Solving the puzzle of our life
The
Creation Building Blocks can be used in a variety of ways to
understand how we have created a puzzle to challenge our infinite
creative ability. Although there are many ways in which one could
use these building blocks, there are four which that have been found
useful. The are: “Use what is needed, as needed, approach”,
“Becoming a musician of creativity approach”, a “Tarot approach,”
and “Solving the puzzle of our life.”
The individual building blocks accessed through the hyperlinks in
the topics “Creation
Building Blocks” and the “List
of Creation Building Blocks” are designed for use under the
“Becoming a musician of creativity approach.” If you desire to use
the building blocks in the “Tarot approach” there is a section in
each building block discussing its use as a divination tool. It is
also recommended you review the file “Creation
Building Blocks as a Divination Tool.”
Use
what is needed as needed approach (Top)
Use what is needed as needed is
straight forward. In this approach one reads, studies or use
whatever building blocks they are lead to use or that they think is
appropriate to their creative endeavors. Depending on the creative
endeavor, some building blocks are more useful than others. All the
building blocks are not needed for any one particular creative
endeavors.
Becoming a musician of creativity approach
(Top)
One extremely effective way to use
the building blocks is to use them in a way to study creativity
analogous to the way one would learn to play a music instrument. It
is to study, contemplate and explore each building block as a
separate and isolated facet of creativity. Then allow the
understandings we obtain about each of them to gel within our being
into a composite understanding.
This approach is much like learning to play a music instrument. In
learning to play a musical instrument, there are a series of
lessons. We study a variety of exercises and fingering techniques
which only appear remotely related to playing a song or performing
some piece of music. In the lessons usually the individual studies
exercises to learn how to move the their figures specific to the
instrument to create different notes, to learn how to play different
scales and/or how to play different combinations of notes and
scales. Then, when a particular piece of music is played, all that
has been practiced is called forth to play what the piece of music
requires. However, without the basic techniques and understandings
of how to play and manipulate the instrument, we can’t really make
music. We will make sounds but we will not have the ability to make
a controlled flow of harmony either by following a written piece of
music or as an improvisational performance. We need to have the
basics first.
The goal in learning to play an instrument is to expand the depth
and breadth of what music one is capable of playing on the
instrument. Most musicians eventually fall into playing a particular
type and kind of music although their initial training was not
particularly focused. That is, one is not taught to play a piece of
music. Rather one is taught how to sufficient master their
instrument to play any pieces of music.
Learning creativity through the building block approach is similar.
Each building block becomes a lesson to be studied and understood.
In this approach one is not taught how to create something in
particular. Rather one is taught to master their creativity and
their
instrument of creativity to create whatever is needed. Using the
building block approach to become a musician of creativity keeps to
the philosophy give an individual a fish, they eat for a day. Teach
the individual how to fish and they eat for a lifetime. Using the
building block as lessons to develop the depth and breaded of our
creativity provides tools for any creative endeavor for any aspect
of life or for whatever we desire to create.
How to use the building blocks to “become a musician of creativity”
is discussed in the topic of the same name, “Becoming
a Musician of Creativity.”

tarot approach (Top)
Although the building blocks are
designed more as the “the pieces of the puzzle” we need to
understand how we create our experiences, one interesting use of the
Creation Building Blocks is as an investigative tool and
divination tool. Here we use the building blocks analogous to the
way one could use a tarot deck or similar divination tool such as
the I Ching, runes, and the like. In this approach one can use the
card spreads used with the Tarot deck or any other deck of cards or
divination tool. Here the cards are replaced by markers representing
the building block The markers could be in any form. The most common
form would probably be creating ones’ own deck of card where each
building block is represented by one card. However, there are other
ways to use the building blocks as a divination tool other than card
spreads. Some other uses are discussed in the topic “Creation
Building Blocks as a Divination Tool” If this approach is
selected it is recommended this topic be reviewed.
Some specific ideas and way to use the building blocks in the tarot
approach is discussed in the topic “Using
the Creation Building Blocks in Divination.”
Solving the puzzle of our
life (Top)
As fourth way to use the building
blocks is to use each of them as a clue to how
we have created a puzzle which we experience as
creation/Creation and how we can solve it and unravel the mystery we
have created. How we apply them in this fashion and what the
building blocks mean for us will be unique to our own being.
For example, one building block states that we live in a “Predatory
World” and all creations will require something to be eaten and
consumed to supply the energy for that creation to come into
existence and then to sustain that creation. What we eat gives or
doesn’t give us the nutrients and energy to create. What we are
drawn to eat and consume at each and every level of our being tells
us something about what we created and how we have created our
puzzle . What we want is both sustaining what we already have
created and are in the process of creating. What we currently eat
can be checked with our
body wisdom and
intuitive guidance to see if what we are eating we need to eat
to manifest the intention that we hold whether our intention is to
manifest the dream in our heart to full the
intention for our life or some other creative effort. What we
eat gives us the energy to create the experiences we need to
manifest our dream/intention.
As we change what we eat to align with the flow of our
creative life energy/creative spirit
to manifest our dream/intention, we will find an increase in
our creative passion
and that in turn pulls us to the experiences we need to have. That,
in turn causes us to change what we eat to add more fuel to our
efforts. The process continually repeats itself expanding ever
outward. So looking carefully at what we currently eat spiritually,
mentally, emotionally and physically, tells us much about our
creative activities to date. In an analogous way, we can explore
each of the individual building blocks to see what they tell us
about the mystery we have created for ourselves.
Using the building blocks to help us solve the puzzle of our life is
discussed in the topic of the same name, “Solving
the puzzle of our life.”
