A note on meditation
In understanding energy we can
come to the realization that energy has both a seen and unsee
portion. It can be localized into a particle or it can remain in an
infinite wavelike state. The key understanding here is that it is
not one or the other but both. It takes on a form only by how we
choose to observe it.
Our consciousness can localized itself depending how we choose to
focus our attention and awareness. At this point in time, we have
focused much of it into having a physical experience as a human
being. Hence, we perceive the reality we experience as a human
being. We experience energy in the form of physical Creation and an
unseen portions. Alternatively said, we have chosen to observe and
experience energy from the perspective of a human being. As such it
appears that there is a physical Creation and an unseen realm or
realms.
In becoming aware that we can focus our consciousness we can direct
it into the localized form of energy that we experience as a human
being or we can focus into the infinite wavelike state and into any
part of aspect of Creation. In using this aspect, we are able to
pull from the unseen realms what we need to create our physical
experiences.
To use the unseen aspect of energy, in needs to be understood there
are two ways to create something in the physical world. The two ways
can best be described as a masculine and feminine way of creating.
Only one actively uses this unseen aspect way of creating.
Masculine way of creating (Top)
The first way to create is a very
masculine way. It is to thrust forward and go get and/or make happen
what we want by actively doing what mind thinks should be done. That
is, we go out and create the opportunities and experiences that we
desire. Since mind only knows the past, the masculine way of
creating works well for any creation that is only a variation of
something that exists.
The masculine way tends to be an
ego based way of manifesting where we go and take what we think
we need or to we “muscle” our intention into form. It is the
currently most common way of manifesting in the world. This is the
way we are normally taught to get what we want. The masculine way is
very much about taking the materials from the country side and
building what we desire. In doing so, we may, or may not, have an
awareness of what we are doing to our environment. The masculine way
of creating is the preferred method of mind for mind is always in
control of the creative process. Yet it isn’t really creating.
Rather it is repackaging the past in a new form.
Whenever we create in a way that we actively thrust forward we will
use the masculine way of creating. In doing so we will most probably
be in mind and the ego. This means we will do what we think is
necessary. There is nothing wrong with this. We just need to realize
there is an alternative way to create that may get what we want in a
more integrated and less invasive fashion.
Feminine
way of creating (Top)
The second way to create is more
feminine. The feminine way to create utilizes the unseen aspect of
energy. To create from, or with the
internal compass is the feminine way of creating. When one
awakens the heart to feelings and to feel what is
symbolized in the heart, they will find the feminine way of
creating will be utilize to a much greater degree if not become the
dominate way of creating.
The feminine way of creating is much like the way a seed pulls the
nutrients it needs to grow from the unseen ground below the surface
of the earth. The feminine way of creating is about planting a seed
in fertile ground and letting the natural growth process bring forth
the fruits of that seed according to its natural cycle and in its
own time. Here we allow what we seek to grow and be pulled to us.
When then need to act on the insights we have and the opportunities
that occur.
Or, The feminine way is one of impregnation of a seed when the womb
is fertile and to wait allowing the fertilize egg to grow into an
embryo and be birthed as a child. Then to nurse the child until it
is capable of sustaining itself in the world. The feminine way is
very much about growing and absorbing the nutrients from the
environment with the natural flow and process of the environment as
opposed to taking.
The feminine way is a much less ego based way of manifesting and
requires one to surrender to the creative process much the way a
mother surrenders to the embryo that grows within their womb. The
key to working with the universe in a feminine way is about learning
to pull into form the necessary items that are needed.
Exactly how and why the feminine approach works is beyond the scope
of this discussion but its essential elements are outlined here. In
many ways these essential element resemble a meditation process.
In this second method there are several discernable steps that must
be taken.
First we select the seed we wish to plant. This means we create a
clear intention and an understanding of what we desire to create .
This includes some understanding of what success looks like or what
we think success will look like. The success criteria should not be
an expectation (my creation must look like....). Rather, they should
be the attributes the creations should have (my creation should have
the following type of characteristics....).
Second, we need to create a fertile field or a womb in which to
plant the seed by preparing the space within our own being. Our mind
and what we think and believe is much like a farmer’s field or an
undeveloped piece of forest. It is currently occupied by many
different types and kinds of existing plants. The plants are usually
native to the environment and hardy. Usually they completely occupy
all the growing space. We usually need to go in and clean out or
clean up both our thinking and what we believe to make space
available for our creation to grow. We cannot hold beliefs that will
interfere with want we desire to create. They will simply act as
obstacles retarding, stunting, or even destroying the growth.
Slowing down our thinking by observing the space between our
thoughts in meditation is one of the classic ways of cleaning out
our thinking. However, what really needs to occur is to clean out
and/or rearrange our belief system to allow room for our creation.
Third, we must plant the selected seed in the fertile space. We must
hold the thought and then choose to act. Unless we knowing and
willing insert the seed and nourish the seed it will not grow and we
will not get conscious control over what we experience.
Fourth, we must nurture the seed as it grows by giving what it needs
and not what we think it needs. There are two aspects to this fourth
step. The first is that we need to hold single point focus for what
we wish to create. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted from
what we desire and allow doubt in any form to stifle our creation.
The second aspect is that we need to give to the seed what it
requires. We cannot know before hand exactly how our creation will
unfold and what it will need to grow and sustain itself. We will
have to allow your
intuitive guidance to lead our actions and allow the energy of
the creative process itself to bring to us the opportunities to get
what we need.
It is to be noted here opportunities are include both the thoughts
we get as to how to create what we desire and external opportunities
that may appear. Was is said here does not mean you will do nothing.
Rather we will need to act on the intuitive insights we get.
The fifth aspect is the less obvious step. We will have to rearrange
our external world to accompany the grown and unfoldment of the seed
we plant. That is, our life will have to change in some way in
response to our creative endeavor. If we don’t start making the
external changes that will be required for the unfoldment of our
intention, we will not be able to sustain our create in the external
world.
Here again, the changes that must be made will most often not be
know before hand by mind. We will be lead to the changes that we
need to make as if seemingly guided by some unseen force or
intelligence. Yet it is simply the natural unfoldment of the
creative process that we ourselves have started. The question is
whether or not we can step out of mind and surrender to allow
ourselves to be lead by our own creative efforts.
Most do not relinquish total control but try to continue to make
things happen the way they want things to happen. Here again the
recommendation to hold your expectations loosely. That is, know what
success looks like but don’t make it an expectation with specifics.
Rather hold it loosely as characteristics. The “Pool
of creation/Creation insertion exercise” and the exercise
described in “Exploring
the power of clear intention” are samples of the feminine way of
manifesting. They are something you can use to get you started in
this methodology.
Masculine and feminine
marketing (Top)
In working with your unique nature
and the gifts you bring into the world there is actually a masculine
and feminine way of marketing. The masculine approach would be that
we go out and actively market ourselves and our talents. We thrust
out into the world telling everyone what we have to offer. The
feminine way would be to allow our intuition to lead us to someone
with whom we share our talents. They, in turn, bring others to us
because of what we did for them and what we have to offer. Here we
do not seek but give as lead. The fruits of our giving is what draws
to us to those who need to eat our fruits to become nourished in
their lives.
A note on
meditation (Top)
Since meditation is such a
powerful creative tool it is appropriate to briefly discuss its use.
Medication can be used in a masculine or feminine way. It is to be
noted that most meditation practices are actually a very masculine
way of acting. Meditation is a masculine way of being if we do what
we think needs to be done. It is to use the meditation to deny
rather than accept and work with the physical aspect of our being
and/or the external world. To take oneself into isolation from your
world or deny our own physical being to create a particular state of
being within ourselves is a masculine creative effort.
Rather than learning to be with what is, as it is, we create an
isolated world much like a green house. In doing so, we create an
issue for ourselves. The issue we face in this technique is to bring
back what we find in to the world and/or make it available to the
world. To do so, what we find must be brought back in a way that it
can be sustained in the world and not some artificial environment.
Few are capable of using a masculine way of creating for inner work
and then bringing back what one has found into the world to make
lasting changes within themselves or the world they inhabit. It is
much like growing a flower in a greenhouse because the climate is
unsuitable for the flower. Then we bring the plant out into an
unsuitable environment expecting it to flourish when in fact the
environment is not suitable for the plant we wish to have.
Otherwise, we would not have needed the greenhouse to grow the
plant.
The feminine way of using meditation is to become mindful and aware
of two things. One is the thoughts we have and the second it our
internal compass. It is then to select and act on the thoughts that
lead us in the direction of how we have set our internal compass.
