Naming It

Hello all:  It’s been ten months since the Rick Jarow AoA blog went live on WordPress. I’ve enjoyed witnessing this largely successful experiment that opened a channel between Rick and folks interested in his ideas re: manifesting the life and livelihood they desire. Many thousands of guests have visited these pages. Learning to engage life as a grace-full dance of energies instead of a glut of enemies to be conquered is gaining ground — as it must. (Now for this to trickle up our governmental food chain…) The discernment between these approaches is crucial; it’s all about the energy signatures we engage as co-creators of our manifest reality. Are energies flowing in harmonious collaboration, or fractured into opposing dualities much of the way?  

Early on, Rick encouraged me to contribute some writing in this space, and I have shied from doing so. Recently, though, I’ve been feeling, observing, and experiencing a few things along a certain theme that I thought I’d share, before the maiden year of the AoA blog closes out. So, while Rick is busy manifesting elsewhere, here’s my offering to the Alchemy of Abundance crucible – involving a manifestation journey of my own. Perhaps there’s something in it for you.

For over a year, I’ve had a slippery hold on a vision for a project I’d like to manifest. Like most creative projects in “this Now,” this one involves a website. In fact, the website is the core aspect; the sun around which numerous planets and satellites would revolve in mutually supportive alignments. The mere expanse and complexity of this project intimidated me, and moreover… the working title I had for it didn’t ignite me. This might not block most people, but I realized recently, looking back at other creations, that I seem to need to name a thing I want to call forth — its signature, or mantra, so to speak — before I can successfully manifest it. So the project kind of sat there, orphaned, burdened with a boring name.  

These past couple of months I’ve given more attention to this situation, this name issue, and spent more time focusing on the nature of “the being” trying to come into manifestation. What is trying to emerge here? Who would the primary players be? What is the important service I’m feeling called to provide by way of it? What is the primary theme that is up for me that I dearly want to energize through this expression? I keyed in on the primary theme (not as easy/obvious as one might expect) and then a primary word, and then played with that word, in all kinds of forms and pairings with other words, for several weeks. THE name remained elusive. On occasion I thought I might be on to something, only to find that the domain was already taken, or the vibration just didn’t quite resonate in some other way. On and on.

 Last week: a breakthrough…
