On the one hand I am starting to teach the method, which has been so good to me and to many others, and this activity feels very good, as you saw. On the other hand everything else crumbles. I don’t have enough patients to sustain a practice. Almost every single patient that I have ever had has changed his or her life for the better, and in a short time left. I am still being invited to present, when I offer to come. People who have found interest in what I do, want to have more of it. And yet I won’t have enough money in the bank this month to pay for my basic needs. It seems that the universe refuses me an easy life.
It reminds me of the last children’s book that I did, “A Circle Of Friends.” It is a book without words that describes what happened when a child decided to leave his muffin to a homeless person, sleeping on a bench. All the people who saw the book in its dummy stage said it was beautiful and moving, but even with three agents, one at a time, pushing it to publishers, all the publishers refused to take it, and this lasted some twelve years. The most experienced agent told me to put it on the shelf and wait a few years. The public is not ready yet, she said. And it stayed on the shelf for two years. When I decided to go to school again to study art therapy, and there was one week left before the beginning of the school year, I took the book for the last time to show it to a publisher and the publisher took it on the spot. Somehow I knew then, that the universe did not want to support me unless I did what the book said. At that time it was: Go and help other people become free of suffering. Once I did, the book was sold. In a way I feel the same now. When you have an aspiration and start going in the new direction, toward fulfilling it, everything else that sustained you before stops. It seems like a betrayal. But it is actually support. It hastens you on your new way. I have decided to trust my intuition entirely, and this is my new way.
But this morning, when I saw that I don’t have enough money, I felt fear.
The following four drawings and four going-in-with-words show the process that I went through with this fear. I don’t have to explain any more. But I want to turn your attention to one interesting thing that we have already met before. Even in the first drawings, when there is no clarity yet, the ingredients of the solution are already there, both in the drawings and in the words. The solution does not change the facts, but it is a view from a different perspective, deeper and more loving.
I am falling
From a place I dreamed up
It was all
A pie in the sky
And won’t be here soon
The fallen pieces
Fracture the light
For a moment
As everything I know
Is streaming out
And turning
From solid to fluid
Everything
Concrete
Is
Crumbling
And
I am
Crying
Out.
I know what to do
I have the spirit
I can
Here is the big plan
Hammer this here
Magically it will hold
There is some support from the side
The ground is not safe
Hold on to the sky
See how new sprouts are starting?
What a dance!
Remember the pain
That you had?
Something new that I do not know:
Earth and green made of light.
Red is holding on to old
Don’t be afraid
Look at the dots that fly
So light and easy
All is soft around the hard.
Hold together
But leave it open
Let your truth
Come through your throat
Be light
Include everything
Allow things to come in
From all directions
Don’t question
Connect from your heart
Be unburdened
Flow with ease.
As I read your post dear Giora, and came to the end, I saw what a release you had finding once again your truth. That connection that truth is beyond the fear. I too had lived in terror, fear, feelings that made me not want to stay in my body. I had pushed these feelings out somewhere and they were in the air. I felt very uncomfortable . How do I sustain the life I have without an income? It was scary. The thing with intuition is that it lives in present time. It is available to us in present time, and to access it, we must re-align ourselves to present time and there is our intuition then we can ask it things… Hello? are you there? Always, constant there Yes 🙂
