Q&A: Are Synchronicities a Sign of Spiritual Progress?

July 9, 2020 · by · in All Posts, Food for Thought, Q&A, Suggested Reading

Synchronicities are commonly perceived as a sign of great spiritual progress. In my observation however, it is quite the opposite, and usually accompanies spirit attachments. Below is an excerpt from a recent discussion on my student Whatsapp group.

Can you please explain synchronicity with real life examples?

Things like… you repeatedly see the same numbers everywhere – on phone, laptop, bills, car number-plates… (Seeing it once in a blue moon is not the same thing. When it is repetitive and frequent then it is something wrong). Seeing your boyfriend/ girlfriend or exes names everywhere, maybe you’re humming a song and the same song plays as you enter a restaurant, etc.

Understand that in isolation these can often be genuine signs of being in alignment. Once in a while is often good. But if it is happening every week or every day or every few hours then something is really wrong.

I have known these as some sort of alerts but i used to consider them as a positive entity so far. They’re not?

Yeah you’ll find hundreds of articles telling you it’s a great sign of spiritual progress. Not in my experience. I’ve told many clients to cleanse themselves when this happens – sometimes with and sometimes without explanation and it stops for everyone after they are clean energetically. If it was a sign of positivity, it should have increased.
Actually the most spiritual people often live the most ordinary lives.

Can you please share some experiences of people where they encountered genuine guidance?

See genuine guidance often comes without the label of ‘divine’. If you are seeking sincerely the right thing to do, then it will be someone you love or respect telling you something. And when you follow that, things fall into place. They key is to want to do the right thing, instead of giving your power to some ‘higher’ being. It is one thing to be in surrender to the divine. It is quite another to give away one’s responsibility to learn to take the right decisions and wait for some eternal parent to tell you what to do. The universe will almost never tell you ‘what to do’ in terms of taking a decision. It might give you a nudge sometimes to take some action which will change the course of things, but big decisions in life are learning points which we have to learn to navigate ourselves for growth.

So real guidance could be a dream or say, two friends insisting you must go to this specific temple. (If this is too difficult or not possible, then it is likely not divine at all). Guidance could be, a friend who out of character gives you advice that actually applies. It could be in a book that you’re reading and shifts you deeply
