I was having friends around for dinner last night and had cooked a Thai curry. In it I had substituted green beans for snow peas as snow peas were too expensive. Our guests arrived and one handed me a bag of snow peas and said "Have you any use for these?" Synchronicity at work - I love it.

And today, not long before I read your message, I read a silly story in Woman's Day about Princess Diana and James Hewitt. One odd fact from the story had stuck in my mind - that when they had their first meal together, they had chicken in a cream and lemon sauce with mange tout (snow peas) and green beans. How wonderfully weird! Regards. Judy

Judy - how synchronistic!(is that a word?). The same person who gave me the snow peas had just spent a few days at Noosa with my husband & I and her husband. On two successive nights as we were going out to dinner she found a $50 note on the footpath. She says her synchronicities etc happen more with me than with anyone else (we have know each other since we were 12mths old).Regards - Sue H

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.
