The sprouting of opportunities

Visionary Expression

Emerging

Your gifts are starting to become recognized and a higher calling to contribute to societal change has taken over both your internal and external landscapes. You are now driven by something higher than the mind and can access insights and knowledge previously left unexplored. This is an expression bursting with inspiration, drive, insights, discovery and the uncovering and sharing of your inherent gifts.

The beginning of Stage 3 – The Calling leads you on a pathway of curiosity, exploration and higher knowing, bringing you closer to the fine tuning of your visionary expression. Stage 4 – The Commitment is when you no longer strive to deliver something greater than yourself (the mind) and you come into a higher realization of how you can contribute to the higher vision driving us all.

The Emerging Stages

Stage 3

The Calling

This is the stage of exploration and uncovering possibilities around your vision and true expression. The calling is strong enough for you to know you need to make a life change towards alignment. When you attain clarity, you start testing out your ideas with individuals or small groups that resonate.

You have some courage and credibility around your ideas and have already infused them into your work. More people resonate with you and you are committed to your path.

I love it! The Visionary’s Journey helps clarify things I’ve been thinking/feeling/living that have been confusing or mysterious. I find the structure comforting.
