Your thoughts on The Synchronicity Key: The Hidden Intelligence Guiding the Universe and You by David Wilcock.

Asked by Inspired_2write (14486points) February 7th, 2018

In this book the writer states that there are no coincidences,and thus implies that everything is planned or destined.
What do you think about his statement and or book.
Perhaps there is no coincidence in those false alerts over the past month in Hawaii and elsewhere.

What is your thoughts on this?

^^^That was completely arbitrary.

But was it?

This is just another restatement of the “god knows everything and nothing happens without God” hypothesis. It has been around for 500 years or more.

It has been highly disputed over the centuries as well, because it implies that there is no such thing as free will. And that’s a problem for philosophers and theologians. If there is some divine planner, why is there sin?

Anyway, Wilcock is just rehashing old arguments. Nothing new here.

Seems to me that if you accept the premise, you eliminate the possibility of free will on the part of individuals, leading to some rather stark realizations for us as a society. For example, can criminals be prosecuted (or even defined) if their actions are predestined

So, is it guiding or is it all preordained? There is a difference.

The problem that having everything preordained and having a predetermined conclusion is why bother? If everything is known beforehand why even do the experiment? To what end?

Is there a methodical way of testing this hypothesis? If it is not testable, it is not worthy of consideration.

If our lives follow a predestined path, perhaps the path allows for choices?

In another way, perhaps we are given a set of parameters of which we can chose to go or not, but the main route is provided so that one can go off on side roads , so to speak?

We may be predestined for a path but not the choices ..we are free to decide on which course to take.

@rojo
I believe guiding so to speak is a good term in this theory.
Guiding but allowing choices.
