Dissolving Into a Creative Mindset For Unlimited Potential

Last week, we discussed transforming your creative potential into something new, akin to alchemy or chemistry. But once you’ve done this, how do you align yourself in a way that enables you to consistently tap into your creative ideas? How do you access your creative potential when you need it? The answer: Learning how to “dissolve in.” In this episode, Andrew and Dan enlighten us on the concept of dissolving in, which can be summed up in 3 simple but powerful words: Let. Yourself. Go. They discuss the idea that to dissolve into your creative energy is like allowing yourself to be integrated into a field of existence much bigger than you. “In this ninth phase, you are the sugar cube that's dissolving into the Old Fashioned. You are dissolving into something much bigger than you.” – Andrew (7:55) They also discuss ideas such as the critical role of trust within the creative process, guidance on combating fear and hesitation by becoming connected to that universal boundless field of being, and the power of rapport and confidence when applied to the creative process.  “This is the time when you do nothing. You stop and think, ‘Okay, what's gonna happen?’ And you give that space a little bit of space and picture yourself dissolving in, whether it's that field we talked about or it's just the field of creativity.” – Andrew (14:12) To wrap up their chat, Andrew shares golden nuggets for getting better at “dissolving in,” and connecting to that universal field of being.
