It is said in the topic, “Ebb
and flow of Creation - the basis creative process”: The most
basic creative/creation process is separation followed by
recombination back into a wholeness. There is a localization of
energy into what is perceived by consciousness as a form - a form as
small as a thought or feeling, as expansive as a universe. Then
there is the dissipate of that form back into a non localized
energy. The process is never ending and on going.
What needs to be understood here is the perspective we hold when
viewing the process either causes to see a linear or a cyclic
process and has a great influence on what we experience. For every
event we experience on each and every level of being, there is a
flow that can be characterized as in outward expansion and creation
and then an inward collapse and dissolution. The flow of energy will
be toward a turning point where the expansion ends and the collapse
beings. What matters here is there is a flow which provides one type
of creation experience as it flows toward a turning point at which
point the energy reverses and another type of creation is
experienced. .
Imagine standing at a point and seeing what we desire as apart from
us. It is something “out there” and we must reach for it. This gives
rise to the separation and the experience of separation. We move
toward what we seek to close the separation to bring us back into
non separation. When we reach what we seek we being the journey
back. The journey back is an experience of wholeness and
completeness. This creates an endless cycle of going out and coming
back. At any instant in time or in any one fraction of the total
expansion and collapse the flow may appear to be linear but it is
cyclic in its long term nature.
Probably the best example of this is our existence in our physical
bodies. We are born and appear to move linearly in time to our
death. However, there are many aspects to our body cells are always
dying and new one’s being generated such that sum total direction of
expansion or collapse to our experiences that provides us with what
seemingly linear flow which we can use to measure time. But there
are pieces within us expanding and collapsing all the time.
But our bodies are only one part of our being. We are beings of
infinite dimensions and these dimensions superimpose over each other
such that there will be a dominate experience. At this point in time
the physical experience dominates our perception. Yet, if you look
at an individual death in the context of a larger whole of life,
there is another generation that always arises out of the generation
that dies. In many ways similar to the way individual cells in our
body die but the body continues individual we too are like the cells
in the body. In any one moment people are being born and other dies
but the humanity continues.
If you are willing to entertain the possibility of our awareness
never dying, you can also see death as the beginning of a period
where you rest and prepare for your next incarnation. It is a time
of dissolving and digesting the life that you had lived before your
death. It is much like how music is made as discussed in the topic,
“Making
music analogy for the creative/creation process.” The time
between notes is the movement to create the next note. To see this
possibility it is necessary to become the
detached witness and view our life from outside of our
enculturated mind and
ego.
Now if we imagine our awareness standing between who and what we
think we are and what we seek, the movement of separating and coming
together occurs around us and we do not move. We care constantly
centered and reside in a calmness. Yet to experience this, we must
see ourselves separate from both who and what we think we are and
what we desire. One does not have to meditate to obtain calmness. We
only need to be in the center point of our creation.
This gives rise to the statement made in the topic, “Masculine aspect of the creative process”
where it is said, “...it must be remember that there is a balance
in Creation. Creation is an ebb and flow but it can be experienced
as an oscillation around a centeredness that can be experienced as a
calmness. To access one’s creative potential one must return to the
source/Source of their being, back to that place where all form is
annihilated and only unbounded free energy exists. It is the center
point in any creative oscillation. When view from the center point,
creation/Creation is a dance. It is a dance between the
masculine and the feminine.”
The key here is to realizes if we stand in the center point as the
detached witness, and just observe the outward expansion of
separation and the inward collapse of wholeness we achieve an inner
calmness that is not affected by the outside world. However, as
consciousness, we will have to embrace a desire to get the process
moving and surrender to the desire we create as that detached
witness. Similarly, we will have to embrace a desire to change what
we observe and again surrender to the change as that detached
witness. Otherwise we will never change the basic flow and
continually experience the same continued oscillation. It is here,
acting without awareness and without detachment that we create the
proverbial wheel of
Karma.
Only in the awareness of that detached witness do we break out of
the cycles of the past.
