Stepping Into the Calling

A reflection on how nervousness and vulnerability can signal a deeper energetic invitation, and why moving toward that edge is a way of stepping out of identification.

The nervousness, the anxiety: that is more on the surface. That is what you will notice first, because it tends to sit in the foreground. But what I am speaking to is something more subtle and deep. At some point it may become more prominent, more central to your experience. It is a deeper energetic, a vulnerability, a movement at the heart center. The nervousness and anxiety are simply the way the mind responds to, or tries to manage, that deeper current.

The unnamed force

There is a saying: when two or more meet in my name, I will be there. And there is something to that. But think of it not as a person, not as God. Think of it as an energetic, a mysterious, deep connecting force, just to call it something. We do not have to give it any particular name. We could call it the tree of life. We could call it the bringer of joy. The name does not matter.

Moving toward the edge

My recommendation, always with the caveat of discernment and deep listening, is to step into that space when you feel it. When there is a little nervousness, a little anxiety, but also a calling in a certain direction, and the nervous, anxious response arises in reaction to that calling, that is a sign. Move into it. Do not miss the opportunity.

It is actually a way of stepping out of identification, stepping out of the known, out of the world of thought and into the reality of energetics, into the flow of the forces of life as they move through you.
