Our thoughts have the ability to
transform Creation and what it means to be human. All that exist in
Creation that has been created by humanity started as a thought
within the mind of one single individual. Much of humanity lives
much differently than it lived a hundred or two hundred years ago.
At the time of this writing it was only one hundred and two years
since the first airplane few. The changes that have occurred in
those hundred and two years has been quite phenomenal. One question
that can be asked is, “Exactly what thoughts or what type and kind
of thinking really allowed for such revolutionary changes?” And of
course, the debate can go on for years as to what the correct answer
is to such a question.
In any case, about eighteen months after the reorganization which
provided the time and opportunity for the author to elect to under
take a
consciously journey to explore creativity, there was a synthesis
and culmination in the author’s thinking. He had been exploring
creativity in both is profession and private life for quite some
time. All that he experienced came together in an insight. The
insight was, in essence, about a quantum or step wise jump in human
consciousness and understanding. He entitled it “A
Critical Mass of Enlightenment Vision” and wrote up a brief
description of what he envisioned occurring based on what he had
come to learn to that date. At the time, it was a curiosity piece
and he had no real plans to do anything with it.
All of that changed over the next few months. As the author had
experienced in the past, his work life was become very repetitions
Although the issues and problems seem new, they were, in fact, only
repackaging of the same old issues in a new form. So too the
solutions people were provided. They did not address the root cause
so it was only a matter of time before the issue again raised itself
but in a different context that made it appear to be a different
issue. He was looking for something new and different.
Although he was asked to help create and become the executive
director for a mind body foundation, that effort did not address the
depth and breadth of what we was feeling he needed to do in life.
Important as a mind body foundation could be to help individuals
heal, as discussed in the topic, ‘The
Experience as a Healer,” he wasn’t really interested in the
healing aspects of the mind body foundation. Rather he was
interested in creating it and then moving onto something else. What
he did not consciously realize was that he was looking for was
something to challenge the depth and breadth of his creativity. Yet,
nothing he was being asked to do seemed to fit that challenge.
Then something occurred which radically changed his life. While the
author was on a trip back to the place of his birth to visit family
on his wedding anniversary, his car burnt up almost directly under
the bridge where the Appalachian Train crossed over US Interstate
70. What struck the author so profoundly was how calm he was in
watching the car burn as he sat under the bridge. His only thought
was, “I wonder if I’m too close to the car when the gas tank
explodes?” In many way he was enjoying it and actually looking
forward to the gas tank exploding. But what surprised him was how
calm he was. He knew something else was occurring. He knew he was
not observing the event before his eyes through the eyes of the life
he had lived. He was in a different awareness watching both a
destruction and a birth. The event could only be described as
surreal. The symbolism in all that was happening was initially
beyond what his mind could comprehension at the time. Yet, he knew
his life would never be the same. He knew he was watching the
destruction of his life as he knew his life to be.
There author knew there was deep symbolism in what was occurring
because the author was aware of the concept of a “familiar.” The
author learned about the “familiar “from his exploration of
creativity in some of the Native American traditions. The “familiar”
is an animal or animals that appear in the shaman or medicine
man/woman’s life which bring information. It many ways it the same
as a form of synchronicity but the bearer of the information, the
animal or other vehicle, is itself a communication. That is, certain
types and kinds of animals or events communicate what is occurring
behind the sense and you can learn to “read” the information they
carry. The old esoteric saying, “as within, as without” is
physically manifested in the “familiar.” That is, what appears in
front of you is a communication from the unseen. If what appears in
front of you is out of the ordinary, then pay attention to it for it
has something important to say.
On this point, a familiar can be interpreted as an archetype or
carry archetype information. Different familiars reflect different
archetype information. It time the author would learn that the
concept of the “familiar” was only the Native American way of
explain that
creativity is the language of consciousness. What appeared to
the shaman or medicine man/woman was only a communication of
consciousness/Consciousness in response to the question in which
the shaman sought an answer. What was obvious to the author was that
timing of the destruction of his car by fire was as much a
communication from the unseen world as it was a freak accident as a
result of poor manufacturing or engineering.
What became apparent in hindsight was the car was symbolic of the
creation vehicle the author was using in his life. That vehicle, his
mind, and what he thought and believed about himself as reflected in
his ego, and what he thought and believed about
creation/Creation, were all in the process of being destroyed.
In essence he was becoming the
phoenix. He created a funeral fire out of the nest he had
created in this life and was about allow himself to be consumed by
fire to rise from the ashes, born again and renewed.
The car, or what remained of it, and the author were transported to
an auto body shop. When he stepped into the lobby of the auto body
shop located in Maryland he was, in essence, transported to the
Southwest. The decor of the lobby was a traditional Southwest motif.
He saw what he would have seen in almost any traditionally styled
building in Albuquerque or Sante Fe, New Mexico to which he was a
frequently traveler at that time.
He knew there was an additional symbolism in what was happening. He
knew what was happening was a continuation of what started two years
earlier in New Mexico. At almost the exact same time two years
earlier he and another individual did a ritual together in the Great
Kiva at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. It was also almost exactly one
year later both individuals were again brought together through a
synchronicity of events in Phoenix to complete what was not competed
the previous year at Chaco Canyon. The author knew there was a
completion of this Southwest journey occurring in the destruction of
his car. He knew things would some how be quite different in the
future.
As stated in the discussion “Awareness
of the Path”: What is interesting about the suggest to write
a book was that the author wrote out the
vision of a critical mass of enlightenment just about the time
he starting to visit the psychologist. It was shortly after the
author being told he should write a book based on his understanding
that his car burnt up on Interstate 270 and he knew his life would
be come totally different. It was as though once the awareness was
raised within his mind to write, the world as he knew it would be
destroyed and was in the process of being destroyed. It was as
thought for him to write his entire life as he knew it and
understood it would have to be consumed, destroyed and reborn into a
new form.
The author knew the past as he knew it was gone. Whatever he was
exploring in creativity and doing with creativity was destroying his
past. Exactly how he did it was not quite understood at the time but
curiosity was getting the better of him. About a month later, the
author pulled out the
Critical Mass of Enlightenment Vision he wrote out four months
earlier. Having been an experimentalist and having a great love to
play, he decided to play. He obtained a log book much like he would
have used in the physics laboratory and decided to set up an
experience. He decided to see if he could create a critical mass of
enlightened individuals. He decided to do a
critical mass of enlightenment experiment based on the Critical
Mass of Enlightenment Vision he created several month earlier.
Although he set the intention to see if he could create the
creativity mass of enlightenment, he did not pursue it as such.
Rather he continued to help his physician friend create a mind body
foundation, look to assistant an individual to build a retreat
center and continued to pursue organizational creativity in his
professional life. In reality, he felt he didn’t have time to pursue
the critical mass of enlightenment experiment. He saw too many
issues in the workplace and felt it was more important to begin to
look for an alternative way to experience Creation such that
greater satisfaction could be achieved in the workplace. As part of
this effort, he also felt he should look at himself and at the
frustration he was feeling with those with whom he was trying to
create. He felt it appropriate to also change his attitude about
those who frustrated him. To address this frustration, he did what
he felt was reasonable at the time but in the end seemed a foolish
thing to do.
He set the intention to develop unconditional love with the
intent of learning to become accepting and tolerant of those things
which frustrated him.
What he didn’t realizes is that all of his actions were only
creating the conditions for an experience of the Ultimate Accident.
In essence he was creating a critical mass of conditions in his life
to create the doorway for his own enlightenment about the creative
process of Creation and the creative process of his own life to
understand how each of us are both the creators and the creation.
That is, we are the creators of the experiences of our life and the
reality of those experience and the life we experience is the
experience of creation we created.
