I'm a Brit. Nine years ago, when I was made redundant, I decided to do contract work whilst exploring the interconnectedness of all things, based on a covenant I'd made with God some years earlier: discovering the interconnectedness and writing about the resulting evidence. I'm a Christian and also a big fan of Carl Jung. He used the term "synchronicity" of course to describe all this. I practise this each and every day, letting my mind become open to it, being grateful when it shows up and using it to guide my life to ever deeper levels of meaning and love. My first book "An Ethiopian Odyssey" is about my search for former classmates inspired by a dream in 2000, in which I'd dreamt I'd returned to Addis to help provide water for the very poor. (I went to school there from 1962 - 1964). When I set off to accomplish this, I discovered how kind people were, and in 11 months, travelled 25,000 miles and found 2/3rds of my classmates! On our true paths - and we all have our destinies - we frequently find that we're only 1 or 2 people away from the people we need to find. I discovered this in pre-Facebook days. NOTHING is random! The book was published in 2006 and sold in 21 countries, albeit small quantities. Half the royalties go to fund water projects in Ethiopia, via wateraid: http://www.wateraid.org Of course, right now science is sceptical and religion has become, sadly, so very divisive. Yet humanity is so very connected and compassionate. I'm now completing my second book which demonstrates this even more, particularly from the standpoint of suffering. I hope you find my website of interest. Thanks for your interesting post! Jim, I happened on your blog when I typed in “interconnected lives” on google. I’m a Brit.
