According to Otto Scharner’s Theory U, crystallizing or condensing means staying connected to the source, the origin of the new, and slowly clarifying the vision and intention of moving forward. 

The image of the future is constantly evolving, changing and transforming. It is about allowing a vision and new thinking, ideas and concepts to emerge and grow: How do I want to shape the future? 

The crystallization phase is the beginning of the new, you cannot yet see the whole picture of what is to come, but you get more and more of an idea of it. You get to know the new as it emerges.
