As stated in the topic, “The guided path to releasing our unlimited creativity,” “First and foremost it needs to be understood that the correct and true guided path to releasing the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity and accessing our creative ability and creative power is to use our intuitive guidance, body wisdom, and our own creativity” This fact cannot be understated.

For whatever approach we decide to use in our journey of exploration, it is recommended:

Separate from any path that is chosen by our mind and parallel to those efforts, consideration should be given to exploring and developing our intuitive guidance, body wisdom and our creativity. There will become a point in time that we need to leave any and all guidance that can be provided by others and strike out in our own truth. When we do this, our intuitive guidance, body wisdom and our creativity will be our greatest assets when we move in our own truth.

Four primary paths (Top)

Here we are faced with a branch point depending on our preference. Four primary paths can be taken to begin the journey to access and release our unlimited creativity are introduced here. All have worked. More often than not an individual will use all four in combination emphasizing one at any given time. In addition to these four, there are other alternatives some of which are presented below. The truth of the matter is, there are as many paths as individuals for ultimately, each of our paths is an individual path. Any path that is followed is only a starting point for ultimately our path becomes very unique.

The four paths initially appear separate but in actuality, they are variations of the same process. Each ultimately covers the same material in a different way because each originates from a slightly different focus. Some find one approach more to their liking that the others and we should choose the path that feels most fulfilling. Two paths are more mental and arise from focus of the mind and two are based on what is symbolized in our heart and arise from what our creative spirit desires to create. The two mental paths are “Becoming our truth,” and “Choosing to become the creator.” The two paths of the creative spirit are “Utilizing our creativity and creative passion” and “Surrendering to the flow of our creative life energy

It needs to be realized, because energy and consciousness are in essence one and the same, the truth of our being, and who and what we are, can be expressed as creative spirit and a passion to create (our creative passion) or it can be felt as the flow of our creative life energy guiding us through life through a deep inner feeling of satisfaction. How we choose to experience our truth and express it, is our choice. A path for its expression inherent within our being was laid out in the intention for our life. Both our creativity or the fulness of being will carry us to the experiences to fulfill the intention for our life.

Becoming our truth - choosing to become the Phoenix
(Top): One approach laid out is to become the truth of our being. It can be called the path of the mind for it very depending on what we think and believe. It is very dependent on what we think and believe. This approach starts with the end in mind. It starts with either knowing we are both the creator and the creation or at least subscribing to that belief and working toward making it an experiential truth.

It is to undertake a journey of discovery and exploration as to what keeps us from living and freeing expressing the truth of our being and how we have created the experiences we have, and, in many cases, why. To undertake this journey, we need to either accept the premise as to our true of our being, (“Keeping the end in mind”) or at least, entertain the possibility of having such a truth and explore to see if it is, in fact, true.

The mistake most often made in becoming our truth is that our mind steps in with its understanding. It makes a determination as to what it thinks our truth is based only and solely on the experiences it has had. It then believes the determination it makes and we never get to experience the truth depth and breadth of our truth. (More on .... becoming our truth)

Utilize our creativity and our creative passion
(Top): A second approach is to use our creative spirit to access and utilize our creativity and our passion to create. It can be called the path of creative childlike play.

Whether we realize it or not, we all carry a desire to create. We each have within us a creative spirit which desires to creatively express itself in some way and it will do so consciously or nonconsciously. When we pursue and follow the unique expression of our creativity, that is, that which draws us to uniquely create, it can lead us to fulfill the intention for our life. In aligning with, and fulfilling the intention for our life, we are aligning with the truth of our being. In the awareness of our truth we can being to experience the depth and breadth of creativity that is available to us.

The mistake most often made in utilizing our creativity and our creative passion is that we find some type and kind of creative endeavors that seems satisfying or fulling, and out of which, we can create a career. We then think that the career we have is the complete expression of our creative passion or it is the way we need to express our creative passion. However, there is nothing father from the truth. (More on ....Utilizing our creativity and our creative passion)

Surrendering to the flow of our creative life energy
(Top): The third approach is to surrender to the flow of our creative life energy giving rise to our life. It can be called the path of the muse, the path of the beloved or the path of surrender.

It is to allow the feeling of the fulness of being, of what gives us life or calls us into life to guide us to the experiences we desire to have. In this path we look to see what gives us fulfillment in life, and with life, and look to do those things in our life. When we find something no longer fulfilling, we simply move to something that give us as strong a feeling of fulness of being and/or as stronger an inner satisfaction as we can.

The mistake most often made in utilizing the path of surrender is there is more than one energy we can simultaneously feel within our being. Depending on how and what mind thinks as believes it can causes us to align with an energy other than the flow of energy giving rise to our life. Surrendering to the flow of our creative life energy offers the possibility of being the most pleasant path yet it is the most difficult to achieve. (More on .... surrendering to the flow of our creative life energy.)

Choosing to become the creator
(Top): Choosing to become the creator is to take the understand that we are creators of our experiences and the reality we experience and act on that truth. It is to consciously use and to consciously act on what has been learned about our creativity, the creative/creation process, and our creative ability and creative power. It is to use them to set an intention that severs someone or something outside of, and much greater than, the ego and is seemingly impossible to mind to create. Alternatively said, it is to attempt to create the impossible for the benefit of another or others.

In choosing to become the creator, there is the need to die to ourselves in our own unique way. We need to be held accountable to what needs to die within us. If what needs to die does not die, we cannot create what is desired The key to this path is to surrender to our own body wisdom and intuitive guidance which is in direct contact what the Source of Being. It is to follow the lead of our own intuitive guidance and body wisdom for the intention we set and being out of mind sufficiently to trust and literally act on whatever our intuitive guidance presents.

The mistakes most often made in choosing to become the creator is that what we choose to create is not really outside our ego and/or for others, or, we do not allow to die what needs to die. (More on .....choosing to become the creator)

Alternative paths (Top)

In addition the four paths there are a variety of ways to explore the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity. In fact, our current experience of Creation is one such way. It is to live lifetime after lifetime seeing what we can create. If and when we explore the depth of our being, access the experience we have, and look behind the experiences by defocusing our mind as we would our eyes in the two finger exercise, we can begin to see the pieces for a picture as to who and what we really are. However, our currently life as any one lifetime, may not be the most enjoyable or easiest way to explore our unlimited creativity. Additional to explore our unlimited creativity one life at a time, it will take quite some time. In fact , it will take an infinite amount of time to explore all the options that we can create. That is unless we figure out how to explore more than one life time simultaneously.

All the approaches recommended in the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material ultimate direct the individual to their intuitive guidance to be their own guide. No one can explore our inner world and inner creative power and ability other than ourselves. Ultimately we each need to learn to be our own guide. Although what is provided here will help the individual to do this, many do not have the confidence and trust to allow their intuitive guidance to lead them. Some rarely use their intuitive guidance so they will feel incapable of allowing it to lead. If you find yourself in this situation, the Fifteen Creative Steps/Guidelines were created to help you.

To use the Fifteen Creative Steps/Guidelines all you need to do is have one other individual who will hold you accountable to what you desire to create and to help you to work thought each of the Fifteen Creative Steps/Guidelines. Then, as you gain confidence in your own creative power and creative ability, you can then step out and follow your own internal guidance wherever and whatever it leads you to do.

The Creation Building Blocks can also be used to explore our creativity. The Building Block Approach provides a way of using the individual building blocks to study and explore creativity. Each building block addresses an aspect of creativity that is applicable for us to consciously create our experiences and the reality of those experiences. The approach provides vehicle to explore the depth and breadth of our creativity in a playful way and that can be used to being a dialog with the unseen aspects of Creation.

Our actually journey (Top)

The path we actually use can be any one of those described or a combination of them. Or, it can be something completely different arising from the combination of our own creative spirit and our enculturation. However, whatever path we take it will ultimately become unique to each of us. But it will contain elements of the paths described.. So there are advantages to at least become aware of what these various paths provide.

Additionally, for whatever path we take, we need to realize we each are in infinitely creative being who has fragmented and shattered our creative power by the experiences we have had. To regain our wholeness of being and access our true creative power, some where, at some time each will have to find a safe and secure space with someone we feel we can trust to share the depth and breath of our secrets and events. We need to share those secrets and events that have shatter and fragmented our creative power at each and every level of our being. This will ultimately need to be done for whatever method we choose to access our unlimited creativity.

Exactly how we go about doing this is our choice and there are many ways it can be done. One way to go about reviewing our life to access the depth and breadth of our creativity based on the what has been learned in the exploration of creativity which gave rise to the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity Understanding is found in the topic, “Solving the puzzle of our life

Whatever approach we elect to take, it is recommended we being to record the key events of our life and any associated details as we remember them. This information will be invaluable as we explore the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity.

The recommendation (Top)

The recommended approach to accessing and releasing our unlimited creativity is as follows.

We need to allow effectiveness to be our measure of truth and use what is effective in allowing us to create what we desire. Although this discussion is about accessing the depth and breadth of our creativity, the recommended goal is not so much to access the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity but rather, to create a life worth living and life experiences which serve us. In creating a life worth living and life experiences which serve us, we will quite naturally explore our unlimited creativity for we will be challenging ourselves to reveal and live our truth.

Consideration in living our truth when we find it (Top)

In taking a journey to release the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity and accessing our creative ability and creative power we ultimately need to access and become our truth and allow our truth and our creativity to freely unfold in the world. When we do find our truth and attempt to live it in a world that was not created around our truth, the question is how do we live that truth? Is there a best or easiest way?

There is an old proverb, “An individual learns from their mistakes, a wise individual learns from the mistakes of others and a fool never learns.” To live our truth in a world that is not created around our truth we should learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before and from the individuals most capable of learning to live their truth in the world.

The group of individuals who fit both of these descriptions are the very young child who come into the world fully capable of express their truth in an unfetter, free fashion. They are those very young children who are capable of spontaneous, innocent child like play of discovery and exploration of themselves and their world. They too are the group of individual how suffered the mistakes that cause them to lose their ability to be in that most creative state of being and expression of their truth. Their journey into the exploration of the new world in which they are born is the same journey we are going to take. We each need to be reborn into the truth of our own being and explore and discover exactly who we really are and find a way to freely express it in the world.

Somewhere in our journey of exploring the depth and breadth of our unlimited creativity, accessing and living our truth, or reconstituting our creative ability and creative power, we will have to face many of the conditions that causes us to first lose our ability to be the most creative state of being similar to that spontaneous and innocent childlike play. The issue with which we are ultimately faced is either facing the reason why we lost the ability to be in state of spontaneous and innocent childlike play one issue at a time as we encounter it in our journey, or simply embark on a journey to regain that ability and then pursue whatever creative endeavor we wish. The topics, “Why the recommendation to restore our ability for spontaneous innocent childlike play first” provides some thoughts on this issue.

In starting whatever journey of exploration we take, some consider should be given to look at the reasons we lost our ability to be in creative play and do the work necessary to regain that ability. That in turn will make all that we do must easier, more playful and more joyful. The topic, “A practical method of returning to creative play” provides some thoughts on getting started on such a journey.
