What is coincidence?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Coincidence is the dance of freedom, where events unfold without the chains of cause and effect, revealing the spontaneity of existence."
According to Osho, coincidence is the realm beyond cause-and-effect and beyond Jung’s synchronicity—a space where no law binds events. It is the 'law of freedom' of your innermost core, where things happen without mechanical necessity or psychological resonance. Coincidences are pure, uncaused occurrences, revealing that life includes an open field of spontaneity and free possibility.
Sometimes things just happen for no reason at all—they aren’t caused by anything and don’t depend on your mood; that free space is coincidence.
