The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire : Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence (Chopra, Deepak)

Summary: Spirituality for the Scientific Mind....
Review: If one is familiar with Chopra's former works, one is likely to have come across some discussion of the ideas discussed in the book.

Essentially, this piece speaks of the importance of clearly focusing the mind on an intention/desire (NB: writing down one's intention, goal, etc. is crucial), releasing the desire to the natural laws of the cosmos, then awaiting the arrival of coincidences as an indication of the unfolding of one's desires.

Chapters 1, 4,5, 9 and 11 are particularly intriguing and interesting. I rate the book 4 stars (instead of 5) because I found some chapters (the aforementioned ones) more useful than others. The other books I have read by the author have been extremely useful from cover to cover. Having said that however, it may well be the case that after applying some of the knowledge from the chapters I found the most relevant, I may well realize that other portions of the book are of equal usefulness--such is what can occur through growth and development. I would recommend this book for the "scientifically spiritual" individual.

Summary: Good Information on Becoming One With the Universe
Review: While it goes without saying that it's unlikely that a person could achieve enlightenment through a single book, I think this work is an excellent introduction to manifesting your desires through Unity Consciousness. This book has good, practical advice on Meditation, the use of Mantras and Sutras, and the utilization of the Vedic spiritual tradition as a mean of becoming aligned with universal intention. I have yet to find a book that gives an understandable account of the link between Quantum Physics and manifestation of personal desires. This book makes a good effort and is interesting, but I remain, sadly unenlightened. Maybe it's more about the journey than the destination.
