As much as we must awaken to the inner feeling of the I-nurturing and birthing womb, we must also awaken to the inner feeling of I as a being of the world.

Here we find encounters with the masculine and paternal Thou that recognizes and encourages  our readiness for standing in the world as I.

These individuals make observations, ask questions, provide opportunities and offer guidance that indicates there will be a time when you will step into the world.  Take the risk!  The world waits for you!

Through some gesture in their being, you find the feeling that strength lives in your back, that light lives in your eyes, that truth moves through your words, that skill lives in your hands, that the ground waits for your step, and the stars wait for your song.

You feel your I Am, not just as an inner reality, but as a worthy presence in the world because this other as Thou feels you as a contribution.

It's not the about manifesting the contribution at all, rather it is about you feeling you are a contribution because in the unselfish heart of the Thou, you were felt for all you are. And that Thou also feels the world with its need for you.

Reflect on those who have enflamed in you a fullness of self that can bring to the world that which is yours to bring.

What must be understood is that they may be quite ordinary, perhaps even dull, but in a particular moment their "I Am" appeared in order to be a Thou for you.  So do not look for a saint-like individual, no more than you should look to become a saint-like individual. Look for the momentary Thou that appeared as a beacon lighting up your feeling that you were of real value for others, the planet, and the future.

The womb invites us into ourselves to become, the world urges us to step out of ourselves to be. Two polar gestures that meet in your I through your encounters with Thou.

You might want to share with us about those who have led you into the womb and/or out to the world.
