The 2 main meanings of significant within the time period significant coincidences are: What does this imply for me personally? And what does this synchronicity inform me concerning the nature of actuality?
The Many Sensible Makes use of of Significant Coincidences
Stunning concurrent occasions assist us make selections, soothe grief, and tighten connections. They assist us discover jobs, wanted assist, data, concepts, and might foster psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual progress. (Beitman, 2016, 2022) They are often useful throughout psychotherapy.
They typically set off the query—what does this imply for my future? This query is very more likely to happen within the context of a brand new relationship.
The Many Explanations of Significant Coincidences
Explanations depend upon private beliefs concerning the nature of actuality. My analysis means that the commonest clarification is God/destiny and the second most typical is likelihood/likelihood. These are adopted by “human minds are interconnected” and “minds are related to the environment (Coleman, Beitman & Celebi, 2009)
Some coincidences merely draw us into the second and are stunning as they’re. In these synchronicities, use and clarification are tied collectively. Their use is that they stir marvel and awe within the second, like a sundown over the ocean. Their clarification is that every one we actually have is the current second of now. A private expertise will illustrate this type of meaningfulness in a coincidence.
The Rock, the Masculine, the Female and Inner GPS
A sequence of significant coincidences came about just lately between a visitor on my podcast and me. What would possibly the that means be?
I used to be watching the swiftly flowing creek close to my home sculpting one specific rock with its present. Trying intently on the rock, I noticed two pictures: a camel and the Hebrew letter Resh. Within the historic wisdom described within the Guide of Thoth (Crowley, 1972) the camel is related to the Excessive Priestess and Resh is related to the Solar. On the rock, the Divine Female, represented by the Excessive Priestess was mixing with the solar, which represents the Divine Masculine.

Two days later, Nicole Frolick was a visitor on my podcast Connecting with Coincidence. As an intuitive life coach, founding father of the Alchemy Academy, and prolific podcast host, she emphasizes harmonizing the masculine and female energies. The symbols on the rock within the creek mirrored one among her passions.
Nicole has additionally developed the concept of an “inner GPS” which helps us get to the place we have to be with out rationally realizing how we bought there. In my latest e book, Significant Coincidences (2022), I dedicate a chapter titled “Human GPS” to the same concept.
In illustrating inner GPS, Nicole used a real-world instance just like one analysis psychologist Rex Stanford used whereas reporting on his analysis into this phenomenon. “As you’re driving, you have got the robust feeling to show sooner than normal.” Stanford did take the intuitive trace and missed an accident. Nicole didn’t comply with her urge and was delayed in attending to her vacation spot. Her time period “inner GPS” appears to be extra correct than my time period, “human GPS” since non-humans even have inner GPS, as prompt by canines discovering their approach again to their homeowners.
The coincidences opened the door for a doable future relationship. Will we stroll via collectively in a roundabout way? Or not? So I made a decision to ask Nicole what that means she noticed.
Nicole replied: “Kismet. A lovely candy second.” (Jung used the time period “numinous”.)
Remark
The widespread seek for synchronicity as a information to the long run wants to incorporate a recognition that some coincidence will spotlight the second we dwell in.
