This book is dedicated to Rupa Westbrook,
with love, laughter, and gratefulness. CP

And to the late Stephen Rousett,
with love and the greatest
respect for the huge heart and
tremendous courage and wisdom

Each Person comes into this world with a specific destiny he or she has something to fulfill, some message that has to be delivered, some work that has to be completed. You are not here accidentally you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

OSHO

Contents

EVERY GREAT STORY has a theme running right through it. We know this from the books we read, the movies we watch, and the tales told around the campfire. But our lives the human stories that unfold in real time day by day also carry a central theme, a narrative thread that determines the type of person we are and the kind of existence were here to experience. The life we are destined to lead.

William Jennings Bryan said that destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. But our pivotal choices are surely better informed if we know we are headed in the right direction, walking the right path. And thats where The Book of Destinies comes in.

As this wonderful guide goes on to explain, there are actually 192 possible incarnations or Life Themes that govern who we are. Whichever one applies to us, it is woven through the essence of our character and personality since the moment of birth, foreshadowing our souls purpose. Once our individual theme is known, we can then embark on a journey of self-revelation, exploring how we can best utilize that themes message in order to fulfill our time on Earth.

Stories need a meaning, as do we as people. But sooner or later, most of us encounter some level of self-inquiry that often includes the vexing questions: Who am I? What is my role here? I, too, have been there, propelled by a fervent belief that everyone is created with an inborn purpose and a unique way to unlock our highest potential. At this stage of my journey, as a seeker of wisdom and an avid student of the human condition, it is not often that I am truly surprised with the revelation of new meaning about myself. But then I discovered the profound work of Chetan Parkyn, which is why I am happy to introduce this book detailing each of the 192 Life Themes. In it, Chetan leads each of us to our untold inner story. Once discovered, our Life Theme will serve as a call from our soul to wake up to the destiny we were born to fulfill.

It was my great pleasure to experience a series of three life-changing readings with Chetan in 2014, and when he pointed out my Life Theme the theme of Contagion it described me to a T. It made sense on so many levels and echoed the spiritual drive that has been the central purpose for my being. What was particularly amazing was the fact that he had absolutely no way of knowing the most intimate aspects of my nature, and yet he revealed many dimensions of my innermost self, working only from my birth information.

That same information birth date, time, and place can now guide each of us to our unique Life Themes, courtesy of this book and the remarkable exploration contained within its insightful pages. If you have read his first book, Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be, you will already be familiar with the lightbulb moments that illuminate our innermost self. Its as if he is reading our design for life, as archived in some magical scroll at the exact time we entered this universe.

I have had the good fortune to spread my work and teachings to millions of people worldwide, first through the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, which has sold over 500 million copies in multiple languages, and later through The Success Principles. I have devoted my life to empowering people with the principles, strategies, and skills laid out in each of those books and demonstrating that we each have the capability to unlock our greatest potential and achieve success and happiness. I know that Chetan is dedicated to that same outcome. It makes abundant sense that if we are to be in control of our own success and personal fulfillment, then understanding our purpose, our mission, and our essence is a key component of whatever our strategy needs to be.
