Coincidences are God's way
of remaining anonymous.
Doris Lessing |
|
|
|
The problem
of synchronicity has puzzled me for a long time, ever since
the
middle twenties, when I was investigating the phenomena
of the
collective
unconscious and kept on coming across
connections which I
simply could not
explain as chance
groupings or "runs." What I found were
"coincidences" which
were connected so meaningfully that their "chance"
concurrence would represent
a degree of improbability that
would have
to be expressed by an astronomical figure.
Carl
Jung

Coincidence is God's way of remaining
anonymous.
Albert Einstein
The belief in coincidence is the prevalent
superstition of the Age of Science.
Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson |

According
to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two
indications that a transformation is taking place within you
toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop
worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light
hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter
more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more
synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you
actually experience the miraculous.
Deepak Chopra
|
| |
When
you live your life with an appreciation
of coincidences and
their meanings, you connect
with the underlying field of
infinite possibilities.
Deepak Chopra |

Having no unusual coincidence is far more
unusual
than any coincidence could possibly be.
Isaac Asimov |

Coincidence
is the word we use when we can't see the levers and
pulleys.

Coincidences
are a true paradox. . . on the one hand they seem to be
the source of our greatest irrationalities--seeing causal
connections
when science tells us they aren't there. On the other
hand, some of
our greatest feats of scientific discovery depend on
coincidences.
Josh
Tenenbaum |

| Coincidence,
if traced far enough back, becomes inevitable.
Hineu |
| |

All
mystical experience is coincidence; and vice versa, of
course.
Tom
Stoppard |

The
more frequently one uses the word "coincidence" to
explain
bizarre happenings, the more obvious it becomes that one is
not
seeking, but evading the real explanation.
Robert Shea
and Robert Anton
Wilson |

Learn
to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know
that everything in this life has purpose. There are no
mistakes,
no coincidences; all events are blessings given to us to
learn from.
Elisabeth

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

In the magical
universe there are no coincidences and there are no
accidents.
Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.
William S. Burroughs |
| |
|
A
coincidence is a small miracle in which God chooses to
remain anonymous.
Unknown

There
is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us mere
accident springs form the deepest source of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller |
| |
|
|
| |
When
we're interested in something, everything around us appears
to
refer to it (the mystics call these phenomena
"signs," the skeptics
"coincidence," and psychologists
"concentrated focus," although I've
yet to find out what term historians should use).
Paulo Coelho |
| |
|
In
mathematics, two angles that are said to coincide fit
together
perfectly. The word "coincidence" does not
describe luck or
mistakes. It describes that which fits together perfectly.
Wayne Dyer |
| |
|
Without realizing it, the individual
composes his life according to the
laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress. It is
wrong then, to
chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious
coincidences,
but it is right to chide people for being blind to such
coincidences in their
daily lives. For they thereby deprives their lives of a
dimension of beauty.
Milan Kundera |
| |
The
stronger your will, the clearer and more defined your goals
will be and the greater the "coincidences" that
will appear in front
of you, helping you get where you wish--Heaven or hell.
You decide what you want.
Alfredo Karras |

Every
individual decision is nothing but coincidence,
every artistic decision is coincidence.
Alva Noto |

We
do not create our destiny; we participate in its unfolding.
Synchronicity
works as a catalyst toward the working out of that destiny.
David Richo |

As
soon as we notice that certain types of events ‘like’
to cluster together at certain times, we begin to
understand the Chinese, whose theories of medicine,
philosophy, and even building are based on a
"science" of meaningful coincidences.
Marie Louise von Franz |
| |
Coincidence
may be described as the chance encounter of two
unrelated causal chains which--miraculously, it seems--merge
into
a significant event.
It provides the neatest paradigm of the bisociation
of previously separate contexts, engineered by fate.
Coincidences
are puns of destiny. In the pun, two strings of thought are
tangled
into one acoustic knot; in the coincidental happening,
two strings of events are knitted together by invisible
hands.
