apparent reason

and notice a job opening that

interests you. A couple of weeks later

you find out that your corporation i

laying off everyone in your division.You suddenly remember the ad you

saw, and decide to apply. You go for

the interview and the new company

offers you an even better position

that hadnt been advertised. TheSwiss psychologist Jung coined a

word to describe these moments of

meaningful coincidence:

synchronicity.


3/9

Asynchronicityis a coming together of

seemingly unconnected events. If you

focus your attention, you may

recognize that your life is shaped by

those moments of meaningful

coincidences. You may even be able to

nurture and participate in those

moments in a positive way. Together,this awareness and intention make up

what I call your SynchroDestiny.

In any aspect of life, attention and

awareness foster growth. Whenever you

focus your attention on a subject or

phenomenon, the object of your

attention will grow stronger. The more

you become aware of meaningful

coincidences in your life, the more

often you will encounter them.

Moreover, meaningful coincidences are

well worth your attention. According t

Vedic tradition, there are two

characteristics that define a person on

the path towards enlightenment: First,

a sense that worries are disappearing.

Things may go wrong, but they dont

bother you anymore. Second, in every

area of your life, you become aware of a

growing number of synchronicities.

Most people experience at least onecoincidence in their lives during a

single day. If you do not, dont worry.

Just cultivate an attitude of relaxed

attention and intention. Nature is built

on an infinite number of coincidences,

and their presence in your life will soon

become apparent.

The Nature of

SynchroDestinyWhenever coincidences present

themselves, you can dismiss them as

meaningless or choose to recognize

their amazing potential. In reality, lifes

coincidences arent random occurrences

in a chaotic universe they are clues to

fulfilling your deepest dreams and

desires.

Each of us is connected to the field of

infinite intelligence that endlessly

creates all the physical forms in the

world. When we awaken to the true

nature of creation, we become aware of

the eternal patterns and rhythms that

govern life. We also realize that the

universe is constantly sending usmessages in the form of serendipitous

events. In fact, were completely

immersed in a web of coincidences that

guides us to fulfill our dharmaor

purpose in life.

At this very instant, your destiny has

led you to read these words. The fact

that you chose this magazine and thisarticle is a coincidence, offering

potentially life-transforming

opportunities. What circumstances led

to this moment? Why are you perusing

this article instead of one of countless

others out there? What are you

beginning to dream about creating in

your life?

Awakening to the Field of Pure PotentialityThe word SynchroDestinyexpresses awareness of a developing pattern in the even

of our lives. Of course, SynchroDestiny is also more than just awareness. Awarenes

is not an end in itself. SynchroDestiny also means understanding and participating

in the process of meaningful coincidence. It means lending your attention and

intention in order to bring the process to fruition. When this happens, the result i

phrase that Ive used many times in my books and lectures: the spontaneousfulfillment of desire in the field of infinite possibilities. Here I want to discuss the

different categories of responses that are open to you when you encounter a mome

of meaningful coincidence. This will illuminate what I mean by the spontaneous

fulfillment of desire in the field of infinite possibilities.

Suppose you suddenly encounter a synchronistic moment. Lets say youre at the

public library, and for some reason youre thinking about how you would like to

have a bit more spending money. Right at that moment, you take a book from one

of the shelves, and a hundred dollar bill falls out. This actually happened to a frienof mine.

What kinds of responses are open to you at a moment like that? At one extreme,

you can always say its just a coincidence. It means nothing. Its amusing, but

insignificant. You have another hundred dollars to spend and thats all.

On the other extreme, you might think: This is the most fantastic thing thats ever

happened! This is going to change everything!Or maybe you conclude:All I have to d

is want something and it will appear! Im going to the racetrack! Im going to Las Vegas!

Of course, it doesnt really work that way. SynchroDestiny is not about waving a

magic wand to gratify ego-based wants. It is about something very different

the fulfillment of intentions that exist at much deeper levels, and of desires that

are based in spirit rather than ego.

To take another example, imagine that youre walking and see a beautiful rose

growing along the road. It will look really great pinned onto your jacket or your

blouse and you want it. Should you pull the rose off the bush? If you do, thatsjust an ego-based action. Its obviously not SynchroDestiny. What if you look at

the rose and at that very moment it falls off the bush? If that kindles a kind of

ego greed in you, then thats not SynchroDestiny either. If you suddenly think

youve become the master of the universe, thats not what would be called a

positive transformation.

Lets say youre admiring the rose, and you hold your hand under it, and then it

just falls down into your hand. You think: Something wonderful and beautiful

just happened. It seems to be a kind of flowing together of what is in me and what is

in the rose bush. It was unforced, but there was an intention present in me and Id

like to know more about how this happened and what it means. Id like to bring

more of these moments into my life. Id like to see where they lead me. Id like tolearn what they have to teach me.

This is the frame of mind that fosters SynchroDestiny. This is setting the stage

for the spontaneous fulfillment of desire. Most people would call this a spiritual

point of view, but its actually closely related to the insights of modern physics.

SynchroDestiny and

the Conscious Energy FieldAlthough synchronicities may seem like events that just happen by themselves,

SynchroDestiny is definitely something that must be learned. But this shouldntseem at all intimidating. After all, many things that we take for granted in our

everyday lives are actually learned behaviors and responses. Even the nature of

the physical world is something that we learn during early childhood. We are

told that the whole truth about things is available to our senses. Thus, when

you look at a table, what you see is exactly whats there in space and time. Its a

piece of solid matter composed of smaller pieces of solid matter all the way

down to the level of subatomic particles. This is a materialist interpretation of

reality. Its the way almost everyone lives day in and day out.

There is another philosophy, according to which, the world that we perceive

through our senses is only a version of a deeper reality. The Greek philosophers

Socrates and Plato, for example, taught that the world of our senses is a

distortion, a mirage like a shadow playing across a wall. Many historians

believe that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual thinkers from India, where the

idea of a deeper reality has a very long history. In Sanskrit the word mayarefers to

the illusion that we perceive as the true nature of things through our senses. But

were really seeing only a selective view of reality. Thats because beyond the manifest

physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence that

orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground-state of creation is

the conscious energy field.

The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our perception of it. In

other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both transmitters and receivers of

information. We are both the creation and the creators of the conscious energy field.

We are participants in a consciousness-created universe. This doesnt mean that

theres no external reality, or that the universe literally takes place inside our heads.

What it means is that the physical universe has no qualities or attributes in the

absence of a conscious observer.

For example, we see color as an attribute of physical reality. When we look at an

American flag, we see red, white, and blue. When we look at the grass, we see green.

But colors are not really inherent to the reality. Instead, the phenomenon of color is

a response made by the human nervous system to stimuli from the environment.

We experience color as if its happening outside us, but were actually projecting itfrom inside us. Color does not exist in the absence of our observations. We create

the phenomenon of color in the conscious energy field. And we can create other

phenomena as well, including meaningful coincidences.

Tapping into the Power of IntentionThe power of intention is a critical factor in all areas of life. Simply by intending to

create synchronicity in your life, you can nurture that result. In Vedic teaching,

there is an important concept relating

to spiritual evolution and the role that

cosmic intention plays in our lives. Thi

is the concept ofdharma, and

understanding what dharma means, is

essential to bringing synchronicity into

your life. Dharma is a Sanskrit word

that refers to the natural path a person

is intended to follow through life. Your

dharma is your destiny but it is

destiny without any hint of compulsion

or force. On the contrary, your dharma

is the path of least resistance. Its the

course that is most right and most

nourishing that brings you the

greatest fulfillment and the most

happiness.

Each of us has a gift, a special purpose

that we alone can give to the world.

This is our individual dharma. We are

meant to discover and share this uniqu

gift. When we do, we have achieved ou

true purpose in life. If you are in

harmony with your dharma, you will

always remain anchored in a sense of

purpose and meaning.

There is another

philosophy,according to which,

the world that we

perceive through

our senses is only a

version of a deeper

reality.

Realizing that youre connected to a

network of coincidences is only the first

stage in learning to access the field of

pure potentiality. In the second stage,

you begin to recognize coincidences

while theyre happening rather than just

in hindsight. From this state of higher

consciousness, youre better positionedto take advantage of the opportunities

that present themselves.

Exercises: To nurturecoincidences and become aware of

opportunities, you can begin by using a

few simple techniques:

When a coincidence happens,n

dont ignore it. Instead, ask yourself,

What is the message here? What is thesignificance of this event?Dont strain

for the answer: Just ask the question

and the answer will come easily. It may

arrive as a sudden insight, a chance

encounter, a relationship, or in another

way. Whatever form the response

takes, youll immediately know that

youre receiving an important clue.

Focus on one of your five sensesn

sight, taste, hearing, touch, smell

for a minute or two each day.

Notice as many different aspects of this

sense as you can. When a powerful or

unusual stimulus draws your attention,

focus on it, for this is what you need to

look at most closely. As you become

more sensitive to your environment,

youll become more sensitive to the

messages coming your way.

Keep a journal of yourn

coincidences. Writing down thecoincidences you experience, whether

tiny or huge, encourages more of them

to unfold. More coincidences provide

more clues to guide your actions and

more possibilities for fulfillment.

The more you notice and appreciate

coincidences, the more likely they are

to appear. And as your awareness
