Dialoguing with Nature—The Nuts and Bolts 1

Stating an intention, what it is we want to accomplish, is easy for most people. Stating that intention with great presence and one-pointed concentration is also within the realm of everyday experience for most of us, at least in short spurts. Probably people with meditation experience are better at it.


It's the next step that can cause difficulty, It is indeed quite culturally alien to many of us to allow our bodily intelligence, and by extension, the natural/physical/biological intelligence that embraces us, to just do its own thing.


"Trying," "working," and generally being dictatorial towards natural/physical/biological intelligence within the bounds of our own body and home are much more the order of the day.


So here's the key to resolving this particular "sticking point" in working with natural/physical/biological intelligence. 


Just remember that a dialogue with natural/physical/biological intelligence is a dialogue. 


There are two parties involved—1. You. 2. Nature intelligence. 


If you are stating an intention with presence, sincerity, and concentration, and you don't want to just talk to yourself, the next step is to give the other side the space and time required to demonstrate that it hears you and it responds to you. 


It's just like having a conversation with another person. If you never stop talking, you'll never hear what the other person knows.
