Creating and seeing through.
For me, they go hand in hand.
The creating is creating in an ordinary sense. Making a life. Being a good steward of our life. Envision. Follow through. Follow our guidance. Cooperate. And more.
Seeing through can happen in different ways, including more systematically through inquiry. This either requires some desperation and disillusionment with other approaches, or trust or intuition that life, reality, truth, and who and what we are is fundamentally OK. Or a combination of these.
Seeing through can seem scary. We need to face what seems the most scary to us. We need to feel the most uncomfortable feelings. It can take away most or all of what we relied on to find a sense of safety.
And yet, what’s “taken away” is what wasn’t true in the first place. What’s taken away is what we thought was true, and experienced as true.
This reveals what’s already here. What a thought may call presence, clarity, love, intelligence, engagement, intimacy with life. An intimacy that comes from life recognizing itself as this, and this life, this human being in the world, and the world itself.
Creating is natural. Seeing through is equally natural. And we usually need some guidance on both, especially at first.

Creating and seeing through
Both important, part of life
Seeing through – requires some trust that reality /who and what we are – is OK, perhaps even what we really seek
– seeing through – what’s “taken away” is what wasn’t true in the first place (only what we thought was true, experienced as true)
– creating, in an ordinary sense, making a life, being good stewards of our life, envision, follow through, follow our guidance etc.
