Product Description

As elegant as his bestselling How to Know God and as practical as his phenomenal The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, this groundbreaking new book from Deepak Chopra contains a dramatic premise: Not only are everyday coincidences meaningful, they actually provide us with glimpses of the field of infinite possibilities that lies at the heart of all things. By gaining access to this wellspring of creation, we can literally rewrite our destinies in any way we wish.

From this realm of pure potential we are connected to everything that exists and everything that is yet to come. “Coincidences” can then be recognized as containing precious clues about particular facets of our lives that require our attention. As you become more aware of coincidences and their meanings, you begin to connect more and more with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begins. This is when you achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of desire.

At a time when world events may leave us feeling especially insignificant and vulnerable, Deepak Chopra restores our awareness of the awesome powers within us. And through specific principles and exercises he provides the tools with which to create the magnificent, miraculous life that is our birthright.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spirituality for the Scientific Mind...., December 10, 2004

By	Shola Abidoye (Stockholm, Sweden & East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews

If one is familiar with Chopra's former works, one is likely to have come across some discussion of the ideas discussed in the book.

Essentially, this piece speaks of the importance of clearly focusing the mind on an intention/desire (NB: writing down one's intention, goal, etc. is crucial), releasing the desire to the natural laws of the cosmos, then awaiting the arrival of coincidences as an indication of the unfolding of one's desires.

Chapters 1, 4,5, 9 and 11 are particularly intriguing and interesting. I rate the book 4 stars (instead of 5) because I found some chapters (the aforementioned ones) more useful than others. The other books I have read by the author have been extremely useful from cover to cover. Having said that however, it may well be the case that after applying some of the knowledge from the chapters I found the most relevant, I may well realize that other portions of the book are of equal usefulness--such is what can occur through growth and development. I would recommend this book for the "scientifically spiritual" individual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahh, coincidences...., March 20, 2007

By	J. Deelstra "Author, Blessings In The Mire" (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of my most dog-earred books. Long before the so-called-secret came around, Dr. DeePak Chopra was writing about the science of vibrational levels, about the frequency of objects, about the power of thought and meditation. For many decades Dr. Chopra has lived the life, walked the talk and written the volumes from the most acceptable viewpoint of a scientist. He seems to be ahead of his times with a large portion of the planet certainly coming to the same focus. This book truly is an act of courage and an act of love. The reader will ponder life from a wonderfully fresh perspective, and will soon realize there is no such thing as coincidence. Coincidence is but a mirror we draw to us through our individual frequencies of the law of attraction. This book deserves far more stars than 5!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Information on Becoming One With the Universe, January 21, 2005

By	D. Buxman "A Seeker of Truth" (Pueblo, CO United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

While it goes without saying that it's unlikely that a person could achieve enlightenment through a single book, I think this work is an excellent introduction to manifesting your desires through Unity Consciousness. This book has good, practical advice on Meditation, the use of Mantras and Sutras, and the utilization of the Vedic spiritual tradition as a mean of becoming aligned with universal intention. I have yet to find a book that gives an understandable account of the link between Quantum Physics and manifestation of personal desires. This book makes a good effort and is interesting, but I remain, sadly unenlightened. Maybe it's more about the journey than the destination.
