The Book

Make reality dance to the rhythms of your thoughts


The experience of meaningful coincidences is universal. They are reported by people of every culture, every belief system, and every time period. Synchronicity examines the evidence for the human influence on the meaningfulness of events, and the way the modern computational model of the mind predicts how we create meaning.

It demonstrates that these events, based on the activity of the mind, are caused by the person who perceives them. In this fascinating work, you will:

  • Learn to use your amazing ability to create synchronistic events.
  • Discover how your mind creates the reality you experience.
  • Unlock your brain’s vast resources of connectivity and creativity.
  • Change from living as a separate being to living as a part of the unified whole.

Synchronicity will show you how you already create events around you, and will make you a conscious co-creator of your reality. Dr. Surprise describes the miracles of your brain’s processes, merging the worlds of modern physics and ancient mysticism to reveal abilities you have always possessed, but were not fully understood-until now.

Once the butt of jokes and derision, the concept of synchronicity now is a topic that is being taken seriously. Quantum physics, chaos and complexity theory, and on-local phenomena have found this arcane perspective to be a surprising contemporary framework from which to understand many puzzles of the cosmos and of humanity’s place in it. Kirby surprise has provided his readers with an original revisioning of synchronicity that may well take his readers by surprise!

Awaken your innate and ancient ability to detect synchronistic patterns in your life and surroundings and unravel their meaning, urges Kirby Surprise. The author lucidly explains how our brains are, in fact, predicated on this ability to detect patterns out of the morass of sensory stimuli we take in at any given moment. Not only can we detect these synchronistic events around us, but we should. Even more, we can directly participate in the manifestation of synchronistic phenomena through vigilance and focused attention. The author beckons us to change our reality by changing our relationship to synchronicity and offers practical guidelines—and even a set of seven games—to put synchronicity to work in your life. You’ll find this an entertaining, edifying and engaging read. Read on!

Book Reviews

“Synchronicity is teeming with delightful and often compelling surprises about the nature of meaningful coincidences in contemporary life. The author’s prose is playful, provocative, and profound. Though you may not agree with all of Professor Surprise’s conclusions, this book should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand the magnificence and mystery of synchronicity.”
—Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, professor of psychology and medicine, The University of Arizona, and author of The Sacred Promise

 

“An interesting mix of mythology, neuroscience, and common sense, this book takes a serious, but light-hearted look at the way synchronicity works and the degree to which it can be controlled. Going well beyond the ideas of Jung, synchronicity’s discoverer, psychotherapist Surprise draws on anthropology, String Theory, and Walt Disney to make the case that our internal states do effect external events....”
—Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer

 

A true thriller from cover to cover—Kirby Surprise proves that there really is nothing more fascinating and mysterious than the human mind.
