I’m getting an idea a day, it seems, on what a good CEO does.
Today I got that a good CEO creates space, openings, opportunities.
The contribution goes largely unnoticed – in the same way that the contribution of listening also does. An assist is not a goal on the big scoreboard of our social life. A goal is tangible and noteworthy; an assist is not.
Sometimes creating space requires retreating from territory, surrendering the point, risking looking bad and wrong. We’re preserving the existing space by yielding the point. We’re choosing our battles. But it may feel counter-intuitive.
What a great metaphor for an organization: Keep creating space, openings, opportunities. A selfless act which unties knots. What is the Reval about but the creation of space, openings, and opportunities?

And what will we do with that space? Untangle a few knots in society? Untangle a few knots in ourselves? Or create new ones?
That depends on our level of detachment.
If by now we’re still connected to Third-Dimensional pleasures, we may find it difficult to untangle knots or disconnect from many things. Thus we may not flow or find it easy to surrender to change.
Once the solar flare, planetary heart opening, Wave of Love, or Ring of Fire hits us, and we experience transformative/transfigurative love for the first time, everything will change in a heartbeat, so to speak. Nothing worldly will attract; only more love.
We won’t need to flow. All we’ll need to do is surrender to the love which always flows by itself and now automatically moves through us. It must always flow. (1) It does our work for us.
It’s like we’re holding onto a floating log as it goes down an irresistible current, all the time in euphoria.

But let me repeat here what I say in the footnote. Let me underline it, bold it, italicize it, and shine a spotlight on it:
Archangel Michael: To have an experience of love, it [must move] through you.
We cannot hoard love or it will disappear. We cannot deny love to someone. Love is universal by its very nature. It goes wherever it’s welcomed. If we try to deny it to someone, it will leave us.
We have to share it. When we help another person, ever notice how love arises in us? We just got our reward. Remember what Jesus said? You get your reward in heaven? It’s heaven to be in that (transformative) love.
To experience that love, we must share it. We experience it as it moves through us and out to the world.
Yes, we get it from others. But the real pipeline, the artesian well is in the heart.
Footnotes
(1) Archangel Michael: Love is the energy of the universe. It is the energy of the Mother. And it moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love, it [must move] through you. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 5, 2018.) (Hereafter AAM.) [My emphasis.]
AAM: Love is a fluid energy. It has need to flow and so when it does not flow it becomes… Well, as you put it, it can become dry and brittle. It has need to be given and received above, below, within, without and in every which way. (AAM, April 30, 2019.)
