Creating a flow of
creative energy (Top)
Creation is about energy. In
particular it is about an
ebb and flow of energy into and out of form. The topic “How
does creation get started,” introduces how this process starts.
It start with a thought which is held. But more appropriately, a
thought held as an intention and/or desire with some passion for it
to manifest.
creation/Creation is the experience of a flow of energy which
arise in seeking the
fulfillment of a desire. Whenever we truly want something we
cause or create a flow of energy to arise within us that energizes
us to act to fulfill that want. It is this flow of energy that we
experience which gives rise to the experience of creation as
creation and animates our life. In particular it is the experience
of fulfilling the desire of consciousness.
In the
creative/creation process, the separation of consciousness from
what it desires creates a tension. This tension can be seen as the
opposite poles of a battery. As long as our consciousness holds a
desire and is unable to act on fulfilling that desires, there is a
tension within one’s being. If we are open to what we feel we can
feel that tension and it can be so intense as to give rise to pain.
In turn, we either act on that desire or we seek to numb or suppress
that pain and end up developing some type of addictive pattern.
In any case, there is an energy stored in the separation of
consciousness from what it desires. It is here in this tension that
it can be said that consciousness creates
something out of nothing. Where there was no desire and no
tension, consciousness creates a desire and a corresponding tension
which, if acted up, allows an energy to flow. In reality it appears
as thought we are creating something from nothing only because of
our
chosen perspective causes us to experience an
unseen realm. What consciousness does is simply rearranges what
it thinks and believes to create a push or pull within our being in
such a way that we have the potential to feel an energy flow as the
passion to create. It is like the discussion in “How
does creation get started” that we create the potential for a
flow of energy.
In looking at this tension between consciousness and what it desires
as opposite poles of a battery, we only need to connect the
terminals and we will cause an energy to flow. This flow of energy
is the energy which gives rise to creation. The terminals of this
“creation battery” can be seen as the
masculine and feminine aspects of being. When joined or coupled
an energy flows. When separated the energy stops.
In talking about the
masculine and
feminine joining, it is almost impossible to discuss the topic
without becoming biased or influenced by our social, cultural and
personal understanding and experiences with the masculine and
feminine aspects and the joining of the male and female in
sexuality. Our understanding of the terms masculine and feminine are
tremendously influences by how we have experienced them played out
by our selves and members of the same and opposite sex. In this
regard, it needs to be understood there are what can be called two
levels to the joining of the masculine and feminine creative
aspects. One level is on the energy and consciousness level. The
other is on the physical level where the masculine and feminine are
embodied in the human body.
In physical Creation the energy generated in the joining of the
masculine and feminine aspects of creation is a bit difficult to see
exactly how the masculine and feminine aspects operate to generate
energy for several reasons. One reason is the energy generated that
we experience is the result of joining the
inner masculine and an inner feminine which resided in both the
male and female bodies. As such, our own thinking and beliefs often
mask how one or the other or both are operating in any one moment.
A second reason is that the body itself, whether male or female is
actually an expression of the
feminine aspect of creation. The body is the result of a flow of
energy unfolding within physical Creation. In there regard there are
aspects of the body which are actually the expression of the
feminine aspect of creation of which we are unaware yet are
influencing our actions and decision. The problem is the flow of
energy sustaining the body becomes entwined with the flow of energy
generated from the joining of the
inner masculine and inner feminine. Often it is hard to discern
which from which for ultimately the goal is to have these two flows
of energy aligned. .
The third reason, and probably primary reason, is that the
masculine and
feminine aspect is not what most people think it is when we say
joining the masculine and feminine. Most tend to think about the
joining of a male and female body in sexuality. Although the
masculine and feminine aspects are present, they are masked by the
complexity of the human sexuality and our programming and
experiences about sex. The web site “Creative
Sexuality” is provided specifically to address the issue
associated with our creative power,
our creative spirit and human sexuality. Those issue are not
addressed here.
The masculine and feminine
joining at an energy level (Top)
On the
energy consciousness level, the
masculine aspect of creation is embodied and comes into
existence in any act of consciousness. The
feminine aspect of creation is embodied in the energy flow and
comes into existence whenever there is a flow path, a coupling if
you wish, for the energy to move to create and sustain a creation.
It is the joining of the masculine aspect and feminine aspect of
creation/Creation that supplies the energy for
creation/Creation, which we experience as the passion to create. The
masculine and feminine is like joining the terminals of the
“creation battery.” As such,
any creative act is an experience of sexuality and you may even
feel sexual when experienced as a human.
The
masculine aspect of the creative process is any thrusting by
consciousness to create, to mold reality into a new form. The
masculine act is to cause
energy to localized into a given form. The thrusting by the
masculine to create what it desires creates a separation from what
is. That separation creates a tension between the
masculine and
feminine that fuels or energizes the creation. It is the joining
with the feminine that the energy which fueled the separation is
released. The completion of the masculine act is to establish the
connection with the feminine for the energy of creation to dissipate
or dissolve the form to flow out of separation and back into
wholeness. The masculine must hold that focus on, and/or connection
with, the feminine to keep the energy flowing until the creation is
finished.
The feminine is the flow of energy in accordance to the situation
created by the masculine act. The energy flows to provide the
desired experience of creation as it dissipates and returns to the
source. The process is
analogous to the form of a river being lost as it flows and
dissipates in the sea. The feminine aspect of the creative process
is seen as the nurturing and sustaining aspect of consciousness
which holds the form of the new creation in such a way that the new
creation is allowed to grow and unfold according to its own nature
within the environment it finds itself. The feminine aspect is the
return portion of the outward masculine thrust.
To thrust with the masculine is to create separation. To flow with
the feminine is to create wholeness and remove separation. Without
the masculine connecting with the feminine separation continues. The
separation is experienced as some type of a longing. It is expressed
as the longing for something external to itself to complete itself.
It is this longing which causes the desire to create to arise. It
causes a desire to seek that which will satisfy the longing. The
longing creates a tension. The greater the tension the greater the
energy and passion to create that can be generates.
It is the passion or energy for creation which ultimate arises from
the longing that is made available in the joining of, or a coupling
of, the
masculine and
feminine creative aspect. For any creative endeavor we undertake
the energy and passion we feel is what allows us to create what we
desire. The energy is allowed to flow to dissipation only as the
result of a joining of the
masculine and
feminine. All our creative energy and passion ultimately arises
in the longing to join the
inner masculine and inner feminine.
What is important to note here is the joining of the
masculine and
feminine at an energetic level is not the type and kind of
joining one thinks about is human sexuality or even the physical
connection a wire makes connecting the two terminals of a battery.
Rather the joining and coupling is the way consciousness is able to
focus its attention and awareness to “ground” the flow of energy or
to create a flow of energy. Any flow of energy needs a “low” point
in which to flow. Exactly how consciousness creates the low point
within what it thinks and believe does not matter. What matters is
there is a way of thinking and believing which causes a flow of
energy, a passion, to arise within our being that causes us to act
to create whatever it is we desire. The
Conceptual Formation Step and the
Creating the Space Step of the
creative/creation process is where we arrange both our internal
and external world to create that “low” point which will ground our
energy. The
concept of the beloved/Beloved, the
muse,
oaths of loyalties, the object of focus in a meditation such as a
mantra, image or sutra, and the like are all ways that are used
to create the “low” point into which we can direct the flow of our
creative life energy.
Some
thoughts and considerations in the masculine and feminine
joining (Top)
Annihilation (Top):
It is the tension which results from the separation of the
masculine and
feminine is what gives rise to the energy for creation. Their
joining and the subsequent annihilation of an inner and outer forms
analogous to the
annihilation of the particle-antiparticle opposites
release the energy for a new creation. Although we may not be aware
of exactly what we do when we rearrange what we think and believe to
generate the energy to create, but, in reality, we uniting the
masculine and feminine complements and
annihilating a part of our inner and outer worlds. What is
annihilated is the form or arrangement of the internal and external
world that caused the separation to come into existence. The flow of
energy for any creation must come from somewhere. There will always
be a
sacrifice for creation of the existing form to free the energy
for the new creation. What this means is we can expect any feelings
of sexuality acted up to cause a sacrifice of some part of our inner
and outer world. This fact, and the awareness of this fact, if
properly used, can allow
sexuality to be use as a tool to create enlightenment.
Creating wholeness
(Top):
In essence, consciousness separates itself from wholeness through
desire. Desire is the
raw material of creation. In holding a desire, consciousness
experiences itself separate from what it desires. The
masculine act is to thrusts out by choosing to hold and purse
the fulfillment of a desire. It seeks the
feminine aspect to which it can connect that will fulfill the
desire. It is in seeking fulfillment of the desire the separation is
bridged and the masculine and feminine are joined. The energy of
creation then flows giving rise to the experience of fulfilling the
desire. In this regard to be in the
masculine aspect of creation is to thrust out to end the
separation of consciousness created by its desire.
A turning point
(Top):
The joining of the
masculine and
feminine represent a turning point within a the
creative/creation process which gave rise to masculine and
feminine aspects which are joining. It represents the point of
reversing an outward flow of energy flowing into separation. It is
represented by the
annihilation of the existing form, whole or in part, giving rise
to that outward flow. The inward flow allows the creation of a new
form and unfold. The new form is determined by the created
seed condition and the inner and outer environments in which the
energy is released. Given the equivalence of energy and
consciousness, the flow of energy release is a new life that can
awaken and become a life of its own or awaken and an aspect of the
creation through which it flows.
The intention for our
life (Top):
There is a flow of energy that sustains us. This flow of energy
arises in response to a consciousness seeking fulfillment of a
desire. That desire is the
intention for our life. There is a desire of some consciousness
that will be fulfilled by living our life in alignment with the
intention for our life. Satisfaction in life arise in the
fulfillment of that intention. When we are unable to live the
intention for our life we can expect to feel the pain of the
consciousness that holds the desire for we are that consciousness or
an aspect of that consciousness expressing itself.
Our bodies is the feminine aspect
manifesting (Top):
Our body is the result of a flow of energy expressing itself within
physical Creation. As such our body is the manifestation of the
feminine. In this regard, we should care for our body as we would
care for the
feminine aspect of creation. She needs to be given a safe and
secure space in which to nurture her creation. Simply we need a safe
and secure space to allow the body to express itself and what it
feels for the creation sustain by the body are the experiences it
has in life.
Joining the terminals of
the “creation” battery (Top):
It is said above that the
masculine and
feminine aspect of creation functions like the terminals of a
batter. The holding of a desire creates two poles of a “creation”
battery. A tension is created when consciousness is separated from
what it desires much the way a tension is created between the
positive and negative poles of a battery. When the poles are
connected an energy flows. However, the masculine and feminine
joining is not a joining in the way a wire is connect to a battery.
The joining is accomplished by and through the focus of our
attention and awareness. Our focus acts as the wire connecting the
terminals.
Seeking fulfillment of the desire is the connection of the masculine
to the feminine aspect of creation. An energy is generated in
seeking the desire. The masculine act of creation is to thrust into
creation to unite consciousness with its desire. To thrust out in
seeking to fulfill the desire is the masculine connecting with the
feminine. The masculine looks for the suitable space and way to
manifest the desire. In find or creating such a space with the
correct environmental conditions, the masculine becomes
connected 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. That connection causes a flow of energy to
arise that is experienced as creation. In time, an
annihilation of the existing form occurs to complete the flow of
energy and the energy is fully returned to support a new creation.
Dealing
with the infinitely dimensional nature of Creation
(Top)
Creation is
multidimensional and infinitely dimensional. In any one moment
there are an infinite number of
masculine and
feminine aspects connecting with varying amounts of energy and
at various points in the process. They are all overlaid to give rise
to creation.
We, as individual humans, are an ongoing creative process, a
creative living process, within layers of on going processes -
layers above us and layers below us. We are influenced by the layers
above us and below us as we influence them. Hence, there will
probably always be an
masculine and
feminine joining occurring somewhere in our life. Additionally,
as an awake consciousness within a
creativity machine, we continually create new flows of energy.
It is hard to discern exactly which flow of energy is giving rise
to, or dominating, the experience we have. As such it is hard to
discern a single process and see it for what it really is without
cross over from other overlaying
creative/creation processes.
To fully understand the joining of the
masculine and
feminine aspects of creation and remove overlaying
creative/creation processes to see a single process, there are
five aspects to consider since often one or more of these aspects
are overlapping.
One is to look at the joining purely as part of an energetic
process. That is, to see the process as the analogously equivalent
of coupling of opposite poles of a battery created by an outward
thrusting of energy and an inward flowing of energy. In the coupling
of the
masculine and
feminine, the connection is made to allow the reverse flow of
energy to being. That is, the flow reverse from an outward thrust
into separation into a inward flow toward wholeness.
The second is to become aware of how we personally experience the
masculine and
feminine jointing. That is, being
multidimensional beings within a multidimensional Creation,
there are
creative/creation processes that, whole or in part, gave rise to
the reason or reasons why we are in a male or female body. What
needs to be understood, is there are many things that our awareness
desire to experience in life. In choosing to have an physical
experience, there was the question as to whether a male or female
body would be the better vehicle given all the experiences one
desired to have. For some experiences it didn’t matter if the body
was male or female. For others, a particular body type is essential.
As we move into those experiences where the energy shifts from a
outward thrust of separation seeking the experience to having the
experience, feelings of sexuality can be expected to arise.
We will experience feelings of sexuality if a masculine - feminine
joining occurs in one of those processes. The greater the process
contributed to our being male or female, the greater the sexuality
we will feel. In many ways the sexuality one feels is the desire for
a new creation, a new way of life. The question is whether or not
one is free to engage the new life that is created. The struggle
many people have with sexuality is the new life that it causes to
enter one existing life. With or without sexuality, if we are
unwilling to let go of what needs to be
annihilated in the process we can experience a
dark night of the soul.
The third is to become aware of how we experience any sexuality we
do feel in the time frames before, during and after joining for that
information will tell us where the energy is free or not free to
flow into the new creation.
The fourth is to become aware of how we experience the joining of
the
inner masculine and inner feminine. In extreme cases it can be
experienced as the
Kundalini rising.
The fifth is to become aware of how to use the
masculine and
feminine joining to create a new flow of energy. This is a topic
address in Creative Sexuality.
