Have Faith in Synchronicity

Have Faith in Synchronicity
4 comments

Synchronicity is a means of getting in touch with God. It’s a path to meaning and purpose in your life. It’s a means of having the experience of love and compassion. It’s a means of connecting to the non-logical intelligence of the universe.

If my attention is on situations that generate stress, then it is difficult to access synchronicity. To do so effectively you have to have an attitude of surrender to the universal domain, which is much grander than anything you could imagine.

Surrender requires a leap of faith, a jump into the unknown. Your inner dialogue can support this by saying. “Things are not going my way. I’m letting go of my idea of how they should. My sense of ‘me and mine’ has to expand.”

If you take this leap of faith, you will be richly rewarded. If you find yourself worrying about next month’s bills, it would be appropriate to remind yourself that it is your intent not only to fulfill your needs but also to send your children to school, to contribute to your community.

All people want to fulfill these needs in their lives. However, having articulated and expressed your intent to fulfill them takes them to the infinite mind, and in effect says, “I put all this at your disposal. I’m not going to worry about it because you, the non-local intelligence that resides within me, will take care of it.”

Adapted from The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press).

Deepak ,
I have experienced Synchronicity too, but regarded it as a natural development of my meditation, self- purification including doing social education works free-of-charge.
I think the correct and altruistic motivation is most important for people really want to learn and attain Spirituality, so that they can really make progress and without falling into the abysses of Academic-empty-talk.
For early reply please also e-mail to
patrickwinata@yahoo.com , thanks.2008 Nov 06

Absolutely beautiful my sweet, I couldn‘t have explained it better. Now lets not forget about the things that seem non-synchronic; because many times they are as synchronized as what you notice to be synchronised. When things appear not to be synchronised, it may be the answer to some question that commands a No as an answer. But like you say we need to put faith in Synchronicity, and to me it’s all spiritually related. I love you Deepak, you are an inspiration and Role Model. I am so grateful for all you do. Muawww!! Xoxox.

Deepak this is a very inspiring thought , always confused that faith is religion, or is religion faith and wondering can you actually have faith without religion? Thank You Brenda
