Subject: Smashed Glass.....

Hi everyone

I'm not sure this warrants a mention here but I'm absolutely stumped on this.

Here's something...... E.V.E.R.Y time my sister comes over to my place she ends up breaking a glass. (I should mention here that she's not a clumsy person!!!) We've just moved to a new house, new area and my sister came over last night - my flatmate Chris joked "Caraline you're not aloud to drink out of any of our glasses - you broke the entire last set" - 5 minutes later Caraline and I were sitting in the sunroom and guess what....... she managed to smash one of a pair of beautiful glasses that Chris had given me.

We're going to start giving her coffee mugs or plastic cups from now on!

Not long ago I went to friend's housewarming party. She was showing us some glasses she'd bought on a trip to England and had carefully wrapped and transported back to Australia. One of her best friends promptly managed to break one of them!

As to what your sister constantly breaking your glasses is about:

Glass is what we see through but it separates us from what we are seeing. Glasses are what we drink out of: the water of life? Glasses are delicate, fragile and need handling with care. Glasses is very delicate and beautiful but when it breaks it becomes dangerous and can cut and damage us.

These are just random thoughts of what 'breaking glasses' could symbolise. Does anything resonate?

Hi Judy - thanks - yes in fact it could be what we see through but separates us from seeing! Caraline is very much like my mother and brings "mum energy" with her when she comes over including nagging my flatmate about stuff that doesn't concern her.

BUT ALSO Caraline is very delicate and fragile and needs handling with care whenever she's around me (my cancer sun tends to 'activate' her cancer moon!).

Many thanks Judy for triggering a whole line of thought on this.

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.
