Returning to the Source
Returning to the Source in our creative endeavors
Using the masculine to access the Source of Creation
Transforming the masculine aspect to access the Source of Creation

When contemplating any aspect of creation/Creation, it must be remember that there is a balance in Creation. There is an oscillation around a centeredness and calmness. All Creation is an ebb and flow. Each ebb and flow oscillates around a center point to maintain balance. However there are ebb and flows within ebb and flows and there are layers upon layers to all these oscillations. Creation is overall dance of oscillations within oscillations. It is much like the way music is created by a large orchestra. However, the source for any creation is the Source of Creation. All arises out of the same unformed aspect of creation/Creation. What determines whether we experience the source of our creation or the Source of Creation is the focus of our attention and awareness when we return to the source/Source and the intention we hold in our creative endeavors.

Any creative effort requires a return to the source/Source of creation/Creation to create that new and previously unseen, not previously experienced creation. Any creative endeavor requires some part of the existing form to be dissolved to be reformed into a new creation. This place of dissolution has been described as the Cauldron of Creation and often we experience the Chaos of Creation as the current form dissolves to be recast into the new. To return to the Source is to return to that pool of pure potentiality, that pool of infinite possibility where we can cause any “cutout” to come into existence. These are moment when all is possible without limitations of the past.

To access the depth of our creative potential we must return to the source/Source of our being. It is to go back to that place where all form is annihilated and only unbounded free energy exists. We are multidimensional beings. In actually we return to the source/Source at some level within our being whenever we create whether we realize it or not. It is the place from which all the energy for any creation flows. Normally we never notice it unless we are engaging in a creation that significantly changes our live at every level of our being.

In many ways creation/Creation is like how we walk. We go into and out of balance and never notice we do. Similarly, we go into and out of the source/Source of creation/Creation all the time and never notice we do it. Whenever we allow an aspect of ourselves to be annihilated within the masculine feminine merging process of creation we have an experience of the Source of Creation and the Source of Life. The question is whether or not we are consciously aware of that fact and use it to the maximum potential.

What is interesting is that we can use our creative endeavors to return to a conscious experience of the Source by shifting our consciousness through the intention we hold. To access the source is ultimately to use the feminine creative aspect to access the source/Source of creation/Creation through the flow of energy it creates. We can do this by creating conditions favorable for the Ultimate Accident. What we do will not necessarily create a conscious experience of the source/Source, but we will significantly increase the conditions for the Ultimate Accident occurring. It is the Ultimate Accident which allows for the experience of the source/Source.

To use the feminine to create conditions favorable for an experience of the source/Source of creation/Creation, there is an iterative dance we will need to learn to do between our inner masculine and inner feminine. How to begin to understand how to do this dance is discussed in the topics on the inner masculine, inner feminine and the marriage of the inner masculine and inner feminine. How to actually use the feminine aspect to return to the source/Source is discussed in the topic “Returning to the source/Source through the feminine.” Using the feminine to access the source/Source requires surrender and freely and readily stepping out of the control of mind. However for most of us need to transform the masculine aspect of our being before we can really surrender to the creative process.

Using the masculine to access the Source of Creation (Top)

One question that often arises is, “Why do we need to transform the masculine - why can’t we use the masculine aspect of creation/Creation to return to the source/Source?” That is, why can’t we use our mind and the masculine thrust which arises from mind to do what mind thinks to consciously experience the source/Source of creation/Creation. The answer is quite simply is that nature role of the masculine is to separate from the source/Source to create an experience of creation/Creation. Whatever we creation with mind is to move from the source/Source into creation.

The masculine thrusts into creation and is embodied in the mind. It is the masculine act to thrust out from the source/Source for the intended purpose of experiencing creation/Creation and allow consciousness to obtain what it desires. The masculine act is a pushing away from the source/Source of creation/Creation. The feminine act is the return flow of the energy separated from the source/Source back to the source/Source. By aligning with the flow of energy and aligning with the feminine to nurture it creation/Creation we can be carried back to the source/Source. This, in turn, increases the probability of experiencing the Ultimate Accident to consciously experience the source/Source.

This is why meditation and related practices like yoga don’t give most people the depth of the experience they desire. They are powerful techniques to create a variety of states of being. However, a conscious experience of the Source of Creation is not one of them. The intention we hold and the meditation type practice is a focus of our attention and awareness and will increase the probably of the Ultimate Accident. But it will not create a conscious experience of the source/Source of creation/Creation of itself.

This is simply because to mentally hold anything is a thrust out from the source/Source. What is created when an experience is had through meditation or yoga is mind's idea of what such an experience should be based on the experiences mind has had. But this is not exclusive to meditation or yoga. This is true for anything created by mind. Mind by its very nature is to thrust out from creation. Only when we are totally out of mind do we open ourselves to a conscious experience of the source/Source of Creation. Of course, what we remember about the conscious experience of the source/Source is discussed in the topic, “The Problem of Mind and the Experience of the Source of Creation - the Trap of Mind.”

Transforming the masculine aspect to access the Source of Creation (Top)

Transforming the masculine aspect to access the Source of Creation is to learn how to use the mind to create the experience of the Source. In essence it is to transform the mind and become the phoenix. It is in the process of creating the phoenix that we pass through the Source.

To access our creative potential we must return to the Source of our being, back to that place where all form is annihilated and only unbounded free energy exists. We can do this for any aspect of our being. We will need to do this for any aspect of being the wish to recreate. For the masculine, this requires that it must transforms itself into the feminine. That is, the masculine must become the reverse of what it is to annihilate itself.

This means the thoughts and beliefs we hold, that masculine thrust into the fabric of Creation, that caused the world to exist as we know it and experience it need to be either destroyed or somehow bypassed, or stepped beyond. The feminine aspect which is holding and sustaining the form created by the masculine, must be released to create an empty space for new understanding, a new set of thoughts to form.

In essence this is the inner dance between that inner masculine and inner feminine which bring both to maturity and a marriage of the mature inner masculine and mature inner feminine. The masculine must learn to relinquish control and surrender and hold the space and provide the nourishment for the feminine aspect of its being, its heart, or the energy aspect of our being. It is to create the safe and secure space to manifest the freedom of our being to flow into the form our creative spirit desires as reflected in our inner feminine and what the heart desires.

Here we have a choice. We can allow our intuitive guidance and body wisdom to surface and then hold what surfaces with our mind to form a new creation. This is the true surrender of the masculine to become the feminine. Or one can insert a new thought that we wish to manifest. In either case, we returns to the Source of Being, that place of unmanifested energy in that moment. The choice is to create with that energy or go to a deeper level of our being through our intuitive guidance and body wisdom.

This surrender of the masculine must occur at every level of our being. There are desires at each and every level of our being that can carry us back to the Source of our being. There are things and experiences we desire spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically that are needed to nourish and fulfill the needs of our creative spirit. These are not desires and wants of the mind. These desires and wants arise from the flow of energy that sustains us and what gives us life.

It needs to be remembered, each desire arises out of an ebb and flow and the flow is only a manifested thought. As we release these thoughts and surrender to those deep desires we reclaim more and more of the Source within our being. If we surrender to our intuitive guidance and body wisdom at each of those levels the feminine is allowed to surface. The feminine aspect of our being, the heart, the passion of the heart, and the flow of the energy itself, must exert control and lead the us. This flow of creative life energy which gives rise to our creative spirit speaks thorough the intuition and body wisdom.

This is a dance of the masculine and feminine that must become balanced around an internal centeredness if we are going to become the conscious creator of our experiences and their reality. In centering our selves stepping out of mind and following our intuitive guidance we balance the flow of energy within our being. If we enter a place of calmness such as using the pool meditation or similar technique and thrust a new thought for a new creation without first allowing our intuitive guidance to lead we binds our energy and slowly erodes our own creative powers. If the masculine aspect of our being reflected by our mind is unwilling to surrender and become the feminine by nurturing the inner feminine, the depth and breath of one’s creative powers will not be obtainable. It is only in a true balance of the masculine and feminine at each and every level of being do we access all that is possible.

Additionally, it needs to be clearly understood, this dance between the masculine and feminine aspects of being is independent of the sex of the individual. Here again the masculine is the thrusting portion of our being and we can have a masculine thrust at any level of our being. The masculine aspect that needs to surrender depends on what aspect of our being that needs to be transformed. It does not depend on whether that masculine aspect is in a male physical body or a female physical body.

From a creativity perspective even the sex organs of the body are neither male nor female. The male organ, as the female organ, can be used in a masculine way or a feminine way. This is an extremely important point. The body, as the sex organs, are tools for an experience. They of themselves are only cells and tissues arranged to perform a biological function no different that the brain, the eye or the ear. The masculinity and femininity arise in how they are used.

In terms of transformation, an aggressive masculine female will have to become a nurturing feminine female just as much as an aggressive male will need to do so. Similarly the male will need to learn to use his organs in a feminine way, that is to nourish another, and the female will need to learn to use here organs in a masculine way to thrust out to create what we desire. In the end, each will need to dance between both ways to preserve balance.

In this transformation, the masculine must lose its desire to thrust out into the world so that it can nurture and sustain the world as it is. This in itself becomes a problem. For when the masculine becomes content with what is, it loose much of its desire to create. The masculine is not emasculated. Rather there is a calmness and centeredness that is stronger than its desire. However, given a rise in dissatisfaction, it will create aggressively and passionately with full creative power. An emasculated masculine cannot and does not have the power to recreate itself when dissatisfied. It has give its power away. This in fact, is what many traditions, social, religious, or otherwise, do in that they emasculate the masculine aspects of our being.

There is a problem that the masculine aspect of being faces as a result of the interconnectedness of reality. The masculine aspect is about thrusting its desires into the Creation. This is about making thoughts manifest and changing the flow of Creation into some new from desired by the masculine. However, all the energy of Creation is either in form or flowing into an existing form as a result of all the other choices made by all the other masculine aspects of being. The problem for the masculine is that it is the part of Creation that causes the sacrifice to occur. The masculine is what disturbs creation/Creation. As a result, nobody really loves it for it represent change and a disruption of what is. Rather, beings seek a nurturing feminine presence.

The natural thrust of the masculine is to cause change. In this regard, the masculine aspects of being are not accepted for what they are and two things result. One is for a dominate masculine to arise and creatively emasculate the other surrounding males aspects even if they are one’s own offspring. Similarly, the feminine uses it powers to get the masculine to do what it wants so that its safety and security is ensured. Most, especially the feminine aspect of being since it give so much of herself in the creative effort, wants safety and security. She wants to live in that warm and fuzzy, safe comfortable space that we felt early in life cuddled close to our nurturing mother.

The masculine is wanted more for the security and safety they can provide or as a tool for entertainment, diversion, helping the mundane of life to go by. Rarely are they wanted for the changes they bring. This plays out in the human male and female dynamics in that even for the women who are aware, many cannot accept the men for who they are and let them be free to create in the way they need. Rather, they have to change them. But this drama is not about men or women. The external world is a reflection of our internal world.

We as humanity have learned to emasculate the inner masculine and do not accept it and the changes it brings in our life. Rather than follow the lead of our own being where our inner masculine would nurture our inner feminine to maturity, we have created a world where we follow the lead of those external to us no matter what they ask. We learn to follow the lead of the external world whether it be to deny one’s creativity and follow as told or to march off to war for some “higher” cause. Rather, we must first learn how to desire from the heart before we can appreciate the need to surrender to the desire of the heart within their own being.

Yet this dance between the masculine and feminine does not end. It will continue to occur and be required for as long as Creation exists. It is the dance between the masculine and feminine and the tension they create which fuels creation/Creation. There will always be a tension created by the masculine aspect of being and its desire.

What this dance looks like will depend on what we are trying to create and who, if anyone, we are trying to create and bring into our life. Of course, it is always easier to create alone. Yet we need others to reflect back who we are and to awake ourselves to aspects of our being we would otherwise not reveal. It needs to be remembered all of us are an individual unique facet of creation which arises as described in the Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective. The appearance of others in our life is only the awakening of that facet of our own being within ourselves reflected externally. If we allows ourselves to play in this dance between the masculine and the feminine within our own being, in the spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration of Creation and the creative/creation process, we open ourselves up to the Ultimate Accident. In doing so we can come to the understanding where we come to see Creation and reality for what they really are, Consciousness at Play with itself.
