The Sound of Nothingness

Everything had been flowing so smoothly, work with clients on new projects was proceeding, and creativity was flowing so easily. All was well. Then, in the area of creativity I was most excited about, things came to a grinding halt. “What the hell?” I thought. The stop of the flow was driving me crazy. Here I was, so ready and excited and I just wanted to go, go, go.

But nothing was coming to me. I literally could not do anything. I was not “receiving” anything.

It is amazing what our intuition is trying to tell us to do. But right now, what I am finding more interesting is what it is telling us not to do.

In hindsight, I learned that my intuition was trying to do was telling me to do “nothing”. It was telling me that "something was not finished" in that area. The reason no creativity was coming in for me on that channel, was because there was something "not done yet" with the last project I was working on. My eagerness to get on with things, blinded me to the fact that my intuition was telling me to stop and wait for resolution, before things could proceed again.

Listening to the sound of my intuition, when it isn’t telling me anything at all is one of the hardest things for me. As I’m learning to absolutely, always, totally trust my intuition, the times I find the most difficult, as those when intuition is giving me no answer at all. In my experience, when my intuition gives me absolutely no read, positive or negative, the message is actually to “Wait” or “Not proceed.”


So, I am having to develop faith. Faith that my intuition is giving me the right message for me at the right time. Faith in my own process, and the natural flow of things.
As my good friend said about intuition, "It's amazing how we are happy to use intuition as the gas pedal, but not the emergency brake." No truer words have been said about intuition. I was so excited to keep on progressing that I did not want to pay attention, or switch lanes to another area, where it was still flowing.


I'm trying to remember this lesson this time. I know that each time I don’t grasp a life lesson, it just comes back in a more obvious and harsher form. I’ve been beaten up enough at this point in my life, that I am finally happy to gratefully accept the lesson and move on.


I’m happy to say, once the unresolved issue resolved, and I was able to absorb the lesson around the unresolved issue, the creativity immediately started flowing again.


I thank Intuition once again, for helping me by cautioning me to stop and wait before proceeding, for my highest good.

11/11/11 It's Your Day to Get Something Started!

11:11:11

I wanted to alert everyone, if you aren't already aware, that tomorrow is an amazing chance to manifest. The date is 11/11/11 (2+0+0+9 = 11). One and eleven are major manifesting numbers, indicating "new beginnings". So tomorrow is the best day to get things going.

There is an excellent summary of what this date is all about by Hans Decoz, at http://www.tarot.com/, at the following link: http://tarot.com/articles/numerology/numerology-november-11-2009?feature=ds-t2-ln-111109&

Here is an excerpt:
"In Numerology, three specific numbers are recognized as "Master numbers," because they are more influential than any other number. Those Master numbers are 11, 22 and 33. That's why November 11, 2009 is such an important date in Numerology: it's known as a "33 Universal Day," and for most of us, it will be the first we've ever experienced in our lifetimes. Considering that 33 is the most powerful as well as the rarest of the three Master numbers, it's worth noting that this rarity occurs twice in November 2009: November 11 and November 29. To get a bit more technical, not only do these two dates add up to 33, but they are also the only two days between 2000 and 2017 that form a perfect triangle of 11-11-11 (the year 2009 reduces to 11 when adding 2 and 9)...."

Read the rest of the article for more info on this great day.

In other manifesting news....If you would like another perspective or just some confirmation on issues going in your own life, I have a few openings in before Christmas to perform "journeys" for readers of this blog. You can read more about "journeys" by choosing the "journeying" category on the right side of this blog, and reading the actual journeys of others.

If you wish to purchase a journey for yourself (or for someone for Christmas), email me at conduitofjoy@hotmail.com.

Now get out there and start manifesting!

Gimme A Sign - Now!

Newsflash – I can be impatient. Impatience has been a theme in my life lately. I'm so excited about my new projects that I tend to get impatient with my current commitments. I want to get on with it. I want to skip the next 10 chapters of my day job and end up in a new life. In this new life, I go with the flow and work on my new projects all the time. So instead of being patient and going with the flow now, I'm grouchy, grumbly and angry at the Universe for not giving me the magic bullet to get to the future instantly. I want instant answers to how it will look and what I’ll be doing, and I want them now.

So, during my lunch-hour at work, I sought advice from my coach, and then tried my best to cool my jets and absorb all the good, but not instantly-transformative advice I'd been given. I decided it would be a good idea to take a walk around the block, to clear my head. My coach had told me that before she left her corporate job that she had asked for a sign. So as I tried my best not to scuff my shoes in frustration, I asked for a sign. "Give me an obvious sign that I should be following this new path", I asked the Universe.

I walked out of the building absent-mindedly and opened the newspaper box for my alternative weekly paper. The front headline on the paper was "Ding, Dong the Myth is Dead". Hmmm, I thought. The illustration was a picture of the Wicked Witch of the West laying under the words "Ding, Dong", with her ruby red slippers sticking out.

Hmmm, I thought again. My first post on this blog is about how I had been given obvious and numerous signs and symbols related to the Wizard of Oz, indicating I follow a new path for my life. The Wizard of Oz signs always seemed to indicate the necessity of me following a new Yellow Brick Road to find me sitting there as the Wizard of my own life. The Myth = my job? My old life?I flipped the paper open to the feature article. The real-life witch in question was in fact a friend of my parents, who had become an acquaintance of mine. Hmmm, I thought again. Her alternative lifestyle and politics had initially made her very different from the mainstream of society here. But sticking to her beliefs, her slow persistence was making her more accepted into the mainstream.

"Well", I thought to myself. "Okay, that could have been a sign, but I'm still not convinced." "Gimme another sign if it's really supposed to happen", I asked. A few minutes later, a lady walked by in bright red ruby slippers. Hmmm, I thought."How about another one?" I asked. After all, you can never be too sure and I WAS almost 3/4 of the way around my block.

A new piece of graffiti was on a phone booth - "More X please". "X" was the name of a practitioner I had just seen. She had just given me some illuminating information about my new path. "Alright fine", I grumbled. Then the Ding Dong went back into her building, trying not to smile.
