Synchronistic experience has been common in my life and while I have never heard of this particular term, ‘synchrodestiny,’ I can relay a very recent experience related to it.
I needed to make a decision about a direction I would take with a personal matter; the direction I was rationally and intuitively leaning towards I recognized as still being a gamble of sorts, requiring some “luck” on my part to be successful (or good karma, whichever way you want to view it).
Which launched me into an unusual inquiry about the status of my luck and will I have good luck in this matter? bad luck? neutral luck? I spent close to 36 hours contemplating this, praying, and all the other things I do spiritually to arrive at answers. At the end of all that, I was maybe 60% sure “luck” would be with me, more than 50-50 odds, but not good enough. I prayed some more about it, then let it go.
Just a day or two later, I was standing in line in a store. There was a man and woman in front of me, and I felt really drawn to the man, who was a very large, traditionally-dressed Indian. When the woman left, I struck up a brief conversation with him, which culminated with him writing his name and phone number on a piece of paper and asking me to call him that evening. To my delight, his last name was “Goodluck.”
I now felt 100% that luck was with me, even as I recognized the role of belief in the situation: I believed, for one thing, that my prayers and other spiritual activity related to the status of my luck would be answered; I believed this was the answer, and that belief had at least some influence on things going forward. For if that encounter wasn’t enough, a neighbor invited me to a large public event a day or so later. Not usually my thing, but I went, they had a raffle, and I won. That was followed by a couple more “lucky” events, more than enough to satisfy my mind that I would have good luck in going in the direction I had been leaning. (And of course I recognized that simply by now focusing on ‘good luck,’ that I was experiencing more of it.)
My own experience with synchronicity is that it is much more common when the distance between inner and outer in one’s consciousness is narrowed, i.e. when we are closer than usual to unity consciousness (or even when we’re just contemplating or thinking a lot about there being no difference in the ultimate scheme of things between inner and outer, self and other, etc.) And I think some of what is called synchronicity is really just psychic experience; for instance, the example of thinking of someone who you haven’t thought of in a long time, and they call. There are other perspectives on this as well.
I believe there is a podcast with Corey at Integral Life on synchronicity that people may want to check out.
