Coincidences and Life

     Life and Coincidences - Part 2

   Much later in the 20th century, Dr. Paul Kammerer scientifically conducted his experiments for days and months by recording people’s talks and also noting down the details of their personality inclusive of their age, sex, dress or any other relevant characteristic thereof. Finally Dr. Paul Kammerer published his conclusions in the form of a book entitled, “The Law of Seriality”. In this book he had come to the conclusion that coincidences came in series and they were a kaleidoscopic exhibition of various unknown cosmic forces.

   After Dr. Paul Kammerer, two European minds combined their efforts. These two men were Wolfgang Pauli and the Swiss psychologist and philosopher Professor Carl Gustav Jung. Both of them deeply researched the controversial topic and concluded that coincidences were nothing but "the visible traces of the untraceable principles”. A single mysterious force at work in the universe tries to harmonize the disharmonized life. Thus it imposes its own discipline over the confusion and disorder of human life.

   First of all, we should understand, what is coincidence? How and why does it happen? So far nobody had been able to figure out the reasons behind them. Almost everyone has experienced the effects of this phenomenon in his or her life at one stage or the other and surprisingly enough, coincidences occur even in most insignificant things of life.

   A young ambitious actor was to appear before an interview board. It was a golden chance for him to prove his determination. But the book from which he was to prepare his role was not available to him. He searched for the book everywhere, but he could not find it. Ultimately, with great disappointment, that young actor was boarded the city bus to return home. In the bus a middle-aged man, who was carrying some book, stood by him. As the bus became over crowded, the man requested him to hold some books for him. But when he got down, that man just forgot to take back those books.
