In understanding a creative spirit lies in each heart in a cage of our own making longing to come out and the possibility of creating a gentle phoenix for any creative endeavor, probably the greatest gift we can give another is the safe and secure space for their creative spirit to freely unfold true to itself. Alternatively said, we each carry and dream within the heart that is reflective for the intention for our life. There is something we are here to do and here to experience and we need another or others to have those experience for creation/Creation is not done alone. Only in doing what we incarnated to do will we find a deep inner satisfaction that never runs dry and a fullness of being Doing what we incarnated to do provides a contentment within, and about, life that provides an unparalleled satisfaction with life.

It cannot be understated or over emphasized that creation/Creation is not done alone. We each need another or other to give us the experiences we desire to have. This is particular true about Physical Creation and the fact that it is a shared reality. There is a tremendous amount an individual will need to do on their own to break out of the cage that confines their creative spirit. However, because we are in a shared creation, the importance of another is more significant than if our creation was not shared. As a shared creation others, in some way, are depending on us to live our truth. Without us living our truth, others do not get the experience they incarnated to have. In this regard, when we give the space for the creative spirit of another to become free, we both give that space of freedom to ourselves and open ourselves to the experience the other gives us.

We need to remember, we cannot give what we do not have. If we give the space to another for their creative spirit to come out, our creative spirit will also come out. That is, although we may have never given ourselves permission for our creative spirit to come out, giving ourselves permission for another’s creative spirit to come out means we have the ability and awareness to let our own creative spirit out. This then bring us to an interesting phenomenon.

When we give the space for another for their creative spirit to come out, our creative spirit will naturally also come out. If we stop our creative spirit from unfolding true to itself because of what we face in its release, we also take away that space for another. They will suddenly find themselves becoming imprisoned by us. They will either then have to withdrawal or put their creative spirit back into its cage. Similarly if we give ourselves the space for our creative spirit to come out, we will find those individual who desire to give us that space. But then, they may be only able to give us a little space or only the space for a short period of time. When their creative spirit begins to come out because of the space they give us they may become frighten at what is happening and they will withdrawal.

This is why it is said above, the greatest gift we can give another is the safe and secure space for their creative spirit to come out for in the process we will have to become different. It requires us to become a creative shape shifter to become whatever their creative spirit needs us to become. For us to become that creative shape shifter, we will have to transform ourselves and become different. We will have to face the creative process and both the sacrifice of creation and the chaos of creation. We will have to face some type and kind of death within our own being and in the outside world. A part of our inner world and outer world as we know it will die and become different. Yet in doing so, untold gifts are reveals.

It is here understanding the possibility of gentle phoenix for any creative endeavor becomes important. When we realize we have to become a creative shape shifter to shift our shape and face the sacrifice of creation we can do it in a relative faster, easier and gentler way that we normally would have to face. Here it needs to be noted that we cannot give what we do not have. In giving ourselves that gentle phoenix, we also give a gentle phoenix for the one who is releasing their creative spirit.

To consciously be aware of supporting the dream of another and the free unfoldment of their creative spirit, we, in essence, become a rainmaker. We will create the space for the flowing waters of life to nourish the parched dry inner landscape to being forth a new life within the individual. This new life is reflected in the free unfoldment and free expression of their creative spirit and the new life it creates in the external world.

What need to be understood is that we each need another to support our creative efforts. We need a place to go where someone supports our dream. The whole concept of "finding a mate," marriage and the like is, in part, about looking for someone to support our dream and what we wish to manifest. The issue we face in either finding that individual for ourselves or becoming that individual willing to become a creative shape shifter and give the safe and secure space to another for their creative spirit to come out is that we, or they, may only be together in each others’ life long enough for their, or our, creative spirit to come and become strong enough to stand on its own two feet. We cannot become attached to the one who for whom we create the space or attached to the one who created the space for us. Our attachment will cause both our creative spirit and their creative spirit to become bound in some way and not find the freedom that is sought. The individual who needs to be in our life such our creative spirit remains free may not be them. Similarly, the individual who needs to be in their life for their creative spirit to remain free may not be us. Creating the space to sustain the free unfoldment of a creative spirit is different than creating the space for it to come out. If we are meant to create with them, the energy will be there as will the desire and the freedom within our being.

In actually all our relationship in life are about finding another to support our dream and give us the safe and secure space for our creative spirit to freely unfold. We continually look for someone to support our dream. We package it different ways and give it different names, but in the end, it is simply about finding the support for our dream and giving support to another's dream.
