An acquaintance of mine, Dr. Bernard Beitman, wrote a book recently titled Connecting with Coincidence. Beitman is a forward-looking psychiatrist who investigates synchronicity —better known as coincidence, but taken more seriously. The book recalls to mind the passing notion that we are not at the top of the hierarchy of mental prowess, but more somewhere in the middle. There are numerous mysteries of mind that we don’t understand, from dreams to other experiences. So the study of coincidences can help us participate in this grooming through our awareness and contemplation of their common appearance in daily life.
