Trouble at the Border

TROUBLE AT THE BORDER (excerpted from July 2007 Ezine)

I'm beginning here to catch you up to date. This is about the new direction of my website and website community.

In Mastering Life's Energies, Maria Nemeth tells us about the difficulties one faces when “jumping from the metaphysical—the world of ideas—into the real-life world of the physical plane.” It’s those difficulties I now face. Like Maria, when she launched her pet project, I am faced with “decisions that aren’t inspiring at all.” I am getting bogged down in the details of creating a plan, putting the pieces together, finding investors, etc., etc. Maria told us, “When you begin to move an idea from the metaphysical realm into physical reality, you must cross the Border between those two very different worlds. And at the Border, the inspiration and fun of the original idea encounters the energy requirements of physical reality.” She continued to explain to us how traumatic this can be for us. “It’s like standing on the shore of a beach, enjoying the sunshine, and we’re suddenly hit by a solid wall of ice-cold water.”

And that’s where I find myself. Oh no, this isn’t bad news or a letter of impending doom. Instead it’s to say I’m sitting on the Border waiting for all the pieces to come together. Like Maria I understand that eventually things will happen—eventually all the fragmented pieces will come together and will liftoff. But I also understand that I must take action to make things happen. I'm not sitting around repeating mantras and hoping for the best.

Maria tells us, “A rocket burns most of its fuel during the first few moments of flight, as it overcomes inertia and the gravitational pull of earth. That’s what it’s like for us to launch our dreams into physical reality.”

Yes, soon all of this will come together and a rocket will launch. Don’t worry, you’ll be the first to know when the time is right.

Oh, wow! How I love this comment. Thank you for sharing with us, Allyn. Of yourself and of your friends. This is sort of what I always say about promotion. It's hard at first but eventually it starts working and takes less effort for greater results. Hooray for the launch metaphor! (-:
