Thursday: Our last day of Moving the Edge

As our collective journey is unfolding, it becomes more and more difficult to write a report of what happened; at least for me. I would need all the arts of expression to get across all the levels, all the beauty, all the energies that are included in our circle, in the field that we hold together.

After a dancing, moving start; and a welcoming and reflecting on the journey so far, this was exactly the question: What is 'holding the field'? Some answers were given and an advice to learn by osmosis: look at the ones who are doing it and learn from them.

Yesterday F said something about creating a World Café as an opportunity for something else to happen. So: watch out what you are saying, because this is what happened! We were ready for a World Café - at least most of us - tables were brought in, even the flowers, and within minutes we sat on the ground, our attention with what was present now. Some pain, some sadness, a dream ....

It was named as: We are able to go with the change of direction.

Reading again what was spoken yesterday 'as and in the middle'.

I want to be present with what is, and embracing our differences.

I honour your ability of holding pain.

Can we hold (be present to) the pain of the world? 

The quotes from the middle were read again!

Some potential is here and I feel a restlessness to ... a fear of getting trapped in the sadness and the pain... giving it voice, embrace it ... it can happen next to ... now we have a solid ground to arise from.

This called for the consciousness, the sharpness, the strength!
Consciousness doesn't need me, I am a function of consciousness. 

Anger needs to be here! Because it is here! Anger about the airy tone, the new age intonation... I was missing the strength in my voice, I'm afraid of what it can do!

One voice spoke with strength and clarity:
We need the openness, the receptivity and the sharpness, the strenght to create the new world. It needs strenght to hold the pain, to be present with it; not to comfort it.

What if we are the ones that we are waiting for? What if we are the Wisdom Council for the next president of the US? He can only do it if we all live up to our highest potential!

We spoke about a treshold, our fear. I think we have fear of creating! We are the creators! We are God! There is not an old man with a white beard up in the sky! It is us; there is nobody else to do it!

And we cannot do it alone anymore; it needs the collective. 

We were asked again to embrace all the differences: the fluffyness and the sharpness.

The voice to move forward came in different colours:
- Moving the Edge = acting, constructing
- My jungle is business; I want to bridge... we can create more value with this than with 'normal' business. 

Poem:    Love am in us; is in I; are in you.

Poem:    Sign of human unsuccess  
                in a rapture of distress...   

There is a kind of extacy in the pain, when something new is being born. I don't know why it is so hard to talk about; only poets can...

It was not the poet, but the danser, the performer who is in our midts and then the art of movement was shown to us ...

How can we make a dance from there, where your movement ended?

trying to make a leap... the possibility of a leap ... an interest in the highest potential of this group ... I like to see collective intelligence in action...  singing: Moving, moving, moving; let the edges moving ...

Consciousness is sharpness indeed. The specific sharpness is discernment between the pain IN the field and the pain OF the field (when Evolution cannot move). The practice of discernment: am I attached to the result or not? if it is a missed potential?

There are many lines of cooperation already, the web of cooperatioin is here; it is ready to be activated if we want it! Things do happen already!

IT IS TIME TO MOVE!!!
