The mental
level
The
deeper undercurrent
The occasion to create Creativity
Physics was straight forward. It was simply to fulfill an observed
need. However the true origins of Creativity Physics lies much
deeper than even the author initially realized. In hindsight it was
a direct result of his
choice to explore how we can access and manipulate the unseen
energy flows that give rise to Creation.
The
occasion
(Top)
The occasion to create Creativity
Physics came in writing the equivalent of a book entitled,
Fundamentals for Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity. The
material followed a workshop directed toward assisting individuals
to get in touch with their unique form of creativity. The book
captured many of the principles and concept discussed in the
workshop about how we create our experiences.
It was found individuals did not have the concepts to bridge the
seen unseen realms of creation as they related to one’s creativity.
Nor did they have a good understanding of the
inner and outer creative power/Creative Power available to them.
The physics provided
examples from nature and a way to help understand the
creative process and how our own creativity works. The book
captured the essentials ideas to address many of these issues. The
material on the Creativity Physics on the web is essentially the
material found in this book. Of course, improvement have been made,
and are made, as they are found.
When the book Fundamentals for Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity was compiled in 1999, the author thought he was done
with the journey to explore which he started years earlier. His
thinking was relatively simplistic. Once you have the physics of
creativity and know how to use it, what else did you need? Little
did he suspect an entirely new phase was to open to exploration. In
particular, there was the need to understand the deeper inner
longing that many of us feel as a motivation in our creative
endeavors.
Prior to this point, most of the exploration of creativity focused
on creativity as we project it externally outward and into something
like an organization. Exploration and understanding the deeper inner
longing that gives rise to our creative desires was something the
physics needed for understanding the phenomenon of how we create
could not explain. It did not explain why we desire to create, why
we create what we do, what was experienced when we do create or why
we experience what we do. As noted in the origins of the Releasing
Your Unlimited Creativity topic, “In the Box” the author still
needed to explore other aspects of the top and bottom of the box or
cage in which we hold our creative spirit captive.
What the author experienced was only a “short vacation” from the
journey. However the content of the Creativity Physics aspect has
remained essentially unchanged throughout the remainder of the
journey. Although each presentation of the concepts provided a
refinement of the material the essential content has remain
unchanged. What changed in the second half of the journey was the
author’s understanding of the origins of this material.
Two levels to the origins
(Top)
There are two levels to the
origins of the Creativity Physics. One, the “mental” level, is the
more mundane level based on our mind. It is reflective of how and
what we think about the universe and how we think it operations. The
mental level was what the author originally perceived was the
origins of Creativity Physics.
The second level is actually too much for many to believe. Having
been trained as physicist, the author knew there are flows of energy
of which we are not always aware. There are cause effect
relationships. He knew energy flows because of a cause that, in
turn, produces the effect we experience. So the question the author
choose to explore was can we access the flows of energy that are
giving rise to the experiences we have both individually and
collectively. The answer is we can.
This second level is based on a deeper level of understanding
reflective of
deep undercurrents within creation and our lives which give rise
to Creation. These deep undercurrents are more reflective of the
mystical journey experienced by the author. The deep
undercurrents reflect a piece of essential understanding revealed in
the
journey to find an alternative way. In this journey, the author
decided to actively pursue the concept of the
body as an energy detector and explore how we sense and
interpret the unseen energy of Creation.
The
mental level
(Top)
As one may suspect, the origins of
Creativity Physics lies in the authors education as a physicist. It
was quite natural for him to use examples from the world of physics,
chemistry and nature to explain the
creative process and what he experienced in the
Ultimate Accident. It is only natural that he would do so.
However, looking to physics to understand how we create went deeper.
The original goal of
the exploration into creativity was to understand organizational
creativity and find creative solutions to the problems that were
faced. However, as he explore creativity it naturally evolved into
understanding how we create our experiences in the physical world
which in turn lead to how that includes the reality of the
experiences. It then became necessary to find a way to explain how
this was possible.
The real driving force and origins to talk about Creativity Physics
and use it in the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material came
from a combination of two things. The first was a result of
understanding and overlaying the physical and mystical aspects of
Creation and the oneness inherent in Creation as a result in his
realization and experience of oneness in the
Ultimate Accident. In this awareness he came to understand how
to
view energy and consciousness as being equivalent. The challenge
was to show how this energy conscious relationship allows us, and
actually causes us, to create our experiences such that for all
practical purposes a human being is a
creativity machine that cannot not create.
The author looked to physics and nature for explanations of how this
can be seen to work as a result of something he learned from the
experiences of Neils Bohr when Bohr struggled with understanding
the atomic structure and first postulated a model for the atom.
Bohr’s comments essentially said that if we wish to find a way to
understand nature, then to look to nature for guidance.
If all existed in oneness, all arises out of the same “stuff” of
Creation. Both energy and consciousness arises out of the same
material of Creation. Hence to understand how consciousness created
its experiences, it was only a short leap to look to the physics of
energy and the phenomena of nature for ways and examples to
understand how consciousness was creating the experience it had. It
made sense to look at nature to see what nature revealed about how
the creative process works. It only made sense to look at the
creative processes that occur in nature to see what information they
may provided about how we, as individuals and as consciousness,
create our reality and the reality of those experiences. The
creative processes of nature can also provide some understanding as
to what creative powers lies internally and what lies externally to
each of us.
Additionally, there are some assumptions the Releasing Your
Unlimited Creativity Understanding makes about the nature of reality
based on what has been experienced in the journey to explore
creativity. These assumptions are address best if we understand a
few physics concepts. These assumption were needed to explain
certain phenomenon the author saw relative to our internal creative
power and ability and the connection with the external
creative power/Creative Power of Creation. In many ways they
parallel
several assumptions made by Einstein early in Einstein’s work
about the quantization of light. The author found the approach by
both Bohr and Einstein has a significant influence on Releasing Your
Unlimited Creativity understanding.
In many ways the mind set we have about our creative power and
ability is not unlike the mind set the physic community faced at the
beginning of the Twentieth Century. Physicist had their ideas and
models about how Nature worked. Many of those ideas continued to be
pushed even when they were obviously failing to predict the way
Nature worked.
Both Bohr and Einstein found ways to step out and break that mind
set.
In a similar way, the author has found there are many creative
powers and abilities we inherently possess. However, we never access
them simply because our models and/or ways of thinking about
ourselves limits the creative power available to us. Our thinking
and our beliefs put our creativity in a cage of our own making. In
essence we have a creative mind set that keeps our creativity
captive rather than freeing it to create. The
creativity perspective and
holding our creativity sacred provides a way to break out of
this mind set. Creativity Physics is designed to provide the mind a
way to understand how it is possible that we do create the
experiences we have and help make it safe for our mind to let our
creative spirit out of the cage it has constructed.
The deeper undercurrent
(Top)
For the longest time, the author
was comfortable with the above explanation to the origins of
Creativity Physics. However, in time, he came to realize something
else was at work. It was something at first glance is too much to be
believed.
The origins of Creativity Physics can also be said to arise from a
deeper undercurrent of Creation which was intuitively accessed. This
deeper undercurrent was accessed much the way physicist and chemist
have always intuitively accessed information about the nature of
Creation. If you look at the History of Physics and Chemistry making
breakthroughs through intuitive understanding readily occurred. What
is different about the material here is just that this author did
not use the mathematics typically used by physicist today to explain
what they intuit.
It can be said, there are two kinds of physicists. Each lies on
opposite ends of a spectrum. Each physicist contains a mixture of
each. One kind uses the mathematics of physics to both explain and
predict what should be experienced. The other kind intuits an
understanding and then look for a mathematical way to prove it or
support it.
Although the author had an experience early in his
journey to find an alternative way which alluded to this fact,
he did not understand it at the time. As discussed in the journey to
find an alternative way, the author began to investigate if the
body could be considered an energy detector of the unseen realms
of Creation. He began that exploration with working with several
psychics.
Frustrate with something he was encountering on the journey, the
author asked one of the psychics, “What if I quit this journey?” The
psychic’s replay was, “The lead will just be given to another.” At
the time, the author did not understand exactly to what the psychic
was referring. The author did not have sufficient personal
experience with the
deep undercurrents of Creation to make sense of what he was
being told to his logical mind. He had not yet obtained that
minimum set of requisite experience to understand the deep
undercurrents of Creation or what he will find when he accesses
them.
In the discussion, “A
reflection on our creation -the creator, the creation and the
creative process” the author talks about our creativity, whether
it be to create an experience or some object or expression such as
art or music, is a byproduct of our way of being. Any profession
trains it members in a way of being and/or perceiving the world.
That way of being allows for insights about Creation that they could
otherwise not have. An engineer’s way of being is different than a
psychologist’s way of being which is different than a dancer’s way
of being. Being multidimensional beings, we can overlap our
perception but in general, different professions provided a
different way of being and seeing the world. That does not make one
view more or less valuable or important, just different. These
different ways of being allow for different insights about the
nature of Creation and the human experience of Creation.
However, there is a deeper issue that arises from our way of being.
It is obvious our ways of being allow us to have different
perceptions of about the world we experience. But our ways of being
also cause us to intuitively access different undercurrents of
Creation. This has profound impact that goes well beyond what most
comprehend. It also gives rise to many arguments between people
because they both argue from the truth of their own experiences
about the truth of reality. Both argue from different perspectives.
The traditional story used to demonstrate this about human
perception is that six blind men go and explore a different part of
an elephant. The first man, who gets the tail, says the elephant is
like a snake. The second one who grabs a leg says the elephant is
like a cylinder or a tree. The third holds the trunk and says the
elephant is like a fire hose. The fourth grabs the ear and says the
elephant is flat and thin. The fifth tried to grab the elephant
around it stomach and says it is so large he cannot get his arms
around it. The sixth uses a step ladder to climb on top and say the
elephant is taller than a man standing on the shoulders of another.
The question in this example is, “Who is right?” Which of the men
have correctly described the elephant. What can give the correct
description? The answer is they are all correct but they are all
also wrong. The answer lies in all of the pieces and more. So to any
perception humans use to describe Creation. All that we can say,
including the composite of all that everyone has observed, is still
incorrect no matter how correct it may be. There is more to Creation
than our conscious mind can understand. The question is, “What
perspective provides the most effective view of Creation for what we
wish to create for that perspective is also what gives rise to how
our intuitive insights are interpreted and perceived.
What most of us are not aware is that many of us find it difficult
to separate out our intuitive insights from what we think is a
normal logical thinking pattern of our mind. To do so, one must be
very mindful and aware to discern the origin of the thoughts which
is actually not as hard as it sounds. Because different ways of
being produce different insights, members of a given profession will
tend to have more intuitive insight that are similar because they
are accessing the same deep undercurrents of Creation. Yet the
members of that profession will consider many of the insights part
of the straight forward thinking logic of their training when, in
fact, it is not.
This becomes most obvious when the member of a profession talks to a
lay person or another member of their profession. A chemist will
talk to a chemist differently than they do to a lay person about
their area of expertise. Part of communicate is language based. That
is, the lay person does not have the language of the chemist. But it
is actually deeper than language. There are insights that are more
intuitive that arise because of the way the chemist views creation.
The intuitive insights are shared quite naturally with a member of
the profession such that it appears language based when they are
not.
The author’s greatest experience with this phenomenon occurred when
he just graduated from graduate school. He was asked to teach men
with only a High School degree and little to no science background
the principles and concepts of a nuclear reactors for the purpose of
operating such a reactor. It was the most profound education of
physics that author ever received. In college and graduate school,
the author relied on the mathematics to understand the physics. Now
all of a sudden the mathematics was taken from him. He had to
explain all the physics concepts and principle with nothing more
that High School Algebra. No calculus, no differential equations, no
polar coordinates, no group theory, and none of all the other
mathematical tools in the author’s mathematical arsenal.
To the author, it was a huge challenge. He had to essentially
relearn all the physics he knew. It is as thought he had to learn it
in a different language. What he knew through the language of
mathematics, he now had to learn through his every day intuition and
find a way to communicate through the intuition of every day
language. One of the more comic examples that worked was to explain
gravity. When asked by a student, “How does gravity work,” the
author replied, “The earth sucks.” Of course, the class laughed and
the student said, “No really, how does gravity work.” Again the
author replied, “The earth sucks.” The author then said, “
Seriously, the earth sucks. The earth doesn’t blow, it sucks. It is
an observed phenomenon that is just the way it is.” The student
replied, “Oh, I get it.” For the student to understand the earth
inherently sucks made more sense to his mind than the equation
governing gravitation attraction and saying there was an invisible
force of attraction between particles with mass that physic has yet
to explain why it exists. At an intuitive level, the student
understood. How that intuitive understanding arose was not as
important as the understanding itself. Simplistic as it sound, this
conversation is reflective of what gave rise to the origins of
Creativity Physics.
It was years before the author realized that what he thought were
logical conclusions about the nature of Creation and how we create
were not necessarily all logical. Many of them were intuitive
understanding because of the author’s perspective. This issue became
more acute as the author studied creativity and to find a way to
communicate what he saw and experienced. The fundamental awareness
the author gained in the
Ultimate Accident about the nature of the Source of Creation and
the
source/Source of our creative power has never changed. The
struggle has been to find a way to communicate it. Frankly, the
author could not understand why is was do difficult to communicate
what he knew. It seemed so obvious.
Nevertheless, the author struggled to capture the understanding in
whatever way he could. He found the physical analogies, metaphors
and processes within physics quite useful. But it was as though he
was struggling to communicate something that was beyond what most
could really understand and he couldn’t understand why. It seemed so
obvious. Then, in time he realized something. In watching the TV
shows that tried to communicate advances in String Theory the author
took notice of the analogies the String Theorists used to explain
the phenomenon they were trying to communicate. He noticed that many
were identical to what he was using and, more importantly, they were
trying to communicate the same understanding. The only difference
was, the String Theorist were doing what he did early in his career.
That is, trying to explain a phenomenon relatively easily understood
with mathematics without the mathematics.
The String Theorists were trying to bridge the gap between what the
mathematics provides and what the mathematics is really
communicating about the nature of the Universe. It was the same
problem the author faced years earlier. The difference now was that
the author did not have the mathematics that went with the insights
he was accessing. The String Theorist on the other hand used the
mathematics to gain the insights and now were troubled with trying
to explain the insights without the mathematics.
In the end, the author came to realize he was accessing the same
deep undercurrent as the String Theorist. It is why the psychic said
years earlier that if the author gave up the journey it would be
given to another. What the author had been doing and what he has
access is not personal. It is something we all do but do not
necessary understand. He understood simply as a result of the
physics perspective he gained in his life. Others would similarly
access those currents and present them to people. The only
difference is that their perspective would be different than the
author’s and what they present would appear different. Yet it is
essentially the same - much like the six blind men exploring the
elephant. .
In essence, humanity has reached a level of awareness that it can
now tap into a deeper understanding that what has every been
possible with the human view of Creation. The viewpoint of the
physicist creates the mind set to see this deep undercurrent in a
way that humanity can begin to tap into it and use it on a more
massive scale. However, accessing this deep undercurrent has always
been available to humanity. Many mystics have tapped into the same
current but did not have the metaphors, analogies and means to
effectively capture what they experienced and communicated it. They
communicated the best they could. Many talked about the God or the
Creator within. Yet those expression were only a metaphors for the
inherent ability of the human being to tap into the Source of
Creation and the deepest levels of the
creative power/Creative Power available to each of us. It was
the
author’s mystical path that allowed him to work with the
insights his rational mind trained in physics was providing.
The essence of what this means is that humanity is only now
collectively obtaining the
minimum set of requisite experience to truly understand the
depth and breadth of
creative power/Creative Power that is available to each of us.
The true origins of Creative Physics lie in a very deep undercurrent
of Creation. One goal of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity
material is to help you the reader access and experience this
deep undercurrent for your self in your own way. It is an
experience open to you if you desire to create it. Only to do so
will require you to become different. It does not require you to
become a physicist. It only requires you to create a way of being in
your life that allows you to access the information and
understanding it provides. How you do that is unique to yourself and
it is your
intuitive guidance that will take you there. You only need to
ask for directions. A
creativity perspective and
holding your creativity sacred will help you in your journey as
will the ideas in the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity materials
