There is an inherent calmness
within the flow of energy giving rise to any creation we experience
as it
flows to dissipation. This calmness accompanies the
inner satisfaction
and can be obtained by
surrendering and aligning with the flow of energy giving rise to
the creation.
Our destiny and
our birthright are to be conscious creators of the experiences
we have. However, life for many life for many feels like a roller
coaster ride with never ending ups an downs. Many have learned to
turn to meditation and similar practices to calm themselves and find
piece and satisfaction in life. However, when we are
open to feeling, set a
clear intention for what we desire to experience and then
surrender to the flow of energy giving rise to that experience we
can experience a profound calmness within our being as deep, if not
deeper than, as can be obtain any other way.
When we create what we desire, there is a deep satisfaction in
manifesting that creation. In becoming the creator through a clear
intention and surrender to an experience of our own creation we are
fulfilling our inherent nature. We are being who we are. We are
being true to ourselves. We are exercising our power as a creative
being that we are. That truth provides the profound calmness of
being. The calmness arises whenever our
creative life energy is free to
dissipate in the experience we desire to have.
Often it feel difficult and tiring as we struggle against the
obstacles in our life. However, if we are willing to surrender to
the
flow of energy we create in the intention we set, there is a
calmness and
inner satisfaction
that exists throughout the
creative process. That is not to say there will be no
difficulties to face and/or disappointments as we have our seemingly
false starts as we gain that
minimum set of requisite experience to create what we desire.
But, no matter what we face we will still have a calmness and inner
satisfaction. There is a knowing that this is were we need to be and
what we need to do to create what we desire. The more we create in
alignment with the
intention for our life, the deeper the calmness and the greater
the inner satisfaction we can obtain.
Whenever we create from the truth of our being, there is a calmness
and centeredness that is stronger than its desire of
mind can give. It create within itself a
single point focus for our life. It is very hard for the mundane
world to distract us from such a focus. Many who mediate are able to
reach a deep inner peace such that they are unwilling to leave their
meditation to go into the world. Here, when we create from the truth
of our being, we are actively in the world and unwilling to leave
our creative effort no matter what the world is calling us to do.
Often individual who create from this level end up walking the
left hand path and just don’t quite fit in with the norm. Yet,
the alienation is welcome for it allow the creator to continue with
their creative efforts without distraction.
As our
creative life energy flows into the experience we have, it
expands into the experience. If we allow ourselves to have the
experience without interference of mind, this expansion can be felt
as both a
fulness of within our being and a calmness within our being. If
we are free to experience the flow of our creative life energy into
the experience we have in the moment, the
energy dissipates and we feel both the
fulness of being and calmness that results from the free
expansion of the energy much like the river dissipating in the
ocean.
However, if our
mind is occupied and occupied in its own thinking, we are not
free to fully feel the flow, our
creative life energy is not fully dissipated in the experience..
We will not feel the complete
fulness of being or the calmness. There are two reasons why this
occurs when our mind is occupied or caught in its own thinking.
One is that our
mind by what it chooses to think is creating a new flow of
energy, or rather diverting the existing flow of energy by, and
through, its thinking. The other is that we are often attached to
the experience in some way. For example, if we hold a judgement of
some type about the experience. Then the energy is not free to flow
but some of it remains bound in the attachments. This also can give
rise to
pain.
Establishing a calmness within our being in surrendering to the flow
of energy takes us back to the source/Source where our experiences
first take form. All creations flow from the same source/Source. In
aligning and surrendering with the flow of energy giving rise to our
experience, we have direct access to the source/Source.
How we experience that source is another question
Our problem in
surrendering to the flow of energy is that the flow of energy
which animates the events we experience in our life from the unseen
realm and is not something discernable by
mind. It is only through feelings we can align with this flow.
For many, since mind does not understand what is being sensed, to
feel this energy creates anxiety within their being. This unseen
step of the
creation process where the
unseen is orchestrating the pieces for our new creation is often
perceived by mind as chaos in our life, the
chaos of creation. If we numb what we feel or deny the unseen as
we do when we view from within the creation and focus on the silent
space between our thoughts, we can experience a calmness. However in
doing do, we risk creating an addiction for the calmness does not
arise from the flow of energy
flowing to dissipation Rather it arises from the perspective we
create with mind.
Thinking in itself can become an addition in such instances
including our
meditation practice.
Calmness of meditation and the
calmness within surrendering to our creation
The different between the calmness
found in meditation and the calmness found within the
creative/creation process is that of endurance. Typically, when
meditation is done, we remove ourselves from our normal life, focus
our attention and awareness in the manner prescribed by our
meditation teacher and meditate. Many find that when they leave
meditation they cannot sustain the calmness they achieve and take it
into the world. The calmness slowly or quickly dissipates as we
enter life and have to deal with all that arises.
In meditation, when you allow your thoughts to dissipate rather than
holding and/or acting on any though, the
mind stops injecting itself into the flow of energy within your
being. As you sit unattached to what you experience you are free to
experience the calmness as our energy dissipates in the experience
of meditating as a created experience. The calmness we experience
arises not from the meditation itself but the experience of
meditation. But we can create this calmness in anything we do if we
surrender to the experience we have. However most cannot do that
for we judge the experience we have as not something we created nor
want to experience..
If you think about the meditation , it is really only another
created state of
mind. The focus of meditation may be to get out of mind but what
we experience is a state created by mind. To get out of mind, one
must move into what they feel and become lost if feeling allowing
the feeling to carry them into the
most creative state of being. Most experience this most creative
state a spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and
exploration of ourselves and our world.
The calmness that arise from within the
creative/creation process is different. It is with us as long as
we stay aligned with the flow of then giving rise to the create we
experience. That is, we do not fight what is unfolding. We may not
like it but as a creator, we know at some level of our being we
created it or agreed to participate in it. We realize that if we do
not like it we simply change our intention and look to
surrender to the flow of energy of our new intention. As side
above, in being the creator, we claim
our birthright and fulfill our destiny. In the fulfillment of
that destiny there is a great
inner satisfaction
and calmness.
It needs to be realized that
creation/Creation
is an experience. This internal calmness is achieve in doing and
being a creator experiencing its creation. Calmness can be achieved
in sitting and meditating if we realize we are only creating and
experience of a particular creation - that of meditating. The point
is the calmness most achieve in meditation does not arise from the
meditation. Rather it is the fruit of the experience created by
mind. It is like painting a picture. There is great satisfaction
in the picture when it is done. But painting the picture is seem as
work. So too the way many meditations are done. It is work to
meditate to achieve the state of calmness. If the meditation is work
in any way, the calmness one achieve is only a fruit and will not
last.
The calmness should arise in what we are doing. It is like painting.
The joy should be found in painting whether or not we every complete
the painting. If there is no joy, calmness and
inner satisfaction
in what we do, then whatever we create is the fruit of our
experience and will not last. The “trick’ is to find the joy,
calmness and inner satisfaction in what we do. That joy, calmness
and inner satisfaction is to become the creator experiencing their
creation.
To find this place of calmness in anything we choose to create it is
simply a matter of creating a
clear intention. Then discern and
surrender to the flow of energy which arises from that intention
as a
single point focus for our life. As a single point focus, we
look to all the decisions we make in life to see if they are taking
us toward or away from what we desire to experience. To remain in
that flow, we will need to become the
detached witness and realize all that we are experiencing is
only carrying us toward our desired experience. We cannot take what
happens to us personally or we will simply be pulled into the
mundane of the world and lose focus.
