There is an aspect of the
creative/creation
process which starts in the
Conceptual Formation
Step and is essential to the process of helping to create a
single
point focus for the creative endeavor. It full impact and importance
is experienced as an after affect of the
Energy Generation Step and
the
Cauldron
of creation/Creation. This aspect has to deal with the
clarity of our intention and how effectively we can hold that
intention through the Energy Generation Step.
The important of
clear intention is best described through an
analogy. A magnetic is created from aligning a sufficient number of
atoms of an iron bar in the same direction such that the magnetic
fields generated by the electrons spinning around the nuclei all
align in the same direction. In aligning the atoms they build on
each other such that the bar exhibits a magnetic property. The
easiest and best way to align the atoms is when molten iron is
poured into a mold and placed in magnetic field. The magnetic field
will be an outside influence that will cause many of the atoms of
the molten iron to align with the magnetic field as the iron cools.
When the iron has sufficiently cooled and becomes rigid, the atoms
remain in that fixed pattern in which they orientated themselves
when placed in the magnetic field. Hence the iron become magnetized
and this magnetism come from inside the iron itself and is always
present. As a magnetized piece of iron, the iron act different than
regular iron because of the way it can pull and repel other pieces
of iron.
Now this is not the only way to create a magnet. A magnet can be
created as an electromagnetic by placing a strong circulating
current around a bar of iron. The current causes the atoms of the
iron bar to align in the same direction causing the iron to become
magnetized. But when the electric current is shut off, the bar loose
its magnetic abilities because the atoms in the bar are not
permanently aligned. The iron of an electromagnetic does not retain
its magnetic properties as does a natural magnet. Although there may
be some residual magnetism, it fades relatively quickly.
In many ways, we are like this bar of iron. We can align the
elements that lie within our being creating an internal harmony of
parts. When we do these, there is a “magnetism” that comes to us. It
allows us to pull to us what we need to create and manifest the
object of focus.
This harmony and alignment of parts can be achieved by an outside
influence, as in the electromagnetic discussed above. In such cases
the alignment comes from some organization or tradition in which we
believe and embrace. However, often the passion we access to create
is only temporarily and is not inherent to us. If we become
disillusioned with the organization or the tradition, we lose the
power we accessed thought it.
However we can create a harmony that allows us to access a
creative
passion through the use of a
clear intention during the
Cauldron
of creation/Creation and as we act to reform our life. The process
allows us to align the parts of ourselves to create anything that we
wish. We only need to set a very clear intention for what we wish to
create and allow ourselves to be cast into the furnace to be
remolded without an outside influence. In doing so, those sacrificed
parts solidify into a new form where the internal harmony can be
maintained. From that internal harmony, we can pull to ourselves all
that we need to create the new creation for we and the creation have
actually become one.
In essence we become a light unto ourselves. Like the sun, we supply
the energy for our creation from within ourselves and do not need
any external source to fuel our
creative
passion. We will still
utilize the outside world and we will access the energy available in
the outside world. But, the energy that fuels our creative powers is
independent of anything which happens externally to us.
To create this internal harmony with a
clear intention through the
Cauldron
of creation/Creation is create a
self initiated initiation.
In addition to our other creative activities we do as part of the
creative/creation
process, we create a
ritual, ceremony and/or
metatheater
which allows us to catalyze and energize ourselves to
manifest the intention we hold. In essence we initiation ourselves
into our own intention. We become the embodiment of the intention.
The intention is no longer something we hold in mind but our lives
becomes the intention.
Analogously what we create would be a “boot camp” much like that
used by the military. In a “boot camp” the individual is stripped
down and reprogrammed to a new way of being, the way of being
desired by the miliary organization. Here, in this initiation, we
strip ourselves down and reprogram ourselves into a new way of being
that will manifest the intention we desire. It is sufficiently
radical enough that we create a long term memory to know we have
been changed. Once you have been through a “boot camp” you know you
are no longer who you once were. So too the initiation you create
for yourself into your own intention. You know you are no longer who
you were but a new entity.
This concept of magnetization is the essence of how
clear intentionality works to align the individual to pull to them what
they desire to create and how we can recreate ourselves to release
our unlimited creativity. Most individuals do not become aware of
their ability to focus and align themselves to create an inner
harmony unless there is an outside influence that can best be
described as desperation. The desperation forces and alignment to
escape the desperation. Again, much like a drowning person
desperately grasping for air. However, once the desperation leaves,
or rather the conditions that caused desperation change, the
individual loses the magnetism that they possessed to created what
they desired. With the proper sacrifice and correct outside
influence during the sacrifice and remolding process in the
Energy Generation Step and the
Cauldron
of creation/Creation, we can
develop the ability to permanently retain the ability to
magnetically pull to ourselves the component parts of what ever it
is we desire to create. We then only need to be aware enough to
assemble the parts they have polled together.
This process of stepping into this unknown to be recast lead by an
internal passion that is not understood by our mind is the
traditional fools journey as described in the traditional tarot
deck. In this description, the fool is seen walking off a cliff
because the fool is so enamored by the vision they carry that the
fool is oblivious to the hazards and the dangers. Yet, seeming
miraculously, the fool is protect.
It is the fog of uncertainty that comes in chaos of creativity which
makes possible the fools journey. In many ways the fog of
uncertainty is the way the universe masks the depths of the cliffs
that you face and protects you. If you could see the magnitude of
the change that was facing you to manifest the creation you desire,
you would become terrified into non-action. However as you learn to
trust, you will find clarity increases and the fog lifts and the
chaos becomes less and less an issue. You being to see
creation/Creation for what it is. That is, simply as the furnace
into which you cast your existing creation so that it can dissolve
and you have the materials to form the new creation you desire. In
the clarity of experienced, you can see the path more clearly and
are not frightened by the depths of the cliffs you face for you know
you only need to put one foot in front of the other doing what needs
to be done in the moment.
This is also the same journey taken in conscious awareness when we
choose to become the
Phoenix experience. The Phoenix experience
provides the opportunity for us to completely recast our lives in
any pattern we wish. Of course, we may still seem like a fool but
there will be an awareness and accompanying
wonderment and “Ah” at
the universe.
What needs to be understood about
creation/Creation is the
Cauldron
of creation/Creation where all the existing form is dissolved to
from the new is chaotic. But this is not really true. It is only
experienced as chaotic. The liquid state, although chaotic compared
to the sold state, is not really chaotic. A liquid has a certain
organization to it. Only relative to the fixed form, the liquid
state is a chaotic state. Similarly what you will discover within
our own being is that the creative states of being what we feel is
chaotic at one level of understanding and our being may be
relatively organized at another level. The
creative/creation
process will
reveal these successive layers of organization within our being if
we focus our awareness and attention onto understanding them. In the
same way there are
layers within our subconscious, you will find layers within the creation
process paralleling the subconscious layers. It is the existence of
the organization within a seemingly chaotic process that leads us to
that
image of the onion where we continually peal the outer layer
that we are perceiving as chaotic to find a new deeper layer of
organization.
