Soul Work 2

One of the wonderful things about the creative process is there’s always more to learn. Our lives may feel a little stale at times yet the creative process reminds us we need never be bored, there is always something new to create. Even more so at this time, when the opportunity being presented to us by our shared circumstances on the planet points to the necessity for us to become  more and more masterful as creators. I believe the reason people write books, paint pictures, sculpt in stone, or any other big project that involves bringing something into being that didn’t exist before, is the love of tussling with the challenge of the creative process. There’s something pure about that challenge which has nothing to do with the pursuit of fame, fortune or other reward, beyond the sheer love of doing what you’re most passionate about and actualizing yourself in the process. Nothing is more exciting.

The 22 Days of Transformation was one such act for me. The daily process ended eleven days ago and I am still unable to share fully what I experienced. Yet there is a new knowing in me. And a new understanding of how we create anything. Showing up every day for twenty two days and holding the focus for the group lifted me into a higher state of consciousness and creativity from which I was able to experience the playfulness and ease with which manifestation can come about and the enormous creative potential that is present when a group of people are resonating to the same soul songs.

We met in the state of Presence, in the Power of Now, a state which is full of life. Typically we view life as a linear progression of events. A story filled with joys, perils and challenges, right? And in one sense it is so. In soul weaving we gather up all the threads of this story and weave them together into something strong and resilient and beautifully patterned. I will always remember the discovery session I did with Woods  one day last year when, in my mind’s eye, I stepped from the side of the tapestry of my life where the threads are knotted, to the side where the pattern is clear and vivid and coherent and beautiful. The beauty of the soul’s intrinsic design is created and sustained by the knots and drab colors on the reverse side.

The state of Presence is not bounded by form or time; it is emptied of form and time, and yet it is not empty but filled with the stuff of life; the life-love-force that flows through everything, prana, qi, call it what you will. Is this the same substance the soul is made of?  Is that why Presence feels so restful and why, when we’re there we feel at One with Original Being?

Eckhart Tolle’s teachings brought the practice of Presence into mainstream consciousness a few years ago; now there is  a gathering movement of people who are interested in evolutionary consciousness, a more restless energy and intelligence which is always seeking to become more. Where does soul fit into all this? And what is the part of soul in the creative process?

I find I am much more interested and  involved in a process of inquiry and experimentation since the 22 Days finished. I am moving more slowly and I’m not feeling bound by things I “should” do. I feel more trusting of the process and the ways things happen in their own time, and I see how people are attracted to be in the right place at the right time when they follow the resonance. I know we have all the answers inside us and between us and that we can create the most magnificent things out of “nothing” when soul and universal intelligence meet in the state of Presence.

It was really quite an astonishing process and I look forward to sharing more with you.

Namaste,

Rose
