In reading the book Synchronicity by Pat Upzack, I perceived many answers to some deep metaphysical questions about "timing' and destiny.It is quite a fascinating book!
It is filled with real life stories that keep the reader's attention . I read the book in 24 hours because I simply could not put it down. It is written in a style that nearly everyone can understand but it is the type of book you need to read over and over because you feel you might have missed something.
It has many layers and layers and it touches some key metaphysical principles of synchronicity. It has a glossary of symbols and terms which explain how by " being awake and aware" you can get the most meaning out of life. It really made me notice! It gave meaning to what I used to think were some of most common occurrences.We are destined to live certain experiences to learn.
Some of my favorite passages were about those who met their soul mates under the strangest of circumstances. There was a case of clairvoyant dreaming. The book talks about the importance of numbers and symbols, principles which the Ancients considered a normal part of everyday life but Western civilizations consider bizarre.
This book is great and a "Must read"!!!!

This book is a wonderful tool to help the reader understand and be open to the meaningful coincidences that have occurred and will occur in our lives. The chapters pass by quickly as one is face to face with the stories of many people from all walks of life who shared with the author.
Also included is an accessible reference list with over 300 entries to assist the reader with interpretation of their own experiences.
Throughout the book many experts defined synchronicity. My favorite is by Dr. Frank Joseph: "Synchronicities are little miracles, through which an otherwise Unseen Consciousness communicates with us. We may speak to the gods in prayer, but significant coincidence is the medium whereby they speak to us."

I was thrilled to read this book and discover that so many things that have happened in my life have such a greater meaning. Seeing the bigger picture can be a catch phrase but so much of the time you get stuck in your mess - you don't see what is going on around you! Thank you Ms. Upczak for your beautifully written book that illustrates so wonderfully the need for taking a breath of fresh air and not missing the help that surely must come from above. There truly are no accidents in life!

Patricia's book is awesome. It opens the eyes and senses to allow for experiences to have meaning rather than just be everyday occurrences. To think that the smallest most insignificant interaction is sending large waves of meaning through the cosmos is mind boggling. And the crane that sits in my tree outside my house is offering me the concept of protection and wisdom truly makes my day, each and every day. I tune in more now, and I am much more because of it.

I found Ms. Upczak's book very helpful. I have been looking for a book to give me some clarity about this subject. I really enjoyed the individual stories and found that I had had simular experiences. This opened my eyes. Then the signs and symbols dictionary made it so easy to understand those events in your life that we find so amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for meaning in those events we can not explain.
Thank you Patricia..

I really enjoyed this book. Patricia Rose Upczak led me through many personal synchronistic stories that I could relate to my own life. I learned a lot about how to focus my life to create synchronicity. I love the pages in the back to use to make my own synchronicity journal. I wish there were more! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to get in touch with their own synchronicities in their life. It guided me to places I had forgotten existed. MANY THANKS to Ms. Upczak.

I'm naturally a doubter. However, after reading Ms. Upczak's book, I'm doubting my own skepticism. She skillfully pulls in the ancient philosophers as well as modern experiences from people in all walks of life.
The list of animals and their meanings surprised me. I had recently seen a blue heron five days in a row in my creek, then had a mother turtle lay and bury her eggs in my garden. The book helped bring home the fact that we are a part of nature and the universe. Way to go, Patricia Rose!
The book is next to my reading chair and is used as a reference. Sometimes, when I need to sooth the savage soul within me, I re-read parts of it. It's difficult to be lonely when one is a piece of the whole.
Don't be fooled by the easy reading style -- every sentence is packed with useful information.

I enjoyed this small but meaningful book completely!! Ms. Upczak
approach to synchronicity and the symbolic world is refreshing and holistic. She made this complicated subject accessible to the many readers who are not familiar with synchronicity and would like to know more. The stories were interesting and heartwarming.
I especially liked her exploration of the "Hundreth Monkey Theory"..it gives me hope for our species and the planet. Thank You...

Congratulations to Patricia and those who helped her compile this
collection of "synchronistic" events. The interweavings of background/documentation-(hundredth monkey theory) with authentic events contributed by ordinary people helped the reader to continue reading and to complete the book in one setting. The artwork is exquisite and compliments the writings. I'm sure any reader can relate to the recorded events and are compelled to begin documenting additional events. Hopefully there will be a sequental. Patricia, it is wonderful that you are bringing the awareness of such synchronicity in our universe to the public.

If anything, this book is a good reminder to stay attuned to what is happening around you all the time. Synchronicity is never "just" happening; the signs from the Universe are coming to us all the time, and, as the book points out, it is out job in this world to figure them out and use for the best of all involved. The book does not go deep into discovering/explaining the causes or meanings though.

The dictionary of symbols at the end of the book is valuable.
