The school of life

You can find tons of synchronicity stories on the internet. And tons of books about the phenomenon, tons of explanations.

I experienced incredible synchronicities with you. Were they lessons from the spiritual dimension? Were they messages from a part of our unconscious mind? Is there a spiritual center somewhere in the brain? Is it about brain chemistry? Were they simply coincidences?

We tried to wrap our heads around this for years. We tried to find explanations. Were we soul mates? Did we meet in a previous life? Did an angel guide our steps, like a puppeteer? People around us thought we were crazy.

Psychologists, philosophers, statisticians, priests, New Age gurus, and ordinary laymen produce all kinds of explanations. How come that they arrive at different conclusions? And how can they be so convinced that they are right?

Is life a kind of school or is this idea simply a way of looking at things? Is there a life curriculum? What happens if we fail an exam? What happens if we drop out of the school of life?
