Issues inherent in communicating
information
about our unlimited creativity and the Source of Creation
The
infinite nature of our unlimited creativity and the Source of
Creation
The uniqueness of our perception
In discussing and attempting to
described the depth and breadth of our
unlimited creativity
and/or the
Source of Creation
there are three issues have been observed. One centers on the
infinite nature of both our unlimited creativity and the Source of
Creation. In essence, words are being used to described something
that is infinite in finite terms. It is like trying to put
infinity into a box. As second involves the uniqueness of our
perception. These two issue are discussed below. The third issue
involves the nature of
mind and is discussed in the topic, “The
problem of mind and the experience of the Source of Creation - the
trap of mind.” The topic “How
to use any of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material,”
provides some thought for consideration on how use the
Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material given the above issues in communication
The infinite nature of our unlimited creativity and the Source
of Creation (Top)
Any discussion which tries to
communicate a description about the depth and breadth of our
unlimited creativity
and/or the
source/Source
that lies within our being and/or the
Source of Creation
is to use finite words and concepts to describe, explain or
otherwise try and communicate something that is infinite. The best
we can do is given a approximation.
For any experience we have, until mind obtains a sufficiently
minimum set of experiences (if it ever does) to describe what we
experience, the best mind can give is an approximation. To try and
adequately described something that is infinite, we need a very
large set of experience that can encompass the infinite of what we
are trying to describe. Or, analogies, metaphors and the like can be
used to describe something that is infinite. But they too will be
inaccurate in one way or another to one degree or another. But then
every now and then we run across something that is finite that has
an infinite aspect that can be understood such as the
propagation of energy in wave form. But, even these cases
the true nature of the infinite aspects of our
unlimited creativity
and the
source/Source of creation/Creation cannot be adequately
communicated. We can become very creative with what is communicate
but what the communication described will be inaccurate. What is
communicated will point to the correct direction but the description
will be inaccurate to one degree or another.
Our
unlimited creativity,
the
source of our being and the
Source of Creation
can only be experienced. But we cannot create an experience of any
of these through our
mind because our mind is finite. Mind by its very nature does
not have the depth and breadth to fully experience and/or comprehend
the infinite. To experience our unlimited creativity, the source of
our being and/or the Source of Creation we must
step out of mind.
The easiest way to step out of mind is to become lost in what we
feel and/or
lose ourselves in a state of creative play. We can create
conditions with our mind to increase the possibility of stumbling
into an experience of any of these three but cannot and will not be
able to create the experience or communicate what it does experience
if and when we do stumble into one of these three. It is why an
experience of any one of these three is so illusive.
The uniqueness of our
perception (Top)
Each of us are very unique. No two
individuals are the same. Who and what I am, is not who and what you
are. My experiences are not yours and yours are not mine. They may
be similar, but we each are unique and perceive differently. Our
experiences will be different even if we are at the same place at
the same time experiencing what we think is the same thing.
Similarly, what will work for me will not necessarily work for you.
But this difference in experience and perception goes even deeper
and influences each of us at a more fundamental level. The issue is
each word we use may or may not convey what we are trying to
communicate effectively and precisely simply because my
understanding and definition of the word may be slightly different
than yours - or greatly different as the case may be.
Each word, or sometimes a phrase, we use has at least four meanings.
One is a dictionary definition and it sometimes depends on which
dictionary we use. For example, the word “God.” or the phrase, “the
God of Abraham.”
A second is the colloquial use of the word and that of course can
vary from society to society. For example, it is probably obvious a
Christian has a different view of God than say does a Buddhist or
Taoist. However, does a Christian have the same understanding of the
God of Abraham as does a Moslem or Jew although they all pray to the
same God of Abraham?
The third is our personal use of the word colored or filtered by our
experiences. Is my understanding of God or the God of Abraham
correspond to yours even if we subscribe to the same spiritual
tradition and can be said to practice the same faith?
The fourth is our conscious and subconscious definitions of the
word. For example, what does God really mean to me or you both
consciously and subconsciously? Are we aware of the feelings we have
when we talk about God? Are we aware of how we will respond when our
concept of God requires action on our part?
If our concept and understanding of God are really precisely the
same, we should have the same response. After all, if I put my
finger and your finger on the same very hot stove, we both have
pretty much the same response but yet our experience of the pain
will be different. The issue is what are we are really communicating
by the words we use.
Some words cause feelings to arise in us that go well beyond what we
consciously understand about the word or how the world is used.
These four meanings may or may not align. Sometimes times they can
even oppose each other. What is important is realizing any one of
these four definitions will influence a conversation when a
particular word is used. So, the task is to create a common ground
between us. However, you or I do not know what the other knows
and/or understands about the words we use. To become a conscious
creator we need to become aware of the words we use and why. It is
to look to see if the words we use really convey what we desire to
say to ourselves and to another.
The beauty of a website technology and their hyperlinks is we can
individualize our approach to any information if that information is
presented in the correct format. It can provide a flexibility that
is not readily available in a book with footnotes or references.
Hyperlinks or words that we can click on” allows us to further
explore the concept or be informed of amplifying information not
previously available. But even this if often insufficient to
communicate what really needs to be said.
It needs to be noted there is one problem in using hyperlinks that
parallels what we face in any creative effort. It is the issue of
distraction. The hyperlink on which we click will go to a discussion
that will most probably have additional hyperlinks. Those new
hyperlinks will of course lead to other discussions that have
hyperlinks within them and the process will go on and on. In
following the hyperlinks, we may find ourselves quickly getting far
removed from the original discussion. But that is okay. We are
encouraged to do it our way and explore what we wish.
Exactly the same type of thing occurs when creating. The parallel
phenomenon occurs when we create something. We can become so
distracted that we fail to create what we desire. In creativity, we
set an intention to create and then we start out to create what we
intend. In the process, we become distracted because we need to face
and deal with one or more issues or obstacles that arise on our
creative path.
In dealing with the issue or obstacle we often lose focus. We
usually lose focus in one of two ways. One way is we become so
distract we forget what we set out to do or, because our path is
difficult. Or, maybe there is something we don’t like or even
frightening. We change our intention whether or not we realize we
change it. To avoid becoming lost, or we unknowingly change our
intention as we respond to events, we need to learn to allow our
intention to become a
single point focus. We need to look to see if the decision we
are about to make leads us towards what we desire, leads us away or
is simply neutral only postponing action.
