Video Summary:

I spoke about collaborative creation in last week’s video. By this I mean when we offer an intention, the energy of our intention goes out and interacts with the universe, life, or spirit. What really struck me is that this is already happening, because it's the natural way of things. Even if we didn't offer this formal intention, it's still happening.

And so even a thought or idea is an intention. Even if you didn't sit down and light sage or do a meditation saying, “I'm offering my intention,” it still happens. You might say, “Hey, I think I'd like to have this thing in my life.” And if you really mean it, that energy forms as an intention. It goes out and interacts with life and that energy comes back to us in the form of doorways.

When we do this, life is trying to help us out. But because we're locked into this more linear, willful-creation kind of thing, we don't recognize it. This is because life presents doorways that may not fit into our linear progression towards our goal.

We say, “Hey, I'm on my mission, I'm creating something really important here, and my schedule's really full. And so when life presents these doorways and resources to try to help us, we perceive it as not being helpful.

Usually, we usually miss the doorways that are coming to us, because they don't fit in line with what we think we need to do to get where we want to be. And so we miss the gifts and blessings that life is offering us on a regular basis, which is of course rather tragic.

So instead of pushing life’s offerings aside because it's not in line with your goals, it's really useful to ask: “What is life presenting to you? What is naturally opening to you? What are the doorways? What's kind of coming out of the blue, that may make no sense. Perhaps I should give it a chance. What if I explore that a little bit and see if it can get me where I actually want to be."
