2018: Jazzed, Energized and Happy

2018: Jazzed, Energized and Happy | Ecency

Is it true that we grow from experience, including the experience of not getting that “thing” we just had to have?

Yes. We form new neural pathways. We navigate differently. We make different decisions. We discover more about ourselves. We learn to question how we unconsciously contribute to blocking receiving what we want. What don't do the same thing again, and again, expecting a different outcome. We learn, and we try again. When we do get what we imagine we want? It's enough.

But isn’t it also true that we're raised in cultural captivity in which we learn to stifle enthusiasm, excitement, and the unabashed feeling of “I want that!”

We tone “it” down. We keep our mouths shut except when we’re asked what we’d like for our birthday. We learn to focus on giving to others. Over time, we disconnect from our experience of imagining, wanting, making, having, and sharing. We stop being generous with ourselves and others. We are cautioned not to be selfish, not to want too much, and not to be powerful, free beings.

The result? Our imaginations are channeled into culturally acceptable outlets. Unless we are avid readers of fiction that gives us the space of being held suspended in the imagination of others, we may completely lose touch with our AUTHENTIC imaginations. Instead, we begin to imagine ourselves in societal roles and customs, the patterns that culture uses to maintain the status quo.

We imagine ourselves following the rules better than the next person, completing our education at the top of our class, finding a high paying job, buying a Lexus, starting a career that leads to fame, moving into our dream home.Our energy fields eventually slow down in vibration and begin to stagnate.

Lacking the understanding of co-creative principles, whatever we manifest will be steeped in unconscious beliefs structures we absorb in cultural captivity.

Manifestation is the experience and expression of personal power. Co-Creation is an “I/We’ learning environment. What is the extent of my personal power? What are the limits to my personal power? Where does my sense of personal power come from? How does manifestation teach personal responsibility? Or personal sovereignty? What is my intent?

Personal empowerment:
● Emotion

● Focus

● Choice

● Action

These elements are the unconscious and conscious road map to making things happen.

Co-Creation is an “I/We’ learning environment. What is the extent of our collective power? What if the planet is there to help you make things happen so you feel jazzed, energized and happy? What you want works for everybody, not just you?

● first through raw experience and being completely at the mercy of emotions; this when the tail wags the dog; childhood

● self-awareness includes fully feeling your emotions without unconsciously acting out; adolescent emotional intelligence

● learning through emotions and experience to be a self-aware observer, you have choice and can see and articulate your needs and choices consciously

Many people do not reach this last stage of human potential and development. Instead, living lives that prove to that no personal power. Therefore, there is no spiritual/emotional/psychological self-responsibility or accountability to themselves or to others.

These people accept a level of consciousness in which being alive equates to being a victim of circumstances.

We are in a rising tide of empowerment that is casting off what no longer works for us individually and for the human collective. We're in new zone of the unknown. 2017 was a wild ride into expansion, contraction, and balance. We're changing jobs. Locations. Partners. We're moving into tiny houses. We've given up mortgages on a home to live full time in an RV.

2018 might be the year we learn what it feels like to be enough and to have enough. This could be the year we come together in community and surprise ourselves by realizing that we are co-creators. This is the year we remember who we really are.

Conscious Co-creation:

The process of co-creating happens in a space of consciousness aligned with giving (attention,focus), asking (permission), receiving, and sharing, and gratitude.

Think of three instances in your life where you openly, or secretly, imagined X, and X happened! Did these experiences scare you or delight you?

Of those three instances when you manifested your desire and intention, did getting what you wanted satisfy you? If so, how long did the satisfaction last? Or did you experience gratification? What aspect of your manifestations had a positive impact on anyone beside you? Who? Be specific.

In any of these three instances did getting what you want cause pain to anyone else? Were you manifestations formed within a competitive frame? Did you have mixed feelings about living in the reality of your desired outcome? Did you experience any regret? In these instances, did you find you didn’t use or actually end up wanting whatever it is you manifested? How often do you actually use that purse that you just had to have? Or was it the trigger feeling of ‘wanting’ that you needed to satisfy? So ‘having’ isn't a source of satisfaction?

There are instances where manifestation is confined to the needs and wants of an individual Ego/Shadow Self, or manifestation may be aligned with a myopic collective desire.

The manifestation of using fossil fuel and needing the convenience of plastic for the sole purpose of personal convenience. Gaia wasn’t asked for permission to drill for oil or to make plastic. Would Gaia give permission to create a synthetic substance that can never be broken down into organic constituents that are recycled into the raw pool of earth’s resources?

We didn’t ask, we didn’t get permission, we manifested the use of fossil fuel as necessary to life and civilization, the idea of critical need that can’t be let go, and we feel regret about this aspect of the industrial revolution and modern life that is generating climate change.

Can you think of one instance when you applied desire, idea, and intention to manifest on behalf of someone else? Have you ever chosen to help fulfill someone’s dream? How did this impact your life? How did this impact the life of your beneficiary? These are manifestations which bridge co-creation.

Our ideas reflect our growth as we bring them out of the I/me space and into the I/We space; partners, marriages, families, communities, and collectives. We co-create whenever intention, creative imagination, love, spiritual connection to Source, gratitude for what we have received and a sense of pleasure in sharing are present. We are jazzed, energized, happy and -- that's enough.
