We humans are blessed with the ability to imagine a world beyond the ordinary. Let’s make good use of that gift.
Imaginal
Would you rather be a cloud or a tree? (metaphorically speaking)
Sometimes we need to be like water, offering no resistance, moving around obstacles.
Other times, we need to be sturdy and strong.
Sometimes we need to feel our strength.
Other times we need gentleness.
Right now, at this very moment, would you rather be a cloud or a tree?
Don’t let your mind judge your response. There is no right answer. Clouds are light, free, able to move. Trees are rooted. Both qualities are important in life. They are also very different.
Your answer says something for you to know.
Whether you chose a tree or a cloud, take a moment to breathe into its primary quality. For example, I chose cloud. As a cloud, I feel WHOLE, CONNECTED, and LIGHT.
We need schools for the imagination.
Einstein famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
That’s a great quote, so why don’t we have schools of the imagination rather than schools where we learn within the boundaries of what is already known?
Imagination is subversive. It lives in a realm beyond social conditioning.
The realm of the imagination lies beyond social structures, institutions, academic programs, established procedures, even religion.
Clients come to me blocked and what we do together is make space for creative inspiration.
We tap the space that lies beyond established structures of thought.
Breakthroughs happen when we open spaces we didn’t know existed
No matter how much we push, intend and effort, it’s clear that we don’t often have all the answers that we seek.
But Something else does.
We humans are brilliant when we’re aligned with Something greater than ourselves.
We don’t get breakthroughs by thinking harder or better. We get breakthroughs when we open spaces we didn’t know existed.
And to open those spaces, we need to tap into the wisdom that lies beyond the linear mind.
