I’ve just had an enlightening couple of days as Darren Eden has been staying with me and we’ve been playing with ‘magic’, tuning in to our intuition and asking what value can come out of us working together. It’s so fascinating to experience how the intuition and imagination is unfettered by our ego’s limitations. Once you step in to that innocent place of childlike wonder where it’s okay not to have the answers (my ego’s favourite pastime), the intuition can run rampant and paints an exquisite picture of what life holds as possible in the infinite field of potentiality. And all we have to do is tap into that energy, allow it to call to us and inform us of the next steps to take. To quote The Magicians Way by William Whitecloud, ‘There is never anything to do but always action to take.’

It took me a while to get my head around this and then I started to get it. Once you know intuitively what your heart wants, then there is an obvious next step but nothing else to worry at, or try and force. More a matter of allowing things to unfold in an effortless manner – a very different way of being than my usual constant poking and prodding at something to make it blossom.

So we tuned in and my obvious next step was to let go of my safety net and step in to the unknown. Okay, that’s fine and dandy with a glass of wine or three in the belly giving that wonderful alcohol infused courage but another thing entirely in the morning light.

As I write this I remember the film called The Abyss when the main character goes in to the deep knowing he only has enough air for the downward journey. We see him down so deep its pitch dark and his mind is going fuzzy and his oxygen is running out. You know that death is but a cold grey whisper away….

And then out of the abyss comes the most beautiful light and for a while it’s not clear whether he’s actually died or if he’s being rescued by beings not native to our planet.

Taking the leap of faith to go in to the abyss was his road to salvation.

I’m teetering on the edge of the abyss of not knowing – I’ll let you know how I get on.
