The following four topics provide
some background as to the approach taken in providing the origins of
the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material. They contain ideas
that will probably be useful in your attempt to characterize the
story you tell about your life and the associated creative
endeavors. If you are not interested in the background on the

The
challenge in presenting the origins
(Top)
It has been difficult to address
the true origins of this material for three reasons.
The first and primary reason is that the journey into creativity is
not what the author thought it was. What started out to be a journey
into creativity to enhance the workplace turned into an inner
journey of unforseen proportions. It turned his life upside down and
caused him to reframe his whole understanding as to how he thought
the world worked. It many ways it is
too much to be believed. So how does one present the origins of
something that is too much to be believe and its implications.
The second was that the author was never prepared to tell the story
of the journey when he stated it. So, he has had to go back and
figure out what pieces of the journey provide the information that
leads to the understanding as reflected in any one application. In
this regard, in the same way the material on anyone application web
site is ultimately interlinked to the others, his life experiences
giving rise to the origins of the material is also interlinked. The
question became was how to tell the origins of any one application,
which is an independent creation within itself, without
unnecessarily repeating overlapping information and sharing the
relevant details of his life that give rise to the origins without
becoming self serving.
The third reason is the origins of this material did not arise in
the events of his life as we normally tell
our story or provide in resume type information. The origins
were not simply a result of an experience or even a set of
experiences. Rather they were the synthesis of the information
within the experiences. For example, he cannot say that he learned
organizational creativity from going to management school, being
trained as a manager or being a manager. Rather the seed for
organizational creativity was laid in two totally unrelated key
events in college that created a perspective from which he used to
manage others throughout his life. Organizational Creativity then
evolved based on those management and organizational experiences
generated from the lessons learned in those two events.
The life experiences which are shared are provided to help show how
we create our experiences from a depth within our being that our
conscious mind does not normally access. Used in this manner, they
provide information as to how you might expect events to unfold in
your life and/or what you may expect to encounter in your creative
endeavors. If you look, you will find similar parallels in your own
life and the lives of others - but you must be open to seeing them.
Hopefully you will come to see we are an unfolding
creative living process.
Where
to start to tell the story?
(Top)
We all have a
story to tell about our life. The story we tell is how we have
choose to interpret the events in our life. It is called a story
because we can tell it several different ways. The facts remain the
same but the story we tell about those events can be quite
different. Similarly, the same event may cause several different and
even conflicting views of the event and/or our life. For example,
there was one individual who routinely contacted the author. He was
in great physical pain yet simultaneously he saw nothing but magic
in the events of his life there were not part of his own body. On
one hand he saw nothing but the wonder and magnificence of what he
considered a Divine presence in his life that caused him to marvel
beyond belief. Yet simultaneously, he felt totally abandoned by that
same Divine presence when it came to his physical condition. The
same fact, the same life, but two entirely different perceptions as
to what was occurring around those events.
To be honest, it is still questionable as to whether or not a way
has been found to adequately tell the story that would best address
the origins of this material in a way that could really be
understood. But what has been realized is that much of the writing
that has been done (much of which is in the applications found on
the web) has been to provide the concepts to explain the origins of
this material. That is, to tell the story of the origins of this
material and relay the understanding, certain concepts are needed.
Yet those concepts were not readily or necessarily available to that
casual reader.
For example, the concept of the
creative spirit was the single key realization that caused the
remembrance for what the author
incarnated to do. Yet no reference has been found anywhere that
addresses the concept of the creative spirit, remembrance and
incarnation in the way they need to be discussed to explain the
experience of the Source of Creation and the remembrance which
occurred in that experience. So there was the need to write about
all of these topics to set the foundation to convey the
understanding. Similarly, the whole concept of incarnation and the
business of our life are not addressed anywhere in a way that
does justice to what came with the understanding about creativity,
the inner and outer creative powers available to us and the
source/Source of our being. So, much of my writing and the
material on the applications web sites had been written simply to
explain the origins of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity
understanding and associated materials.
The problem in talking about the origins of this material actually
quite simple. Who and what we are is
too much to be believed. Our minds and the concepts we possess
about ourselves and nature have not yet sufficiently evolved to
fully embraced the truth of what is. For many of us, we have to take
the understanding presented here in the Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material on faith and see if it is effective in our lives
to create what we desire. Then
allow effectiveness to be our measure of truth.
In telling the story, there was, of course, an occasion to
consciously start the journey into creativity and that is easy to
describe and is provided. There was an occasion to cause the
creation of the material on the website you accessed. Similarly an
occasion exists for the creation of the applications on each of the
application web sites. They too are relatively easy to describe.
However, the discovery was the actual origins of the journey and
understanding which gives rise to the material on each of the
application web sites go much deeper than the occasion for their
creation. They go much deeper that we can ever imagine. That is why
it has been necessary to create the concepts that explain the story.
It is the
process not the details
(Top)
The whole intent of the Releasing
Your Unlimited Creativity material is to provide a way to see that
our lives are much bigger than our minds can imagine. To help meet
this intent, the details of the author’s life and the unfoldment of
this material is used to help show this fact and maybe assist you in
seeing a similar phenomenon in your own life.
The most important thing one needs to understand about creativity is
that creativity is an experience. Creativity not something you can
learn from books. You learn it from doing and
giving yourself permission to experiment with the
inner and outer creative powers available to each of us. Unless
we experiment with these creative powers in a way that fits our
uniqueness as a creative being, we will be unable to access the true
depth and breadth of what we can create. In this regard, our
creativity is inherently tied to our life experiences and what we
allow ourselves to experience. To understand the origins of any
creative work, we need to explore the life of the creator relative
to the creation. All that can really be done is give you the pieces
and allow you to assemble them in a way that makes sense to you
and/or satisfies your creative needs relative to the origins of the
particular aspect of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity for
which you are interested. (More

Exploring
creativity is about reprogramming
(Top)
As a result of the fact that
nature of any truly creative endeavor is to take us into the
unknown, many of us need to reprogram ourselves and/or acquire a new
set of experiences to access the level of creative power and ability
to create what we seek. Some of us can do this quite naturally and
easily. For others, the necessary reprogramming and/or obtaining the
necessary new experiences cannot be done without the assistance of
another or others. So, it is wise to become aware of how we need
others in our life to access our creativity and become aware of
those who enter our life and why they enter our life to help us
unfold our desired creation.
On this point of reprogramming what you may expect to encounter in
exploring your creativity and creative power, there are four stories
it is recommended you review. These four stories help set the stage
for way you may expect to encounter in any conscious attempt to
access the creative power you seek. As you read the origins of the
material on the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity application web
sites you will probably see elements of all these four stories for
they all have been experienced in one way or another to one degree
or another.
Two of the stories, “The Eaglet” and “The Lion Cub” are found in the
hyperlink, “The
Human Conditions as seen from the Creativity Perspective.” The
third is “A
Proverbial Story of Five Men” is found in the truth in labeling
topic of the same name. The fourth story is about a wheelwright and
a prince embedded in the discussion on the topic “A
Reflection on Our Creation, the Creator, the Creation and the
Creative Process.” It is to be noted that what is described in
these stories the author has personally experienced and can vouch to
the applicability in your creative endeavors.
