I'll save you all the trouble of wading through the Celestine Prophecy. It's an okay book, part adventure quest, part basic spirtuality how-to. If I remember correctly, we meet particular people at a certain times in our life because they have a lesson to teach us or we to teach them. Coincidences are part of this phenomenon - the right person turning up in the right place at the right time. Or the right movie or book that highlights an issue that you are dealing with in your life.
Psychology tells us coincidences are caused by heightened awareness - you notice that strange new word more in conversation because you are attuned to it.
There is a researcher in England who has done quite a bit of work on coincidences and has published at least one book. I heard him on NPR once it it was fascinating - he has actually named a number of the coincidences you've talked about.
My favorite is the library angel - when you look down at the shelf and find the exact book that you eed for your research.
