Allowing the Creative Flow

We on this side of the veil, often find you humans to be quite amusing. We adore you yet we are confused as to why you make your lives so difficult.

You have an idea or project in mind and you force yourself to stare at a screen for hours, hold a pen to a blank piece of paper, grasp your tools tightly in your hand with no work in front of you. 

Ideas and inspirations are always around you. You do not have to fight to pull them in. You must relax to allow them to come to you. 

If you saw a cat you didn't know and wanted to pet it, you would probably not think to trap it in a cage or chase after it. 

You would sit quietly, calling softly to it, perhaps offering a bit of food.

Before you know it, the animal is "petting" you with its head and following you wherever you go.

When you feel stuck, relax. Call for the idea or inspiration that you desire. It will be brought to you.

You will combine it with others and put your own unique energetic signature on it and make it your own.

Ideas do not come "from" you when you slave and focus on the problem, but rather "through" you when you open yourself up to the Divine source of all creation and creativity.

You can access this source by physical activity (walking,dancing), meditation, or simply playing with your ideas until inspiration sneaks in.

If you are struggling with your projects, it is ego trying to take over. If you find your creations to flow from you with joy and little effort, you are tapped in to Divine creativity.

Turn on the faucet and let it flow. ~Silas

How Far Out Shall You Go?

If you are reading these words, you probably have a spirituality that is open and accepting of things that fall outside of what your society thinks of as “normal.”

Perhaps you need more drama in your life and are looking to start a conflict. 

We cannot help those of you in the latter category. We hope you find your choices happy and fulfilling.

To the former, we say, “Good for you,” it is such a relief to take a small step out of the closet. 

Do you, simply, not go to a conventional church and have a few friends who think as you do? Do you meditate? Cast spells? Read blogs written by fairies?

Taking those steps can be hard, but the more “out” you get the more you can sigh with relief at not needing to hide yourself.

The friends who are true friends will understand. Some will even ask questions or join you in your spiritual activities. 

Others will, simply, fall out of your life. When that happens, you will feel that huge sense of release, as though a giant rubber band has just snapped. You will also find that for each person who exits your life, two or more will enter.

The energy you spend hiding yourself can be used for much more inspirational and creative pursuits.

You will find that friends who have been an enriching part of your life will not care or have suspected your wonderful weirdness all along. 

Exit the closet at your own pace. Test the environment to be sure that you are ready for the emotional impact of your choice.

Then run, strut, leap and dance your way out of the closet! Chances are, you will not be dancing alone. ~Silas

A Delicate Condition

You just had the most brilliant idea. It is truly exciting. It makes your heart beat faster and your brain gets a feeling of intoxication as you imagine bringing the idea to life.

You begin to think about it, analyze it, list the pros and cons. Maybe you tell a friend, co-worker or family member. You consider the risks, the costs, the probability of failure. Your enthusiasm begins to wane, the tiny flame of inspiration gives off a spark then dies in a puff of smoke.

This is why your dreams remain in your head and never make it into the real world.

When you dream, you dream small and practical. You estimate that your current resources and talents are not enough to fulfill your dreams. You allow others to pour their doubts and fears upon your dreams. You place them far off into the future, and you keep them there. Forever they remain illusive and just beyond your reach.

Time only exists in your mind, therefore, the future, present and past, are all now, and now is when you have the power to create.

Your inspirations are seeds. Do not toss them on the rocks. Plant them by taking some small action quickly (brainstorming, researching, gathering resources). Water them with more small actions. Fertilize them by taking small risks on behalf of your dreams. Make your dream tending a routine.

Once you have pushed past your initial inertia, small steps become easy, and larger ones become possible.

When that spark hits you, anything is possible. Don't lose it because you need more computer time, five more minutes of sleep or have to watch more of your favorite television show. The spark is your unborn child.

You are in a delicate condition. Negativity can hurt the baby. Guard it and protect it as only a mother can. Care for it in its tender infant stage. Stay close to provide help if needed as it grows, and do not put your "baby" in a corner.

Love and nurture your creative impulses. Once you're in motion, you will want to keep moving, and you will have the time of your life ~ Silas

Jinnzania's side notes: I've dreamed big all my life. I've also feared big. Guess which one usually won out? One day, I realized how effective I had become at manifesting my fears. I spent most of my time worried and anxious. I worried about money, about making a living and about my marriage. As a result, I was usually broke, in a job I hated, and my marriage, was in trouble.

When I realized how effective I was at creating what I didn't want, I turned my attention to what I wanted. I got a better job and my financial situation improved. My marriage crumbled, because it had not been built on a solid foundation. It was not healthy for either of us to live with the constant tension. I've grown more confident and independent as a result. For the first time in my life, I am at peace with my own energy and I have come to realize, that I don't want to change who I am just to be in a relationship.

Currently, I am living in a new city, having manifested the space I needed. I enjoyed the experience, then realized, that I wanted to be closer to home. So, without realizing it, I sent out a message to Spirit. My job's contract has ended, and rather than taking a job that I was pretty sure would not be to my liking, I decided to release it and go back home. So a space is now open for a great new career. Perhaps, I could help it along by worrying about hiring an accountant to help manage all the money I'm going to make or get stressed over where I'm going to take my expensive new clothes to be dry cleaned. Instead, I think I'll just pick up the story of my life and excitedly turn the pages to see what fun adventures the next chapter will bring.

No need for stress. I've already decided that there will be a happy ending.
