The Mind of God: Human Destiny, Music, and the Search for Meaning Amidst Tragedy Paul Cochrane

It is possible to find meaningwithin the context of human suffering. Having served as an emergency responderfor twenty years, I?ve been amazed how many times we have arrived withinminutes of an accident, only to find off duty doctors and emergency personnelalready there, providing assistance. They just happened by. Discovering this tobe a widespread occurrence, I began to wonder if it was just coincidence, orhad some deeper significance. In 1994, an event occurred thatwould forever change my life. For an entire week, every thought becamemeaningfully related to those things occurring in physical reality, as if thevery thought was creating it! Many of the events involved music, whose lyricsperfectly reflected what was happening at the moment. Psychologist Carl Jungcalled such events ?synchronicity.? In a detective mystery style, the booktraces a quest to discover its meaning, winding through ancient myth, science,psychology, and religion. Gradually it?s revealed thatcircumstances of chance happen to all of us, but positive compensations areorchestrated by a higher level of intelligence, leading us in an evolutionaryprocess, toward our destiny. What?s the source of this intelligence, and whatare we evolving toward? These are the questions addressed in the book. The conclusions reached arestartling, providing a unique perspective on Christianity and world culture. Included are such diverse elements as: the shroud of Turin, alchemy, Russianbiological studies, Darwinism, Linguistics, Chaos theory, Biblical passages,modern physics, and the Dead Sea and Nag Hammani texts. A truly life-altering experience,your perception of God and man will never be the same!
