Summary
Reconstitution is not something that occurs quickly. Once we get
past the reason why it doesn’t occur quickly, how long it will take
is open to question.
Why doesn’t reconstitution occur quickly
(Top)
Reconstitution of our
creative life energy will not occur quickly
for several reasons. The first is reconstitution is not something
that can be achieved by reading a book, attending a workshop or
talking or a coach, teacher, guru or some other type of master. The
second is there are no quick fixes when working in the physical
plane and the “fix” is about learning to work with, and in, process.
Intellectual knowing versus experiential knowing
(Top):
Reconstitution is
something that must be acted upon. We can get or be given an
understanding by a variety of means. However, we must act on what we
have come to know and understand. We are not going to enter any
program or read a book and reconstitute ourselves as we would walk
into a fast food restaurant and order a hamburger. As with fast
food, it may be prepared quickly but we still must act to go get it.
Any understanding has two parts -
a classroom portion and a
laboratory portion. The
classroom portion is the intellectual knowledge or the book portion.
The intellectual knowledge allows us to understand intellectually
what we experience. The experiential knowing, the laboratory, is
that we experience what we understand and we know what we know from
experience and from within our being as true. Both are needed to
claim any knowledge as our own.
Unless we can experience what we know and know what we experience,
you cannot really understand. To make any knowledge real, we need to
act on that knowledge and see exactly what it looks like manifested
in the environment in which we find ourselves such that we know it
and recognize it when we experience it. To make any experience
understood and to be able to consciously use any experience in our
life, we need to have some accurate context and experience that the
mind can use to explain what it experienced and used to create
future experience based on its understanding. We needs both portions
for any real understanding.
To read a book, attend a workshops even with exercises, and/or
talking to a teachers still requires us to act and make what we
learn our own. Making what we learn our own is not regurgitating
what we learned. We
need to do our own experiments and somehow
ground our intellectual understanding into a physical experience
and/or physical action. What we learn must go into us and become a
part of us and a part of our being. Additionally we must follow
through on the logic and implications of what we think and believe
to make what we learn our own. It is to
eat and digest what we learn
as any food we eat and then allow the food to become the fuel to
energize our actions.
If we do not allow this to happen, we live in contradiction and
separation within ourselves. For example, we say we love someone and
have their best interest at heart. Yet we cannot give them the space
to be true to their nature in the way they feel they need to be true
to their nature. Rather, we want them to act in a way we want them
to act. To make the intellectual statement that we have their best
interest at heart is an
ungrounded statement and a way of being
within ourselves that is contradictory for we do not give them what
they need. To live and embody this statement, one must find out what
is in the best interest of the person based on what their
creative life energy/creative spirit needs and want it desires to experience.
We then need to give them the space to experience it.
The quick fix mentality and habits from the past
(Top): When it comes to
reconstituting oneself, quick fixes are only an expectation and we
will always be disappointment. To reach a happy, satisfied and
joyful state is difficult for we must shed all of the old
programming as a snake would shed its skin. To maintain the state,
once reached, is even more challenging for
Physical Creation is
designed to work within a
creative process. The important point to
realize here is that we can have an experience but we will be unable
to maintain the experiences if we do not shed all that kept us form
initially having the experience. There are many mental and body
memories of the past that will continually haunt us if they are not
removed or changed.
The challenge to maintaining any joyous state or other desired state
is that most of our habits were created in the past outside what we
desire. Our habits tended to be 1) created without the joy we seek
and 2) are based on the world as we think it was, as opposed to the
way we are now attempting to recreate it. We need to realize
whenever we fall back into the comfort of the past, we fall into a
habit that does not have what we seek. Or we fall back into a world
that created the habit that cannot support what we seek. It is only
becoming mindful and aware in the moment and acting on what we know
in full alignment to what we know, otherwise the past takes over. It
takes time to faces these habits for many only rise in context and
will not be readily available to face.
Getting past the habits of the past
(Top)
Getting past the habits of the past can be fast or slow and can be
seen to lie on a spectrum between the extremes.
Slow process
(Top): The slow process is were we allow life itself to
surface the habits of the past. This slower process is much the way
a seed grows and pulls what it needs from the unseen world. The path
is
feminine in that we nurture our intention by continually moving
look for where in our life we have given away our
creative
ability and creative power. It is to look at which arises in life to see how
what we think and believes denies our creative responsibility. This
slower process aligns with the natural evolution of the
incarnated spirit. Here we
step out of mind
by consciously choosing to
surrender
and align with the flow of our
creative life energy either as a feeling or as perceive in our
creative desires.
Fast process
(Top): The fast process can be characterized as the use of
conscious methods to surface memories, patters or habits as to where
we have given away our creative ability or creative power. It is to
act and have conscious awareness of what is happening and the
awareness to chose to act on the information that comes in the
awareness. The us a
masculine approach where there is an active
thrusting in our nature and we are consciously acting to get what we
desire.
Addressing the open question of how long does it take
(Top)
One question that arises is if we create our experiences and the
reality of our experience by what we think and believe, why don’t we
manifest our thoughts and what we desire instantaneously.
The answer is simple. We live in a spectrum. At one extreme, we are
a
world unto ourselves and there are things our consciousness
controls that has nothing to do with the physical experience we have
or the physical plane. At the other extreme, there is
Physical Creation and there are things that are solely determined by the
physical experience and physical plane. In between there are a
infinite number of experiences that depend on how we think and how
the physical plane operates. Ultimately, each can control the other
for each is only a manifestation of the beliefs we hold for reality
molds itself based on what we believe. But we need to walk in
balance between being that creator and being the creation for the
purpose of having the experience we created. This last statement is
the key.
What determines the length of our journey ultimately is based on the
intention for our life and what experiences we desired to have in
incarnating. This fact in turn, gives rise to another spectrum of
options. At one extreme is how much access and align with the
intention for our life. Only in aligning with the intention for our
life will we obtain the optimum
creative
ability and creative power
that we currently have available to us. At the other extreme is now
much we resist and/or refuse to align with this intention for after
all, we do have a free will.
Background
(Top)
To understand the length of the journey of reconstitution and how to
shorten it, there are several concepts which need to be understood
that have an effect on the length of the journey. These are
addressed in the topic, “Time and the unfoldment of any physical
creation.”
Our problem
(Top)
Our problem is, because of how we have grow up in a physical body,
we have come to believe everything works the way the physical plane
works and everything needs time to manifest. What we fail to
understand is that
illness,
pain and other conditions of the body
where the body does not function normally opens the door for us to
understand we are not our bodies. We can learn to literally detach
ourselves from the body and what the body experiences. Yet, we don’t
leave the body till we die because we agreed to live the cycle of
birth and death as a human. So even if we have the experience and
internal knowing that we are not our body, we are still limited in
time for those things that govern the body and physical plane. That
is, of course, unless of course we decide not to play by the rule of
the physical plane. Some individuals have developed the mental focus
and/or habits to allow themselves to be in a physical body yet fully
manifest aspects of consciousness that allow transcendence of the
physical limitations they experience
However most of us believe we are our body because of the intensity
of the physical experience to dominate our thinking. We rarely go
inside and discover in our own unique way that we are not our body.
Hence for those things that should manifest instantaneously we
believe we have to evolve in time for that is the way physical
reality works. We are creatures of very deep habit and find it
extremely difficult to change what we believe once it sounds good
and appears to work. We believe in time for everything will have
takes time. Besides if we really do create our reality, we would
have to accept that we create what is, exactly as it is, and would
have no one to blame other than ourselves. It is much easier to
blame another for what we ourselves do. To the logical
mind it makes
no sense we are the creator of our experiences for too much
information seems to suggest otherwise. However, we do not see and
experience reality as it is. We see and experience reality colored
and filtered by the beliefs we hold.
So too the issue we face in reconstituting our
creative
ability and creative power. Either we believe we are our body and live according
to the
rules of the physical plane, or we believe we are a
consciousness inhabiting a physical body and we need to respond to
what is under our complete control and respect what is under control
of the physical plane. Remember, reality mold itself to what we
believe. We must first change our inner world and what and how we
believe. This inner world of what we believe and how we believe is
the world over which we have complete control.
We need to create in this inner world the world in which we wish to
live and become the embodiment of the beliefs to create this world.
Then we must hold with unwavering faith and trust that our external
world will mold itself in its way to meet our intention for the
environment in which we find ourselves. We only need to follow our
intuition to manifest this internal world externally and follows as
lead by our
intuitive guidance. Remember our intuitive guidance
flows from, and is in contact with, our
body wisdom and the source
of our life. Our body wisdom draws it wisdom form the flow of the
energy within our being that flows directly from the
Source of
Being and Creation Itself. Our intuitive guidance will tell us how to move in the
external world to position ourselves where we need to be to
experience what we desire as the external world shift to meet our
intention.
We are a being that stands between two world. There are things we
need to do internally and there are things that we need to do
externally to create the experiences we desire. Our
intuitive guidance will bridge those two worlds and give us the quickest way
possible to manifest what we desire in reality as it currently is.
If we don’t do the internal work, our external world will not
manifest. If we don;’t do what we need to do externally, our
internal world will not manifest. The two are one.
How long
(Top)
So how long will it take. Our internal world can change in the
twinkling of an eye. The only issue here is to have the necessary
mindfulness, awareness and strength of will not to get caught in our
habits and to transcend those habits of the past. This by the way is
the only transcendence that matters. Transcending our habits that
have been created by the experiences that we have had, most of which
are physical experiences believing that we are our body. Hence the
tradition desire to transcend the physical. The external will change
based on how much power and energy we can accumulate. The more we
become coherent in our beliefs and impeccable in our action
associated with those beliefs, the more power and energy we will
have at our disposal. It needs to be noted here that we are not
necessarily talking about our direct control over that power. Rather
we will have influence to direct the power that already exists.
Look at it way. As we become coherent in our beliefs and impeccable
in our actions, a telephone is installed on our desk. It leads to
the local power station and they will direct all the energy that
they have to what ever power grid that we choose. We do not control
the power. However, we can influence where it flows and we can cause
it to flow into the direction of our choice. So we cannot complain
about our personal discomforts when we tell the power grid to switch
the direction of current flow and the lights go out in our house. We
need to start listening to our
intuitive guidance to know where we
need to move to be a benefactor of our own creation.
The need to become the cause in a cause effect chain
(Top)
This brings up an interesting related phenomenon. There are no
accidents. If we look carefully and the evidence and accident
sequence, we will find there are no accidents,. There is only a lack
of awareness of the conditions that exist at hand that lead to
accidents.
The nature of reality that there is only a
cause and effect chain .
The experience we have is the current effect and is the cause of the
next effect. In any moment, we are free to choose how we response to
the effect we experience by how we focus our attention and
awareness. If we chose the way we chose in the past, we become a
repeat of the past - hence the proverbial wheel of
Karma. If however
we live in the moment and open to the moment with no bias of the
past, then we are completely free to choose whatever we wish and
created a new cause, a new evolution, a new unfoldment.
What is appropriate is that when we have a accident in our life we
have to see that we have directed the energy to shift in our life
and suddenly we find a part of our life has no power. Simply said,
we did not check with, and/or listen to, our
intuitive guidance to
see where we needed to move in our life to have all the power that
we needed based on the choices we have been making. If we shift our
energy without the appropriate changes, we will have accidents in
our life.
We are creatures of habit. We usually chose based on our past and
how we think the universe works. Until we make our
nonconscious
thinking patterns conscious we have no hope to change how we think.
We attempt to change our surface thinking but never look to see the
underlying patterns that are really supplying and distributing the
energy. The beauty of Western philosophy and science is
understanding the power of the
cause effect chain . The beauty of the
Eastern philosophy is the power of our own ability to create an
effect and change whatever effect we experience. So far the two
philosophies have not come together. The Eastern traditions are not
masculine enough to thrust outward and change the cause effect
chain. The Western traditions are not
feminine enough and nurture
what they have created to become happy with what is and understand
they are getting what they have created. The West is too busy
thrusting outward causing things to happen and not understanding
where the cause really originates - in our own thinking. It is only
in awareness, the non-judgmental awareness of what is as it is as a
detached witness, that we can see there are no accidents for we see
the cause effect chain that has been created to produce the
experience which causes an accident.
Our belief that we need to evolve and grow is only a
cause effect chain because we have the habit of comparing ourselves to some
external reference. Rather than accepting our uniqueness and realize
we are not like whatever we look to as an external comparison, we
think we have to become something different. There is time only
because we remember that we awoke and we continue to compare
ourselves to the moment we awake and the experiences we were having
in that moment.
Awakening to the moment
(Top)
If we consider our consciousness, the witness behind our eyes, as
capable of going to sleep when it becomes bored and there is little
diversion on which to focus, then we can see how we enter
cycles of
sleep and being awake. If it is further understood that whenever we
awaken, we define ourselves from that moment and we appear to evolve
from that moment, then we have the possibility of realizing there is
no time but the time we ourselves have created. Remember the infant
who is born. He or she defines itself from the moment it is born and
what it remembers from this life. We all struggle to accept there is
something beyond this life. Yet our consciousness that lies within
our being does the same thing. It awakens and evolves into complete
awareness and then becomes bored for there is no contrast. And guess
what - it goes back to sleep.
Summary
(Top)
The bottom line is reconstituting our creative power can be done
very quickly if we have the correct perspective and passion.
However, the nature of
Physical Creation is designed such that any
creation is experienced more as an unfoldment from a seed condition.
The approach is to create the correct seed conditions and the
conditions for the seed to fall on fertile soil within proper
conditions to readily germinate, take root and grow. As with modern
genetics, we can tailor the seed we plant to the conditions in which
we find ourselves or we can modify the environment to suit the seed.
What is best for us depends on the starting conditions in which we
find ourselves.
