A synchronistic series of events have led me to make a few observations about morality and religion.
Indeed, a belief in synchronicity is my last remaining indulgence in the metaphysical or esoteric. Put simply, it is the belief that certain coincidences are not coincidence at all. In his book "The Celestine Prophecy" James Redfield has a lot to say about synchronicity as an indication that, in a sense, "life is trying to tell you something."
