Somewhere along the way, many of us forgot how to believe in what is possible, to dream.
To dream of who we wanted to be.
To dream of the kind of world we wanted to live in.
Where do we find ourselves instead? …Managing? Coping? Reacting? Struggling? And at the same time, knowing deep within ourselves that there is another way!
What have we done with that part of ourselves (or others) that can envision a better life, a better world?
The cornerstone of the Reconsider ethos begins with an invitation back into the Mystery of life, into what is possible and to view it through a Cycle of Creation—it reconnects us to our ability to manifest from a more conscious and connected place.
Quick Look: What Is the Cycle of Creation?
Time to Here, we see life as a dynamic, creative process. The Cycle of Creation is a way to remember aspects of ourselves that we have forgotten—so we can play with life in a more powerful way.
It unfolds across four directions:
Heart / Passion: The spark. The desire that ignites a new idea or a feeling of longing.
Spirit / Dream: The vision. What we envision is possible when we let our imagination go.
Mind / Analyze: The structure. The planning and assessment needed to make a dream a reality.
Body / Manifest: The action. Bring what is possible into form, in real time…individually and collectively.
We ask others what are the two aspects that Western culture values most, the vast majority say Mind and Body. Isn’t that interesting? Then we ask, what do we do with Heart and Spirit? What would you say? We often hear, we demean, shut down, oppress etc.. With so many people saying the same thing, it means that at some level we know we are doing this.
The next question is why? Why are we doing this?
Are you ready to ask why? Ready to dream?
How to Play with the Cycle
Here’s a simple way you can begin playing with the Cycle of Creation:
1. Heart: Feel What’s Stirring
What is something you are passionate about or long for? Feel it and write it.
2. Spirit: Let Yourself Dream
When you think about it, how do you imagine it being?
3. Mind: Make It Real
What are the steps that are needed to do this?
4. Body: Take Action
When and/or with whom would you do this?
Choose something small and just play—write it down. Let yourself surprise yourself. It takes practice to not just come from the mind. Don’t worry…you will be able to learn how.
The intention you start with is Key:
Whatever energy you begin a process with will guide it.
This is why we begin with being before doing. If your intention is rooted in greed, control, power over or sharing, honoring, service and of course…love,—your creation will reflect that.
So before you begin anything today, ask:
What is my true intention?
What energy am I bringing into this? And why?
Want to Play with What is Possible?
If your answer is YES, you are NOT alone.
