I know exactly what you mean by the coincidences. I also have a life that seems to be a play already written. I also know now the power of ordaining events in life.

This is so high it is such a pity many people still talk the way they do. How do i not appear to be uptight and 'godly'.

I am really interested to know your full story and to share mine with you. I am glad to hear that you are in a happy relationship. I prayed for my life partner who i did meet, but wants to be in a relationship with someone else. I have unfortunately asked him to choose or i'll not see him again. He's chosen her.

He wants a wife, i want a husband we met but it is still not smooth?

Share more of your story so i see if i have any parallels.

love

My heart goes out to you. My story is on-going. My spirituality has been seeming to come and go, which kind of scares me. I really don't have much to say at the moment, but that I feel for you and would like to talk more later. Perhaps we could exchange email addresses.

Lotuss... I am sorry that your relationship is not what you had hoped.

It saddens me to hear stories such as this, but I think they provide a valuable lesson about creating magic and miracles.

I do not know your circumstances, so I do not know if you had envisioned a PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL to be your "life partner", or if you had only asked/prayed or imaged certain qualities that you thought you might require in such a love.

I will say without hesitation, that if the former, and you were projecting for a PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL; that is black magic. To interfere in any way with the Free Will of another is not okay.

However, and I'm assuming that this option was the one that you chose, you were merely asking God/dess, The ALL, the Universe or what have you for a "life partner" and maybe visualizing certain qualities that you wanted that person to possess, then I can also say without hesitation that the person you THOUGHT was your "life partner" was in fact, not.

God (or whatever you choose to call Her) never gives us things in half measure. The Creators wish for us to have life, and to have Love and abundance. Many times though, we get in the way of this by our thoughts, words and/or deeds.

If the person that you called to you was indeed your "life partner" and he chose to be with another, that is a pretty fair indication that he was not what you may have thought.

That you felt you needed to deliver an ultimatum is also another fair indication that this was NOT your true love. Love does NOT equal ownership. That would be slavery, and I'm confident that is not what you had in Mind.

True Love is unconditional, it is liberating, freeing; not confining, limiting or demanding. Love GIVES, because that is the nature of Love... it does not take away. Love draws together, it does not pull apart. And I don't believe that Love gives ultimatums. The EGO does... but LOVE does not.

I truly hope that you find what you seek...

I might suggest that you ask God for LOVE in general.. ask for all of the qualities that you want in a "life partner" (NEVER focus any attention on the things that you DON'T WANT), and be open to receiving those things in the correct time. I think it is also wise to add at the end of any prayer or projection or Ordaining: "May this be correct and for the good of all, harming none" . In this way, you eliminate the possibility of interfering with another's Free Will.

I hope this makes some sense, and I wish you Peace and Love...

In the Light...
A

Thanks for your reply. When i prayed last year, i asked for a reason to remain in The Netherlands and to meet my future life partner before the end of the year. And surely enough i got an email message from the man i 'felt' immediately was my destiny. I fell in love with him on our first date. He also wanted to kiss me that day.
I would like to write you more so please email me on lotuss@excite.com I also want to read your story.
I have a topic on soul unions -please read that for more.

The strangest thing is that everytime i left his house.I wanted to cry. Everytime he left mine he wanted to cry. Yet he left each time of his own will.
Now he has stated that we will never ever sleep together. I can't understand why he does not SEE that i am what he was looking for?

I am now accepting the fact that he may not be the one. Since his words so plainly send me away. But he hurts in person when i talk about being with another. So i can't decide whether to remain friends or to let him contact me when he wants to.
I just need to have my 'partner' KNOW that i am the one before we start or continue.......
Being a widow i kind of need guarantees of love and commitment. And he has seen my circumstances and called it 'complicated' to my face. And is going to look for his partner. He is so cynical yet so needy of love and i need to sexually express it too, which he doesnt want.

The reason i take this meeting so seriously is that my ex-partner also ordained me. And i him and we immediately knew we had found each other and just loved each other and committed straight away. This new man is not recognising me consciously, and it hurts me now to be around him because of this. Since he wants me as a friend he sees while he dates other girls. I am getting to know him and need to know whether we can continue or whether we part. I can only see one man at a time.

please write me again. This site is just fab!

I must say that I have quite 'coincidentally' decided to have a look at ths thread since I also do not believe in coincidence. I am glad that someone has been through quite a similar spiritual development like I have been.

About 10 years ago my grandfather has died and before that I have had a very unusual dream. It is quite an unusual story - but the point is - that after that dream and the death of my grandfather as well as meeting someone in a very mystical way all kind of 'coincidences' and mystical events began to follow...

That special someone I have met after praying at one place - which has the same name like that individual whom I have met later on. He was not exactly the right partner for me but nevertheless 'from above' I was given a sign that these things really do exist and work.

About three years ago I have met someone else - also a love at first sight story - after praying before in one specific place - and again his name is like the one I have visited...

Both of the sites are in Prague. Prague is a very mystical city and both of those men I have met in the country where I am - Israel - which is also a place of very high spiritual potential.

You are quite sane,
do not let some less spiritualy evolved individuals to discourage you on your spiritual journey.

And by the way - I have also read the Star Signs and the mystical experiences began to be much more profound afterwards...

I am eager to read Gooberz - since it talks about the soulmates and so on - and since I am Pisces it is something that I can not miss out!(I think I might have met my soulmate three years ago - but we did not stay in touch...And even if he was not the right one I hope that the Universe will send me THE right person who will make me really happy!)

If you want to read more abouta couple of a strange 'coincidences' connected with that romantic story - go to Dreams of Africa at Astral Realms. Maybe you (or anyone else) can also help me to interpret that dream.

I'm so happy to know you are OK. I was worried about you after your last post a few months ago. Am off to work at the moment but will post more later today.

Randall,

Thank you for the "Welcome"!

To all,

May your lives be filled with success, happiness and most importantly...LOVE!

Synchronicity or morphic resonance (as it is also called) is there for everybody, if you are attuned to it. The thing is that we can all say, oh yeah, that happens to me a lot. But in actual fact, you need to start writing the "coincidences" in a journal to truly appreciate how many signs are in our life.

I read a couple of books (one called Coincidences - Accident or Design) by an Australian author called Ken Anderson. Three coincidences happened to me. So I emailed the author to tell him. He asked for permission to include my coincidences in his next book which was going to be about series coincidences. That's when one coincidence triggers off others.

I shall tell you of one of the coincidences I experienced while reading one of his books. He had included many letters from people that had sent him their coincidence stories. He listed their name and their town. Early in one of his books, like page 6 or 8, I read of a woman that came from a town that had the same name as the town in which I worked. I didn't think the author was an Aussie because the book had been published in England. So I thought, ah, there must be a town in England with the same name. I read on and discovered a couple of pages later, an Australian address for the author. Then, I went back to that earlier woman's story.

Something made me grab for the telephone book to look up her address. I work in a town of about 20,000 people, so the telephone book is small. As I was turning the pages over to find her surname, I thought, hmm, I wonder if my friend (surname of Bodsworth) knows this woman. I don't even know why I thought she would. Anyhow, I find this other woman's name and address and low and behold, she lives in a street called Bodsworth Lane. I didn't even know there was a Bodsworth Lane.

A couple of days later, I spoke to my friend and told her of the story. She laughed and said, there are only two houses in Bodsworth Lane and my grandfather built both of them. He lived in one, and we lived in the other. She is most likely living in the house where I grew up.

Mind boggling stuff. Okay, I can say that this stuff happens to me all of the time. I know, because I write it down.

Here is my latest string of coincidences. I have three sisters, two of them are married to Davids. I also have a step-brother called David. I recently met a man on the net called David.

He has the same birthday (exact same day and year) as my oldest sister's husband.

He lives interstate, two suburbs from where my youngest sister used to live.

David's surname is the same as my youngest sister's son.

David's ex-wife's first name is the same as my name. (Coincidentally, my mother remarried and her name is the same as my step-father's exwife).

He is a water sign and has the same initials as an ex-lover of mine, that is also a water sign.

We both have the sun and mercury in the 1st house.

His middle name is my step-father's first name.

Our mother's share the exact birthday (not sure about year, as he couldn't remember how old his mum is. Figured they were close, if not the same year, maybe a couple apart).

Neither of us follow Aussie Rules anymore but we both barracked for the same team when we did.

We have both lived in Melbourne.

He knew me as another name at first, so I told him to call me the combined initials of both names. Together they formed a sound which is his daughter's name.

So many signs. I think he is a soul mate. We met but he does not wish to pursue a relationship with me. All I can deduce is that he is not ready for me yet.

People come into our lives for a reason. To show us things and to help us grow. In a book written by Barbara De Angelis (called Secrets about Life Every Woman Should Know) she talks about a gathering of souls in between incarnations. A soul decides that they want to return to learn lessons A, B, and C. Then, asks the other souls in the room who will support them on their journey. From love, the other souls agree to meet this soul and play a part. It might be that the lesson can only be taught by the soul being treated unkindly. So, from love, the other soul agrees to come back and play the role of an abusing husband. The lesson is eventually learnt and the soul moves toward enlightenment.

And lastly, I wanted to write about your shadow self. The things that we like and dislike in other people are qualities that we have in ourself that we have not yet integrated. We might look at a hobo and say, oh yes, but I could never be a hobo. But you have to look further than that and say, but what made them a hobo? Maybe it was because they had no job. What if you had no job, no family, no house? Is it possible that you too may become a hobo? There’s a good book about this subject called The Dark Side of the Light Chasers written by Debbie Ford.

Hmm, sorry for the long post, but there were so many aspects that I wanted to communicate.

cheers
