Fantasies Born From Seeds in Reality

Golden seeds

Monday Prompt: How many of the things I fantasize about already exist in some form in my present reality?

This prompt got me thinking. Many of my fantasies are born from seeds planted in my reality. From my past and present- and perhaps even from my future?

Glimpses of what I want in my future planted firmly in my mind’s eye and my heart. Sparking deeper fantasies of what could be.

Synchronicities implanted deep in my psyche. Foundations forged by crushing heartbreak, Freedom the catalyst.

This prompt also reminded me of an oracle card that I love which is called What is already with you. It is from one of my favorite oracle decks, Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild.

In the description, it says “What you are seeking ,perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose.”

My fantasies are born from seeds in my reality. Let me give you an example; The first job that I worked in for a long time allowed me to be a part of a tight nit community. Experiencing this allowed me to see both the negatives and positives of being immersed in such a supportive collective group dynamic. In some ways, it was beautifully intimate, spiritually awakening, and comfortably familiar. In other ways, it was emotionally challenging, heart-breaking, and completely overwhelming.

It had good and bad in it- like anything in life.

My experience of working in this environment allowed me to carry over some of the good from this experience into what I wish to see in my future in some aspects. For example, I learned to not lose myself as I did then to find connections. I discovered connection can be just as intimate, and loving without self-compromise or emotional volatility.

The seed of seeking loving human connection I believe was born from many of my experiences there. And so it carries into many of my current fantasies about loving unions and intimate connections I want in my life now.

I discovered a lot of the work I have to do on myself has to do with caring for myself first and standing firm in my boundaries.

My fantasies now often revolve around having supportive connections where we uplift one another and can form intimate emotional and spiritual bonds that don’t require attachment or rules or regulations.

I’m seeking open, free, creative, expressive loving people in my life. Which I already have some of- but would like more.

I want to co-create and collaborate, inspire, and be inspired.

Now for the first time in my life, I find myself unemployed and creating, turning inwards to bear the darkness. I know in my heart that the golden seeds I have planted are slowly sprouting.

It is just a matter of time before they manifest into reality. Born from seeds planted in my reality.

I fantasize about writing books, about creating oracle and tarot decks, about earning all my income from home, about meeting new and interesting people, and about forming loving connections.

Many of these fantasies I am trying to integrate into my life now through simply acting on them in the small ways I can for now.

Some days it feels like a hard battle against reality, against all that I once knew and believed. But It feels like the only way forward for me now.

It feels like I am planting an abundance of seeds in my garden, patiently nourishing and watering them to life, carefully guarding the tender sprouts against the darkness that surrounds me.

I believe within every single person’s fantasies lies the key to unlocking possibilities, potential, opportunities.

The main barrier is often just ourselves.

My inner work has left this message with me so many times.

Get out of your own way Camille- I remind myself.

Our fantasies are often born of our real-life experiences, and the more we open our minds to experience life, the grander and more widely we can dream. Our Fantasies are born from seeds in our realities. Our fantasies create desires and leave us with passionate purpose.

I believe we’re given these gifts for a reason. Though I realize it is extremely rebellious to follow the path of your heart. It is incredibly courageous too.

Reading many of the stories on KTHT has given me the inspiration and support I needed to keep pushing forward on my journey. To keep inquiring with my heart and to not give up on the process.

I will write books. I will create oracle and tarot decks. I will earn all my income from home. And I will meet new and interesting people and form loving connections.

These things are already etched into my future, the trick is to stay on track. Keep believing, bear the darkness and stay clear with the vision to see that many of the things I fantasize about already exist in some form in my present reality.

Patiently tending to my garden gives me purpose,

Reaching up to the sun I pray for a sign,

Freedom births new fears,

But I can conquer,

Destruction brings new life.

Wait and see what will appear, your fantasies will be born. Abundantly they will arrive.

Thanks Diana C. for this beautiful prompt!
