Coincidences are like road flares


We cannot even imagine the complex forces behind every event that occurs in our lives. There’s a conspiracy of coincidences that weaves the web of karma or destiny and creates an individual’s personal life–mine, or yours. Usually we see only cause-and-effect relationships: This causes that, which causes this, which causes that–linear trajectories. Yet beneath the surface, something else is happening.

Invisible to us is a whole web of connections. As it becomes apparent, we see how our intentions are woven into this web,
which is much more context-bound, much more relational, much more holistic, much more nurturing than our surface experience.
Very often we fall into ruts in our lives; we maintain the same routines and act in the same manner predictably day after day after day. We set our minds on a certain course of action, and simply proceed. How can miracles happen if we march mindlessly, unthinking and unaware, through our lives?
Coincidences are like road flares, calling our attention to something important in our lives, glimpses of what goes on beyond everyday distractions. We can choose to ignore those flares and hurry on, or we can pay attention to them and live out the miracle that is waiting for us.
This is not the real reality. The real reality is behind the curtain. In truth, we are not here. This is our shadow. What we experience as everyday reality is merely a shadow play. Behind the curtain there is a soul, living and dynamic and immortal, beyond the reach of space and time. By acting from that level, we can consciously influence our destiny.
In synchrodestiny, we consciously participate in the creation of our lives by understanding the world that is beyond our senses, the world of the soul. -wateen.net
