The fifth step in the
creative/creation process is stated as: gestation/germination
[feminine - rainmaker - pulling from the unseen - filling the mold]
The Gestation/Germination Step of the
creative/creation process is where the
feminine aspect of being takes over the creative/creation
process. Gestation and germination is where the newly planted seed
becomes the creation. It is where the
feminine nurturing energy of creation nurtures the creation
within a safe and secure space. It is here where new life develops
and comes forth. The place of gestation and germination is a
warm fuzzy place that consciousness finds a life giving and life
supporting nurturing and sustaining energy.
When viewed from the perspective within the creation, the creation
is not yet manifested. It is still forming to come into the world
When viewed from the world of the creation, what occurs in the
gestation/germination step is unseen. It is like the fetus in the
womb or a seed that germinates but lies unseen undergrown before it
sprouts forth into the word. In the
making music analogy the place of gestation and germination is
the hammer moving to strike the string before the sound is made. All
that needs to happen is occurring. It is just that the creation is
not yet manifested.
This step is were the energy “solidifies” or “fixes” itself in
accordance with the blueprint we give it to manifests in the new
creation. It is here we actually
bind the energy to create an experience of creation/Creation.
Often there is some fear or apprehension in this step. We do all
that we can do. We plant our seed in the best environment possible.
Then we wait. We wait to see if our seed sprouts. It is hard not to
worry. We know some seeds do not germinate and we are not sure why.
We have done all that we know that we can do and we must wait. We
must trust and wait and see what comes forth. Yet, sometimes with
our doubt we go in and dig up our seed.
The issue we face here is that we think every seed we plant should
grow and unfold the way we think it should grow. There are three
issue here and we will have to figures out which is the real
influence.
One is that any true creation will not necessarily unfold the way
mind thinks it should. It cannot be over emphasized that mind
only knows the past and what it has experienced. A creation is
something not previously experienced or significantly different. As
such, mind cannot know what to expect. It may have some good ideas
and may be often correct. But it can’t know. We have to wait to see
what unfolds. In this case, our creation may be unfolding perfectly
well but we just do recognize it as doing so.
The second issue is that because it is a creation, we may have done
all that we think, believe and understood that we had been
intuitively lead to do. But that does not mean the environment is
correct. The seed may lie dormant until conditions are correct. Then
it will spring forth. Sometimes what springs forth in our life is
recognized as a seed we plant. At other times we have no remembrance
that we are in any way responsible for what grows.
The third issue is our seed may grow and unfold but the environment
cannot support its full manifestation. That is, our creation, for
whatever reason, does not receive all the nourishment it needs.
Although it grows it is somehow stunted. It is like planting a seed
too far North or South only to come to find the growing season is
too short for the seed to come to proper maturity or it is planted
too late in the season to mature.
The fourth issue is that we may have to also change our environment
for our creation to grow. In addition to growing our creation, we
may have to cause the environment to also change to support what we
desire to create. We assume the reality in which we live can support
what we desire. Often what we desire cannot be supported by the
existing reality and part of our creative effort is to change the
reality. It needs to be understood, we are a creation within a
creation. There are existing flows of energy determined by the
creation in which we participate. What we desire may require one of
those existing flows of energy to change direction.
In many ways, this fourth type of creation would be like going to
the moon. To go to the moon we must escape the pull of gravity.
Similarly, there are things we desire to create in which we must
escape the pull of the collective consciousness of humanity and
redefine what it means to be human. To figure out how to fly is one
thing. To figure out how to go to the moon deals with a different
set of similar but very different issues. Some of our creation
require us to change what it means to be human. In these cases the
creative challenge is much greater.
Since creation is to bring into existence something not previously
experienced or significantly different, it may take some time to
gain the
minimum set of requisite experience to fully understand what we
need to do to create what we desire. If we do not have the
experience to properly characterize the flow of energy giving rise
to what we desire, we will be unable to understand what we need to
do until we get that experience. For example, Leonardo Di Vinci had
wonderful ideas for flight. But at the time he lived, he did not
have the types and kinds of materials necessary to support flying.
The materials he had available could not support the stresses and
strains yet be light enough to fly.
When we have to change the environment to support our creation, we
many find we need to spend a lifetime creating something unrelated
to what we desire to create. Starting with the technology for
airplanes and desiring to go to the moon requires us to develop
rocket technology. Even before we can worry about leaving the
atmosphere of the earth, we have to figure out a way to get out of
the atmosphere and still have a propulsion system to get us to the
moon and back.
When our creation does not grow the way we think it should for
whatever reason does not necessarily mean we are wrong. It may mean
we did not have that
minimum set of experience to know exactly what to do. It may
take several attempts to get the minimum set of experience.
There is an anecdote that is applicable to what we face when we
plant a seed to see if it grows into our desired creation. There is
product on the market today called WD-40. Most of us use the product
as a lubricant or to free mechanically frozen or rusted parts. From
the author’s understanding, it was designed to displace water back
in the1950's for satellites. When satellites when into orbit, water
vapor in the atmosphere of the satellite could condense onto
moveable parts and freeze. So there was the needs for something to
displace water on the parts so the water would not adhere to the
surfaces and freeze. Hence the need for a water displacing substance
for the surface of the parts. The WD-40 stands for “Water
Displacement Formula #40.” Its name implies there were thirty-nine
other attempts at creating a water displacement formula. That does
not mean the other thirty-nine attempts were wrong. Rather, it took
the experience of those other thirty-nine attempts to understand
what needed to create something to displace water.
So to with many of our creation. It may take several plants and
iteration before we find what gives us our desired creation. The
issue is to not seem what we do that does not work as
mistakes but learning experiences. We need to go back and look
at the lessons learned in any experience we have to know what did,
and didn’t work, to create what we desired. It is only when we get
that
minimum set of requisite experience we will known what to do.
Until then we must rely on our
intuitive guidance.

from the unseen - filling the mold
Feminine (Top):
The
feminine aspect of creation is what nurtures and sustains a
creation. Once the seed is planted in a fertile space, the feminine
aspect of creation is the dominate aspect. The feminine must give to
the creation in the way needed by the creation. She cannot give what
she wants to give. She must give to what the creation needs. If the
feminine is not safe and secure to nourish the creation as the
creation needs, the creation will suffer. How much the creation
suffers depends on how and why the feminine is not free to nourish
the creation as required.
Rainmaker (Top):
The
rainmaker's role is relatively consistent whatever it is
required although the rainmaker is not always present in a creative
endeavor. When the
mature nurturing feminine creative energy is available, the
rainmaker is usually unnecessary. In many ways, the creation
rainmaker supplements and complements the feminine presence to bring
it up to a level of the mature nurturing feminine creative energy.
When they are present, they do two things. One is they help to
create the safe and secure space for the free flow of the creative
energy and for the individual’s
creative spirit to freely express itself in the way it
needs to be expressed. The other is they hold the individual
accountable to the intention they created. It is very easy to become
distracted in a creative effort and/or to try to escape the
anxiety of creation experienced during the transit through the
chaos of the
cauldron
of creation/Creation. The rainmaker help’s to keep the
individual focused especially if the individual faces a
dark night of the soul as the individual’s current world is
stripped away.
Pulling from the unseen
(Top):
The Gestation/Germination Step is probably the most mystical and
mysterious step in the
creative/creation process. Like a fertilized egg in the womb or
a seed germinating in the ground, in a seemingly unseen way, the
creation pulls to itself what it needs to grow. It is not that what
happens is really mysterious. Rather, if our
mind knew what needed to be done and how to do it, we could just
do it. Again, creation is about bringing into the world something
not previously seen and experience. As such there will always be a
part that seems to work in the unseen realms to manifest our
creation. If we study how our particular creation manifests and what
is needed, we could figure it out. But, more often than not, it is
just easier to plant our seed and get it to grow and leave the more
mystical unseen aspects to function as they do.
Filling the mold
(Top):
The Gestation/Germination step is where the energy flows into our
desired creation as directed. It is like picking a mold to make a
cast and then pouring the melted material into the mold for it to
solidify into our desired creation. We continue to pour
uninterrupted until the mold if full. The important point here is
that much of the creation process is automatic if we surrender to
the flow of energy giving rise to the creation. The question is,
“Can we surrender to the flow of energy for the duration of the
process or do we interject our
mind causing the flow of energy to shift.”
