The Path of Synchronicity
In these pages I’ll be moving beyond these merely anecdotal stories of good luck and coincidence and suggesting that when we look at such events on their own they are hard to understand, but that often we can trace an underlying pattern. And it is the pattern of small and large nudges we get from chance and luck and fate that we may need to pay attention to. If we become conscious of what is happening to us we’ll see such gifts everywhere, and realize that synchronicity is beckoning to us.
And once we see it, we may have to respond to its call.
What we’ll find may surprise us, so I’ll spell it out now. We’ll see that to get into the flow of synchronicity we need to do three things.
The Three Things We Must Do:
First, we must trust that there is an energy in the universe that exists, and that it has a plan to use us to benefit our world. That trust has to be a deep trust.
Second, we must be prepared to notice when this energy gives us help, and be alert to the many ways it can operate. If we’re unaware of its methods we may stop noticing how it comes into our lives. If we’re ignorant we can’t work with what arrives in terms of opportunity. Plenty of people are waiting for their ‘big break’. It’s a waste of time. The big break only ever happens because there were a lot of little breaks first, ones that someone worked at with plenty of energy and trust.
Third, we must expect to be used by this synchronous energy in ways that seem to be counter-logical. The universe has a plan and we must learn to roll with it and do our part. So we have to let go of ego expectations and rewards. There will be rewards, but they probably won’t be what we imagine. They’ll be better. So don’t set your heart on being an astronaut and be stubborn about it. Set your heart intention and then listen, pay attention, and see if that actually meshes with what the world sends you. If you’re color blind NASA won’t take you, no matter how much you may wish for it. But there will be another opening that is perfect for you – if you pay attention.
Deepak Chopra described this eloquently in the interview he did with Jean Houston. I’ve laid out the paragraphs below so it’s easier to see the main ideas.
”In India there is a tradition in the Vedanta where they say that you experience synchronicity when you have Ritam Bara Pragyan. Ritam is the word for rhythm, order of the universe; Bara means ‘full of’; Pragyan means ‘mind’.
