“When we fully lay down the old, familiar life or mind and start creating the new, there is a moment between the two worlds that is bereft of anything we know, and most rush back from this void to the familiar.
That place of uncertainty—the unknown—is what the maverick, the mystic, and the saint know to be fertile ground. To live in the realm of the unpredictable is to be all potentials at once. Can you become comfortable in this empty space? If you can, you are at the nexus of a great creative power, the ‘I am’. “
- Dr. Joe Dispenza, “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself”
Dear Wise Women,
Last week, during our exploration of “the space between” we both conceptualized and felt the aliveness of the space between ourselves and others, and the space between who we are on the inside and who we present to the outer world. As we shared, when mired in the memory of painful emotions this space feels more like gap or a divide that has the potential to create unbearable separation and disconnection. If left unobserved and unattended, we can spend an entire lifetime living in this painful gap between “who we are” and “who we want to be”.
It is my desire, with your help of course, to transform how we view this gap. Through awareness and intention infused with gratitude and compassion, we have the ability to bridge the gap and to open up entirely new pathways. The “space between” is actually a field of electromagnetic potential and, as humans, we can raise the potential of this field through our capacity to love. When mind and body are aligned and in coherence with the vibration of love we can create a more beautiful world…and to do so in an entirely surprising ways.
“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”
- Rumi
I now wish to share a beautiful and inspiring video created by someone I deeply respect, Charles Eisenstein. His words and the animation speak to all I am trying to convey and, so I wish to share this with you now. 💕
Here is an excerpt from the video:
“If we can accept that we don’t know how this world works…
that our understanding of causality is very very limited…
and in fact come from the story of separation.
Then we are plunged into the mystery where we have to rely on some other impulse to guide us in making choices about how to spend our time and how to devote our gifts.
So one of those impulses could be:
What is that makes you come alive?
And do it for no other reason because it makes you come alive, because it gives you a feeling of life.
Ultimately what we are in service to is life.
To serve life means first and foremost serving life within yourself and accepting what makes you come alive as a valid source of information to guide your choices.”
“If we look at this tree outside whose roots search beneath the pavement for water, or a flower which sends its sweet smell to the pollinating bees, or even our own selves and the inner forces that drive us to act, we can see that we all dance to a mysterious tune, and the piper who plays this melody from an inscrutable distance—whatever name we give him—Creative Force, or God—escapes all book knowledge.”
- Albert Einstein
