Wow what a week. And it aint over yet. My lessons in co-creativity this week have been massive and humbling. Will I ever reach the bottom of the humility pit? Im realizing how unfair of an expectation this is to put on oneself, and feel liberated in reaching this new point of perspective. Assumptions abound in all directions, and I behold my own fair share. You dont realize how much you assume about people and life until you really get down in the dirt with it all. Sometimes I wonder how Ive managed to get as far as I have with so much of my world based on my own apparent fabrication. My BIG HUGE LESSON in conscious co-creativity this week: Whenever I can, I will choose intimacy before productivity. When I dont take the time to know people up front - their journeys, their challenges, their triggers, their knowings and not knowings, I have no idea the assumptions I am making, nor do they about me. On my end I notice that my age, my white skin, and my professional history seem to characterize me to others- and indeed used to characterize me to myself - in a way that feels almost irrelevant to me now. And on the other end, those who know me on this awakening path do not know how much practical experience and wisdom I have from my professional life before awakening, and the assumptions abound around that missing aspect of knowing about me. Relaxing into wild genius, into a person reconnecting with her natural intelligence and the way of co-creation that this brings is SO different from what my world showed me and I showed it back before it all stopped making sense and blew up in my face. We are all these magical beings at the core, and the magic has been gone too long. What I thought was real is fake and what I thought was make believe is real. The genius that becomes accessible to us when we can enter a moment without expectation is the most powerful and astounding force I have ever seen. But it takes a certain kind of setting to facilitate that, one that takes us by surprise and sweeps reality out from under us. One that puts us - our essence, our journey, our skills, and our talents - not the work we THINK we have to DO, first. When we can do this, nature takes care of what we produce and what needs to be done, and nature is the one who knows how to lead. Intimacy before productivity. This has shown itself to me to be one of the keys to naturally intelligent co-creativity, true community and love. Im growing the muscles to be who I am doing what I love for the good of life. It aint easy, but its worth it. Truth and Dare: Lean into truth and the dare takes care of itself.
