this is part of a multi-part series on discernment. what are my ways of discerning what some traditions would call “god’s will” and what others might call in alignment with highest good for me or what deepak chopra calls communication from our nonlocal intelligence? i will use the terms “god’s will,” “highest good” “nonlocal communication” interchangeably throughout the series so look alive. click through the first post (how do i discern what is alignment with my highest good and why might i want to?) to see what lies ahead or what i’ve already brought forth.
coincidence is one of the unsung methods of discernment and deepak chopra discusses it better than anyone i know in the spontaneous fulfillment of desire: harnessing the infinite power of coincidence. i wrote about synchronicity and coincidence november 2, 2007, june 2, 2010 and again on july 21, 2014–you can click through to read all the posts below.
to begin to use it as a tool, simply start tracking coincidence. chopra suggests a separate coincidence journal. i usually just write them in my regular journal, but come to think of it, why couldn’t i actually follow chopra’s advice? (classic my will). the less likely the coincidence is to have occurred, the more i circle it, star it, pay attention to it. coincidences are signposts on the way to our highest destiny.
i have written on synchronicity and coincidence many times, see the posts below for more on this
