Resistance is a mystical substance
an energetic molasses requiring a push to get through.
Resistance is proof that creativity is the greatest medicine.
If it was easy to sit down at the easel, easy to speak, easy all the time to make your art… Well it wouldn’t be so damn rewarding would it?
It’s not that life has to be hard, not at all. This isn’t a generic “hardness” we’re talking about. Resistance is, in fact, inherently spiritual. It is an inherently mystical substance that floats through our consciousness… right before your fingers start typing and your paintbrush hits the canvas.
Resistance is the fork in the road. It was there right before the Universe went BANG and exploded with all sorts of creation. It’s in lovers’ eyes as they choose each other and say “to have and to hold.” It’s there before any choice of significance. Of course there’s a little resistance right before you move consciousness fully in a certain direction.
We’re talking about infinite intelligence here. A thing so powerful it has created all that you see. Such a thing shouldn’t just be thrown about without care, without thought, without intuitive guidance…
without resistance.
So maybe resistance is a mystical substance that floats between you and your blank page — purposefully creating a molasses of space that takes a little push to go through.
The same push it took to get you here. The same push that gets the ball rolling and your voice vibrating into words. The pulling back of an arrow. The uncomfortable moment of sprouting from the soil into the light.
Resistance is no problem at all. It’s the energetic status showing you that something worthy of your consciousness is about to happen. Because something so full of potential as your unique fractal of consciousness… deserves a little contemplation. It merits special hiking shoes to wade through the field with.
You’re getting a green light when you feel resistance. You’re receiving a special invitation to hoist the sails and catch the wind — to intentionally choose your direction and where you’d like to go.
Without resistance, you’re a monkey with 64 different colors to paint with and no idea at all what’s even worth your artistry. You end up just blobbing about, hoping for the best, fully on auto-pilot.
But when you get that idea and start feeling energetic molasses build around you… You’re in the right place. You’ve got a wink from God and the go-ahead to wiggle your way onto step one.
The mystical substance of Resistance has arrived and you’re the mixologist who’ll know exactly what to do with it. You’ll need to take a few deep breaths, relax your shoulders, hype yourself up, and go. And as soon as you begin, that molasses begins to lighten. It dissolves and becomes a flow of encouragement. It’s fuel in your fire.
And that’s why recognizing resistance for what it really is opens you up to the true medicine of creativity. The true purpose of your authentic expression. It’s a birth portal. It’s a sticky choice that honors how powerful the Source is.
With such a vital, precious resource coded into your vessel… You better believe the factory setting includes a moment of “are you sure about this?” A foolproof two-factor authentication to make sure this is truly where you want to funnel your magic.
The light is green, but you still have to put your foot on the gas. The mountain is there, the trail is clear, but you must lace up your shoes and get to walking.
Resistance is a mystical substance… and you’re here to be its master alchemist.
