Surrender in the
creative/creation process is about surrendering to the flow of
energy giving rise to a creation. There is only one way to surrender
to a flow of energy but it can be experienced two ways and there at
least five primary flows of energy to which one can surrender in any
one moment.

Surrender to a flow of energy is
about feeling and using our
internal compass and our
intuitive guidance. Each thought we have is the characterization
by our
mind based on its past experiences of a flow of energy which we
perceive. As such, each thought has a feel is we are open to what we
feel. Some thoughts have a greater or stronger feeling than others.
A strong feeling is not necessarily because there is a stronger
energy associated with the feelings. Rather, sometimes we are just
more open or sensitive to feeling that energy. At other times, some
thoughts seem to have no feelings at all. Nevertheless we are
sensing the energy giving rise to the thought so we are feeling the
energy within the thought whether we realize it or not.
The way we surrender to feelings is to first have a calibrated
internal compass. We can
calibrate our internal compass by the method proposed in the
Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material or simply be aware of
what feelings
serve us and those that don’t. All we really need to use our
internal compass is to know that we can feel different feelings and
have some clear idea of what those feelings mean such and we are
able to clearly discern one feeling from another.
Surrendering to a flow of energy is to set a
clear intention for what wish to do or create and hold that
intention as a
single point focus. That is, our intention becomes the primary
focus for our attention and awareness. In holding that intention we
become aware of any feelings associated with that intention and/or
what is we desire to feel such that we hold that intention. We then
allow those feelings and that intention to guide our life. It guides
our life two ways which give rise to two ways to pursue a creative
endeavor. One through feeling and the
feminine way to create. The other through our thinking and the
masculine way to create. Or there is a third way to create best
described as a dance and creating through surrender.
Creating through surrender
(Top)
Creating through surrender has a
thinking and feeling part.
Relative to what you feel, we
navigate from the heart and use that particular feeling as our
compass point. We then look at every decision we make and the
experience which arise in our life and look to see if they are
moving us toward or away from that feeling. We then choose to make
as many decisions as possible in the direction of that feeling. We
also look to move toward those experiences that move us into that
direction. Here we have to trust that even if we move into
experiences that are not something
mind likes that we are moving in the direction we need to
travel.
Relative to what we think, we ask our
intuitive guidance what we need to do to manifest the intention
we hold. Then
honor the intuitive guidance we get. Here we need to understand
that the intuitive guidance we get may not be the correct image but
the direction we need to travel is correct.
It needs to be remembered that
mind characterizes what it experiences by the past. We are
trying to create something we have not yet experience. Mind does not
have the necessary
minimum set of requisite experiences to guide us. How it
characterizes the energy it perceives as the correct direction may
be in error but the direction of travel it represents is correct and
we must move in that direction if we are going to create what we
desire.

Our
creative life energy goes where we focus our attention and
awareness. We have a
free will and we are free to focus our attention and awareness
wherever we choose. The question is what flow of energy best serves
what you desire to experience in life.
Key to surrendering is to know
exactly to what we need to surrender. It is not about doing what
mind thinks it needs to do or follow. Rather it is about
following a particular feeling that is unique to the creation we
desire to manifest. To do this we need to be able to discern what we
feel and learn to single out and align with, and follow, a unique
feeling competing with everything else we feel.
In any one moment, there are five primary flows of energy to which
you can surrender that are influencing our life. They are (1) the
intention for our life, (2) the
flow of Creation, (3) the
flow of society, (4) the flow our
enculturated mind, (5) the flow of the
desire of our mind. Of course there are other flows of energy
that are variations of these five or a subpart.
What does need to be noted here that slightly changing our focus of
attention and aware will align with a different flow of energy. For
example, in focusing on Creation, we need to focus on Creation
overall. If the focus on a forest of even a single tree as
representative of creation we will align with the flow of energy
giving rise to the forest or the single tree rather than Creation.
It is very important to become very mindful and aware of exactly
where, how and why we are focusing our attention and awareness.
Aligning with the
intention for our life is done through the feeling of the
fullness of being and/our fullness of life. The approach used to
calibrate our internal compass uses the intention for our life
as the calibration point.
Aligning with any other flow of energy is done exactly the same way.
We just adjust the focus of our attention and awareness.
To align with the
flow of Creation, we simply needs to focus our attention and
awareness on Creation. We then look to see what feeling it causes to
arise within our being and use that as our compass point.
Additionally we can ask our
mind, “What do I need to do to align with the flow of Creation?”
Then follow the
intuitive guidance we get.
To align with the
flow of society, we simply needs to focus our attention and
awareness on our society overall. We then look to see what feeling
it causes to arise within our being and use that as our compass
point. Additionally we can ask our mind, “What do I need to do to
align with the flow of my society?” Then follow the
intuitive guidance we get.
To align with the flow of our
enculturated mind, we simply needs to focus our attention and
awareness on what we think and believe about ourselves and our
world. We then look to see what feeling it causes to arise within
our being and use that as our compass point. Additionally we can ask
our mind, “What do I need to do to align with the flow of my
enculturated mind?” Then follow the
intuitive guidance we get.
To align with the flow of our the
desire of our mind, we simply needs to focus our attention and
awareness on what “I” wants. We then look to see what feeling it
causes to arise within our being and use that as our compass point.
Additionally we can ask our mind, “What do I need to do to align
with the flow for what I want?” Then follow the
intuitive guidance we get.
