Some further thoughts came to me, so I'm adding on in the comments.
To create from a place of "doing" - of Implementation - is to create with the forward thinking perspective that you know what you are going to create.
Your focus and your perspective are narrowed, and you are invariably cut off from your internal voice, from your YOU.
This is, I think, where many people go astray, because without a clear understanding of who you are and what that voice is saying BEFORE you go into Implementation, it's very easy to carry someone else's voice into that space of doing.
And thus, you spend your time doing things that are someone else's voice - someone else's swing.
To my eyes, being as much as you can in Receivership allows you to have that access to your own personal voice for as long as much as possible.
Decided I'm gonna continue throwing thoughts in the comments here as they come to me.
One of the things about operating in receivership is being ok with whatever outcome comes to you as you do, create, and observe.
When you aren't goal-focused (which is in implementation) then the specificity of an outcome shouldn't matter. Creating and doing without a specific goal other than to create/do and see what happens.
in fact, any outcome at all should be exciting, because that means a new thread, a new piece of the puzzle, a new possible next step revealed. There's no good or bad, right or wrong, just what appears if you allow it.
You know you've written something good when you can go back, read your own writing, and discover (or rediscover) clarity and understanding.
I've been digging through the many articles I published on TGA
And ran across this one.
Found myself reading through it ... not sure the last time I did.
I wrote this over 2 years ago,
And I think, after reading it again, it's safe to say this was one of the most profound articles I wrote during that time period.
Oddly enough,
I think it strikes me now as even more profound than it did then.
On this trip through,
Of course the river is different and so am I...
I am reminded of the power and importance of receivership, while also realizing that for much of my life in recent months I have been completely failing to get myself into that space.
At least,
When it comes to the writing.
I've just,
Plain forgot.
It's become DO DO DO, go go go.
And I can see now how consistently and perhaps persistently I have been lodged within the implementation part of The Pendulum.
(For those following along with JATS, I don't think this has anything to do with the seasons ... though I'm sure someone has a counter opinion on that point)
The problem for me,
Is that my best writing happens in receivership, and I haven't been there.
The writing that makes me feel alive,
The writing I want to do most and continually think I am chasing after being able to do.
The writing which brought me here.
I don't know how I forgot. How could I forget that one of the greatest gifts I could give myself is just being able to write freely in receivership?
I guess I can thank myself. I'm glad I wrote this so that 2 years later I could remind myself what really matters.

Love it! thank you :)
This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
Have you been exposed to any of Dr. Jeff Spencer's stuff, yet? It's a rabbit hole worth going down, methinks
he introduced me to The Field by Lynne McTaggart five or six years ago. I have a feeling you'd get along
