Second: I've talked a lot about synchronicity before, and I think it's a very powerful concept (or even creative force). I try to let my life be open to new possibilities and pathways by always keeping my options available so that synchronicities can flourish. It seems to me that the more spiritual a person becomes, the more they can generate spontaneous synchronicities.
Here's a good article by F. David Peat, the physicist and writer, called Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind.
What do you think about synchronicity?

Interesting.
When you ask the question about what I think about synchronicities, my immediate response is that I believe in them.
My second response is that it's entirely possible that I believe in the myth of synchronicities – meaning that it could be a convenient story that I tell myself in order to evoke the useful behavior of surrendering and releasing control.
Synchronicities are a story of causality that I tell myself to find deeper meaning and connection between those gut feelings that tell me I'm on the right path. And the more that I believe in the story, the more that they seem to happen. So being in the flow seems to come from immersing myself into the possibility. When I try to analyze or deconstruct it, then it seems to break the flow.
