Life has certain themes that it plays out. Sometimes those themes operate to our advantage. Sometimes they work against us, especially if we repeat the same patterns or themes, over and over. For example, many people who get divorced fall in love again, but they end up in exactly the same kind of relationship they were in before.

They repeat the same trauma, and then they say, “Why does this keep happening to me?” The process of recapitulation can help us witness these patterns, and once we discern them, we can make more conscious choices. Journaling isn’t absolutely necessary, but it helps bring insights and coincidences to the surface.

So remain sensitive, observe coincidences during both your daytime living and your nighttime dreaming, and pay special attention to anything that breaks the probability amplitude — the statistical likelihood of a space-time event. We all need to plan things to some extent, to make assumptions about tomorrow even though we actually don’t know what’s going to happen. Anything that upsets our plans, anything that takes us off the trajectory we think we are on, can provide a major insight.

Even the absence of events that you expect can be clues to the intent of universe. People who have a hard time getting out of bed to go to a job they hate, who find it difficult to become engaged in their professional activities, who feel emotionally “dead” after a day at office, need to pay attention to those feelings. — Beliefnet.com
