Subject: On Target?

Ok, so yesterday I was to have a second interview with a company called Colorlink (American spelling). They had changed the interview from Tuesday to Monday, only I found this out late on Friday from my agency. I was to call them early Monday to advise that I could attend Monday instead. I left home early to avoid traffic (to Boulder where the interview was) and I phoned my Agency to advise that I could be there for either a 9am or 10am interview as I was in Boulder now and ready. She said she would call me back once she had confirmed with Colorlink.

On the way, the ABS brake light started to flick on and off and the right speaker in the front of the car started to turn on/off with the brake warning light. I turned off the stereo but the ABS brake light continued to flick on and off and instead of the music a loud clicking started to synch with the brake light flicking on and off.

I then got the phonecall from the agency that they wanted to know if I needed a "sponsored employer" visa to which I replied yes and you guys (the agency) already know this. She phoned back to say that Colorlink no longer wanted to see me as they were not in a position to sponsor me with a visa at this time.

Uh ha!

So this ABS brake warning light and the sound in the right hand corner (near the speaker) continued.

I drove to Target to pick up some odds and ends. Got back in the car and to my utter amazement the warning light was off and the CD/radio played normally.

Am I right on Target? Do I need to get on Target?

It gets better/wierder.

On the way to picking up my boyfriend from work, I saw a bird out of the corner of my eye as I was driving. Birds generally around here (actually I've only seen since I got here) fly in a v formation and in a group - they're mainly geese - SO THIS really caught my eye. A solitary eagle. Now it has to be said, this is the first eagle I've every seen in waking life. The only other association I have is, I did a dream documentary with Jane for Chanel 9 some time ago. In the dream I look up and see an eagle.... only I didn't see the eagle, Jane did on the way to filming and were able to film it and fit it into "my dream".

I think the eagle in that dream had something to do with the eagle eye view.

On Target..... Eagles eye view - wait a minute - I don't have a job and have to come back to Australia next month and don't know if I should come back as finding someone to sponsor me is proving near impossible!?!?!?

Hi JuliA,

My first reaction to your car story was "on again, off again". The interview was on and off, the ABS and the radio was on and off.

Here's a possibility: which targets in your life do you feel "on again, off again" about, and which ones do you feel certain about? Which ones require the overview of the eagle eye to make a firm decision? Where are you consistently "in tune" (the radio) and where are you hesitating about braking/not braking?

The eagle!

I think this little story was mentioned in the Members' Forum at one stage, but it might be worth repeating here in case it helps someone to help you work out this synchronicity:

Basically I was asked to script a dream and given about a half an hour to do it, for filming the next day. So it was only after I faxed the script that I thought the bit about the eagle flying overhead might be a tough call! Then I thought they would probably use stock footage.

The next day the Channel 9 crew turned up at my house and I went out to find the cameraman hastily setting up the tripod on the edge of the path and one of the crew running down the road after their driverless car! They had spotted the eagle soaring over my house, pulled over, jumped out of the car to film, incredulous at their luck, forgetting, in their excitement to put the handbrake on!

They caught the car ... they got great footage of the eagle .. we had a fun day filming and everything went smoothly. I heard that when the tv show did its 10 year retrospective late last year, they showed the piece again so they must have been happy with it. It was originally aired in 1993 (or 2?).

So - JuliA - in the film you saw the eagle 7 or 8 years ago, but in life you saw your first eagle yesterday.

Is it as simple as a TV or acting synchronicity? Work in the media... is that your consistent wish? Should that be your target?

Just some thoughts,

What do you others out there think?

All you have to do is think of the waking life synchronicities as if they were a dream, and play around with what comes up from there. When you DO hit target ... the meaning falls goose-bumpingly into place.

Great detective/ crossword puzzle brain workouts ...

Hi JuliA and Jane.

JuliA! I loved this. What a great series of synchs. definitely pointing to something.

Is there any significance for you with this little run on the word 'Brake':

Break out?

Break up?

Brake -- slowing?

Also, I paused when you spelled and explained the American spelling of Color. It leaves out the 'u' -- you???

Amazing about the eagle!

Angela.

Do you know that as I read JuliA's post, the light in my room flickered on and off, and I suddenly thought that I must replace the batteries in the torch I keep in my car! Hopefully this does not mean that I am going to break down sometime soon - but I guess I'll be prepared.

Hi JuliA, I had an unusual synch with your posting, but I have delayed for several days before writing this. I read your message late at night, just before bed about ten days ago. While reading it, the letters ABS kept jumping out at me...I didn't know why.

When I woke up early the next morning, my husband was sitting beside me telling me about a dream HE had that took place inside a record store. The name of the store....A&B Sound (ABS!) a place that sells CD's...and I noticed you mentioned Boulder, Colorado I am assuming...I spent christmas in Colorado (Westcliffe) with my husbands family.

Not sure what all that means, but I wanted to let you know. Laurann

WHAT IS
SYNCHRONICITY?

Jane Teresa's Explanation

Jane Teresa Anderson

WHAT IS SYNCHRONICITY?

________

Synchronicity occurs when you experience a coincidence, or several coincidences, that seem so bizarre that you feel they must be meaningful in some way.

Some people believe that synchronicities are signs to follow, to lead you to where you are 'meant' to be. My understanding, however, is that not all synchronicities are to be followed, because ...

Synchronicities are SYMBOLS of where you're at, not signs to follow.

Synchronicities speak the same symbolic language as dreams.

When you experience a synchronicity, you are witnessing a change within yourself, an insight, a birth of something that has been unconscious bubbling up into consciousness.

At such times of change we see, all around us, symbols that reflect our shift in perception and self-understanding. This is synchronicity.

To understand this fully, and to see why it is not always appropriate to follow synchronicity, you can read my book, THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. This way you can also discover how to read the synchronicities in your life and how to act on them in positive, life-enhancing ways.

Reality may never feel the same again!

______

P.S.

In Jungian terms all synchronicities begin with a dream.

The dream comes first, then the symbol from the dream appears in waking life in ways that seem incredibly meaningful - though, classically, it is hard to understand, consciously, what that meaning is.

This is because the dream is painted by your unconscious mind in advance of your conscious mind 'catching up'. When the insight (unconscious shift) is big, synchronicities follow.

What happens is that your incredibly powerful unconscious mind (far more powerful than your conscious mind) manifests its insight physically into your waking life. (You have changed - the world, as you experience it, changes in accordance.)

It usually takes up to a couple of weeks before your conscious mind understands the symbolic dream manifesting in your waking life as synchronicity.

Being human, as we all are, we often forget the original dream but still experience the synchronicities.

There are many excellent reference sources on Jungian synchronicity.

My approach is largely Jungian, but slightly shifted.

Again, if you are seriously in-depth interested, I suggest you read my book "THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" to understand where I am coming from.

Quite simply, synchronicity is a waking dream and interpreting it as such is immensely enriching.
