Jane initiated for me a second TV appearance, which once again brought up much terror and doubt on my part. This dream came a few days before the filming:

Two little boys, one white and one Asian (aged about 8-10) are in a swimming pool. The little white boy has his feet on the Asian child's shoulders, preventing him from coming up for air. The woman by the edge of the pool blows her whistle, dives in, and on the second attempt, all three emerge from the water.

The white boy is asked by a woman in an office what happened, and the he says, 'You'd better ask HIM'. The boy is told he cannot use the pool as this behaviour cannot be tolerated. He walks sadly away.

On the morning I had this dream, I was engrossed in a book called 'Compass of the Heart'. I decided not to work on the dream straight away. However, whilst reading, a powerful urge came to work on the dream. When I spoke to the characters in the dream, it emerged that the white boy (representing the known) liked the way how things were, and the new boy coming up would change things. Everything is good and safe, and he would spoil things. The Asian child then told me that there was room for both of them. The white child (the known) is the foundation stone to anything new coming in. He is essential in the scheme of things. However, it is important that the new (the Asian child) is allowed to emerge otherwise we stagnate. I realised this dream came because of my fear of the unknown, (the live filming) and I suggested they played together in the water, and then returned to my book.

On the very next page I read:

"Their marriage was like the river from which they drank. It did not drown who they were as separate human beings. It helped them walk in balance". Beautiful, eh?

Hi Carole.

Beautiful indeed.

It was you who has actually made me aware of this need to integrate and balance through your words on my last dream. It is nice to see the process working and thriving in your life.

All the best on the 'next' TV appearance...

WHAT IS
SYNCHRONICITY?

Jane Teresa's Explanation

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.
