How does this process work? I’m referring to the process of writing a column or article - one like this in which the topic hasn’t been pre-determined. Where do I get my ideas? Frankly, it beats me. I’m quite serious. For the most part it writes itself - sometimes more than others, but somewhere in there is always the magic that unfolds totally unbidden by me. It’s occurred to me this is especially true of the pieces that elicit the most positive feedback.

Orange Gossamer Express
Sure, I have in mind a purpose for these compositions; my intention is to bond with the readers, while informing and inspiring them. However, I don’t have a specific formula for doing this. My process is more artistically creative than scientific. As you’ve no doubt noticed, the content of each of these chapters varies drastically, from the mundane, to business, to spiritual, to esoteric - there’s little if any continuity. If you read a chapter one month, you’d best not expect that train of thought to be continued in the next. You’ll find the train has derailed immediately at the end of every chapter.

This appears to be attention deficit at its peak. Actually, it’s my mind set free to go with the flow. The flow of what? The answer that comes to mind is the flow of universal energy, that intelligence which is all-knowing being imparted through me as the observer. The weird thing is it has a life of its own. Once it begins to flow, it requires very little of my energy to encourage it. In fact, I find the result is superior if I just let go and let it flow through my silent mind with no interference. This is what’s known as creative space. There is no judgment or criticism here - there is always time for editing once the message has presented itself in its entirety, but until then it’s totally magical and completely free.

I Beam Up Genie
I’m certain many of you can identify. Consider your own creative endeavors. Sure, you might have some training; you might have honed some skills. This is necessarily useful for getting your message across - whether it’s a written piece, a painting, music, or anything else, but the space between the training and your connection to the Source of the universe is where the talent lies. The result is the divine orchestrated through you. How magical is that? I would call it truly miraculous.

I think this is when you know you've discovered your passion - when all time dissolves, and there is only you and God, and you feel as one. This is when you’ve uncovered the key to your sole....no, I would say your soul purpose. This is your reason for being. The illusions which have been nurtured to protect your ego have, at least for a time, evaporated just as the sun evaporates the mist, and you have a glimpse of your true self. You’ve taken a step closer to ecstasy, which is your birthright.

Alladin’s Camp
You see, when I sat down to begin this piece I had no idea where it was going to go. I certainly didn’t know where it would end up. There are times when I realize the deadline for publication is looming, so I attempt to prepare a topic, but seldom does that materialize the way I’ve envisioned. Other times, I feel suddenly compelled, at the strangest times or in the strangest places, to drop my current agenda and start writing. Either way, I’m eventually reduced to observer, my plans go out the window, and some other energy takes over the writing. At this point, I’m clueless as to what will finally appear on page 2. That the result will be interesting, informative, or inspiring is a matter of pure trust. The only given is that once the ink is on the page it’s a reality. Whether the reality is good, bad, or indifferent is up to you, because as the reader, you are ultimately the owner of what you’ve read. The decision is yours.

Deep’s Baseline
If I am to recommend a book this month, based on my perception of good, I’d have to pick “ Power, Freedom, and Grace: Living from the Source of Lasting Happiness” by Deepak Chopra. He’s one of my favourite authors, although he denies being the author of anything. He has a way of taking the esoteric, and making it clear. It’s the scientist in him that demands clarification. If you’re interested in the mysteries of life as we don’t know it, I highly recommend you read his books.

Amazing Space
Getting back to business, how does any of this apply? Let’s start with Trust and it’s good friend, Faith. In fact, let’s end there. Because that’s what it all boils down to. All you can do is take an intention, put your attention on it, and allow the results to show. Remember, what you focus on expands - it’s the law of nature. The important thing is to focus on what you want, rather than what you don’t want. In other words, be careful what you ask for.

It’s a proven fact that if you put your full attention on something, it will manifest, inasmuch as it’s aligned with the purpose of the Universe. Dr. Chopra calls this the “law of least effort”. The critical thing to avoid is becoming attached to the results. If the final result doesn’t look exactly as you envisioned, it’s because this is what will ultimately serve you and others best. The laws of karma have prevailed, and sooner or later you might understand. Really, what has taken place is a miracle. It’s the same as what happens when I undertake to write this column.
