Giving birth to a new reality: the missing ingredient

When the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience before her and enters into her own image.
Meister Eckhart


I just love this beautiful description of stepping into our soul’s vision for ourselves.

Something new - it all starts with our imagination – that taste of a possibility, that moment of inspiration when we glimpse the prospect of something as yet unknown, the moment that we give birth to that “rocket of desire” that shoots off into the far reaches of the Universe, creating the mental equivalent of our heart’s desire.

In the Science of Mind philosophy, we could say this process is a manifestation of the Divine Urge to grow, to express life.

And what is ours to do once we have launched this desire?

Perhaps the more important question is – what is ours to be?

For we are all about the doing, in this culture. We are great at strategies, actions plans, and processes. And there is nothing wrong with that – it’s all necessary.

But first, comes the being. If we take care of that, the doing will flow more harmoniously. Even though we may be working hard, even harder than we have ever worked, it won’t feel like quite such a struggle. 

So, what is ours to be? 

The state of being in which we know that we are already in the Flow, by divine birthright. The state of being in which we allow, and relax, and open to that greater unfolding. The state of being in which we trust that just as surely as Life creates the  desire, it creates the means and the wherewithal to bring it into fruition.

When we are in this state of allowing, receptive being, the steps to the doing show up in all kinds of synchronistic ways. New doors open. Unexpected connections materialize. Fresh perspectives emerge.  Magic happens. The entire Universe conspires for our happiness. Stars are born!
