	Co-creation starts with imagination "It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question." -- Decouvertes "The man who has no imagination has no wings." -- Muhammad Ali Imagination is a tool of the soul. Our imagination gives us the opportunity to 'try on' new qualities and perspectives in our life. Through imagination, we can explore our past, problems, patterns, processes, plans, perceptions, principles, passions and purpose to uncover new possibilities. Without imagination, we stay stuck in the realm of the material, the past, the superficial and the literal. We remain one-tracked, instinctual and one-dimensional. Our imagination comes from the soul, subconscious and senses. Only through our imagination can we become multidimensional, experience more love, create more beauty, manifest more results, change our conditions, rewrite the past, and connect with divinity, purpose and others. "You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'" -- George Bernard Shaw "Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them." -- Ralph Gerard

	Apply what you know "Knowledge of any kind ... brings about a change in awareness from where it is possible to create new realities." -- Deepak Chopra As we evolve, we handle knowledge in different ways. We tend to move through these stages: - We are unaware. - We become aware of facts, data, information. - We comprehend meaning from the facts. - We can personally apply the information in our lives. - We have wisdom - enlightened, we can lovingly apply our knowledge to world affairs. - We live in truth. How have you personally experienced a shifting of applying knowledge from one level to the next? "More important than finding the teacher is finding and following the truth of the teaching...." -- Sogyal Rinpoche "There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul." -- Arnold Bennett

	Explore with questions "The word ‘question’ is derived from the Latin ‘quarrier’ (to seek) which is also the root of ‘quest.’ A creative life is a continued quest, and good questions can be very useful guides. Most useful are open-ended questions; they allow for fresh unanticipated answers to reveal themselves." -- Source Unknown Questions hold the power to draw out answers that surprise us. If we are on an inner journey to greater self-knowledge, we must seek to understand unfamiliar parts of ourselves. The most enlightening answers are released by our subconscious minds or by our intuition. Use questions frequently to go exploring. Try these out: - What qualities do you find most attractive in others? - How do you exhibit those same qualities? - What is your greatest fear? Why do you fear that? - What message is your body trying to get through to you? "If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions." -- Susanne K. Langer "You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions." -- Richard Bach

	Shifting consciousness "The world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking responsibility for helping create it." -- Rosemary Fillmore Rhea Below are 7 levels of consciousness that clearly outline a path for our evolving consciousness: - tribal and mass consciousness - one obeys the group and lives by trial and error - individual consciousness - one develops a stronger sense of self and ego - seeker’s consciousness - one asks questions and seeks independence - intuitive consciousness - one develops the heart and is becoming spiritually aware - group consciousness - one serves a higher good filling the needs of others - soul consciousness - one experiences spiritual service. On which level do you spend most of your time? What are you doing to shift to the next level of being? There are as many paths to understanding, awareness, peace, freedom, love and meaningful service as there are people. Enjoy your journey! "Consciousness is not just some by-product of the human brain mass. Consciousness is all pervasive. It is in everything and is everywhere. Your individual human consciousness exists within and is a part of a universal consciousness." -- Delfin Knowledge System "God acts in history: that is, God provides ideas, methods, and experiences intended to bring comprehension to man, an understanding heart, a conscious life." -- Jacob Needleman

	As above, so below "There is in all visible things - a hidden wholeness." -- Thomas Merton "From a hologrammatic viewpoint, ...you are one little physical image that reflects all of humanity when projected spiritually upon the cosmic screen." -- Wayne Dyer "As above, so below." Everything is connected. The universe is a hologram where every part contains the whole. Outside echoes the inside. The lower is a reflection of the higher. The other is a reflection of you. We are all a microcosm of each other. The big picture is within us and even our cells. Be open to see the interconnections, influences and inter-relationships of things. "Unity consciousness is a state of enlightenment where we pierce the mask of illusion which creates separation and fragmentation. Behind the appearance of separation is one unified field of wholeness. Here the seer and the scenery are one." -- Deepak Chopra "To me there is no difference between one person and another; I behold all as soul-reflections of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit." -- Paramahansa Yogananda

	You are worthy! "A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having." -- Alice Mary Hilton As a human being, as spirit manifested in form, you are innately worthy. Your worthiness does not have to be strengthened or improved. However, you may not PERCEIVE yourself to be worthy. If you doubt your self-worth, consciously or unconsciously, you will limit the good things you will allow into your life. Do you consider yourself worthy? It may help to answer these questions: - Do you find it easier to give than to receive? - Do you have as much money as you would like? - Do you feel driven to improve yourself? - Do you value other people's time more highly than your own? - How would you feel if someone offered to pay you a salary of $1 million/year? If you find you lack self-worth, don't despair. Just being aware of your self-worth issues will help you let them go. "Every achiever that I have ever met says, ‘My life turned around when I began to believe in me.’" -- Dr. Robert H. Schuller "We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe in our heart of hearts we deserve to have." -- James R. Ball

	Ask your body for advice "The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth, little to do with control, and much to do with acceptance, little to do with division and analysis, and much to do with union." -- Marilyn Sewell Are you aware of your body’s wisdom? Our bodies usually know us better than our minds do. If you have a decision to make, consult your body before making a final choice. Reflect on an option before you and then pay attention to your body. Are you breathing deeply or barely at all? Are your muscles tense or relaxed? Is your energy blocked or flowing? Your body knows what it likes and it feels good when it's happy. As your body is the source of your vitality, your motivation, your inspiration and enthusiasm and most importantly, your intuition, it's best to get that part of you on-side if you are venturing into a new activity. "When you are saying that you are happy and you are not, there will be a disturbance in your breathing. Your breathing cannot be natural. It is impossible." -- Osho "Our inner guidance comes to us through our feelings and body wisdom first -- not through intellectual understanding. ... The intellect works best in service to our intuition, our inner guidance, soul, God or higher power -- whichever term we choose for the spiritual energy that animates life." -- Christiane Northrup

	Tune into the inner critic "A critic is a legless man who teaches running." -- Channing Pollock Are you aware of your inner critic? We all have this voice that tells us we are bad, stupid, clumsy, cowardly.... Although its intent is to help us succeed, the harsh self talk of our critic just serves to drain our energy and lower our morale and immune system. To defuse the inner critic, we need to recognize when the critic is speaking. We need to know that this voice does not necessarily speak for who we really are. This is an old pattern that may no longer be serving us. We want to open to the possibility that the words are not likely true. We can ask ourselves, "Are these words helpful?" "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -- Eleanor Roosevelt "Abilities wither under faultfinding, blossom with encouragement." -- Donald A. Laird "Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business." -- Norman Vincent Peale
