Last week I published a new article on this site, Elderly people - can you afford not to help them. (See under 'Articles.') A brilliant medical doctor friend in Mexico, Dr Pepe Valencia emailed. He's published eight books on palliative care and been a live-TV advice doctor. He wrote a heartfelt plea to all his friends to fund his Foundation helping the elderly.
Certainly I don't have enough money to fund a large Foundation. The best I thought I could do was publish his article online, and see if someone responds... It was a sort of prayer to readers, and to God and the spirit world, to see if something can be done to help.
Yesterday something amazing happened. Pepe Skyped me for the first time this year. As we chatted, another Mexican friend, Martha, messaged for only about the 3rd time this year. As I waited for Pepe's message reply, I typed Martha a question, asking about her new job.
Have you guessed it...?
She works for an organisation that helps Foundations raise funds! :-)
So she and Dr Pepe are in contact...
Of course this could be yet another coincidence. But... Synchronicities in my life, unexpected solutions to people's problems, occur too fast, too regularly, and too strangely...
It's as if focussed love, a powerful intention to help and achieve a good deed, creates a space in the atmospheric fabric to behold requests for those good deeds in a special Light. And that Light can be "viewed" by God, angels or spirits and consciously acted on. Or "felt" by relevant people and unconsciously acted on.
As Kayce, a lovely friend from Malaysia said once, "Allan, you're scary!" She'd phoned me two hours before, saying her Malaysian cousin had tried for 20 years to find a lost uncle in England. Two hours later, after a truly weird "coincidence", I phoned her with his address and phone number.
Yesterday Kayce asked me to find her a partner. She loves England and visits regularly. How on Earth can I find her a partner, I thought. But... Immediately after she asked, the first friend I spoke to said her ex-husband would like to meet an Asian woman... Synchronicity...? Watch this space...
And remember, a beautiful and perfect God-given synchronicity could be just around your next corner...
