Harness the Power of Intention, Coincidence, and Awareness, Part 2, by Deepak Chopra

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series. Read Part 1 here.

SynchroDestiny and the Conscious Energy Field

Although synchronicities may seem like events that just happen by themselves, SynchroDestiny is definitely something that must be learned. But this shouldn’t seem at all intimidating. After all, many things that we take for granted in our everyday lives are actually learned behaviors and responses. Even the nature of the physical world is something that we learn during early childhood. We are told that the whole truth about things is available to our senses. Thus, when you look at a table, what you see is exactly what’s there in space and time. It’s a piece of solid matter composed of smaller pieces of solid matter all the way down to the level of subatomic particles. This is a materialist interpretation of reality. It’s the way almost everyone lives day in and day out.

A Deeper Reality

There is another philosophy, according to which the world that we perceive through our senses is only a version of a deeper reality. The Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato, for example, taught that the world of our senses is a distortion, a mirage ― like a shadow playing across a wall. Many historians believe that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual thinkers from India, where the idea of a deeper reality has a very long history. In Sanskrit the word maya refers to the illusion that we perceive the true nature of things through our senses. But we’re really seeing only a selective view of reality. That’s because beyond the manifest physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence that orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground state of creation is the conscious energy field.

We Are All Co-Creators

The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our perception of it. In other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both transmitters and receivers of information. We are both the creation and the creators of the conscious energy field. We are participants in a consciousness-created universe. This doesn’t mean that there’s no external reality, or that the universe literally takes place inside our heads. What it means is that the physical universe has no qualities or attributes in the absence of a conscious observer.

But colors are not really inherent to the reality. Instead, the phenomenon of color is a response made by the human nervous system to stimuli from the environment. We experience color as if it’s happening outside us, but we’re actually projecting it from inside us. Color does not exist in the absence of our observations. We create the phenomenon of color in the conscious energy field. And we can create other phenomena as well, including meaningful coincidences.

Tapping into the Power of Intention

The power of intention is a critical factor in all areas of life. Simply by intending to create synchronicity in your life, you can nurture that result. In Vedic teaching, there is am important concept relating to spiritual evolution and the role that cosmic intention plays in our lives. This is the concept of dharma, and understanding what dharma means is essential to bringing synchronicity into your life. Dharma is a Sanskrit word that refers to the natural path a person is intended to follow through life. Your dharma is your destiny – but it is destiny without any hint of compulsion or force. On the contrary, your dharma is the path of least resistance. It’s the course that is most right and most nourishing – that brings you the greatest fulfillment and the most happiness.

Each of us has a gift, a special purpose that we alone can give to the world. This is our individual dharma. We are meant to discover and share this unique gift. When we do, we have achieved our true purpose in life. If you are in harmony with your dharma, you will always remain anchored in a sense of purpose and meaning.

Realizing that you’re connected to a network of coincidences is only the first stage in learning to access the field of pure potentiality. In the second stage, you begin to recognize coincidences while they’re happening rather than just in hindsight. From this state of higher consciousness, you’re better positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves.

Exercises to Nurture SynchroDestiny

To nurture coincidence and become aware of opportunities, you can begin by using a few simple techniques:

•    When a coincidence happens, don’t ignore it. Instead, ask yourself, ”What is the message here? What is the significance of this event?”  Don’t strain for answers: Just ask the question and the answers will come easily. They may arrive as a sudden insight, a chance encounter, a relationship, or in another way. Whatever form the response takes, you’ll immediately know that you’re receiving an important clue.

•   Focus on one of your five senses ― sight, taste, hearing, touch, smell ― for a minute or two each day. Notice as many different aspects of this sense as you can. When a powerful or unusual stimuli draws your attention, focus on it, for this is what you need to look at most closely. As you become more sensitive to your environment, you’ll become more of the messages coming your way.

•    Keep a journal of your coincidences. Writing down the coincidences you experience, whether tiny or huge, encourages more of them to unfold. More coincidences provide more clues to guide your actions and more possibilities for fulfillment.

The more you notice and appreciate coincidences, the more likely they are to appear. And as your awareness expands, you start to understand the way life works . . . how the quantum domain orchestrates the flow of energy, information, and intelligence to manifest your intentions. You’ll also discover that you can consciously participate in the creation of your life and achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of all your dreams.

  1. Fantastic article. This morning while walking my dog I was appreciating all that I have and the abilities I have and I confidently declared to myself that I am a creator. An hour later I came upon this article and was reaffirmed by the sub-header, “We Are All Co-Creators.” Also, by coincidence I am currently reading Chopra’s “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence”

  3. Just come across november issue & read it with great delight. It comes at a time when I needed it. In recent times, I have been verbally abused by no less than 5 women (1 woman twice). This puzzled me, because I was just going about my own business. Perhaps in the wrong place etc or maybe it was the “right” time. I believe these “happenings” happen for a reason & unless one gets the message, then it will keep on returning. I read your newsletter & realised that I have ‘slipped’ away from what is really really important in life. So I say a BIG BIG THANK YOU. Also I want to thank Davidji for his words about his Princess. I understand this completely as I have always had that special bond/understanding with all my animals thru out my life. Bless you all.

  4. Dear Mr. Chopra,

    The reason that I am writing to you is that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the audio-book “Synchrodestiny”. Despite the fact that I have business experience and I am engaged in the “wheel” of daily life with all of ups and downs, I am looking for several years to unlock the power that I feel within. I feel this power like a giant ball without a handle.

    I must tell you that your book, thought me some ways to discover myself better and to put a handle to the energy ball from within. Thank you for that! I have made this book as a instructions manual and I will keep use it until the seven principles of the conscious energy field will be as my own.

    I don’t know if you will read this message ever, however I know that will reach you due to the energy field. :)

    Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and I can tell you that I can’t remember WHY or HOW your book reached me, but I am sure of what you told: “it is written in the field that somewhere, somehow our karmic connection will manifest”.

    Please accept my best wishes for the end of this year! From where I am, in this time of the year it is a custom to wish to best friends and family: “Let the end of the year bring you health, joy and happiness for you and your family for all the next year!”. This is what I am wishing you, too!

    All the best form Romania!
