From the
creative/creation process the third step in the creation process
is stated as: energy generation [annihilation - union or coming
together of essential components - sacrifice - single point focus -
Cauldron of Creation - masculine and feminine joining - rainmaker -
chaos - establishing internal harmony - forgetting and becoming
lost].
For any creation to manifest, there needs to be a flow of energy
which both creates and animates the creation. The third step in the
creative/creation process is about the generation of this energy.
What needs to be understood about this step is that it may occur
once in the life of the creation, it may continue for the entire
creation, or there may be periodic spurts of energy generation. For
example, the creation of a single note of music requires an initial
energy generation to create the note. The creation of a song or
melody requires many different individually created notes strung
together in a continuous stream. To create a song, there is a
continual generation of energy throughout the entire life of the
creation. To create a symphony, some instruments play almost
continuously where as others have spurts of performance, coming and
going as needed.
Energy generation is
about change
(Top)
To understand the generation of
energy for a creative endeavor we undertake, it needs to be
understood that creation starts from where we are now. All of the
energy that we need to access to create what we desire is either in
an existing form or flowing into a given creation. To create
something new, something which currently exists must be changed.
Understanding energy generation is about understanding the types and
kinds of internal and external changes that will accompany our
creative endeavor. Exactly what type and kind of change we will
experience and how we experience the need for a
sacrifice for our
creation will depend on what we desire to create.
We rarely understand the magnitude of the change that accompanies
our creative endeavor for the human being is a
creativity machine
functioning within an
ever changing existing creation. The human being is always creating. Since we are
immersed in the process of
creation/Creation we never realize that
many of the changes we experience in life are self generated through
our own creative efforts. We take change for granted. There is an
old proverbial saying that the only guarantees in life are change
and death. We expect change yet there are things we hold onto and
try to keep from changing. We do not understand from where the
change comes and we think we can prevent the change from occurring.
Key to becoming a conscious creator is to begin to understand from
where the change comes in our life. It is to being to understand and
discern which flows of energy that we experience in change are the
result of what we ourselves generate. We need to distinguish self
generated flows of energy from the flows of energy that lies outside
our power to control. In learning what we have generated we can
begin to explore the reasons why and how we might change those flows
of energy into something that better
serves us and creates
a life
worth living. For those flows of energy which lie outside our power
to control we can learn to see where they are flowing and adjust our
lives accordingly to access that energy, avoid that energy or simply
to flow with it.
Although it may not have been observed, the previous two steps in
the
creative/creation process,
Conceptual Formation and
Creating the
Space for Creation, were about changing the exist form we experience
in our life. Conceptual Formation was about arranging our inner
world to what we desire to create. Creating the Space for Creation
was about moving internally and externally to find the space to
create the what we desire. Energy generation is about making the
changes that allow for the energy to flow to manifest what we desire
to experience based on the first two steps.
Although three steps are presented, in reality what occurs in these
steps often occurs simultaneously and they are more of an iterative
process than a single one time action. For example, as we explore
our thinking to get greater clarity in our intention, we are
actually creating a space within ourselves to manifest that
intention. As we see what is possible, we may find ourselves
becoming more and more excited as to what we can accomplish. That
excitement then drives a deeper look at possibilities and we being
to actively see how we can manifest what we desire externally. We
being to look at options available in the external world. In
essence, we are creating the space to manifest our intention.
Energy generation
(Top)
Energy is defined as the capacity
or ability to produce and effect or the ability to do work and there
are various forms of energy. The two most basic forms are kinetic
energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion and
potential energy is energy stored in some way. Depending on how the
energy is in motion we can further define energy in motion by the
type of motions such as rotational energy or radiant energy.
Similarly, we can further describe potential energy by where it is
stored such as chemical energy, gravitational energy, nuclear energy
and the like. What is important for our discussion on creativity and
physics is Creation is the dance between the forms which energy
takes.
From a
creativity perspective the
first thing to understanding about energy generation is that energy
is not physical. It is not physical in the sense that we can hold
it. A form of energy gives rise to the physical but the energy
itself is not physical. Rather, one form of energy is physical. We
can often feel it if we have the means to sense it. We can work with
its effects. We can transfer it from one object to another. We can
store it to some degree. But we can’t hold onto it as we would a
piece of mass. Yet, mass is energy. In holding mass, we hold energy.
But the energy we can hold must be converted to another form of
energy before it can be used to give us the ability to produce an
effect. Energy that is held in form is rendered unavailable to
energize our creativity or creative actions.
Energy is what gives rise to the physical. Our experiences of the
physical world give us the impression is that energy is of the
physical world and some other material exist in the unseen world. We
access energy sources, like oil, coal, gas, sunlight and the like
and use it to power motors and machines to do work for us. We use it
to make things happen. So we think energy is of the physical world
and something that is physical. However, energy is of the unseen
world and something else exists in the physical. What exists in the
physical is the experience of energy. It particular it
is the experience of energy localizing into a given form.
The important point here is to understand that energy, or rather a
flow of energy, is what gives rise to
creation/Creation. Technically
creation/Creation is not energy. Creation/creation is the experience
of the flow or movement of energy. The contrast of what is
fixed and what flows is what gives rise to the form of
creation/Creation we experience. Without a flow of energy there is
no movement. Without movement thee is nothing to observe or
experience. As such, as we adjust and/or change the flow of energy,
we experience a different creation/Creation.
Physically, we generate a flow of energy by moving or changing the
positions objects with mass relative to one another in a way that a
flow of energy is generated. We say we move an object form greater
potential energy to one of less potential energy. In the process of
that movement we generate a flow of energy to create or do
something. For example, objects fall down. The object falls from
greater potential to less potential. We can harness the energy in
that fall as we do in the power obtained from hydroelectric dam as
the water flows down a mountain to the sea. We rearrange the atoms
of chemical fuels like that of hydrogen and oxygen to create water
and energy. Our bodies rearrange molecules to generate the energy of
life. We rearrange the nuclear structure of Uranium and Plutonium
with neutrons and create nuclear energy which can be transformed
into electrical energy.
In the physical world, we rearrange the objects of physical creation
to release the energy stored in the arrangement of the atoms and
nucleons and in the gravitational force between objects with mass.
In time it would appear all the energy of physical Creation will be
released and dissipated such that physical Creation will cease
movement.
Enter
consciousness and energy consciousness (Top)
Within an existing creation, energy is neither created or destroyed. It is only transformed.
Within the
creativity perspective and
energy consciousness model
perspective, all that energy that is dissipated in physical creation
still exists as potential accessible through, or by, consciousness.
Consciousness by how it focuses it attention and awareness can
“concentrate” energy. Or, alternatively said, consciousness causes
the energy to
localize into a particular from or flow. Consciousness can
seemingly create something out of
nothing. Yet, all it is doing is transforming energy from one form
to another. Consciousness transforms the potential of energy within
energy consciousness into a form of energy it can then use to make
something happen. The form of energy that consciousness uses is
thought energy or the energy within, or giving rise to, thoughts.
In this regard, the human being is a
creativity machine and an
energy transfer device that allows consciousness to easily and
readily translate or transform thought energy into a physical
manifestation. As experienced by humans, consciousness creates
thoughts. It then uses the body to amplify that thought energy and
convert that thought energy into action through the mechanical and
chemical processes. Consciousness then uses the body’s actions to
rearrange the world in which it finds itself to create what it
desires.
What need to be realized is that although thoughts are massless,
they are nevertheless things. Just as we can rearrange things in the
external physical world to generate energy, we can rearrange our
thoughts to generate the energy and
passion to create and to
generate a
creative passion.
As we rearrange our thoughts we change the focus of our attention
and awareness. That, in turn, shifts where we direct our
creative life energy which lies at the essence
of our creative ability and creative power.
The energy for creation
(Top)
Physical Creation runs extremely
well in a relatively automatic way based on the physical laws and
rules of Physical Creation. Only in the past few hundred years has
humanity really begun to understand and tap into these laws and
rules and use them creatively. But anything created by a human
arises from a single thought within a human and that human having
the
passion and energy to act on that thought.
All creative endeavor, no matter how big or how small, arise from a
feeling within our being to act to create. Generating the energy for
creation is about feeling and having a feeling that generate the
energy and
passion within our own being to create what we desire. We
can have a very clear idea of what we would like to create, but
unless we have the energy, passion and motivation to act, nothing
will come from that clarity of our idea or the desire we have to
manifest that idea. Something must energize and call us forth to
act. What calls us forth to act, what stimulates us to become
passionate enough to create, can come from an internal or external
source.
The source of energy for
creation
(Top)
Creativity, there is only one
source/Source of energy for
creation/Creation. Energy is energy no
matter where we find it and use it. It all comes from the same
source/Source. It all is just the ability or capacity to produce an
effect. We are never removed from the source/Source for we are the
energy of the source/Source manifesting. However as a human, there
is an illusion and it appears there is an internal source of energy
and external sources of energy. Yet, in reality, there is only the
source/Source.
Internally, our power and ability to create arises from the feelings
and
passion we have to act to make something happen. Externally, we
tap into the energy stored wood, oil, coal, the radiation from the
sun, the nuclear structure of atoms, the arrangement of objects in
the gravitational field of earth and a variety of other external
sources. For most practical application, and as reflected in most of
our experiences, internal energy is separate and unrelated to
external energy. However, they are connected and their connection
becomes very important if we wish to explore and understand the
depth and breadth of our unlimited creative power and ability. The
web site
Creativity Physics and the topic introduced in “The physics
of the creative/creation process” provide the discussion to
understand this connect and how to use it. The focus here is access
the internal
source/Source of energy to give us the passion to
create and act in the world to create what we desire.
The
source/Source for our creativity lies in the feelings we have to
act and there are two way to access feelings. One way is to access
the internal energy for creation is to have it called forth by
something external to the essence of our being. The other way to
access the internal energy is to have it arise from within our being
such that it pushes or forces us to act. Whether the energy to
create is called forth from something external to us or it is
allowed to arise from within our being, in either case our
mind
stands at the door way.
Our
mind, and what we think and believe is actually external to the
essence of our being. It is not who and what we are. It is only a
lens or filter we use to experience
creation/Creation. How and what
we think and believe determines if our
creative life energy is
free or not free to flow into any idea we may
hold. Sometimes nothing blocks the free flow of our energy and we
are totally free to express ourselves. At other times, our
mind
prevents the free flow of our energy and it must be called forth
from something external to us, we must rearrange our thinking to
allow it to flow or it simply remains imprisoned with the
cage of
our own making by how and what we think.
Energy generation is about arranging our beliefs and thinking to
cause the feeling to arise within our being that can give us the
passion and energy to create what we desire. It is to rearrange our
beliefs and thinking to create a
creative passion.
Calling forth the
energy for creation
(Top)
In understanding it is our
feelings that we access which gives rise energy and
passion to
create, we need to explore what allows us to feel and become excited
about what we desire to create. Most of our creative endeavors are
done subconsciously in that the passion and energy to act to create
something arise without our conscious awareness. Whether we are
excited from something arising from within our being or there is
something external to us that excites us, we are not necessarily
aware of what is causing the excitement. The Energy Generation step
is to be aware and consciously arrange the circumstances that allows
the energy and passion to create to arise within our being.
One way is to rearrange the existing materials of
creation/Creation
in a way that catalyzes us to act to create what we desire to
create. This means that we look for that job, cause, person or other
external focus, our
muse in one form or another, that allows us to
become excited, passionate or at least have strong feeling for
creating. Part of the
Creating the Space Step is to find that
external world that allows to become excited. When we find that
world, whether in the form of a job, person or cause, we jump into
it allowing ourselves to be totally consumed by it and in essence
annihilating a part of our life to give to what externally excites
us.
The other way to find the
passion to create is to look within and
see what is really worth creating and allows us to create
a life
worth living. Here we look at what we think and believe to see what
allows us to become passionate about what we desire to create. Then
when we understand what is motivating us allow ourselves to be
totally consumed by it and again, allow
a part of our life to be
annihilated and given to what we believe.
Ideally, we have idea that we explore in the
Conceptual Formation
Step that we think is worth creating. We then look to see how we can
create it and where. We look both internally and externally to see
what we need to do to obtain the space that will allow us to create
what we desire. When we have the idea, and understand what we need
to do create it, we then need to allow ourselves to become excited
and passionate about creating it. Hopefully we both align what we
thing and believe with something that directs us externally to
create what we desire.
Often we are excited internally about creating something but cannot
find something externally that calls us forth to create. There is no
one who supports our effort or is interested in what we have to
offer. There is nothing to
ground our energy and allow it to flow
into manifestation. Similarly, we find talents and ability to do
something externally and the opportunities are there to manifest
many creative ideas we may have. Unfortunately we find there is no
passion or feeling inside us to do.
It is at these times, we will need to
create something from nothing.
If there is nothing external to us that calls forth our excitement,
we will have to create it. Similarly, if we cannot find the
excitement within to capitalize on the opportunities that may
present themselves, we will have to create it.
The optimum way to create something is to look at two things. One is
look at what allows us to feel the
fulness of being and/or creates a fulness of life within our being. Anything that falls into this
category of endeavors will ensure the internal excitement that comes
from within and is not dependent on what occurs externally. The
second thing is to look at what we think and believe that does not
allow us to do what optimizes that fulness of being and/or creates a
fulness of life within our being. Often we find things in life that
truly excite us at the depth of our being but we fail to do what
truly excites us because of some judgement our
mind holds about what
excites us. If we deny what excites us, we will be denying the very
flow of energy we need to create. The more we can live in an
internal excitement, the greater creative power and ability we will
access.
Whether done in the conscious or unconscious
mind, we rearrange the
elements of creation to release energy to create what we desire. The
goal of the Energy Generation Step is to bring into our conscious
awareness the subconscious aspects of our being that allow us to get
excited about what we desire to create. It that awareness we can
then look to see how to rearrange both our internal and external
world to excite ourselves even more to have the
passion to create.
In many ways it will appear will are creating of something from
“no-thing-ness.” It appears we are creating energy and
passion where
there was none before. In reality we are not creating something from
nothing. Rather we are just rearranging that which exists as
potential into an actual manifestation. It is not really different
that taking the potential energy source in any physical fuel such as
oil, coal, gas and the like and extracting the energy. The only
difference here is we access the energy that lies as a potential
accessible for release within our own
energy consciousness and how
we have
structured our belief system to allow or not allow our
passion to flow.
What does need to be understood is that the existing seen and unseen
world, including what we think and believe, is what is determining
how much energy resides in the realm of pure potentiality of
energy consciousness and that which is manifested as Creation. To access
and change the amount of energy that exists in manifested physical
Creation, that is accessing the pure potentiality, requires physical
Creation to change in some way. We are part of physical Creation. We
are the conduit for accessing the potential that lies in energy
consciousness. We in someway will need to change to be that conduit
to carry a greater flow of energy if we wish the potential of what
is possible to be accessed. If we are not willing to accompany and
become the associated changes then we will not be able to access the
pure potentiality. As such, the energy generation step is all about
changing ourselves and our environment as described within such
concepts as annihilation - union or coming together of essential
components - sacrifice - single point focus - Cauldron of Creation -
masculine and feminine joining - rainmaker - chaos.
Energy generation process
(Top)
Although we may not be aware of
exactly what we do when we rearrange what we think and believe, but
in reality we uniting complements
joining the masculine and feminine aspects for it is the
tension which gives rise to the energy for creation results from the
separation of the
masculine and
feminine. Their joining, in turn, is
accompanied by the
annihilation of an inner and outer forms
analogous to the
annihilation of opposites
as in a particle and antiparticle coming to release the energy for a
new creation.
As used here the word annihilated can be seen in one of two ways
depending on whether we see creation as a rearranging of existing
forms or the creation arising out of a “no-thing-ness.” Annihilation
seen as rearranging existing forms means that each opposite or
complement is consumed, eaten and digested in some way to either
supply the energy for the new creation or assimilated into the new
creation much the was we use food in our bodies. Annihilation for
creations arising out of a “no-thing-ness” is seen as the opposites
or complements coming together and dissolving into a “no-thing-ness”
or returning to a state of free and unbounded energy to be available
for a new creation.
At first glance there appears to be three ways for the energy of
creation to be generated. One is to rearrange our inner world to
create
passion to create. In this case it is much like the way a
rocket carries it own energy. We draw the energy to create from
within ourselves and do not depend on outside sources. This first
way to create gives rise to the of
ego no matter how noble or
profound what we desire to create is for it is based on what the “I
wants and desires.” The second is to access the energy and passion
to create from an focus outside ourselves. We draw from our
environment in some way what we need to instill a passion which grow
and unfold our creation. This gives rise to the concept of the
muse
and the need for our creative energy to be somehow
grounded or
focused externally. To generation the energy for
creation/Creation
using either of these two ways is to experience separation form the
source/Source of creation/Creation. Each of these ways will cause us
to experience ourselves as somehow incomplete.
The third way is to realize the inner and outer are connected. It is
to allow an annihilation between aspects of the inner and outer
world such that they are transformed to become part of the new
creation. This third way is to realize the inner and outer are not
separated and
the creation and its environment are integrally linked
to each other. It is here the true oneness of
creation/Creation is
experienced. It is here we have the possibility of stepping into the
true depth and breadth of our creative power. It is here we find the
wholeness. Here we find we are never removed from the
source/Source
of
creation/Creation and experience a wholeness and completeness
within our being. Here the
ego is shattered and although the
muse
and/or a
ground point or focus will probably still exist, one does
not see themselves separate form what lies outside themselves and
what calls forth their creative energy and
creative passion.
Although we may think we can rearrange our inner world and our outer
world independently of each other, ultimately they are connected.
Although we may not be aware of it, for every internal change there
will be corresponding outer changes We cannot make inner changes
without affecting how we respond to the world. Similarly for every
external change there will be inner changes. As the external world
changes it causes us to respond in a different way. The real
question is, “Do we allow our inner changes drive the external world
we experience, do we allow the external world to determine what we
experience in our inner world, or do we realize the inner and outer
are connected realizing our outer world is only giving us the
experiences we desire at some level of our being in our inner
world?”
Within the
creativity perspective, the focus is on understanding the
connection between the inner and the outer. It doesn’t matter if we
become a light unto ourselves or we a catalyzed by a
muse or the
search for the
beloved/Beloved. It is recommended energy generation
be done in the awareness the inner and outer are connected.. Even if
we are a light unto ourselves, we still need a focus external for
our actions. Similar, although we may be catalyzed by a muse or seek
the beloved/Beloved, all we are really doing is accessing a part
within ourselves reflected in the muse or we seek within ourselves
what we see in the beloved/Beloved.
The easiest way to see how this interconnection works and how energy
is released in
annihilation of an inner and outer form is the
reverse of the
pair production phenomenon using the paper cut out
analogy found in the topic “Implications of Pair Production in Our
Creative Endeavors,” The
energy for creation ultimately arises from the annihilation of the
inner and it corresponding outer.
The
pair production phenomenon provides us an analogy to see how
something (mass) is created out of nothing (energy with no rest
mass). The production of the particle and antiparticle that arises
our of the pair production phenomenon also provides an
analogy
through the paper cutout of seeing how our inner world of
consciousness can be reflected to manifest in form in the outer
world of energy. As such, the reverse of the pair production
phenomenon, the
annihilation of particles, allows us to see how our
inner world and outer world can merge to create the necessary energy
to form the new creation.
In the
creative/creation process part, if not all of the parts, are
annihilated and return to a state of “no-thing-ness” from which a
new creation, a new from can arise. The energy released in the
annihilation become the creation. The Creation you and I experience
is a weave of an infinite number of parts and many times removed
form the specific aspect of consciousness which separates itself and
returns to a wholeness through annihilation. As such, we do not see
the complete annihilation of things that interact to form new
creation unless we pay close attention to what changes internally
and externally as we move through a creative endeavor. Further
discussion on annihilation of the inner and the outer is provided in
the topic “Annihilation of inner and outer component parts.”
An initial quantity of
energy
(Top)
One important note needs to be
made here about the energy generation for a creation. Energy
generation is about the arrangement and movement of objects in
relationship to each other. What this means is that each creation
unfolds with a given initial amount of energy which flows toward
some
ground point where it is dissipated. When the flow is
dissipated, the experience of the creation ends. If you wish to use
the
rain-river analogy for creation, the initial amount of energy is
determined by the height of the mountains on which the rain falls.
To sustain a creation, there will have to be some arrangement of
objects that allow for a continued generation of energy. Relative to
the
masculine and feminine joining
this means that the
masculine
will have to continually be focused on the
feminine and yet never be
able to fully merge with it. If they merge, there would be an
annihilation and that aspect of the masculine and feminine pair
would be gone. However, if the masculine and feminine continued to
dance with each other and never fully coming together, there will be
a seemingly endless supply of energy generated. However, other parts
of the environment would have to be transformed to allow the
particular masculine and feminine pair to continue their dance. In
this case the arrangement in the environment would be supplying the
initial quantity of energy.
Experiencing the energy
generation - an experience of chaos
(Top)
Creative process takes us into the
unknown. The creation process creates new experiences that have not
been previously experienced,
mind and its current thinking and
beliefs will be of limited usefulness. The realization and
experience of this energy being released is
chaos. It is the dissolution of the old form into the new. As
such the transformation process and the accompanying annihilations
appears to mind to be vary chaotic, unpredictable and unknown.
Within the creative process, and hence in any creative endeavor,
there is a chaos as aspects of the past are dismantled and/or
destroyed to make room for the new creation to unfold. This chaos
and destruction is inherent to the creative process and will occur
to one degree or another, in one form or another.
Additionally, Creation occurs at many different levels
simultaneously. At each and every level the existing creation must
dissolve back into its component parts only to be recast into a new
form. As
beings of infinite dimensions, there will always be a part
of ourselves dissolving and being recast. If we are creating, there
will always be aspects of our life that are chaotic and seemingly in
turmoil. There is nothing wrong with this. It is part of the
process.
Chaos is part of the creative process and will always exist
to some extent. The chaos of this creativity can occur inside
yourself, external to you or both inside and external to you
depending on what it is you are trying to creating. So you can
expect to chaos to enter that area of your life or you actions that
are truly creative.
Overlay this
chaos, the
multidimensional aspects of Creation, and
accompanying destructions with the unknown all of one’s worst fears
can be projected into, or onto, the creative endeavor. The
transition from new to old always has this element of chaos and any
chaotic situation always brings a certain level of anxiety if not
outright fear. The
anxiety of creation in this chaotic period will
always fuel the
anxiety of the unknown. It takes courage and
strength of will to hold to an intention and to not doubt when
mind
has no way to fully understand what is happening.
It is what occurs in the
Cauldron of Creation as we feel the heat
requires to dissolve the existing bonds and attachments. This
stripping away can be experienced as a
dark night of the soul. Yet,
as this bound creative energy is released and enthuses our body we
may literally feel a heat or warmth and/or experienced as euphoric
feeling described as the
Kundalini or Kundalini rising. There is an
extremely good chance you will feel extremely sexual and a sexuality
you have never felt before in the flow of your
creative life energy
as it breaks free of the past confinements created by the
mind.
Because there is such heat and seeming fire in this reformation
process calling what we experience as the Cauldron of Creation is
the most appropriate analogy.
The particular thought that we need to carry with us from this
discussion is that
chaos and the feeling of chaos will be present in
every creative endeavor. It is natural and inherent in the process.
If we can’t feel the chaos in some way within our physical being we
have probably sufficiently numbed our feelings or we have denied our
feelings in some way. But it is our feeling were our creative power
lies.
Calmness
in the chaos of the creation process
(Top)
Since we are
multidimensional
being and the
creative/creation process is occurring on all of these
levels at different rates and at different points in the process,
there are periods if not a general feeling of anxiety that comes
from the chaos of the energy generation. If we have not numbed what
we feel there is always something we can feel anxious about and
something to feel joyful about. Many desire a feeling of calmness so
they seek a way maintain such a state of being.
In the creative process there are four places where a calm and
stillness can be seen to exist. Only one of these four places is
enduring. As discussed in the topic, “Dance of creation/Creation,”
the
creative/creation process itself is and outflow of energy into
separate arising from desire and reuniting and flowing back into a
wholeness as the desire is satisfied. One place of stillness is at
the moment before a creation emerges. That is all has dissolved and
the has not yet begun to form. But this calmness and quiet is
somewhat of an illusion because one is not observing the complete
process. It is only a moment and this moment is better described as
a turning point where the inward flow of energy to dissolution of
the existing form has stopped and the now form for the new creation
has not yet begun to form.
The second place of stillness is where there is no energy to create.
Either all the energy is fixed in a given form or all the energy has
been some how removed and become bound. Here there is no creation
for all is frozen and the consciousness has gone to
sleep. If it
were to awaken, simply the focus of awakening would cause energy to
flow. As a conscious awareness, we can never experience this state
of perfect stillness where there is no flow of energy for
consciousness is a flow of energy which has awaken to existing. It
may not be aware of its own existence, but it nevertheless is aware
of existing.
The third is actually a combination of the first two. This third
place is a consciously created state of a place of
no-thing-ness
where consciousness removes the energy to intentionally hold a
stillness. This place of calmness actually the space or the empty
container in which a new creation can form. Many esoteric traditions
recommends one focuses their attention and awareness to create a
calm state of “nothingness” within one’s being like a calm, ripple
less pool of water or the space between thoughts. It is to focus on
that space before the new creation unfold From a
creative
perspective, the most profound way to view this state is to
understanding that silence and nothingness does not mean nothing is
happening, it only means you are not focusing on the whole creative
process and in some way denying or discarding the larger process
that is occurring.
The fourth place of calmness in the chaos is to become a
detached
witness. It is to watch the annihilation process of which we are
apart standing outside the process. Here one views the creation
which is occurring in their life much like the
analogy
of the paper cutout.
Although they are within the creative process and capable of feeling
what is occurring, they know any creation arises from the material
of creation to produce the object and a hole. That is,
any creation
arises from the fabric of creation to create particle and a hole.
If we view form either
the hole or the object, we will experience chaos as part of the
whole is dissolved to form a new creation. However, if we take the
perspective to look at both the hole and the object as one, we can
always in a place of calmness for we stand outside the chaos. We
stand outside of that which is forming and recombining. Our
mind may
panic and feel frightened at the prospect of the internal changes it
is experience or the external change it see occurring, or we may
feel some anxiety at the destruction which is occurring, we can
nevertheless find great solitude in the realization what we
experience is only consciousness at play with itself and we need not
be pulled into the drama. This awareness can help create an
inner
satisfaction that never runs dry no matter what is happening in the
world. It is this awareness which allows one to freely surrender to
what is occurring and flow with the events as they unfold for they
see the creation process for what it is.

Annihilation
(Top):
Annihilation arise from the fact that
our inner world is reflected
in our outer world. Each
change we make internally is somehow reflected externally. When ever
we make an inner change there is an outer change that will follow.
Similar if an outer change is occurring there will be accompanying
inner changes. Although most of the annihilation process occur at a
subconscious level, we can learn to focus our attention and
awareness on any inner or outer change to know what is happening and
why.
Union
or coming together of essential components
(Top):
Creation is the experience of a flow of energy into and out of form.
As discussed in the topic, “Dance of creation/Creation,” a
separation arises as a result of our desire and a flow of energy is
created as a result of the tension of the separation moving outward
to close that separation. This closure is experienced as the
masculine or
feminine attraction for the other. Consequently,
every
creative act is a experience of sexuality. In the masculine
connecting with the feminine as the poles of a battery, there is an
annihilation which occurs and a flow of energy is created that gives
rise to a new creation.
Sacrifice
(Top):
There is always a
sacrifice in creation. Energy can neither be
created or destroyed. All the energy of Creation is either in a
existing form or flowing into some new form. To create something
new, some of the existing form or existing flow of energy must be
sacrifice for the new creation. The existing form of energy can be
seen as dissolving in the
Cauldron of
/creationCreation
Single point focus
(Top):
When the existing form is dissolved to release the energy into a new
creation there is a fluidity in what can be created. All
possibilities exist in that moment. The form that is created depend
on the focus of our attention and awareness. Holding a
single point
focus allows the energy that is released to flow into the creation
we desire and not be scattered and fragmented by competing
internal
influences and
external influences.
Cauldron of Creation
(Top):
The
Cauldron of
creation/Creation refers to the part of the
creative/creation process where the existing creation is dissolved
and the energy freed to form a new creation. The experience of the
dissolving of the existing creation can be experience as a “heating
up” process or fire such as the fire seen in the
phoenix experience.
If some ways you can say it is the
sacrifice of creation put on the
fire to be burned. If we are unwilling to let go and allow the
changes required by the creative effort to occur we can experience a
dark night of the soul. If we surrender and allow the changes to
occur, we can experience a release and free flow of energy described
by many as a
kundalini experience.
Masculine and feminine
joining
(Top):
The
joining the masculine and feminine aspects of
creation/Creation is what supplies the energy for creation/Creation.
In many ways the masculine and feminine joining is like joining the
terminals of a battery. When the poles are connected an energy
flows. In the
creative/creation process, a tension is created
between consciousness and what the desire it created in the
Conceptual Formation Step. Seeking to
Create the Space is the
masculine thrusting out to join with the
feminine to fulfill that
desire. The
masculine looks for the suitable space and way to
manifest the desire. In creating such a space and the correct
environmental conditions, the masculine is connect to the feminine
aspect of being and a flow of energy results. That flow of energy
unfolds into manifesting an experience of the desired creation.
Rainmaker
(Top):
The
rainmaker is not always present in a creative endeavor. When the
mature nurturing feminine creative energy is available, the
rainmaker is usually unnecessary. In many ways, the creation
rainmaker supplements and complements the feminine presence to bring
it up to a level of the mature nurturing feminine creative energy.
When they are present, they do two things. One is they help to
create the safe and secure space for the free flow of the creative
energy and for the individual’s
creative spirit to freely express
itself in the way it needs to be expressed. The other is they hold
the individual accountable to the intention they created. It is very
easy to become distracted in a creative effort and/or to try to
escape the
anxiety of creation experienced during the transit
through the chaos of the
Cauldron of Creation. The rainmaker help’s
to keep the individual focused especially if the individual faces a
dark night of the soul as the individual’s current world is stripped
away. In essence, the rainmaker is capable of becoming more feminine
that the individual’s inner feminine to nurture what lies in the
individual’s heart. Similarly, they are capable of becoming more
masculine that the individual’s inner masculine to hold the
individual accountable to their truth so as not to become distracted
by the mundane of the world and/or the enculturation of
mind.
Chaos
(Top):
Since energy can neither be created or destroyed some of the
existing world must be destroyed and
sacrificed to both free the
energy and create the space for the new creation. The destruction of
parts of the existing world is experienced as chaos.
Chaos in the
creative/creation process is inescapable. Although it may be
experiences as an
anxiety of creation one can become a
detached
witness to remain in a
place of calmness during the
creative/creation process.
Establishing internal
harmony
(Top):
To create anything we desire it is essential that we have both
clarity of intent and
single point
focus for our activities.
Internal harmony is having all aspects of our being align with what
we desire to create to help create that single point focus. When we
undergo the
creative/creation process it provides an unparalleled
opportunity to create an internal harmony. It is done in the easiest
way possible through a clarity of intention established in the
Conceptual Formation Step and carried as a single point focus
throughout the creative/creation process especially into and during
the energy generation phase. Clarity of intention carried into the
Energy Generation step help us to create and “solidify” that single
point focus of our creative endeavors.
Forgetting and becoming
lost
(Top):
An important part of the
creative/creation process is the
need to
forget and
becoming lost in the creation. If we do not become lost
in the creation we will not fully experience what we have created.
Similarly, if we remember exactly how we create what we do, we will
attempt to change the creation whenever there is an aspect we may
not enjoy. Memory is of
mind. Being overwhelmed in the feelings
which arise in the energy generating process takes that out of mind.
Being out of mind, the chaos of creation, the
anxiety of creation
and the annihilation of aspects of the existing form of allow us to
forget how we created our experience. The overwhelming feelings of
the
dark night of the soul and/or the euphoria of the
Kundalini in
the flow of released energy allows us to become lost in the
experience of the creation. These phenomenon, in turn, only prepare
us to fully experience the creation we desire.
