Trusting in Life

### What is the mechanism by which we spontaneously speak, write, create, and generate so many things?

This dialogue started for me when I was talking to my friends about rapping, but it soon bloomed into a large flower of connections to all kinds of things. The same kind of flow could be said to exist in channeling our higher selves. Inspiration in a nutshell, means breathing, or taking in the breath or spirit. So there's this fundamental recognition that we receive the ideas and flow from a place that is not our mind. The mind is just the processor. We can all tap into that, as long as we come from a place of trust, or at least being willing to be wrong (in terms of our preconceived notions of right/wrong).

_It's not so easy when there's a strong habit of trying to make sense of things. I have been full time training myself to stop trying to make sense of things and just allow them to flow. There is something bodily, or some kind of 'brain state' that kicks in - and when we inhabit that space we naturally speak our truth._

So somehow this is tied in to inuition, in that it's about trusting life. Do I know what I am talking about? Well I have no guarantees about that, but I can trust life enough to sit down at the desk and write this article. I will see how it goes, there seems to be some willingness or urge to convey something. For me this is my writing process, and really it's my everything process. When I want to do something, then as much as possible I want to allow it to happen by not over thinking it - and just doing it. It seems like madness but something in me know that the steps will magically appear before me as I need them.

__At some point this attitude came of wanting to dive into things without knowing what I was doing. This kind of attitude can burn you pretty bad, but at the same time you may get to taste some treasures that no one else was willing to go for.__

I feel as if this is a very universal dialogue, that can apply to any person. Furthermore I feel like it's a very important thing to explore when we are so dominated by things like fears and inhibitions, self judgments and all these kind of things. I have friends who have utterly amazing gifts to share to the world, but unfortunately they fall victim time and time again to a voice in their head that creates obstacles. 

_I could very well be in the same boat, yet in recognizing it I am actively working against this tendency and building a life around being ok with the unknown._

I know many times I have not put the first foot forward into a particular realm merely because I had already pre judged my self and pre decided what the outcome was going to be. So a lot of stories will come into the mind when we get the feeling to follow a genuine intuition. On a fundamental level though, there was only one transaction - and it was me being too afraid to face the unknown and possible failure of something I have no idea about.

> It's like life puts its hand out, and in our fear and mistrust we miss the greatest opportunities and the things that were meant especially for us. That is a kind of glass half empty perspective, but for arguments sake it does explain how a human being can get stuck in a life they don't want to be in anymore.

I feel that this one thing could potentially unlock our entire lives. Because ultimately all of life is unknown, and if it is known then it is a tired dead thing that we were expecting. There is a crucial key of knowledge that is very near when we talk about this. Death is the ultimate unknown, and the response is fear. It comes from our mind based survival system. How we handle and integrate this process can determine a lot.

__The known is an artifice, and it is saddening to see so much of human behavior geared toward manufacturing expected and uniformed outcomes. It comes at a great cost - our connection to life its self, the greatest unknown there is.__
