Motifs of Life Altering Experiences

The manuscript reveals the dynamics of life-altering experiences as collaborative products of unwitting entrainments. Unwitting entrainments synchronizing our motifs can emerge into life-altering experiences. The manuscript strives to depict the ironic timing of synchronized entrainment present in perfect harmony. Taking two extra minutes drinking a Starbucks’s coffee saves a life, creating just enough delay in missing the 9/11 tragedy. The twelve chapters of the book progress from chance and a causal events to formative motifs, trauma, asymmetry, contours of illusions and reality, collapsing and expanding boundaries of motifs, depth perception, evil and the right stuff, peaks into the mystery, the arrows of time, multi-dimensional consciousness and transformational mastery of synchronization in multi-dimensional states of life experience. Case examples are illustrated.

Addictions, divorce, financial ruin, and damaged careers can all result from unwitting entraining of synchronized motifs. Fortuitous as well as disastrous coincidences of synchronizing events are possible outcomes of life-altering experiences. Formativeness of multifaceted motifs lie at the core of good and evil manifestations of events, affecting trauma and triumph. Mindful mastery of innate motif’s unique organizing capacity for meaningful lifestyle orchestration sustains one’s eventual emergence from the “I” of one’s storm, victoriously renewed in triumphant synchronization of unique self-hood motifs.
