Synchrodestiny

Synchrodestiny was first introduced to me by Deepak Chopra at a seminar I attended in San Francisco many moons ago. The term borrows from the term first coined by the British musical group, the Police (just kidding), by Jung. Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance and that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner. (wikipedia)

Example: The French writer Émile Deschamps claims in his memoirs that, in 1805, he was treated to some plum pudding by a stranger named Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, the writer encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him that the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fontgibu. Many years later, in 1832, Deschamps was at a dinner and once again ordered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete—and in the same instant, the now senile de Fontgibu entered the room. (Wikipedia) Deepak believes that events similar to what happened to Emile Deschamps are signals of the cosmos to guide us on our path and should not be ignored. What these events mean are a matter of interpretation, specifically to the subject. I am not certain of the relationship between Deschamps and de Fontgibu was, perhaps they only shared a passion for plum pudding.

Whatever it might have been, Deepak stresses that it should not be dismissed as mere coincidence. He explains the concept fully in "The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire", but I will go over what I took from it. 1. Pay Attention and Ask Yourself What it Might Mean Similar to detective work, I believe coincidences, deja vu's, are clues to our destiny. A belief not shared by Deepak (from what I have read of him) but one that I share from the psychic, Sylvia Browne, is that before we are born we plot our lives, from the family we have, to the tragedies we face, etc. While at times on the Earth we feel there is no direction, or that we lack a path, I believe coincidences are lampposts in our lives to illuminate the courses we should take. Using the Deschamps example, Emile should have gotten off his seat and approached the Monsieur and asked "what's up?", in current lingo. Synchrodestiny is identical to the lore of the New Age classic's, the Celestine Prophecy, First Insight, "become conscious of the coincidences in our lives". 2. Don't overcook it In other words, Deschamp's shouldn't have gone up to the Monsieur, grabbed the coat he was wearing and shake him, "Give me the message! You must have a message for me!" Back off! Maybe just explain the dude the coincidence you had. Sometimes, they might only be significant to you. Maybe the other person won't buy into your New Age wackiness. 3. Comfort Be patient. Don't force things. And take comfort when they do arrive you are not alone, that there is a path for you and follow the clues. You won't be disappointed.
