Conspiracy
Theories
“What
you seek is seeking you.” Rumi
There's
an old Bob James jazz CD called “Restless” that I like to play
now and then. It well expresses the feelings I have when I've
finished one project and have not yet started another. I don't go
around with ideas full blown for future projects; I have to wait
until they “surface,” so to speak. While I'm waiting, there is a
feeling inside me that can only be described as “itchy.”
Something hovers at the back of my mind, but cannot be forced. It
operates at its own pace in its own time, and for a while, we play
hide and seek—I'll catch a glimpse, but when I try to grab hold, it
vanishes. Reminds me of the mists that hang in the mountain gorges;
when you see them at a distance, they appear as solid as the
landscape around them, but when you get to them, they are all but
invisible.
It
was Emerson who first said, “Once you make a decision, the universe
conspires to make it happen.” The work is in making a firm decision
and commuting to it. At that point, you, your guardian angel, your
friends, your family (sometimes), and even people you don't know,
will begin, mysteriously, to nudge you in the direction of your
vision. You will see the image of what you seek popping up all around
you, and suddenly it is as though you knew your deepest desire all
along. I'm sure there is a physical law that governs such harmonious
events, but being a math-idiot, I wouldn't know what it is. Or
perhaps the governing law is a spiritual one.
I
like to think that this itchy restlessness comes directly from my
soul. It knows what creative work comes next, but my human-self is
slower and less clear. My soul has to allow time for the rest of me
to catch up. I wonder about you. Are your 'next steps' always clear?
Have you experienced synchronicity in action? Is the universe
conspiring to make something happen in your life?
In
the Spirit,
Jane
