P. 51

When a writer begins a story or an artist a
              painting, they will have an idea of what they are
              aiming for, they will have a vision or a dream of
              what they aspire to achieve. Without the dream
              they wouldn’t be motivated to begin, and the
              process of creative change would never get
              started.

              Let us now bring our dreaming into the space of
              our immediate world.

              I wish to invite you to bring to mind something
              that you would like to be different.

              Now let us dream about this situation through
              the principles of spiritual empathy.

                 •  Firstly, let’s create a space within, where
                     noticing is the primary desire, and let us
                     view the situation from the perspective of
                     ourselves as the source of potential
                     change.

                 •  Let us now receive the situation.

                 •  Let us invite both our mind and our
                     emotions to the stage. Let us notice the
                     way that we feel about this situation.
                     How are our emotions informing us?
                     What do we need to hear?

                                                                51
