Worlding Raga: 2 – What is a World?

In the creation of Worlds, the creator becomes the parent of a World. By creating, caring, and nurturing a living thing, you bank the joys of generating a zone of meaning, purpose, and potentiality where none quite like it existed before.

Worlding is firstly the act of creating a life, then secondly letting that life live itself. The first part is about achieving Aliveness. The second part is about granting Autonomy.

Recall the artist’s dilemma: What do I do with my time? How do I ensure my efforts are worth anything? What is a guaranteed sustainable way to make meaning, relieve restlessness, and weather the changing tides of Reality? The Emissary answers: Worlding!

A World asks us to believe in its inventions and contradictions and to be ‘safe’ from our disbelief. In return, a World eats back at Reality, arms us with perspective, furnishes us with meaning, and gives us some measure of agency to expressively deal with new surprises from Reality.
