It takes a Field, to create a Field, to create a Field...of Wholeness

Here in Jerusalem – I am in a place of reflecting on a week of holding and hosting many people, from many places – around becoming present to the ‘edges’ we tremble on, individually and collectively - the same inquiry we were in the previous week at the second Axladitsa Guardians Gathering. My core reflection is that it takes a field, to create a field, to create a field. Within this, it takes a quality of fieldness that is able to invite wholeness - that can be felt, witnessed, embodied. I am tired. My body is trembling; vibrating from the energy we have held, witnessed – and called out, for us human beings to become whole. I have given everything this week. To hold and host fields that are still becoming aware of themselves is ‘big work’. It encompasses the ability to hold and host the individual, team and collective levels simultaneously – and to give presence and intention to the aspects that need strengthening at any given moment. It is the split-second-ability to dance with and respond to the flow of emergence. It is the importance of appreciating that at any time, we can be whole – and it is our individual and collective responsibility to practice and ground this wholeness and bring it to bear – here, now – and invite others into this knowing and practice too.

It is our charge as human beings to call each other forward into this presence of being – and to hold compassion when we meet an ‘edge’, where we need to breathe it in and integrate – with all the courage that this takes. We are inherently whole – and our world is full of fragmentation – real and imaginary – and, for so long, our dominant world-view has held a premise that we are separate – different from one another – unable to connect. It no longer serves us to hold this thought or practice, on any level. All we do is inflict pain on ourselves, and then on each another. We love being whole – it is our innate essence of being. We love meeting each other in this quality – and we know it when we see it – and we long for it daily. It is our work, my work, to keep calling in wholeness – on all levels - and from this – re-craft our systems, cultures, practices, to live fully – individually and collectively.

Yet, even in the inherent knowing we are whole, it takes immense courage to keep calling it in – since we have so bought into the notion we are not. We are power-full when we are whole. It is this that we have been holding and hosting – as a field, Maria and I - with consciousness, clarity and love. Many people reflected this to us these days – and appreciated the gift we offered – and from this place, we witnessed them – as whole human beings – as a field of presence – able to hold and host others in the same quality – and in that, they felt more alive – and emboldened to continue the work they are hosting here in this part of the world. We have done good work these days…together…with many people, from many places…!
