Just like I promised, I will be sharing experts from different books that have touched my soul and taught me important lessons about life. When I learn something new, that helps me, I have this very strong urge to pass it along to as many people as possible, so they too can benefit from its wisdom.
So today, I will share with you the first bit that I highlighted from my new Feature Book – The Teaching of Little Crow – The Journey of the Soul. It’s rather short, but gets the point across… It is about whether or not coincidences happen, or if it all has a purpose.
Personally, I am a firm believer that there are no coincidences, and that everything that happens has a deeper meaning & purpose, that teaches us something along the way, if we choose to see the lesson. And even if we don’t learn anything consciously, our higher self (the inner spirit) knows it all, and the lessons still affect our Journey through the evolution of the higher self…
I will stop here, and let you read this short but wonderful little piece of wisdom, and let you draw your own conclusions… =)
This is taken from a dialog between Dylan (the main character/famous actor) & Grace (native american shaman/wise woman) on page 94
“Do you believe in coincidence?” – asked Dylan
“There are none, Dylan. What you need to understand is that you are writing your own story. The only real person in the story is you. The rest are character actors and props whose jobs are to create circumstanses that force you to draw the conclusions necessary for your spiritual development. Your higher self directs the show. Each circumstance or ‘coincidence,’ as you called it, is prepared for you. NOTHING in your life, from the important to the mundane, is coincidence.
She walked on, assuming he would follow. “You are not a body with a spirit, Dylan. You are a spirit with a body experiencing this dimension! Reality is your spirit. This –” (she directed her arm to all around her) “– is the illusion: The Maya. Your purpose in life is spiritual progress; it is not fame, not money, not accolades, not possessions. That is why all men, under all circumstances, have the ability to grow – different stories to develop what is required for their spirit. You’ve changed your character a hundred times in this lifetime alone, not only in your personal life, but also by agreeing to act stories out for others to watch, to accept or reject according to their will.”
What about you – Do you believe in coincidence? Please share your opinion, experience or just a personal insight. I love reading your thoughts…

Lovely story indeed:) I had reread it a couple of times to really grasp the meaning…
there are no coincidences in life…it’s all part of the bigger, higher PLAN

I believe reality is a form of illusion we create with our minds , therefore, there is no coincidence

I concur. I do not believe in coincidences either, but sometimes I feel it is just safer to designate powerful moments that rapture your soul to mere coincidence. This article really explains a great deal!! =)
I so agree with her, she is living the life of intentions (a book I read by Dr. Wayne Dyer) it is amazing and man did it make me see things differently.
I do not believe in coincidence at all, things happen for a reason, sometimes hard to get a grip on and realize this, however if you live with the intent that something is already here you will find that those people, things, abundance, prosperity will flow just when the universe knows you need it. If you look at things differently, things will be different.
I do not know why that word is in the english language as to me there is no such thing.
Great story, thank you
