The Source and Significance of Coincidences: A Hard Look at the Astonishing Evidence

MIND-BENDING EVIDENCE THAT WILL CHALLENGE SKEPTICS AND BELIEVERS ALIKE Every now and then, we all have experiences that seem too meaningful to be chance but that we can't explain in any normal way. Now, philosopher Sharon Hewitt Rawlette tackles some of the hardest questions surrounding such coincidences, also known as "synchronicities": How can we calculate whether a synchronicity is too improbable to be just chance? What hard evidence is there that these events convey genuine messages from God or our deceased loved ones? Do ordinary people have the psychic ability to create coincidences, for themselves or others? Why do coincidences sometimes harm or deceive? Rawlette explores a wide array of extraordinary human experiences--many of them seemingly supernatural--and uses both their commonalities and their contradictions to begin outlining an answer to these difficult questions. From statistics and laboratory research on psychokinesis to the content of near-death experiences, deathbed visions, apparitions, and even the occasional encounter with what appear to be angelic figures, Rawlette lays out a vast panorama of human experience that clearly points to a meaningful reality beyond the bounds of current science, and at the same time demonstrates both the promise and peril of interpreting synchronicities as unequivocal signs from above. Rigorously paradigm-shattering, this volume will leave skeptics and believers alike ruminating for years to come.
