<P>Synchronicity, Serendipity, synchrodestiny. </P>
<P>Like Harrison would sometimes say: I think I have a (rather disjointed) point to make here. </P>
<P>What distinguishes humans from other mammals, is our ability to use <U>language </U>to describe what we feel, observe, think etc.</P>
<P>The difficulty arises when we do not have the words to describe what we are sensing, etc, or when a word or phrase conjures up a different image or feeling for the listener than it does for the speaker. In such a case we can make the speaker wrong and make oneself right by suggesting or even insisting that ones interpretation, understanding, meaning is the correct one. Alternatively we can ask the speaker for further detail/ explanation so that we see, feel and understand what it is like in their world.</P>
<P>So I would love each of the writers/ speakers on this subject to let me further into their secret worlds and thus let me know how they feel about their synchronicities, how they make sense of it , what impact it has on their lives, how we could better use this to our common benefit etc. I feel that this is better than "not discussing it or hiding it. It can help us to learn from each others experiences even if at first, they seem a little "wierd".</P>
<P>As a trained life coach from the "non- directional" school, we state that neither the coach nor client "knows the answers" during a coaching conversation. Rather, as rapport develops, "the relationship" becomes the leader of the conversation and the finder of solutions, actions, goals etc" What does this mean? I do not honestly know. I just know that it works, as if by magic The more I get "me " out of the way the better the process works. So, how can a relationship have power?</P>
<P>The answer seems to me to lie in the same arena as the power that drives OS.That is why I am so intrigued by this board, even though I have never done OS nor even heard of it til a few months ago.</P>
<P>I am a great believer in Synchronicity or Synchrodestiny, as Deepak Chopra calls it. I have used it to transform my life since the millenium when I was a, relatively well off 50 yo veterinarian/businessman, who was spiritually at sea, unfit, in a rut etc. Using his tools, which require a lot of openness to and trust in the universe, and and a lot of observation for synchronicities, which one should follow, one finds ones destiny (or dharma) - hence the term synchrodestiny. So now I have sold my business, improved my marriage and relationship with my 5 kids, am fitter, more spiritually aware and much happier. Yet I seem to "DO" less now and am more aware of how I am "BEING". It is as though I am in the flow of life rather than fighting it.</P>
<P>I have wondered since how one could use this "energy", which I now know to be so powerful in transforming ones personal life, to transform families, communities, society. It seems that the answer may lie with open space. I am intrigued. I look forward to learning and using OS in my transformational work in businesses and communities over the coming years.</P>
<P>So, ow did I find this discussion board at a time when this particular topic was being discussed? Another synchronicity? Synchrodestiny?</P>
<P>Please do keep this subject area open and alive. I am loving it.<BR></P>
