Synchronicity

Hello World!

Have you ever heard of synchronicity? Basically that is what people call coincidences. Me and my wife live by the idea that There Are No Coincidences.

An couple examples of synchronicities.

One day you and your friend are sitting on the couch watching TV. In your conversation with this friend you say, "I wish it would stop raining outside." One second after you say that a commercial on the TV says, "Is it still raining outside?" That is synchronicity. Your head does a double take and you look at your friend and ask them, "Didn't I just say that a second ago?"

You and your friend are at the mall. You look at your friend and say, "I wonder what happened to Jill? We haven't seen her in ages." Then 5 seconds later Jill passes you by. You wave her down and you and your friend say, "Wow! We were just talking about how long it has been since we saw you Jill! What a coincidence!"

That too is synchronicity.

Tithing is a spiritual law that God created. Harmony is the result of not breaking the law. We all know what happens when you break the law - disharmony. In reality the only laws you can break are man-made laws. You cannot really break Gods laws - you can only break yourself against Gods laws. Let me offer you an example to illustrate this.

Imagine one of Gods laws is a huge redwood tree. This redwood tree is a thousand years old and has withstood the test of time. It is fifteen feet thick. All you have is your hands. Now. Break the tree.

You won't be doing any damage to that tree with just your bare hands. What you will be doing is breaking yourself against that tree. Your hands will get scratched. If you hit that tree hard enough you will break your bones.

That is how Gods laws are. Perhaps there is a way to break Gods laws - but it is not within our power to do so. Perhaps there are beings beyond our understanding that can break those laws - but there really is no point pondering how to break them. The laws were designed by God to shape our growth and thus they are designed for us.

Synchronicity, I feel, is a sign that you are on the right path. It means you are not breaking yourself against Gods laws; you are working in harmony with them. The results of working in harmony with Gods laws is abundance on every level - spiritually, mentally, physically, in your relationships, and financially.

Tithing works not because you are tricking God. It is not sucking up to the big guy thinking you will get more than you give. It works because you are working with the law and not against it. The law requires constantly giving back from where you received. It requires constant circulation of money.

Abundance is your right. Abundance allows you to be more productive. God wants you to live abundantly.

The reason abundance enters your life when you consistently tithe is because you are reconnected with the law. Abundance is the natural order of things - lack of abundance is the same as disease - it is disharmony manifest.

Our purpose with tithing is to reconnect with Gods law and remove the disease of lack of abundance from our lives. We want to live more productive lives. Rather than idly praying for more abundance, we know that we must put our efforts forth and apply the law.
