Flirting with Infinity: The Holding
The Liminal Space Where Imagination Becomes Material
There is a threshold between desire and manifestation.
Between wanting and having.
A shimmer.
A held breath.
The pause between lightning and thunder.
This is the liminal space.
This is The Holding.
The first movement of Flirting with Infinity: The Opening taught you how to signal readiness.
To add “or better”.
To leave the light on while possibility leans closer.
“Or Better” is a flirtation with infinite possibility.
A recognition of desires not yet imagined.
The Opening loosened certainty and widened the field just enough for desire to orient itself.
The Holding is the stillness that follows, when nothing needs to move, and everything is allowed to arrive in its own time.
The second movement invites a different mastery.
Remaining present inside that closeness.
Standing steady on the threshold between what has been and what is arriving.
Here, imagination shifts from wishful to architectural.
Here, the pause becomes fertile.
Here, creation receives its instructions.
The liminal space carries intelligence.
It arranges.
It listens.
Thresholds often feel uncomfortable because they stretch identity.
Most people rush through them.
The space between sending the proposal and receiving the response feels unbearable.
The gap between planting the seed and seeing the first green shoot stirs feels like failure.
The quiet after naming a desire feels like rejection rehearsing its lines.
So you fill it.
You second-guess.
You revise downward.
Vision wavers.
Certainty gets chased.
A quick reach for reassurance interrupts what was still assembling.
Creation stalls quietly here, often mistaken for absence.
The Holding asks for a different kind of devotion.
It asks you to stay.
To breathe.
To let your imagination do what it does best: architect realities that haven’t materialized yet.
Because anything imagined here can be created.
Not someday. Not in theory.
Here. Now. In this threshold.
This is where the Prosperity Ecosystem performs some of its most sacred work. Your nervous system, your first CFO, interprets the pause.
When the pause registers as unsafe, contraction follows.
Resources tighten.
Old negotiations with scarcity resume.
When the pause registers as safe, expansion becomes available.
The body softens.
The space between desire and receipt turns receptive.
Here, tending replaces grasping.
The soil is nourished.
The seeds are sung to.
Life continues while the meal simmers, trusting heat and time to collaborate.
Imagination becomes ceremonial in this movement.
The Holding is where identity recalibrates.
Here, you inhabit the version of yourself who already receives.
Through sensation.
Through familiarity.
Through embodied recognition.
Your system learns the feeling of the contract signed.
The money landing.
The yes spoken cleanly.
Overflow registering as ordinary.
The body records experience through sensation.
Memory and rehearsal share the same language.
Safety gets encoded.
Belonging settles in.
When imagination is engaged from inside The Holding, arrival becomes recognizable.
Preparation replaces vigilance.
Receipt replaces bracing.
Everything downstream shifts.
The liminal space also holds grief.
Grief from earlier attempts.
From long seasons of waiting.
From desires once met with silence.
Here, grief becomes material.
It composts.
What hurt sharpens clarity.
What ended expands capacity.
The threshold metabolizes experience into wisdom.
Presence allows this transformation.
Staying lets the alchemy complete.
Older systems favored output, acceleration, endurance.
The Holding teaches integration.
Loss becomes intelligence.
Longing becomes precision.
Imagination sculpts the future from everything that survives.
Integration lives here.
Between the flirt and the first kiss.
Between the invitation and the arrival.
Between the signal and the response.
Between naming a desire and watching it cross the threshold.
This is The Holding inside your Prosperity Ecosystem.
It’s where capacity, energy, and timing learn how to cooperate.
The Opening widened the field.
The Holding conditions the system to receive.
The third movement, The Remembering, approaches next.
Healing that circulates backward and forward through time.
Learning that reorganizes memory and possibility simultaneously.
Presence so coherent it reshapes the room.
The Holding cannot be bypassed.
Capacity expands here.
The nervous system learns to remain open under the weight of worth.
Imagination shifts from fantasy into infrastructure.
Creation stabilizes.
So when you find yourself between wanting and having, remember:
You are tending.
You are germinating.
You are preparing for a level of receiving that matches who you are becoming.
Let imagination widen alongside devotion.
Let the pause educate your body in safety and expansion.
The threshold opens as you stay.
And you are standing exactly where becoming happens.
👉 Reflection Prompts
What are you rushing through that actually needs tending?
What does your imagination want to build in the space between desire and arrival?
How does your body feel when you imagine already having what you’ve asked for?
🔥 Daily Affirmation
I am anchored in my body and held by timing that serves me.
Desire moves through me as pleasure, creativity, and life force.
I stand rooted in worth that feels calm, solid, and undeniable.
My heart remains soft and spacious as what I desire comes closer.
My voice carries readiness through presence, tone, and truth.
I receive what is meant for me as a natural continuation of who I am.
PS: Profit is Protest and so is allowing creation to complete itself.
The Holding is where worth becomes load-bearing, imagination becomes structure, and the pause reveals its true function.
Stay on the threshold.
What’s arriving requires your full expansion.
January 23rd at 1:30 pm Pacific, I’m teaching a live, free masterclass called
Or Better Business Planning.
This is The Opening in practice.
The moment where intention widens, structure softens, and possibility is allowed to take direction.
We’ll work with real numbers and real strategy, held by a posture that knows how to receive.
If you’ve felt the field widen while reading this series,
this is where you step through.
Oooh grief as compost is a really good image ☺️
