WOW, this is a beautiful question! So much had happened!
I started out half a year ago with an idea of Creating a book together with some people from around the world – and creating it in different languages at the same time. I was already thinking of being the author of a book in languages that I don’t speak – polish, greek, italian. I was amazed and people around me started asking questions: How do you do, when conflicts arise? How can you know that the people you write with, will write something that you can have your name on? When does your book have to be ready? How many pages? And who are the target group?
I soon realized that CoCreation (with capital C’s) to me and to us means creating together with LIFE – creating together with God in my perspective. When I realized that, I was even more hooked to this process. For about 20 years or more I have had a sense of knowing that life and work could be much easier – with ease and with joy. I have worked with FLOW and with “work not harder, but smarter” – and it helped me on the way to an easier way of work – but creating with God, not going against LIFE is the real stuff. Now I get it! That’s what I want to figure out how to do! Now I know what I have been looking for and longing for all the years!
To experience this and write it is overwhelmingly BIG. I feel nausea and a bit of a headache – I cannot hold it inside my body! I’m not supposed to – it has to get out! Be written! And I need to stop trying to get a grip on it, make my head understand and instead I must let go, breathe out, trust it all and trust that it won’t disappear, if I don’t capture it. Trust that it will be forever in my cells, in my body. I realize that it might be the Holy Spirit in me – all these insights and I consider taking a pill against it. A pill against the Holy Spirit! Oh My God! Thank you Holy Spirit for being here. You are a source of inspiration pouring into my life. Help me to trust, that your source will always be open to me!
Now I recognize how absurd our way of working is: predict the output, make a plan and force LIFE into our small plans. Absurd. No wonder that we feel tired and lack energy, we are forcing life out of our lives. No wonder we feel pressure. We are pressed. We press ourselves and we press each other. We believe we have to press, and have to get LIFE under control. We made a mission impossible. I can see, we are working against LIFE. And I can see that it has hurt me for years – to be pressured, to press others as a manager and to be part of humanity pressing nature and don’t know how not to.
When we discover how to live and work together with LIFE, in collaboration with God, then our lives and world gets totally new! It can be EASY and filled to the brim with JOY.
From the start in our group we insisted on the ease of being together and the ease of writing a book – no hard work, we are looking for fun and ease. We also agreed on listening to what wants to emerge. It means that we are listening to each other but at the same time we are listening to a deeper source. We let the said words and the images that arise grow organically within ourselves and we share them with each other. Not trying to achieve any consensus, just listening and getting inspired.
I can feel God kneading me and forming me, changing me from within every week. Some of the insights I’m conscious about – wow, now I discovered this piece! And there are some changes within me, that just arose: wow, I have already for some time been patient and confident about the book: It will be ready, when it’s ready.
I love mondays!
I love our meetings and that I don’t feel any anxiety or fear before the meeting – I trust that we will figure something out and more and more for every meeting I trust that something will pop up, exactly when we need it. For instance this question today – exactly the right question at the right time! And I enjoy that I can fumble with sharing the meditation music nearly every time and no one is blaming me!
When we do our rounds – listening but without conclusions or discussions – I am just adopting the words, breathing them in and letting them form and knead my inner being, form my consciousness. I call this the inner CoCreation within me. God forms and kneads me through our group. In the beginning I was much more focused on our external creation – the book, 6 books, an online universe. Now I see that the inner creation is the one who with ease makes me and us create external creations because we connect to a different energy, to a different reality.
What if “work” actually means letting your deepest innerplace be formed to grow?
Now after only 3,5 months together I sense an enormous growth within me – and it is spreading to whatever I do. Why not start deepening our connections instead of wasting time with conflicts, people hesitating and avoiding even scheduling a meeting?!! Why not listen to what wants to emerge and help it to emerge? In our corporate world as well?
We have been talking about our longings and our curiosity questions. I strongly feel my longing for the ease and fun of CoCreating and I’m curious about how it can be possible in my life and in the corporate world. I remember it as a revelation, when we talked about our longings: what if we followed our longings instead of the purpose of the company? It makes sense to me. The most important thing in the world is our lives. That we are fulfilling our lives. When I’m not on my path in life, I’m wasting my life. I believe if we are all fulfilling our lives, it will fit together in a beautiful picture. Heaven. Kingdom of God. Kingdom of LOVE.
I cannot be a consultant anymore. It doesn’t make sense to promise to help an organization from A to B. I cannot promise that without forcing LIFE. Now I’m Lise – following my path and inviting everybody else who might be interested to join me on my journey and pay me if they want to. I feel a huge relief. I feel free. I feel so much myself. My path is to follow my deepest longing – my longing for God; my longing for figuring out how I can create together with LIFE, together with God and my longing for sharing it with everybody in the corporate world to make the corporate world easy and fun and life fulfilling.
I want to share my happiness and my deep joy and delight with you. Allow myself to be very happy and excited about LIFE. I have got the feeling of surrendering to LIFE. I know that LIFE will guide me and I feel confident in it. I am on my path. It is easy, I get help from LIFE and from people around me – I think they sense my honesty. It is a pleasure and I feel grateful for having found my way and at the same time my way to contribute to the salvation of the world – yes I use big words I know, But that’s how I feel. I feel the world is weighed down on its knees due to all the pressure and stress in our attempt to control ourselves, each other, our projects, and nature. And my “work” to figure out how not to control LIFE but work together with LIFE is exactly what the world needs now. I am called to do this and I have been helped and also pushed into it. Oh, I’m so happy to be able to contribute to this – it’s my most consistent pain to see human beings struggle to achieve some KPI’s they don’t even know if they are important to anything.
I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Thank You.
I feel grateful to be with you guys! I feel encouraged to be myself even more.
