Necessary starting conditions to
access the intention for our life In review of the lessons learned from individuals who have actively pursued the awareness for the intention for our life, the following have been necessary on the journey. The recommendation is to explore what is required to create these conditions so as to either have them available to know how to create them as they needed. A safe and secure space is needed to be free to experience what needs to be experienced in the way it needs to be experienced. A safe and secure space is not just a physical location but includes the individual or individuals who help you to have the experiences you need to have. That is, they are willing to be present and not judge what you need to experience. It may be one place or a series of places each addressing a different aspect of what needs to be done such as the learning center and retreat center discussed below. Similarly it maybe be include one individual through the entire process or a series of individual who make it safe and secure. Do not become fixated on a particular place or a particular individual person. Realize the safe and secure space can be created anywhere, any time or any place. The question is whether or not where you are is a safe and secure to do what needs to be done in the moment. When we focus our attention and awareness into this area, we will begin to see what a safe and secure space really means to us. Although there are generic aspects to a safe and secure space, the safe and secure space that we each need will have slightly different requirements. We each need to become aware of what it is that really makes us safe and secure. As we focus our attention and awareness in this area, we should not be surprised if fears, anxieties, memories of the past and the like that have made our life unsafe being to arise. As the past arise in this way we should focus our attention and awareness on what arises to see what is really holding us captive and not allowing our creative spirit to be free. We need to address the real hazards that may exist and implement any compensatory measures that may be appropriate. We will need a "place" to learn and understand the concepts and principles that will help make it safe for our mind to be willing to step aside and experience the depth of feeling required to access the awareness which contains the knowing about the intention for our life. The learning center may be simply sitting in front of your computer reading what needs to be understood. Or it may be a "school" that you attend to learn what is needed. There are two issue here. One is to know what we will use to guide our path or at least to begin our journey. Ultimately we will need to follow our own truth and operate from our internal compass. But we will need something to help us to get there. Whatever we choose should bring a feeling of freedom and expansion into our being to know that we are growing into the fulness of being in what we learn. This in turn, brings up the question, "Do we really know what serves our being?" We may need to spend a little time explore what serves and doesn’t serves us. We will need to know whether or not what we learn is providing the occasion for us to expand into the infinity of our being. Or, is what we learn holding our creative spirit captive different cage of our own making by what we are being taught. The retreat center is a safe and secure space where we can go and experience what we need to experience. It probably will ultimately be several different places each of which give us the opportunity to experience a different aspect and expression of our creative spirit. The retreat center may be the learning center but they need not be the same. The question we need to ask ourselves are, "Where can I go that I feel safe to experience what I need to experience?". Then when we get there we need to ask, "Am I safe to do what I need to do and experience what arises?" If we don’t feel safe for whatever reason, we need to take whatever action we need to do to feel safe or go someplace else. If we are unable to find a place that feels safe then we will need to look at the possibility we just do not want to face what we need to face and not being able to find a safe and secure space is just the excuse we are using. A trusted individual is someone who can create and hold the safe and secure space for us so that we may experience what we need to experience. It is someone whom we can trust who holds our creativity sacred and the desire that our creative spirit is free to express itself in whatever way it needs to be expressed. The individual should have no attachments and/or desire to possess or own us in any way. They must be willing to allow our creative spirit to become totally free. In this regard, spouses, lovers, parents, partners and the like can only go so far in creating the space for an individual’s creative spirit to become free. Here we may find the need for more than one individual. Namely an individual to take us past what a spouse, lover, parent or partner cannot provide. Also the trusted individual may change based on what we need to experience. For example, the awareness of the intention for our life arises from deep feelings that go beyond sexuality and can carry sexual overtones. There may be times when we need to fully experience these sexual overtones but the a trusted individual we use for most of what we need to do has a sexuality attraction for us, or us for them, which may not be appropriate. Here the issue is not whether one engages in sex. The issue is whether or not the sex and its associated baggage distracts us from what it is we are trying to achieve, that is, freedom for our creative spirit to fulfill the intention for its life. The obvious question we face here is, "How do we know who we can trust?" The issue is two fold. Can we trust them and can we trust ourselves. The issue is not always the other person. Often we are with an individual that is completely trustworthy for what we need to experience but the issue of trust lies within us. We cannot trust ourselves to effectively know how to address what arises within us. But then again, everyone cannot be trusted to be present for the types and kinds of experience we will need to have. We may finds individuals who are trustworthy in some situation but not others. Two recommendations are made on the issue of find a trusted individual. The first is to look at the individual’s track record. Has the individual been trustworthy in the past and consistent in what they say and what they do. The modern world look to certifications, licenses and the like to help ensure what an individual provides is consistent and in accordance with an established standard of service provided by the certification. However, there is no certification for trust. All the credentials in the world does not ensure an individual is trustworthy relative to what we need to face. The best we can do with an individual with an unknown track record is trust them in little things gradually going into bigger things and see if the trust and integrity is maintained. The second thing we need to do is become very mindful and aware of what we feel when we are with someone. It is here our intuitive guidance becomes very important. We need to become aware if we start to have intuitive insights that there is some type or kind of trust issue surfacing. We need to develop a sense of trust within ourselves to know if what we feel is a trust issue of our past or whether the individual is doing something we perceive as being untrustworthy. It is here the ability to know ourselves, discern what we feel and to know our own truth is extremely important. No one can teach us how to trust or what we feel when we are within a safe and secure space and can fully trust what occurs. It is something we need to experience. We will need to do our own experiments in this area and allow effectiveness to be our measure of truth. Additionally, we should seek to be able to trust the creative process. Through such topics as the "Origins of Creation" and the "Observer observed pair and the nature of duality," we need to come to know that what occurs in our life that, at some level of our being, we either created it or agreed to participate in it. In this awareness, we can being to see where we have consciously or nonconsciously as result of programming and/or not following our truth created our problems. Someone to hold us accountable (Top) Going to the deep feelings necessary to access the knowing to understand the intention for our life can be very difficult. There are many things which will arise that can cause us to become distracted. The journey requires us to either address or move pass many of the reasons and associated pain of the past that do not allow us to readily feel. Usually they are the result of the variety of reasons why we lost the ability to be in creative play and/or are unable to allow the free expression of our creative spirit because of how it was thwarted for one reason or another in one way or another. Consequently, many challenges arise to give us a reason to abandon the journey to access the awareness that gives rise to knowing the intention for our life. Few of us have the passion to purse and remain on the journey. More often than not, we need someone to hold us accountable to our intention and continually bring our focus back to what we desire. The individual who holds us accountable to the our journey may or may not be a trusted individual as described above. That is, the individual can hold us accountable to what we may need to do but, for whatever reason, they may not create the space and hold the safe and secure space to do it. The individual who holds us accountable must be willing to honor what we seek to do and not judge what we do or why we do it. They can advise us and make recommendations but not judge us. They should be good a probing our motives and continually seek to see if we are acting from the truth of our being or acting in response to past programming or what the external world expect of us. They need to look to see how and where we are compromising our truth. Individuals who have been trained and function in a professional capacity such as spiritual teachers, counselors, therapist, medical personal, coaches and the like are not always the best individual to hold us accountable to our truth. Quite simply, they have been trained and practice within a particular perspective about Creation and what it means to be a human being in creation. The individual who best holds us accountable is one who holds a creativity perspective and they holds our creativity sacred. They realize we are a totally unique creation and a unique aspect of consciousness. They understand our creative spirit has particular experiences it incarnated to have. Someone who effectively holds us accountable is someone who will hold us accountable to coming to as clear awareness as possible to do what we incarnated to do and hold us accountable to doing it. All of what is described and discussed in "The things we need to review and understand," "Create a series of rituals and an initiation," "Parallel activities for accessing the intention for our life" and as actions in any form should be witnessed. That is, the actions should be done in front of someone to see that we are actually doing an performing what is called to do. That is, no mental exercises permitted. Creation is about manifesting in Physical Creation. By performing before others in one way or another we manifest in action all that these actions require. In this regard, we will need to have witness for all we do. It needs to be realize the fear of being intimate in front of another and/or the desire to keep what is intimate private ultimately robs us of our creative ability and creative power. We are robbed for at some level all is interconnected and there are no secrets. Believing we can have secrets only leads to separation. It leads to a separation both within ourselves and in the world we experience. The inner is reflected in the outer. To live the intention for our life we will need to become very intimate with our creative spirit and that intimacy within ourselves will be reflected externally in some way. In this regard we must be will to be naked in our truth and willing to have ourselves fully revealed without any covering. The witness may be a an uninvolved observer or be a person with whom we perform the action. For example, the person to whom we tell our story is also a witness that we have told our story. However, for reason similar to that address in the topic "An awareness in what we feel," and the attachments we have to a spouse, lover and the like, the witness to our actions should be someone other that such an individual. However, the witness does need to be willing to honor our desire to access the intention for our life and do what they can to support our efforts without judgment. How to find/create the starting conditions (Top) The best way to create these starting conditions and maintain them is to allow our internal compass to be our guide. Calibrating our internal compass and allow the fullness of being and feeling of expansion into the infinity of our being to guide us. That is, when we do what we need to do, we can feel ourselves expanding and blossoming much as if we watched a time lapsed movie of a flower or bud on a tree to blossom. The journey to find the intention for our life is a blossoming. We are literally and figurative blossoming into what it is that we are here to do. The recommendation is to (1) calibrate our internal compass and (2) start with what is most safe for us to do where we find ourselves allowing our internal compass to guide our actions. As we strengthen our ability to use our internal compass, we can then use the internal compass to move into the more challenging actions and find both that safe and secure space the individual whom we can trust to support whatever action we need to take in the moment. Do not become fixated on a particular individual helping us or a particular place. They both may change and may change for each action we need to do. All we need to do is create a single point focus to follow our internal compass and explore each of the endeavors we undertake on our journey in addition to anything our intuitive guidance asks us to do Those who support and will stand by us (Top) It has been found, that to live the intention for our life there needs to be at least one individual who is willing to play three roles or more than one individual willing to play what each of these roles require. First, which is actually the third role to be played, is there needs to be at least one individual who will create and hold a safe and secure space for our creative spirit once out to experience the freedom to create in the way it needs to create. This safe and secure space needs to be held until our creative spirit is strong enough to stand on its own two feet in the world. This is the role the dream nanny would perform. However, before the creative spirit can come out and experience its freedom, someone must be willing to create the conditions for it birth. This is the second role to be played and the role of the dream midwife. There is the need of an individual to create a safe and secure space for us to explore the depth and breadth of feeling to (1) discern the feeling which provides the awareness which give rise to knowing the intention for our life and (2) to know how to discern this feeling form whatever else we may feel. Hence the need to explore what we feel in a variety of ways so we will not lose focus on the feeling which provides the awareness of the intention for our life. Part of this process will be to explore the reason why we shutdown our ability to feel when we lost our ability to be in the most creative state of being of childlike play. This role tends to be more difficult that the third role of nurturing the creative spirit once it is out as a dream nanny would do. Here we need a dream midwife to help birth our creative spirit coming out into the world. More often than not, before we can being to explore the depth and breadth of our feeling in the presence of the dream midwife, there needs to be an individual to play another role. The first role to be played is that of the dream rainmaker. The dream rainmaker is an individual who is capable of bring fort, or rather call forth our creative spirit and the waters of life within us. The waters of life, our creative passion, water the parched dry inner landscape within us so as the intention for our life takes a form, as a minimum in the form of a feeling, to be recognized. Once recognized feeling of the intention for our life can be explored and birthed. The dream rainmaker is an individual capable of calling forth our creative spirit in a way that allows our creative spirit to escape the cage which mind has created. More often than not, this is done by showing us how to remove, or at least punch through, the top, bottom and the bars of the cage of our own making in which we hold our creative spirit captive. This is the primary purpose of the initiation to call forth our creative spirit and the rainmaker is the one who usually performs the initiation. The initiation is performed with the intended purpose of getting the waters of life, our creative life energy, our creative spirit, our creative passion, to freely flow within our being to nurture our creative passion and to open us to that awareness and feeling of the intention for our life. In having an individual willing to perform this type and kind of initiation, we need to realize that we are loved and cared for by the Universe. We need to let the initiation and the individual(s) who comes to us to perform the initiation act as the evidence that we are cared for and supported by the universe. On this note, we never need doubt that we are loved and cared for. One question that arises is, "How do I find a rainmaker who can fulfill what is described here?" The answer is, "You will not find such a person - but your intuitive guidance will." The fact that you are reading this should be telling you the Universe is already in the process of bringing a rainmaker into your life. But it, or they, will not look like what you think they should. Nor will your mind know how you will be initiated and what that initiation will be. If you follow the process describe in the topics "How to access the intention for our life - the dream in our heart - the business of our life" and the referenced files, and perform what is described as you are creatively lead, not being afraid to face what arises in your life in response to performing these steps/action/rituals, especially that which arises from the past, and honor any and all intuitive guidance you get, you will be lead to the rainmaker who will call forth your creative spirit and the life giving waters within your being. Most probably you will not see them as the rainmaker that they are simply because you mind remains in the way. If however, you adopt and creativity perspective, hold your creativity sacred, and can become a detached witness, you will begin to see who in your life is actually allowing your creative spirit to grow and unfold in ways you never imagined. You can feel the passion and the energy rise within and you can begin to see what individual or individuals are allowing you to do that. Often the rainmaker themselves will not be aware of what they do. But there are a few who do. If you are puzzled by this, you need to remember that initiations are often done to relay secret knowledge. What the Universe had done is the opposite. It will honor the intention you set and provide the initiation to access the awareness in the feeling in a way completely open for all to see. It holds nothing secret. It allows us to see whatever we wish if we are willing to focus our attention and awareness to see. The Universe allows mind to see what it wants to see rather than the truth of what is. Consequently, the whole process looks secret, mysterious and puzzling only because our mind is standing in the way. However, in reality it is all revealed and open to whomever is willing to focus their attention and awareness to see. That is why it is said, if you follow this process, you will find your rainmaker. But it will not be in a form or way that you mind thinks and maybe even in a form your mind cannot understanding. The initiation pushes us to step out of mind and to be open to feeling. In particular, to open us to feel the deep feeling which accesses the awareness within the feeling to know the intention for our life. One this point, the question can be asked, "Why do I need to do anything other that set the intention and hold that intention and allow the Universe to do the work?" The answer is you can. The issue is our mind keeps interfering. At the most fundamental levels of Creation, Creation does not work the way our mind thinks the world works. If mind steps out of the way, we can have a faster, easier and gentler transition. However, the nature of the human physical experience by design is to perceive all that occurs through our mind biasing what we experience. All the actions that are proposed here are only designed to get the mind out of the way in as fast a way possible. Remember, there are no mistakes (Top) In taking this journey to access the intention for our life, we need to remember that in any truly creative endeavor, there are no mistakes. There is only exploration at finding out what does and doesn’t work. There will be false starts and feelings that things are not working as they should. Any judgement whatsoever on what is done and on any results is purely mind interjecting itself into the process. The goal is to trust the creative process and maintain a single point focus on the intention we hold. Here the intention we hold is to access the deep feelings that give rise to the awareness to know the intention for our life. All that needs to be understood is that the intention for our life is for our entire life. Depending on what types and kinds of experiences this intention requires for our life no matter how old we are, we may not have lived sufficient long to gain the minimum set of experience to understand what our life is really all about. The best we may have is a deep feeling of knowing when we have lived the experience which we intended to live. What is true for most of us is that all we can do is rely on feeling to guide us. The recommendation is to become locked on the feeling that allows us feel the expansion of our being or the blossoming of our being. There is a belief the intention for our life is something special we do in or with our life that will be recognized by ourselves or others as special. Although this may be true for some, it is not what most of us will experience. Nor is it what we incarnate to experience. Rather, most of us experience cycles of joy and pleasure and pain and suffering. But what needs to be understood, is that our whole life can be felt as an orgasmic blossoming or orgasmic unfoldment. We can use the feeling of the unfoldment and expansion as our compass to guide us through the cycles such that there is an inner satisfaction whether or not our mind judges what we are experiencing as joy and pleasure or pain and suffering. At times this orgasmic blossoming will feel overwhelmingly intense. At other times it may seem to only be a glimmer and appear as though it is fading and evaporating. When we think it is fading and mind thinks it will lose what it has found, we only need to hold to the memory of the feeling of expansion and look to what we feel in life to carry us there. . We need to understand we should not attempt to hold the memory of what give us the feeling of expansion. Whatever occurred that gave us the feeling was only the occasion to feel what we felt. What is important is the feeling. We need to hold focus of creating the feeling and that focus will carry us to the experience which will give us that experience. Most focus on the circumstances that gave us the feeling and try and recreate those types and kinds of experiences. But it must be remembered, not all of us are here to live one year of life repeated fifty or sixty times. There are always types and kinds of experiences in life that will repeat themselves. For example, we have to continually eat. But what we eat each time we eat can be expected to change. The question is if what we eat is allowing us to feel the expansion of life or simply something we do out of habit and because we are hungry. The goal is to live the life we incarnated to live and we can only feel our way through life to find it. The life we are to experience has never been experienced by ourselves or anyone else. Mind is of very limited value to lead us in such a life. We must rely on feeling. In particular, we need to rely on the feeling that allows us to expand into the infinity of our own being. Responding to your intuitive guidance, body wisdom and inner knowing (Top) This is our own unique journey and exploration into the intention for your life. We can be assured our intuitive guidance, body wisdom and/or inner knowing will direct us to do certain things or take certain types and kinds of action. What we are asked to do by our intuitive guidance, body wisdom and inner knowing may make no sense to our logical and enculturated mind. We may be asked to life the left hand path and seem out of place in the world in which we find ourselves. Nevertheless, we will need to honor the guidance the best way you can. For anything that is presented that is bizarre or appears unsafe, we can always create a ritual, metatheater, simulation of some type or the like to act on what you get in a safe way trusting that further clarity and/or new direction will be given to us. In all cases we need to hold focus on our initial intention to access the intention for our life and use our internal compass to guide us. If our mind becomes afraid for one reason or another and/or sees itself losing control over our life, it will look for ways to inject itself and regain control. Mind is a master at masking the heart and what we feel. It can and will bias any intuitive insights we may have. By honoring what we get in a safe ritual, metatheater, simulation or the like, we challenge mind and allow ourselves to step past it. In doing so, we can then begin to see the shallowness of mind and how what we feel is more important than any interpretation, no matter how bizarre or strange it may be. Remember, mind only knows the past and what is has experienced. When faced with something it has not previously experienced it will interpret what it experiences based on its past. In honoring what we get, we maintain alignment with the flow of energy we sense but do not allow ourselves to be diverted by the inaccurate interpretation by mind. The next
