To enter the Creative Realm, you must leave behind everything.
Otherwise, when you exit, you will have nothing.
If you do not enter empty, you will not enter completely
and will risk returning with your preconceptions
simply dressed up in new distortions.
To enter empty demands we release our hold on what holds us.
We must release our misguided beliefs
that we possess anything or control anything.
To enter empty demands we must disconnect
from our pretense of security
and interrupt the continuity of our memories
projecting into our future.
Above all, to enter empty demands
we detach ourselves from fear.
We enter not by passing through a portal
but by allowing ourselves to become the portal.
The experience of the Creative Realm is a state of being
that permits restructuring of formless, unidentified energies
into new probabilities of configurations,
not simply for novelty,
but for Truth.
When we exit the Realm, our state of being
must necessarily contract to our limitations.
We return with a responsibility to use skills unique to ourselves
to manifest new patterns of connectivity,
for until we choose to enact our expression of the Truth,
it will remain a secret even to ourselves.
So we must paint a new painting, mold a new sculpture,
reason a new theory, take a new measurement,
make a new machine, compose a new melody, write a new poem,
dance a new dance, relate a new response, speak a new heart.
In this way, no matter how long our visit, the depth of the Truth,
or the complexity of our expression of its form,
we join others who have also returned from the Creative Realm.
Together, we participate in a grand weaving of the great mysteries
that accelerate the transformation of us all.
