As discussed in the topics “Returning
to the Source” and “The
Creative/Creation process” all truly creative endeavors cause
one or more aspects of our being to return to the
Source of Creation.
This occurs whenever the existing form dissolves back into the
“stuff” of
creation/Creation
to form into the new for all creation/Creation rises from the same
material of creation/Creation. Additionally there is a flow of
creative life energy which sustains us that flows from the
Source of Creation. We can never be removed from that flow. We
experience it as our
creative spirit and the energy that animates our life. The more
we align with the flow of energy giving rise to our desired
creation, the more we move into, or toward, the Source. The more we
align with the desires of our creative spirit and
surrender
to the flow of energy within our being, the more we align with the
Source. We can use these fact to return to the Source through the
feminine
aspect of Creation.
On this point it is interesting to note that if we look, we will see
many spiritual traditions encourage their leaders, their teachers
and their disciples/followers to surrender to “God’s” will as
defined by the tradition and/or nurture and care for others. There
is a reason for this surrender and caring for others and it is based
on using the
feminine
aspect of Creation.
The issue
(Top)
There issue we face is how do we
access and release our inherent
unlimited creativity. If we are always connected to the
Source of Creation,
why can we not consciously access that connection and use the
creative power and creative
ability available to us
through the Source to create what we desire. The answer is we can,
and do, but not in the way our
minds think and perceive the situation.
The situation we face (Top)
The topics “The
Problem of Mind and the Experience of the Source of Creation - the
Trap of Mind,” and how the
individualized consciousness arises as presented in the “Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective,”
provides the basis as to why we will not have a conscious experience
of the
Source of Creation
while we are in the
ego identity of
mind and/or believing we can be in our individuated
consciousness. It is an
illusion of mind to believe we can see through the awareness of
All That Is with our individual consciousness. It is like trying to
put
infinity into a box. How and why our individuated consciousness
arose is discussed in the “Creation Story for the Creativity
Perspective.” It is our experience of our individual consciousness
that allows us to experience Creation as we do. To step out of our
individual consciousness into the Source in conscious awareness is a
different experience of Creation and will not allow us to experience
Creation as we know it in the form we currently experience it.
Although we cannot consciously experience the
Source of Creation
with our
individuated consciousness, we can know the experience of the
Source through feeling. What we feel is determined by how we focus
our
mind. There is no individuation of feeling as there is an
individuation of consciousness. There are different flows of energy
which we can feel and discern but we do not individualize feelings
or what we feel. The issue is we interpret what we feel as an
individualized consciousness differently than as the consciousness
awareness of the Source of Creation. That is the purpose of
individualized consciousness.
What needs to be understood, when and if we are in the conscious
awareness of the Source, we will feel what It feels. That includes
the profound loneliness,
love and desire to share as what caused and fueled Creation to
come into existence. It is these feeling that sustain Creation. It
is these feelings that fuel Consciousness to seek a playmate and
someone with whom to share Itself and Who and What It is. Although
we will be unable to use our
mind as we know it to characterize and understand what we
experience, we can feel that profound loneliness, love and desire to
share. In fact, the awareness of this feeling is often a residual
after experiencing the
Source of Creation.
What needs to be understood that what we feel is based on how we
have, or have not, focused our attention and awareness. When we are
out of mind,
we do not perceive the limits, boundaries and barriers of
mind. Rather, we become open to feeling any and all flows and
currents of energy. In feeling we are open to the infinity of
Creation. When we focus our attention and awareness into the flow
from the Source for any creation we can open ourselves and cause
ourselves to feel the deepest undercurrent of Creation. Namely, we
can feel the
Source of Creation
and the flow of energy which gives rise to Creation.
We may never be able to consciously communicate and/or express what
we feel, we nevertheless can feel the Source. We will know and be
aware of what we feel. Some can only perceive a profound wonderment
and “Ah.” Others experience and feel a profound sadness. Others
experience and feel the
pain of loneliness. Still others experience and feel a profound
love and desire to share. We may even find ourselves oscillating
in and out each of these feelings.
What these feelings represent is the flow of energy which caused
Creation to occur and continues to fuel Creation at its deepest
levels. The
story of the five men set out to explore the
mystical realm effectively addresses what happens when we have
an experience of the Source. One dies, one goes crazy, one becomes
an atheist, one a mystic and the other blinded to many aspects of
life. What exactly happens to us is unknown but we will not be the
same as a result of the experience.
What needs to be understood is that to feel and
surrender
to the flow of energy that fuels a creation is to be present to, and
in, the
feminine
aspect of creation. When we surrender and nurture a creation, we
move into, or align with, the feminine aspect of Creation.
When we are
out of mind,
we open ourselves up to experiencing the Source. Although we are in
contact with the
Source of Creation
all the time and can never be removed from it, our awareness as an
individuated consciousness keeps us from consciously
experiencing it by design. In may ways that is the whole purpose of
Creation. That is, to create a vehicle to step out of the awareness
that gives rise to Creation for the purpose of experiencing
Creation. However, we can and do stumble into an experience of the
Source of Creation in consciousness awareness. This phenomenon is
called the
Ultimate Accident. The question is, “When we do stumble into the
Source of Creation where is the focus of our attention and awareness
and is it directed in such a was we can being to understand what we
experienced.”
What is not realized by many is that we can increase the probably of
the
Ultimate Accident and a conscious experience of the
Source of Creation
occurring. We do so in two ways and can increase the probability
even greater when we combine the two ways together.
Using the feminine aspect of
Creation to access the Source (Top)
There are several things that can
be used to increase the probably of having the Ultimate Accident and
have an experience of the
Source of Creation
is conscious awareness.
We are always connected
(Top):
We are always connected to the
Source of Creation
and can never be removed from it. Our
mind simply stands in the way of seeing, feeling and
experiencing the Source for what it is. If we can
step out of mind
and yet retain conscious awareness, we have the possibility of
consciously experiencing our direct connection with the Source.
Experiencing the Source in this fashion is limited by us as a
creation. What needs to be understood here is we will experience the
Source but only experience the Source as it has been limited to
manifest us as a creation. To experience the Source in its fulness
we need to move beyond ourselves as a creation. We have to move past
ourselves and it is not as difficult as we would first suspect. To
being the process, we need to learn to become a detached witness.
Surrender to the flow
(Top):
The energy that flows to manifest and sustain any creation or
creative endeavor flows from the
Source of Creation.
By
surrendering
and aligning with the flow of energy manifest or sustaining a
creation we move into alignment with the Source. Here again, the
nature of mind does not allow us to consciously experience the
Source for what it is but we can consciously feel it. In aligning
with the feel of the flow, we align with the Source and the
creative power and creative
ability available within that unfolding creation. Again, our
experience of the Source will be limited by the creation which is
unfolding.
Become a nurturing
presence (Top):
To become the nurturing presence for a creation is to move directly
into the flow of energy from the Source and to become the source for
that manifesting creation. The only difference here between the
source and the Source is determined by the magnitude of the creative
endeavor and where we have focus our attention and awareness.
Transcending mind is a creative endeavor
(Top):
If our creative endeavor is determined by the
mind and the
ego, we will remain bound in the view of the source and never
access the depth and breadth of our
creative power and creative
ability available to us. The greater the creation to which we
can align, the greater the experience we can have of the Source. The
key here is to explore a creating a creation which transcends our
mind and
ego. Attempting to create what mind considers impossible or
highly improbably would be such an endeavor.
Pursue a “not doing”
practice (Top):
If we think we can experience the
Source of Creation
with our
mind as we know it and understand it, we will keep ourselves out
of the experience of the Source. We are an
infinite creative being. We need to have an infinite number of
experiences for mind to have a sufficient
minimum set of experience to fully and consciously understand
and consciously experience the infinity of the Source. Not
impossible, but it just takes a long time to gain that set of
infinite experience. It is the path on which we all travel for
Creation is about creating, forgetting, and remembering. The more we
can
step out of mind
as in a
not doing practice the more we move into creating that minimum
set of experience.
The
goal in using the feminine aspect of Creation
(Top)
The goal is to
step out of mind
and
surrender
to the flow of energy and to nurture a creation much bigger than our
mind can conceive. That is, the creation itself takes us past
the limits and barriers of our mind. In stepping out of mind and
surrendering to the flow and nurture the creation as required, we
allow the flow of energy to carry us into the Source.
But there two caveats here. One is that our experience of the Source
will always be limited to the experience of the Source as determined
by the flow of energy to which we align and that flow, in turn, is
determined by the creation that it is flowing to manifest. That is,
the creation limits the experience of the Source we can have. It is
imperative that we find a creative endeavor what will be of a large
enough magnitude to create a flow of energy sufficient to experience
the magnitude of the Source.
The second caveat is that if we do not come up with the idea of what
we desire to create ourselves but listen to another, we will be
surrendering to the
mind of another and we will not have ownership of what we
create. This, in turn, limits what we can give to the creative
endeavor. It keeps us bound in a way that does not allow us to be
fully open to the experience we have for there is a part of
ourselves will be protecting and unable to commit to the effort.
This “holding back’ is inherent in the way the
inner masculine
and
inner feminine
work. Having ownership of what we create is important to catalyze
and stimulate the
feminine
aspect of our being to create, in particular, our inner feminine
such that she nurtures her creation. We do this by choosing
something we consider impossible for us to do, not what another
thinks is impossible.
The
feminine
aspect of Creation is more than willing to give to her creation.
However, she can be very effectively harnessed to give her nurturing
energy to another. But in being harnessed, no matter how noble an
idea the creation may be, she will not give everything she has to
give unless she truly believes in what she in being asked to create.
To truly believe in something as discussed here goes beyond what our
mind believes. It is what is true to our
inner masculine
and our
inner feminine
and both our inner masculine and inner feminine are able to unfold
true to themselves and mature into that
mature inner masculine and
mature inner feminine. It is about being true to who and what we
are in every way.
The dilemma: But there is a dilemma here. How do we choose
what to create that which is true our
inner masculine
and
inner feminine
to sufficiently excite each of them to grow to maturity and yet
create something that is outside the limits and boundaries of our
mind. Most often we have not done the inner work to know what
would satisfy our inner masculine and inner feminine. But then, even
if we did do the work and did know, to know what satisfies them is
to be in mind. To create from that perspective is to create from
within the limits of mind and that, in turn, limits the experience
of the Source.
Being the cause: There is a second issue that goes with
creating something we choose to create. When we choose to make
something happen, we become the cause. To become the cause is to
become the source of whatever happens. However, here again, for us
to choose what we create, we are in
mind and we will be limited by the limits and barriers of our
mind as to what we experience in the Source. Yet although we are the
source of what we create, we cannot have a full experience of the
Source for what we choose limits the energy which flows. But we must
choose for in choosing we become the source of whatever it is we
create and literally stand at the doorway to the Source. All we need
to do is somehow get
out of mind
and will be in an experience of the Source although that experience
will be limited by the size of our creation.
The answer as to what to create: The answer as to what to
create yet satisfy the seeming dilemma is as follows. It is to know
there are no
mistakes in any creative endeavor. There may be what seems to be
false starts but we are only gaining the
minimum set of experiences to know exactly what to do. Although
we may not know at the start of our effort what the
inner masculine
and
inner feminine
will need to mature, we start with what we know. As we learn
what serves and doesn’t serve our inner masculine and inner
feminine, we iterate the process to move toward what does. When we
see the
offspring of what the
marriage of our inner masculine and inner feminine and what it
desires to create we can choose
As we see the truth within our own being, we need to ask, “What does
the world need to be and what do I wish to experience in the world
such that my inner truth is free to unfold true to itself in the
world and that I see and experience a world that provides an inner
satisfaction my inner truth?” We then need to ask our
intuitive guidance, “How do I create such a world, what do I
need to do?” Then act on the intuition guidance we get to create it.
We cannot look to any other to act for us. We need to act knowing
that we are the creator of the experiences we have and the reality
we experience. By choose to recreate the world based on our what
will allow the
truth of our being to be free to unfold true to
itself, we choose a task that is seemingly impossible. That is for
one single individual to recreate the world.
In doing this, we do several things. One is that honor our inner
truth and our own
inner masculine
and
inner feminine.
The second is we choose to create something that will honor our
inner feminine and create the space for her to give all she has and
something that the inner masculine can get excited about. The third
is that in choosing what to create, we become the creator, the
cause, the source of what is created. Fourth, in choosing to
recreate the world, we are choosing something that is will be beyond
the limits and barriers of our
mind. Fifth, in asking our
intuitive guidance what to do and
honoring the guidance we get, we
step out of mind,
we
surrender
to the flow of the energy we create, and we move to nurture the
creation. In doing so we step into the
feminine
aspect of creation and create the greatest probably of
experiencing the
Ultimate Accident.
If in addition we ask our
intuitive guidance, “How do I recreate this world in a gentle as
fashion as possible but as quickly as possible such that I can enjoy
the fruits of my labor?” It will show us the way if we are willing
to follow it even it appears and feels painful. If it is painful it
is only the
pain of birthing. If we explore
pain and the pain that arise, we can explore the
origins of that pain and make our journey less painful.
Why a mother nurturing her
child does not work (Top)
It is said when we move into the
feminine
aspect of Creation to nurture an offspring we can increase the
probably of the
Ultimate Accident. One question that arises is why do not more
mothers experience the Ultimate Accident when they nurse and care
for their child. The issue is they nursing their child and the fact
that the child is their child keeps them in the
individuated consciousness as to what their role is as a mother.
Similarly, for a woman to nurse and care for another’s child, she is
still identifies with the biological role of the mother as
determined by what it means to be human. The “trick” here is for the
female to nurse a creation that is not natural to her being or her
role. That carries her outside what it means to be human as a woman.
