Video Summary: 

The reason I call it collaborative creation is I'm collaborating with the universe, Life, or Spirit. When I offer the energy of my intention to the universe, it presents doorways and resources that I might need.

An advantage of using collaborative creation is that Spirit can see all kinds of possibilities that your conscious mind can't see. All these other dimensions of life including knowledge of the way things are linked together become available to you.


When we move from willful creation to collaborative creation, we sometimes habitually continue to try to make things happen and try to control them. We're used to like offering a goal and then making it happen.

The expression that I've been using in Sharing Circle is to let Spirit do the heavy lifting. All you need to do is offer the intention and let the magic of life unfold. There's this natural back and forth that happens between you and Spirit.

There's a tendency for me to try to do life's job too because that's what I am used to doing. In willful creation, I did all of it. Now I'm only doing parts of it. If I'm trying to do Spirit's job, then I miss the benefit of Spirit doing its job.

Whether you are aware of it or not, this is the natural way that life happens. Once you decide to start doing something, try letting Spirit do the heavy lifting and stop tinkering with it. Let it go for a while and then see what comes back to you. It's amazing what can happen.
