Synchronicity of Happiness
I was 3000 miles from home and had an afternoon book signing to do. My morning was free and so the last minute decision was made to go to a meeting on spiritual healing. Unfamiliar with the roads, I was at least 5 minutes late. Another woman was also late. Determination was on our faces. And it was half a year later before the woman, Hannah, and I realized we were determined to meet one another. The meeting was frosting on the cake. Experience and hindsight has taught us, it wasn’t a coincidence of events that brought us together, but a synchronicity of motives.
Our motives still are: to teach our children through love and understanding, to nurture spirituality in our work environment, and help others strengthen their sense of well-being. Hannah and I feel as though we have known each other forever. We can read each other’s mind. Obviously, significant motives are related to meaningful synchronicity. From 21st Century Science and Health, “Existence is happier when our motive is to entertain and form relationships with people who are striving to improve their inner self.”
People are not predestined to shallow relationships or a fickle happiness. We are realizing that we can chose an advancing goodness instead of accept declining joy. An effort is requisite. And it is important to understand what it is we are choosing. We don’t choose our fate. We chose the thoughts and actions that lead to an already existing end result. Hannah and I did not choose to get a friend. We chose to accept and express thoughts of spiritual courage, awareness, happiness, and healing. Because these thoughts are immortal, they are shared. Similar thoughts attract, coordinate, and embrace simultaneously.
A mathematician adds 2+2+2 and gets 6. If the mathematician chooses to get another answer, say 7, effort is needed for a change. Effort is not put into forcing 2+2+2 to be a 7. Effort is not put into inventing a 7 as if it doesn’t exist. Effort is metaphysical; discovering the correct numbers (thoughts) destined to be a 7. Most grand is the fact that there is no restriction in the process. The correct thoughts are not difficult or impossible to come up with. A few examples are 2+2+3, 3+3+1, ½+1/2+6……And the equation that works for someone else isn’t necessarily the one for you, but it will still produce a synchronicity of joy.
Improvement in happiness and health is not restricted to a few set thoughts and actions. Keep in mind the better thoughts that come to your mind. Do not focus on the outcome or try to take on the thoughts of other people. Love you own inspired thoughts.
We are individuals. What is improvement for me may not be improvement for you. I may need to entertain thoughts of patience; you may already have patience and think about flexibility. We each can meditate, receive, and act on immortal thoughts that improve our own situation. Furthermore, the improvement will unite us. Spiritual thoughts are very useful and meaningful. They originate in Love, Truth, and result concurrently in happiness and liveliness.
Thoughts based in fear and unawareness is predetermined to self-doom. Spiritual thoughts are completely different from the wired human thoughts. The two never work together and actually bring confusion. It would be like adding 2+2+a dead log.
To experience a coincidence of events is fascinating; however, a coincidence of spiritual motives is profound, expansive. Life includes happiness which is naturally shared. A synchronicity of spiritual motives will unite, improve, and genuinely impress us and our world. Existence does have meaning, an inspiring, health-giving, happy meaning.
