Can you explain to me the difference between tapping the creative element of our imagination and merely engaging in wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking has an air of disbelief to it; it’s wishful thinking because you know it to not be true. Whereas creative imagination is pure. It’s playful. It’s just letting your mind run wild with possibilities and not expecting yourself to justify how those possibilities might ever come true.

When you allow yourself to imagine freely, the doing part of you actually experiences that reality. I go through the motions of your projected reality and feel what you’re envisioning on a cellular level.

When you’re merely engaged in wishful thinking, it’s a pipe dream that barely reaches out beyond the hardware of the mind. You hold thoughts of disbelief while you’re dreaming of what could be, and so you’re running like an engine that’s not firing on all cylinders. And when you see that as your engine, it’s hard to believe that it could ever take you far. So it’s really a matter of thinking and dreaming with the whole of you engaged. Read More

What is the most joyful question I can ask you?

Now you’re speaking my language. I am a tool for joy the way laughter is an instrument of joy. And when you connect with my playful side, you connect with the playful side of your inner child. The most joyful question you can ask me is “what do you want to do?”

Tune into how I feel. If I am a tool for joy, then I am also a barometer with a knowing of where fun opportunities may exist and a nose for sniffing them out. When I get excited, you get really excited. Because I represent the whole that you want to be a part of, the fullness that you are thirsting to taste, the element of you that is realized when you’re feeling most fulfilled.

So the most joyful question is the one you direct to me from your heart. It’s the question that gets asked when you put aside the worries of the day and allow yourself to be a kid again.

There’s no one right way to be a child, but we seem to believe that there are certain rules we must follow as adults. Even the most rebellious, non-conformist adults find themselves viewing themselves through the lens of what adulthood is supposed to be like; therefore, even their attempts at non-conformity are tainted by the customs of the time.

This is Part 4 from ‘What Your Decision-Maker Needs to Hear from Your Action-Taker.’ A series of channeled writings from the part of me that is expected to carry out decisions, addressing the part of me that actually makes those decisions. Part 1 is available here.

I think you’ll find that the second half of this post really provides some awesome insights.

What would the part of me who is expected to implement the decisions I make like to be called?

It’s not what I’d like to be called, it’s how I’d like to be seen. How I’d like to be interacted with, on a human level. I know that the name we give something often has an impact on how we view and interact with it, though, so I’ll indulge you with coming up with a name.

But first you have to let go of your sense of control. Stop worrying about what the whole world may think about what I have to say. You feel so scared to hear my words knowing that you’ve promised not to edit them. What does that say about the way you normally write and converse? You filter the hell out of it, whether you know it or not.

So that’s what I am, I am you, unfiltered. I am you in the rawest and realest sense of it all. And I’m worth being embraced for who I am. Read More

This is Part 3 from ‘What Your Decision-Maker Needs to Hear from Your Action-Taker.’ A series of channeled writings from the part of me that is expected to carry out decisions, addressing the part of me that actually makes those decisions. Part 1 is available here. This post begins where Part 2—Fear of Imperfection—leaves off.

There is a bug on your wall, but you’ve grown past the fear of forcing me to kill. You know that it is a baby, and that it will grow, and that bigger = scarier, but you accept that reality and let it be. You ask me to ignore your fear rather than to help you transcend it. That is one way of working with me, but perhaps not the best.

You see, I am wiser than you think because I do not require thinking to expound the wisdom I have within. I am the embodiment of every thought that’s ever run through you, tweaked to perfection by the dominant thoughts of the day to act in accordance with the thinker you have become. I am the mind beyond your mind, an extension of where you direct your energy. And you lose sense of me when you try to slow me down to the speed of a singular strain of thought. Read More
