“We make stories up and they end up making us, so we have agency in choosing the story we live by”
Lucy Neal, Playing for Time
How can one start the story one can belong to?
Life is full of opportunity to craft your story - untangling the fated threads, weaved to the essence of ‘where story rises’. It is through very deep, inner revolutions – the circling psyche – around and around our detriments, our involvements, our responsibilities, our burdens – that heaviness tied within our storied fate – individualism beyond our classified narrative of society.
Who you are – at the end of it all…
Dedications that in our head seem to provide what we need, yet in action, a challenge to accomplish, or keep honorable.
Self-imposed deadlines. Self-imposed limitations. Self-imposed regulations.
Eat this not that, Move this way not that way, Think this way not that way. That there is always that pressurized ‘next step’ to create the next ‘sensational self’ one believes one’s Self to become.
A great start, as long as one can keep to the momentum of the moment.
Each one of us knows how to best care for our mind, body, and spirit.
You know what you desire, all I want – is that you ask.
Most of our impositions are created through conflict, within our Selves or the environment. No matter where, or who, you are in time - the story can always begin…
The wind moves and the rain falls
unforced in the scheme of living
just doing as they are doing to do the doing, they do.
To create the story of our lives, one must accept the story of One’s Time.
Time takes time. Unimpressed at our own adaptations to it.
Time does not care that we crunch it.
Time does not care that we waste it.
Time does not care that we schedule it (however, I do imagine the offense it would take).
We have a lifetime, to let a lifetime be as we create it. Time itself will create what we need. Time itself will allow us the momentum of our lives. Time itself is as involved as it needs to be, we cannot force it.
a seed of thought…
Let your actions, your ideas, your plans, your goals, manifestations, pressures, stresses, schedules, yearnings, desires, creations, selves - fall
Fall
Fall to the wayside of time. Become a part of the great Universal Flow that we drift along within. This Flow unforced, part of the breath - of the wind that surrounds our very essence.
To - let - your - self - be - in - time.
Perhaps, we do not create our story; if we let it all be - the story of our lives will come forward at its own grace.
How does One live ‘The Rising Story’?
Bring to Life the Action of Storytelling
Concern yourself to the myths, legends, tales – storybook memories from your youth. Momentous imagery in the Story-Time you have carried throughout your Life-Time.
In order to take an active part in the ‘call and response’ of the living story – there has to be an act on your part - you cannot just let sit the vision. In the right mindfulness, this can cultivate and find nurturance. However, taking legitimate, realized, actualized action within the ‘waking world’ – will allow the vision to me moved. In its momentum you create – not only shall your life have a ‘momentum of your own making’- yet create a ‘story worth telling’.
Think – “I want you to hit me as hard as you can” – from a foundation from innocence... The idea that – there is a request of participation from you – from another Source beyond understanding. This innocence there-in having no idea where this seemingly surprisal act will evolve.
Let this action be your action – without reaction…
Let the intention of the act – be ‘The Will’
Undiscerning – removing meaning – only…
Purity of Being
Reciprocity is the Natural Will
… In all we do, all we create – provide for, circumnavigate – involve our living with; “There is an equal and opposite [response]” (Newtons Third Law, word change by Author)
There is an age-old, cultured belief, that when we fully participate within our life’s constructions– no matter what action (if any - all action) – however seemingly insignificant – is in intimate confluence with the spiritual world. In turn – situations taking part in the spiritual world – have a confluence within our Earthen World.
In this ideology, we are always in union with the great Transformation of the Universe itself – no matter how small our actions seem in the scheme.
This great ‘Unseen’ guiding this Universal Creative Flow truly knows…
“everything up to now is a story… and everything after now is a story…
This is the greatest moment of your life… and you’re off somewhere missing it…
Without death, without pain, without sacrifice… we would have nothing”
Palahniuk, Fight Club
Sacrifice –
Sacrifice in the name of your values – one value dulled, for another to shine. What shall be given up -given into - the transaction of a greater Will?
Reciprocity is Sacrifice.
The deeper you engage – the more you Sacrifice your present Values to the larger Story- an amplified, emerging Value manifolds for your creation.
How far are you willing to let your control go – before the Story fades? Missing the moment of your creation.
What is this ‘Story’ all for?
The Waking Dream creates Vision – The Enacted Vision creates Story – The Deeper You Engage within the Story, the greater You must Sacrifice…
The Deeper the Sacrifice
The greater the beauty
We are here
In our Middle Story
A creation story - that – mutually – guides.
A creation story - that - mutually – creates.
A creation story - that - mutually – shapes the world.
We are formed by steps in time…
