I probably haven’t done enough—and I probably couldn’t do enough, to stress how much playing with others is key to the work of curing the suffering that genius can cause. I couldn’t have tamed my own daimon without the help of my magical friends who love me when I’m miserable and throw insanely great parties with me when I’m happy.
All of which is to say, in order to grow, you need other magic people with active geniuses. You need to gather them up and involve them in your play. For me, organizing parties is my favorite way to play.
Perhaps you have another thing that rings your bell: maybe you like to play kickball while wearing aluminum-foil hats, maybe you like to build blanket forts, maybe you like to create tiny villages for elves (this was Jung’s major game—don’t knock it till you’ve tried it). Whatever it is, start doing it and invite others to help you.
Enjoying ecstasy alone at home while virtualizing is pretty great—enjoying ecstasy in concert with others while playing and pretending can be ten times as amazing because of all the other fields of love and brilliance present there to resonate with and amplify yours.
Since you’re on this path and you’ve read this book, you’re resonating with me, and I would love to know you better and let my friends get to know you. I hope you’ll come join us in the free Facebook group I facilitate for magic people. It’s called the Dreamer’s Tantra, and you can either just search for that on Facebook and then click “request to join” or you could type in this link: www.facebook.com/groups/thedreamerstantra.
I hope you’ll also feel free to play with me on Twitter. My name is @carolynhoney.
To get updates from me regarding rad stuff, I’ll be doing in the future you can go to my website, www.awesomeyourlife.com, and enter your email address to join my mailing list.
I also highly recommend getting involved with the Evolver Network as an organizer or participant: www.evolvernetwork.org.
I gratefully do one-on-one sessions with magic people in a state of spiritual emergence or crisis or with folks who just need some inspiration, and so I invite you to check my website (again, that’s www.awesomeyourlife.com) to find out how to schedule a conversation with me.
Finally, I would love to be able to offer all my one-on-one sessions, writing, and events for free. If you’ve benefited from this book, I invite you to consider committing to a weekly gift of twenty-five cents (or whatever suits your heart and budget) to kindly support my ongoing existence and efforts. You can do this via the crowdfunding gift-economy platform Gittip.com. My Gittip account profile can be found under my Twitter name @carolynhoney.
