The Path of the Soul

People keep asking if synchronicities really exist and how do they actually happen? Well, here is a real example that happened to me today.

1. I've received from a friend a great set of CD on NLP by Igor Ledochowski. I've never been so far exposed to NLP (I've heard about it, of course), or to Igor L. Out of curiosity and because I've seen so many good reviews, I've started listening to the CDs yesterday afternoon. To be honest, I got so hooked, that today, as a public holiday, I've spent most of my day in my room listening to CDs without to stop. A good couple of hours. The guy is brilliant, knows his stuff, and is extremely funny too. I've just decided that I'll learn at least the basics of NLP.

2. I've taped the latest Mentalist tv series (I'm currently hooked on it, I'm sure the main actor has something to do with it *grins*), and what do you know, what the main subject of this particular episode was? Yep, indeed. NLP, hypnosis and the power of suggestion. Of course I watched it with strong interest, and I had all the time in the back of my head the set of CDs that I just listened to.

3. I've checked my wishlist at Bookmooch.com, the international book trading site I'm a long time member of, and what book did I just see appear that I could 'mooch' (ask for a trade)? The title is: Introducing NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming by Joseph O'Connor.

Now if these seemingly unrelated events that just 'happened' to me within a day are not a major synchronicity that means something, then I don't know what they are. Sometimes, when something in the water quacks and flips its wings, it is, indeed, a duck, even if you might think it's Loch Ness instead.

As for what do these synchronicities mean in my life? I'm not sure, but of what I am sure is that I'll now start learning NLP and hypnosis. Taking baby steps, learning the basics, one step at a time. I'll post back, of course, with what happens next.
