Great thread Aspasia

Personally I get more inspired by musicians and actors than many in 'spiritual' work. Why? For me (and in the Openhand Approach), it's all about the revelation of soul. It's not trying to be spiritual. It's not putting on some mantel (although of course that happens in acting). I'm intirugued by authenticity of soul. And I think the people that tend to most stand out, whether in an acting role or performing on stage, have tapped into their soul and are allowing it to flow. And many who are really good at it, will have stories to tell of how they got knocked back, time and time again, but for some reason, they were at a place where this didn't stop them. I observe that for many, it's like that here in this density in terms of the ermegence of soul - you feel like you're getting knocked back, time and time again. Yet here's the crucial thing to hoist on board...

It's not to see getting knocked back as the sign to stop. Yes, what you're doing might need to change. However, the getting knocked back is the actual forging of the soul. You get back up again and say.... "well I expressed like this last time, how can I do that better? In other words, how can I be more of me?" When you tap into the mainstream of your soul, and keep opening the channel for that, that's when magic and miracles happen.
