SynchroDestiny

by Dr. Deepak Chopra

We have all experienced coincidences that seemed extraordinary. Perhaps you were out on your bike and collided with another rider in front of a small café you'd 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 Sunday classified ads for no apparent reason and notice a job opening that interests you. A couple of weeks later you find out that your corporation is 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 they hadn't advertised yet.

Whenever such coincidences happen to us, we can dismiss them as random or choose to recognize their amazing potential. We can pay attention and try to hear their messages more clearly. Life's coincidences aren't meaningless occurrences in a chaotic universe: They are clues to discovering our path to fulfillment.

You can change the world

Author and teacher Guy Finley offers timeless inspiration about how we can all be agents of change in this modern world. And he describes five simple exercises we can use to become fully aware of ourselves in moments of trial, so we can wake up, and then dare to do the "light thing".

by Guy Finley

A great secret rests inside the heart of every human being:

Each of us is created with the power to change the whole world.

Every human being is born into this world with a nascent interior light. We can think of this light as the power of higher conscience, by whose compassionate intelligence we learn to discern what is helpful from what is harmful - to intuitively know the difference between what is good and true, and what is dark and destructive.
