After several years of
exploring organizational creativity,
creativity within his own life and creaetivity in the lives
of others, the author came to understand there was the possibility
of an alternative way to live life. It was a way that could
provide greater joy and satisfaction to people. It was way different
than the way most of us have been taught and have come to believe as
possible. The author decided to act on the possibility of such a way
existing and take a journey to see if such an alternative way to
live life could be found.
The
journey to find an alternative way was inspired by what he saw
and experienced in the workplace. The author was puzzled by the
number of unhappy and unfulfilled “successful” individuals he was
meeting in life. He felt there must be something more to life that
what was being taught. In looking, the author found such a way. This
alternative way to live life is based on two things.
One is the fact that there are
two ways to view Creation. If you synthesize and study the
information that is available about Creation and the
creative process of Creation, creativity, and the
role of consciousness in the creative process that we experience
every day as a human being, we will come to find there are two views
or perspectives from which to experience Creation. The two
perceptions from which to live life and view Creation are through
what one senses or feels,
symbolized by the heart, and what we think and believe,
symbolized by the
mind. In understanding these two views and how they function one
will discover that the human being is what can best be described as
an exquisite “creativity
machine.”
The human being is described as an exquisite “creativity
machine” because as we can come to see, the human cannot not
create. Our very existence causes us to create. Our life is a
creative endeavor. However, most are taught and conditioned to
live from the view of the
mind. Little or no consideration is given for what is symbolized
in the heart and how it influences our creativity. Even fewer are
taught how to live what is ssymbolized
by their heart and/or to walk in balance with it. So most of
what we do create is automatic and based on the programming of mind
at the
subconscious if not the unconscious level. It is much the way a
machine, once built and programmed, will continually run until it
exhausts it energy source, utilizes all its available input
materials, or breaks down in some way.
The second thing on which the alternative way is based is that to
create something that does not exist and we have not yet experienced
is to take us into the unknown. To enter the unknown of life is to
enter a place where
mind is of limited value in guiding us. Mind only know the past.
To follow the mind is to recreate the past rather than that which
new and original. Mind can provided evolutionary change but cannot
give those “quantum jumps” or breakthroughs so many seek to gain in
creativity. These “quantum jumps” come from
stepping out of mind into the unknown. To safely travel through
the unknown, an alternative way to navigate through life is needed
if we are going to create what we desire.
The alternative way to live life is to become aware there is
an awareness in, or behind what we feel. It is to dance between
the awareness available through the
mind and what we have experienced and the awareness available through what lies in feeling to
consciously create our life. It is to not recreate the past in a
new way as most of us do. Rather, it is to consciously
step out of mind
to bring into existence something not previously seen or experience
by ourselves or even another. It is to live a truly creative life. This is often easier said than done.
To do so we need to use the body, its awareness and its ability to
sense energy.
Most probably think they already are creating. There is a truth in
this. But most of what we create is done through the
nonconscious mind and not in conscious awareness. Rather what we
do consciously is recreate the past in a new way. Most of our true
creativity is occurring nonconsciously outside the awareness of our
conscious
mind through the
intention for our life. What is proposed here is to do what we
now do nonconsciously, in a conscious way without the overwhelming
interference of the past introduced by mind.
Exactly what this means, how to understand it, how to use it and its
implications are the topics addressed by the Releasing Your
Unlimited Creativity
material and it
applications. But the answer lies in
an awareness in what we feel and learning how to use the
awareness and the body as an energy detector to attune what we feel
to access the awareness.
In looking to live this alternative way and to use the
awareness in what we feel there is one note of caution. It is
addressed in the topic, “A
note of caution in using an alternative way and the awareness which
lies in feelings.”
