“What is the chance in Heaven, that you’ll find your way to me?”

Serendipity, by its simplest definition, is the chance meeting of two souls.   Popularized by movies, it has been used to characterize the “divine signature” of Eros.    One such movie, whose title is taken from the word itself, is worthy of note here:  two people, from completely different worlds, briefly meet at a random place.   Later, compelled by some inner urge, they go on their separate journeys to find each other.   In modern times, the idea of this has been belittled as a “fantasy”, and a product of superstition.   They believe that there is no such thing as “destined souls”.

Destiny exists.   To understand this, one must go through a brief, though somewhat analysis.   In our world alone, we live in a seemingly infinitesimal series of variables, caused by our collective and individual actions.   These actions, large or small, not only elicit a reaction, but a chain reaction.   Thus, a decision by a man from Chicago, though by several degrees, will affect the fates of six militiamen pending execution in Nigeria.   Though this might prove that thus, everyone is connected with everyone else, there is more: the variables that come from these overlapping actions and chain reactions are so vast as to be incomprehensible to the human mind.   With this limitation in thought, the products of these reactions have been generally dismissed as “unpredictable” and “unknown”, and collectively grouped into the future.

As we have said, however, Man is unable to comprehend these seemingly limitless series of algorithms.   So, though two souls may come together, he cannot be absolutely certain that this, indeed is his destined soul—even worse, that she, indeed is his only destined soul.   Many, over the generations, have studied the patterns of Life, and the course of these variables.  Their predictions are not a manner of the supernatural, but of complex mathematical equations, observed over time.

“She blinded me with science!”

 

I wrote in a previous blog of my analysis of attraction through Chemistry.  I was inspired by a National Geographic experiment: a Man was made to smells of the shirts of a randomly selected number of women, and those whose smells that seemed appealing to him, end up coming from those he seemed to get along well with.   I combined this study with another theory proposed in the movie Say it isn’t so.   According to that, a bull is attracted to a cow with a distinct biological signature, or smell.   When that smell is obscured by covering the cow in the bull’s own odor, the bull would no longer be attracted.

I surmised, that one can relate that to relationships—a Man is attracted to a woman because of a distinct, unique smell different from his own.   When, however, they come together, these smells mix, and become a distinct new compound, which explains why sometimes the Man seeks another, unique signature.   So, one surmises that to keep the “mystery” in a relationship, one has to constantly reinvent oneself, and change their biological signature (though Nature helps; our signature evolves in time).
