Bring Awareness to the Inner Conflict…,
Face and Allow the Intensity…,
A Resolution Will Come.
This approach is not a quick fix, real solutions that have a strong foundation take time. One can buy into superficial facades, but all facades eventually crumble, no matter how thick their construction.
This approach is about stripping back the facade, chipping away at its thick, hard, crusty shell, exposing more and more of what lay beneath. It is not an additive process where something must be done. It is a subtractive process where something must be let go.
It may seem a little ironic that a process titled the “Creative Solution” is actually deconstructive in nature. This is because it is Inwardly Deconstructive, Outwardly Constructive.
A journey of a thousand miles,
begins with the first step.
The often quoted saying above is apt, because it is the only solution available to gain real, substantial results. There are no quick fixes, there are no shortcuts, there are no ways to fake a real resolution.
Any attempt to bring down the facade all at once is also not possible, nor advised. The Energy and Intensity involved would easily crush the unprepared and reset the Conflicts all over again.
The solutions that present themselves with this method may not necessarily be the solutions that are desired, but they are the solutions that are needed. Attachment to specific outcomes is its own Conflict that must be confronted, if One is to move beyond this condition.
Additionally, the solutions may not be a direct course of action to take, they instead may offer a deeper Understanding of the Conflict in question or they may simply allow for the acceptance of a certain, difficult situation.
At any stage in the Creative Solution approach, One will experience the Intensity that One can handle. But then, One can handle a lot more than One thinks.
To lighten the load that may be felt while reading this post, be assured that there are relief stops along the way, places that allow for moments of calm, places to breathe, without facing constant, Intense Conflict all the time.
As One experiences the breakthroughs with each Creative resolution, there will be a sense of a burden being shed and a real satisfaction from the Understanding that follows.
