Storytellers, bards, séanachie and wisdom teachers all teach the essential lesson. Trust!

This is the key to their living a holistic and holy way.  It is a way of inner seeing and insight into the nature of their place in the world.  They are living from inner wisdom.

Our wisdom voice, which is our inner teacher, comes to us through our intuition, our inner tutor.  Our inner tutor blossoms when we play with our imagination.  The key here is the experience of playing with images and symbols.

Play is something we have forgotten to give time to.  We did this naturally when we were children.  It was our delight.  When we were children we had vast reserves of energy and we hardly ever ran out of ideas about how we might create a play filled experience.

This storyteller uses his imagination to create stories.  These are stories intended to heal and make whole those who receive them. These stories come from nowhere.  They come out of the blue. But for this to happen a number of conditions need to be in place. 

There has to be trust in the process

The creative process is just that – a process, often a very delicate one. I liken it to the birthing process. It is best if you allow it to have its own time. While it may be measured nine months chronologically for a human being to gestate, it takes two years for an elephant. Just trust!

Practice patience

For this Irish storyteller, this has been and remains one of the hardest aspects of the process.  This storyteller wants the play of creation to happen his way, right now! Otherwise, there is the threat of a tantrum. Quite unseemly for one his age! There is great truth in the paradoxical saying, “Infinite patience brings instant results.” Remember this. 

Love symbols

What you love you will play with and attend to and be attentive towards. Symbols are not just nice shapes. They have meaning and they give meaning.  They are an outer representation of an inner state of being.  If you pay attention then you will, over time, begin to identify those symbols that keep repeating in your life and which you have to deal with in order that creation express as Love through you.

 Be Imaginative

 Please notice that this fourth invitation begins with the word ‘be.’  You cannot ‘do’ imagination. It arises from trust in the being you are.  The creative intelligence that created you does not lack imagination. It can and does the action of imaging through billions and trillions of forms. Every snowflake is a miracle of imagination from the intelligence that lives inside all of us.

To become conscious of our wisdom voice, or higher self, we need to hold our intention and trust the process, to have patience and to pay attention to our imagination.
