The Art of the Be. Do. Have– An Introduction By Lisa Kotecki
Author’s note: I sat down to write a “practical” article for you ladies. This is what came out. I trust from my being that these are the words that needed to come out.
Being – that place where heaven and earth unite in union, of stillness, sweetness, of epiphanies, where the voice of the Goddess can speak through us, the Priestess within is free to come out, where the sun kisses the sky, where the birds are singing just for you, a place of a sweet cacophony of rainbow colored kisses, ecstatic union, where there is a recognition we are all one.
Doing – that place of accomplishment, to-do lists, FLOW, organizing, scheduling, checking, re-checking, juggling, va-va-va-va-roooom, burning the midnight oil, jobie-job job kinda stuff
Having –The abundance of the physical world, of money, of toys, of planes trains and automobiles, of those fancy-smancy dinners, French Laundry, Café Gratitude, of Gucci, Prada, Vercace (or a good deal Ross)- the good life that is tangible.
Somewhere in life, it is human nature to be focused on having first, then do a lot of stuff to have, then if there’s time set up time for Being in the Beauty of life.
Being, A deeper look:
Align first with Being – the sweet softness of your inner being – or perhaps she’s fierce and ferocious and knows just how to short cut from the BS to the good stuff, or she’s pragmatic yet open hearted – whoever she is, call on her first before getting into the doing. From this place its much easier to go throughout the day, accomplishing. Problems find easier solutions when we’re in the state of heightened Bliss. Don’t ask me why, we’ve gotta ask the big Woman up above (or within) why that is. And frankly who care’s why, it just is so.
Doing: The practicality of it all (er, sort of):
From this place of being – future trip, future trip HARD. Be in the place of your future self, of your higher self, of your divine self. Speak to her, love her, ask her questions. Let the doing flow through You/Her that space that is, and allow the two of you to merge. She has more wisdom that could ever fit into this human form. She has all kinds of answers that could surprise you. With your journal ask her what to do, ask her how to do it. In this place of future tripping, it’s the joy that expands your beingness. Feelings of lack, of wishing, of wanting, or the likes is a sign that you’re not quite there. Future trip even harder, even more, until the jubilation, excitement, stillness, or whatever that feeling is bursts forth into your being. This is the place that has the wisdom you are seeking for your daily activities. This is the place where those activities you get that spontaneous FLOW. From the joy and excitement of your Being coming forth, activities are more effortless, and ideas have for freedom to flow forth. The Be -Do dance is a delicate balance. To much BE on cloud 9 and the day can slip away. Too much Do, and it can be a curious thing to see where all that doing really got ya.
Having: (cuz diamonds are a girls best friend):
“Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” (Matthew 13:12).
There is no place out there, only in here. The place of wealth is already within. The place of abundance is an inward sensation. Its accepting what’s already so. Its knowing with clear perfect intent what you are wanting to move towards, and the trick is let it move towards you. Go into the “beingness,” from that place, allow yourself to be guided to doing, and the having is inevitable. Your outer world is reflective of what is already dwelling within. The having is just receiving what is already so. So let it BE and it will come. This isn’t suggesting sit on a mountaintop- oh no on the contrary. Go out in your everyday life and do the things necessary to achieve, but do so knowing that you are already whole, perfect, and complete.
Kisses,
Lisa
