Recall that within this series “Two signifies the emergence of tension points to maintain a system: the seed is challenged to break free from the genetic memory to be living in its own sentience, or otherwise return to genetic memory.” In this way, Twenty-Two signifies collaboration: the evolution of “Two” in relation to other sentient beings, to then develop new patterns unique to the sentience coming to be interwoven. Just as with chemistry and “chemical reactions,” just as with musicians who come together with pure intent, just as with politicians who desire diplomacy for the sake of humanity as a whole.
Is creation stemming from joy or from necessity? How do I distinguish?
How do I justify?
Co-Creation is the activation of the Heart into collaboration. From the rooted foundation in physical reality, I open my sight to allow for inspired vision to spiral into my being. The active work is to prepare the self and stabilize, to then open to receive the flow without holding to what it will be, or how it will be shown. This is the unknown; this is the component in which I must surrender. Co-creation begins within the self, and must be understood from within before this awareness expands consciously into communal harmony. As is evidenced in the journey of the seed into fruition up to this point in the series, “it’s not my molding but natural unfolding;” and, simultaneously, there is a requirement for participation and effort to generate the ideal seen within the vision.
Undoubtedly, co-creation happens without this exalted sense of consciousness being engaged; as is evidenced in the current phase of humanity, the results are often of the egoic mind- weaving webs to ensnare other minds, to then reap resources for the sake of satisfying mundane desires through manipulation of the concept: “you need me/this/us.” Although seemingly successful according to “conventional” definitions (it’s not personal, it’s just business: the parasite’s creed), it inevitably leads into dis-ease, deception, and destruction.
Wealth is not the measure of arbitrary numbers allocated according to a dystopian system fueled by chaos and confusion; wealth is measured in the value of this moment. And now this moment. Even in this- if there is an endless assessment of quality this undoubtedly renders anxiety. The clouds come to cover the Sun, the Sun shines clear and free again; the storm comes and goes, but the Sun shines regardless of how it appears to be consumed by the gray darkness.
Wealth is a measure of multidimensional health- embracing the balance within the body, mind, emotions, and all in between. If there is a need to artificially balance the self through external means of validation, there is hardly any perceived evolution from the animal that seeks to satisfy its hunger as its work.
