The Power of Edits : How to Hone Your Skills and Stop “Saving Your Butt.”

When we understand editing, we hone part of our super power and access a strong energetic dormant potential.

Editing is a skill that we all possess. We use this ability in all aspects of life — not only in art, music, and design — but also in conversation, the way we dress, when we drive, buy groceries, make trades, formulate skincare products, code and countless other instances.

When we understand editing, we hone part of our super power and access a strong energetic dormant potential. In this piece we will discuss how to optimize our editing approach, and why it is more challenging to change a habit that is 100 years old — versus 10 days new.

We are Seeking Balance

The main target of editing is to achieve utmost balance. If you do not know how to go about this, I recommend learning the necessary skills before executing a hard-core irreversible modification. Because, the more solidified an outcome is, the more energy the edit will require.

A great edit needs to answer 3 questions:

• Where do you perceive balance to be located? (This is subjective.)
• Why do you want to execute the edit? (This is also subjective.)
• How do you want to approach the modification?(What technique or thought process do you want to you use to bring about the change?)

If we alter too much, we manipulate the original away from its core essence — comparable to setting the contrast too intensely when editing photography or driving the compressor too hard when mixing music. On the other hand, if we edit too little, our time and efforts may not pay off at all. The reason for this is that the energetic difference is too insignificant to produce an actual change. Remember, we do not seek to generate a completely new equation; we merely want to update the frequency of the current render by generating the equation into its best version.

Why Editing Is Critical to the Generative Process

Editing is commonly used after the stages of idea conception and initial physical formation; when a certain level of energy is already up and running in the atoms and molecules that make up our generation.

The most efficient ways to make our modifications are is by actively edit as we go, little by little throughout the entire process — not by inserting one massive edit at the very end. We should only resort to these grand edits when we:

• Miscalculated an equation,
• Couldn’t stay on track throughout large parts of the process, or
• Did not comprehend the initial frequency of what we actually wanted to form.

The majority of our edits are very personal; a gut feeling of “just right.” At a certain level, our edits become acknowledged as masterful. This is when our outcomes are classified as well-executed by our culture.

Our entire reality runs on equations, therefor it is important to verify the accuracy of each one. If you succeed in confirming an equation, it is not only powerful for you — it is also culturally impactful for the larger whole. These kinds of authentications aides us to focus less on basic verifications, freeing up time to develop more complex renders. Here is a brief example: Using an electric stove can be more efficient than igniting a fire by hand every time we want to cook a meal. But we had to first verify the equation “make a fire” to be able to download the equation “cook food on a mechanical stove.”

How we approach our modifications directly impacts the success of our results. By honing more accurate editing skills, we can produce more elevated experiences. This is because our results and outcomes will then hold a higher vibrational capacity and more energy.

There Are at Least Two Stages when Forming

Let’s construct a metaphor for the forming process via a visualization exercise. In front of us, we have a 5” clay cube that we want to generate into a 1” high container with 4 sides.

The first round’s execution is usually a bit rough, raw, and clumsy. All that matters is to get the container into its kind-of form. In the second stage, we detail this rough sketch — itemize the object’s characteristics, functions, and qualities.

A master plans ahead and anticipates the overall process. They usually form this knowledge through generational experience. From stage one, they can already foresee the details and form them accordingly.

Flexibility becomes a crucial tool when working in this manner as we must approach the process of making as if it’s a dance we are a part of — rather than energetically filling our projects through sheer insecure force…
