One of the secrets of synchronicity that we are writing about in our book is that the art of divination–ie. the tarot, the I Ching and astrology–is a means of generating synchronicity.
To that end, we recently asked the I Ching to tell us about the importance of synchronicity, and this was the message we received from hexagram 15 (Modesty).
In part, it reads: “It dispenses the blessings of heaven, the clouds and rain that gather around the summit, and there after shines forth radiant with heavenly light.”
That changed to hexagram 45 (Gathering Together), which suggests: “In the time of gathering together we must arm promptly to ward off the unexpected. Human woes usually come as a result of unexpected events against which we are not forearmed. If we are prepared, they can be prevented.”
In other words, the I Ching seemed to say that synchronicities are a blessing from the heavens and that paying attention to those meaningful coincidences is a way of heeding warnings and gathering information to prepare for the future.

Hmm, threes seem to be common!
“Synchronicities are a blessing from the heavens and that paying attention to those meaningful coincidences is a way of heeding warnings and gathering information to prepare for the future.”
This prompted me to create a new file for “Quotes from other blogs”. Did you notice the numbers?
