issue 14 ♡ sharing the creative (abun)dance floor
dear doris. why does it feel strange or unnerving when someone copies me? or are we just inspired by the same sparks? love dee, fremantle, australia.
dear ones,
this is a question i propose to doris as it’s something i have grappled and dappled with throughout my creative path and also seen friends and fellow creatives wrestle and wrangle with. in part I & II, i tune into my higher self through meditation and transcribe what insights doris has to share with us.
part I.
when someone is close, like close to your heart and close to your action, it can feel a bit full — like there’s too many chef’s in the kitchen. it can feel suffocating, as the container or room in which you have placed yourself in is cramped and small and congested — not yet expansive and roomy (rumi-like), limitless and lovely and luxuriating in abun-dance.
step outside of that box where you feel like someone is stepping on your toes, like stepping on your turf and know there is room for two to tango, or three or four or quadruple dancing pairs even. that’s right steven. make a party out of it. but only when you go through the cycle and work of expansion, recognising that you are vibrating at a similar state of be-ing.
your vibrations are same-same, quasi-same, similar, like attracts like. you exist at the same level of evolution for now and perhaps with ascension you find yourself on the same floor — again and again. however they are not your nemesis but a mirror of you and the part-icles of a person-ality that makes up the summary of you, in your very current state of being.
they say mimicry or copying or being influenced is a form of flattery or is it just recognising the ‘cog’ in recognise, is in perpetual motion — a grand cog in the wheel of life and incarnations and that perhaps that cog belongs to no one, that its merely a force of nature, an energetic force that is powered by source, that you are drawn towards and find yourself stuck in the cog, the wheel of life and action and you just happen to rotate once before everyone/soul catches wind of the cog/style/simulation in motion. it’s a motion almost, like a magical elixir that is taken by the drop, one-by-one we are all privy to it.
idea’s come in waves, in tumultuous tides crashing upon creative consciousness. so if your tuned into the pounding and the sounds on the shore, you are sure to be sure/shore able to pick up the granules of inspiration lain upon the shipwrecked shore. they are not secrets, they are shells laid bare, if you open your eyes (third) to see them.
idea’s and ideologies are merely fragments of god/source consciousness in dust and debris. tiny bits of glorious information floating amongst the dirt and debris waiting to be collected, scooped up and taken into the consciousness of a human and their tools to be transformed into a tangible form, to be understood or interpreted by human-kind. the kind who gravitated towards such creations will feel the OG (original source) of information fed from god almighty/source and it’s unbounded wisdom and grace and love for all beings in equal measure.
so, do not contain yourself and ‘them’ in a tiny box. move those walls that contain you and spread your wings to fly. expand into a warehouse space where there is room for rotation and ricochets and roulette and rambling and running and relishing that what we produce is of us but is a gift bestowed upon us, to live and let live, to be an open vessel of creativity, where you are continuously flowing like an overflowing cup of pure rain water.
the flow state of creativity allows no room for green eyed monsters and its ilk — it is a shadow of the fourth chakra (the green) moving from the 3rd to 4th transition. this move to purpose driven work can also collide with persona ownership of idea’s and idiosyncrasies and icing on the cake. allow space in this transition for your heart to expand — see it expanding, growing, ballooning, indulge in meditations that assist that transition from heart space to the higher chakras. love and your heart and source knows no bounds.
grow with them, grow in them, grow together and grow apart. growth within close proximity is okay, as the wind blows seeds within close proximity to one another, you are saplings from the same seed/source.
part II.
