Up on the Tightrope
Can you fully experience desire when fear is along for the ride?
Trying to be an intentional co-creator of your life can be a rollercoaster ride. Once you are aware of how your point of focus affects what you are manifesting in life, every day feels like walking a tight rope where up where you are the air is clear and you can see exactly where you're going - you may have some moments of confidence and excitement at how well you're doing, you may feel so connected to your body, you may feel joy and beauty in your experience and sure of your path ahead - but you could fall at any moment.
Beneath you is the world. In the back of your mind you are afraid of what would happen if you fell down there. How badly would you be hurt? What could happen? It doesn't feel safe down there. There is fear and suffering and a reality you would have to engage with if you were down there. You want to stay up on your tight rope, but you keep remembering that the ground is beneath you and gravity is trying to drag you back down there.
Reading Abraham Hicks this morning I was struck by this passage. I want a lot of things. I thought I understood what desire felt like, but can you really experience desire fully when your head is in the clouds but your feet are nailed to the earth? I want to feel the delicious and heady freedom of being up on the tight rope without worrying about what's beneath me, knowing that I cannot fall. Still, it's hard in these times, because the gravity feels so strong. And if you're also feeling that way, I'm sending you love. You're not alone. After all, walking a tight rope isn't supposed to be easy, and if anyone told you it was- they were lying.
