Exploring The Shift
The shift is not a thing. It is the action of discovering Self.

This site is now exactly two months old and today I took the opprtunity to look at it with what you call a set of fresh eyes. What has happened here within such short time is mind boggling. The forum had it's 3000th post today, the dictionary has over 175 entries and I had a great time creating the mechanics of this place and exchanging with the wonderful people here, although great also includes a bit of challenging.

Yesterday I saw a blog entry from the CEO of the hosting company where he was thinking aloud about the treats of being an entrepreneur. As you probably know, I'm running a small software business and while building that I used a lot of those traits, although now that it's running I don't do that anymore. But in buidling this site I guess I called up those very aspects of myself, the night hours, the intensity and most of all the not being satisfied until things are perfect (not that the site is perfect now or can ever be and of course at the same time it was perfect in each stage and is). For example you wouldn't believe how much tweaking went into the design and typesetting.

However, I guess I owe latter to being sumafi (this sort of puts a nice slant on Matt's idea that you're born an entrepreneur), but I also noticed a lot of sumari and even gramada (which I usually don't do) in the process. A nice essence family stew.

Elias once told Mike in a session that this essence (me, us) explores the manipulation of large amounts of energy and if there's something which describes me, than that is it. I guess it takes a bit of energy to build something like this in such a short time, and the challenge is to allow it rather than push it – and I don't claim to have mastered that challenge to any full extend in this particular case. But anyway, mostly it's been great fun to build this place.

What I have been missing though was to write actual content and to exchange with people on more than a superficial level. Not that I didn't write content, but I sort of did not allow myself to take the time to do so without pushing, I tend to be fixated on the outcome rather than savouring the process. The few entries in this blog are telltale of that – besides the fact, that I still don't have a clear idea what the blog is for, but b2evolution it's such a wonderful piece of software that I want to keep it and more important I want to use it.

Now, to make a long story short, I'm hereby declaring the site ready to go and want to thank everybody for their help, input and encouragement.
