channel

Founders have to be embraced and empowered within the organization, but their strengths have to be strategically channeled.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is
translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you
in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will
 never exist through any other medium and be lost.  The world will not
 have it.  It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how
 valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions.  It is your
 business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel
 open.... You have to keep open and aware directly to the urge that
 motivates you.  Keep the channel open.

 

Every creative genius has been a channel.  Every masterwork has been created through the channeling process.  Great works are not created by the personality alone.  They arise from a deep inspiration on the universal level, and are then expressed and brought into form through the individual personality.

There was an educational channel in the good old days; it was called 'off'.
