Creativity perspective on free will
The depth and breadth
of your free will
There are several understandings
on the topic of free will that should be considered if you plan to
creatively exercise your free will whatever your creative endeavors
may be.
The creativity perspective of free will assumes you acknowledge you
have a free will and are willing to exercise it as necessary to
create. If you are not yet convinced you have a free will, you may
wish to visit the discussion on “What
do we mean by free will?” and consider what it has to say to
begin your exploration of free will.
Creativity perspective on free
will (Top)
The origins of free will as
understood and used in the
creativity perspective arise from the conditions and reasons
discussed in the
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective. The creativity
perspective of free will takes free will to
its full implication in two ways. One is that you, as is all of
use, are one of an infinite number of ways in which the
consciousness within the Creation Story for the Creativity
Perspective is choosing to experience its Creation. As such you are
one with this consciousness and are free at every level in
everything that you do - including the fact that you have freely
chosen to be her on earth in your particular body at this moment in
time. The second implication is that your free will and creative
power do not only go forward into to the future but they travel
backward in time. Or better said, they travel forward in time from
the past to create the present. That is, you free chose in some way,
at some level of your being, the experiences you are now having.
Within the creativity perspective and holding our creativity sacred,
we need to accept the fact that at some level of our being we freely
chose to create, or we freely agreed to participate in the reality
that we experience and the body that we inhibit. In many ways, for
some individuals, being here on earth is like having chosen to go to
the beach on a busy traffic day then getting stopped in traffic on
an interstate. Getting stopped with almost 100 degree heat, no air
conditioning, no idea when the road ahead will be clear and no way
of getting off the road. You do not like where you are and you
regret having made the decision to go to the beach. Nevertheless it
was your decision and you are stuck with the consequences. You have
no one to blame for being stuck for you chose to be there. So too
your current life. You choose to be here for one reason or another.
With free will, you are free to create any reality you wish. Or, you
are to remain asleep and unaware of your creative power and live
from the ingrained habits of the past thinking you have no control
over what you experience. What you, the individualized Consciousness
that inhibits your body has forgotten is that your awareness has
tremendous repercussions for the universe. Rather than
remembering, this fact, your believe the “little” you of your
ego that you think you are. It cannot fully understand this. If you
choose to awaken to knowing and fully experiencing who you really
are, that is that individualized Consciousness, you put the path of
the universe onto a path of awaking. If you choose to remain asleep
or where you are, you keep all of reality at that level. Hard to
believe, nevertheless true. Why? Simply because you are that
infinite creator.
Remember, it follows directly from the
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective that each of us
are
an infinite creative being. Our
creative spirit and our creative passion, that ability to
navigate through life by feeling, is
called forth by another. Each experience of life we have needs
another or others to have that experience. You cannot give and call
forth what you do not have. As you awaken to the truth of who you
are and the depth and breadth of your creative power and creativity
ability, you can call that forth in another. You can only awaken
another to the depth and breadth that you, yourself have gone. But
to awaken you have to choose to awaken. That is key. You have to
choose to
give yourself permission to awaken and then be willing to
explore what is required. In awakening, you now posses the ability
to call forth and awaken all to the level you have awakened.
To choose to realize that you are the All That Is at play with
Yourself is to awaken to the realization that the decisions and
choice that you make as the little you of ego has cosmic
implications. You cannot escape this fact of the universe if in fact
you are Consciousness at play with Yourself. You cannot claim your
Divinity without claiming the responsibility that goes with it.
However most individuals prefer to remain in a need not to know so
then they remain in a state of separation and are never faced with
the choice of awakening and taking the responsibility for the
Creation they have created. To be in separation is to keep the
little you of ego from realizing it is the Consciousness behind
Creation and accepting the fact that you are the tremendous Being
that simultaneously holds an infinite number of views of creation.
Each view of the All That Is that accepts Its responsibility for who
and what It is, helps to awaken Creation. Each view that refuses to
accept it responsibility keeps Creation asleep and unaware and in
the state of illusion. So there is a cosmic dance between the
different views of creation awakening and going to sleep and a
continual changing reality determined by what views are awake or
awakening and what view are sleeping and going to sleep. And this by
the way, is a never ending cycle so you need not worry about
everyone awakening or trying to awaken anyone else. You only need to
work on yourself. The awakening of others will track your awakening.
You can only create a space to awaken another individual to the
level of your own awakening. If you spend your time trying to awaken
another, you are not doing your own work. As you awaken yourself,
you will naturally create a space felt and experienced by others. So
work on yourself and let the other be free to be who they think they
are. They, in turn, will be pulled closer to you to awaken or pushed
away so they can remain asleep. Remember, they also have a free will
and they also must choose give themselves permission to awaken.
You only need to awaken to the fact that you are living the story of
Creation that you created and are responsible for the Creation you
are currently experiencing. Awaking to this fact is different
than accepting it intellectually. Somewhere you will need to
experience it personally for yourself and see how your
intentions and the intentions that you hold create the reality that
you are experiencing. When you have that experience you are then
free to move into the depth and breath of that understanding or go
back to sleep. However, there is no judgement on your actions. There
is no play if one not allowed to choose.
As you awaken to this responsibility you can then begin to work on
those aspects of your being that allows you to awaken to the next
level of your understanding. Your choice to continue to awaken as
opposed to going back to sleep is really determined by how bored,
frustrated, disappointed or unsatisfied you are with the current
habits and game that you are playing. If you wish to create a new
form of play, they you will choose to awaken and create a new
reality for yourself. If however you are satisfied with the past and
the habit that keep you in the past you will choose to go back to
sleep or remain sleeping at the level that you are.
These levels to which you awaken are not like steps that you climb
one step at a time but rather it is a smooth and continuous flow
such that you are either constantly awakening and expanding your
awareness and responsibility or you are going to sleep becoming less
and less responsible. Living within an every changing universe it is
very difficult to stay where you are for something new is always
being brought to you to awaken another aspect of being. You then
have the choice to awaken to that aspect or go to sleep in the
experience of that aspect. However, in either case, it is you who
are choosing the story you tell and there is no “gray” area. You are
awakening or going to sleep. And of course your free to do what you
wish. You do have a free will. You are free to choose however you
wish
The creative perspective as discussed here gives us the best of both
worlds. We know all depends on energy and energy is what animates
all the experiences we have. So why not surrender to the energy
within your being and see what it has to offer you. If you have a
free will, you can still exercise it from within the flow to create
what you desire. The only recommendation that is made is that you
surrender long enough to the flow to know what life is asking you to
do with your life. If you don’t have a free will, you avoid fighting
the inevitable and make your life
less painful. The creativity perspective gives you the
opportunity to dance between being the creator and exercising one’s
free will to choose what you experience and the being creation and
surrendering to the flow of the creation you created as you
created it. So become practical. Surrender to the flow of energy and
trust it is where you need to be lead. Then, once you know where it
leads, choose to create in awareness.
The depth
and breadth of your free will (Top)
Each point of awakening
consciousness has free will and it exists at every level of being.
Free will is exactly that. You are free to create any reality and
any experience you choose. There are no repercussion to your choice.
No judgements and no reprimands.
As an individual point of consciousness, we each are totally free to
create whatever we wish to create. There is no judgement in what you
choose or for choosing. The only judgement that exists what we
ourselves impose on ourselves. We only need to be willing to accept
the consequences of our creation. You only need realize that you
must live with the consequences of your actions. It must be
understood that if there were judgements, penalties or consequences
to any act, you would not be free to chose. Living with the
consequences of one’s actions is much different than suffering a
judgement or penalty. It needs to be remembered within the
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective, each of us are a
aspect of the same infinite consciousness experience its Creation.
You have the same freedom as it does. Ultimately, you are no
different from it.
We have freedom of choice at each and every level of our being and
we are free to choose whatever we wish to believe. We are
responsible for the choices we make and the implications of what we
believe. We only need to remember reality will mold itself to
whatever we believe within the environment we find ourselves. Having
incarnated as a human, we are free to create whatever we wish as
long as we experience it from within our human body for that is what
it means to have the
physical experience of being human.
To understand free will, there are two things one needs to
understand. One is that you are an infinite being with an unlimited
creativity to create any reality and experience that you choose.
Your destiny and
birthright as a human is to access and release this unlimited
creativity to create any physical experience you choose. The second
things is that you do have a destiny or rather what some call
destiny and that destiny is to give you the set of experiences you
need for you to be able recognize this ability within yourself and
claim your birthright. Unless you claim your birthright, you will
never consciously be able to exercise it. You will always feel
somehow you are being controlled or you are a victim in some way at
the mercy of powers outside your being. It needs to be clearly
understood that
as a human there will always be things that lie outside your
control only because you have agreed to play a role within the human
drama. That fact that you chose to limit your abilities in some way
while in a human body does not negate your unlimited creativity and
your ability to created any experience that you choose while
remaining in your human body.
