What a beautiful and important question! I love it! And I think it is a way to start CoCreation: When nourishing my soul, connecting with myself, connecting with others, connecting with nature and connecting with God – then I cannot do anything but CoCreate.
I don’t know what my soul looks like. I know that when I’m dead, I will see the souls of all my friends and the souls will be more wonderful and shining and beautiful, light and love bursting out, than ever seen. Beyond my imagination. We have only seen glimpses of the beauty of our souls yet. There is much more to come!
I nourish my soul everyday lots of times – but I don’t do it all the time – that I have to learn. My soul wants to be connected with God – God has some sort of string attached to my soul and he pulls me in a direction. I can feel it in my soul. I feel it as yearnings and longings and I feel attracted to something without knowing why I am attracted. This book project for instance – I just had to throw away the book I was writing on before, I had to do this. And it certainly nourishes my soul to be part of it. I also feel the urge to cancel my identity as a business consultant, I have to set myself free – be a free soul – and do whatever it takes to nourish and follow the longings of my soul. It is very fulfilling and gives me a deep satisfaction. I’m doing the right things. I’m on the right track. At the right place at the right moment.
My soul is God speaking in my heart – listening to my soul is listening to God. My deepest hunger is to let God live in me, let God live my life, without thinking about anything, just doing what emerges from inside. In the Bible it says about the wine tree: If the branches miss connection to the tree, they wither and fall off and will be burned. They are of no value at all. But if the branches keep connected to the tree, they don’t need to do anything – the fruits will grow. That’s CoCreation. I want to be able to do that – not only for a few seconds, but for most of the time.
I don’t have the answer, but I do have some experiences and some investigations I want to make.
My soul drags me to fulfill my path in life and in the world. I nourish my soul, when I continue on my path and my soul nourishes me, when I follow my path. That’s love. Fulfilling.
My soul wants me to connect with myself. Feel my heart. Feel my deepest longings. Breathe. Be present. Allow and acknowledge my natural talents, so natural and easy for me, that I don’t even recognize them. Be grateful for my life, grateful for my health, my friends, my family, and being born in a country like Denmark.
My soul wants me to connect with others. Laugh. Listen. Talk. Meeting others soul to soul – I absolutely love it. Being still looking into the eyes of the man in my life. Kissing. Love him and feel loved. Follow the impulses I get. And do nothing if I don’t get any impulse.
My soul wants me to connect with nature. To swim in the sea – summer and winter. I do love it. I feel my body upheld by the water. Cared for. I notice and worship the extremely light green trees in the spring, the birds singing in the early morning, the light coming through my windows, the blue sky.
My soul wants to be connected with God. I enjoy going to church, I pray and meditate several times each day enjoying the love of God. I try to let go of my thoughts about how everything works and try to incorporate the thoughts of Jesus. In the Bible he is constantly turning everything upside down. I try to develop my mindset: There is enough love – an abundance of love in the world. We cannot predict anything, the world is much more complex and greater than we can imagine. It ends well – at least from the perspective of God. The world is meant to be joyful to human beings. I don’t need to fear, but it is very difficult to avoid it.
This question is a very good start for people who want to learn about CoCreation. Because most people, at least in the corporate world, are in distress and they don’t feel they have the time to do anything new or to risk not having everything in control. They don’t believe in CoCreation and they don’t dare to experiment – but they do believe in nourishing their soul. They feel the pain in their soul and they need to calm down. Nourishing their soul is a good start.
