The main message of the book according to Mr. Redfield was to inspire people to get in touch with the most exciting part about life. That is, watching the mysterious coincidences happen that lead us toward a particular destiny and in believing that our lives are going somewhere that will help to make the world a better place. We are learning to take notice of the synchronicities of life and to get the messages that are being given as direction to us.

The argument revolves around two basic premises.

• One is that everything happens for a reason and thus there are no accidents.
• The second is based on a dynamic free will which does not allow for pre-destination.

Closer to the present understanding of many people is that the dynamic free will does allow us to make choices when offered infinite possibilities. Were everything pre-destined, we would not have those choices. We have all the power we could ever use or want. Instead of realizing this, we continually try to get power from others. No matter what god you believe in, that god would not get hung up on the name that it was called. There are multiple paths to achieve the same end result.

All of these new books offer 'seasonings' to make God palatable to the World. (referenced as from Matthew, fourth chapter). If you feel connected to something other than yourself, you are becoming a part of a greater purpose and recognizing that you have a part to play. Each coincidence is a test. You can't learn until you pass the test. If you don't get it the first time, you get successive opportunities, each with a firmer influence. Each time is a louder wake up call. It is up to each of us to recognize when the coincidence occurs and try to find the message that is being communicated to us.

You are where you are in life because of what you believe and what you have acted on. Our thoughts and actions control our lives and can be altered to change our lives. Since you can't practically effect the entire world, you should affect the world on a more personal basis, through the people you touch and the people who touch you. Service to others is one way of making a difference, and that service can take many forms. There are infinite choices you can make in your own life to influence events to flow in a positive, evolving direction.

We must understand that all the day to day occurrences that we experience happen for a reason. We are beginning to see messages in the happenings around us which lead us to a higher meaning. We are all messengers for each other and these messages come in the form of coincidences. It is up to each of us to ferret out the message when it presents itself. The message usually gets our attention in the form of a coincidence. Sometimes, the message won't be so obvious, other times, it will be crystal clear.

Take advantage of the synchronicity to get the answers to your questions. You will know truth and guidance when it resonates with your inner feelings and intuitions. It's not enough to simply recognize coincidences when they occur, but to try to get the message that is offering itself to you. Events happen to wake people up to a hidden meaning. When everybody wakes up and has the common agreement that we would not glamorize negative things, it then happens less often or to lesser degrees. As soon as we take personal responsibility, everything seems to improve. When enough people consciously agree, that is when things change.

The more people move in a spiritual direction, the more things will change. We communicate by presenting a model to others, if it is a positive model, it then becomes contagious and produces positive changes. The opposite holds true also, when we present negative role models, others begin to copy that role model and we create our own problems by devolving. Children are especially sensitive in their formative years to the models presented to them.

We need to begin expecting miracles that will reveal our true mission in life. If we stay true to our life mission and do the inner work necessary to allow us to get out of our own way, opportunities will present themselves to help you with your problems.

Eastern and Western philosophies can be integrated into a higher spiritual truth. Yes, the West is correct in maintaining that life is about progress, about always trying to evolve to something higher and better than what existed before. But, so too is the East correct in teaching that we must let go of the control of our ego. Logic alone will not provide the answer, instead, we must seek a higher consciousness, an inner connection with God, guided by the coincidences and synchronicities which present themselves to us every day.
