It is stated on the Releasing Your
Unlimited Creativity Home Page: The Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity technology can be used, and has been used, for health
related issues. However, no claim is made about the effectiveness of
this technology in managing and/or dealing with your health issues
The Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity is based on a different
perspective than that found in the healing professions. It is based
on a creativity perspective and the focus is quite different than a
healing perspective.
A healing perspective (Top)
Health refers to the general
condition of the mind or the body. To be healthy refers to the
soundness of a living organism. It is to have vigor of the mind and
body and to be free from defect or disease.
To heal, and/or healing, is to make healthy. It is about restoring
health or the soundness of mind and/or body. It about repairing,
mending or to bring about the remedy or cure of a wound, disease or
some other “unhealthy” condition. On a non physical level, it is to
cleanse of sin, grief, worry, and the like. To heal can be seen as
to purify or to make right something that is considered wrong or
incorrect within one’s being or body.
The concept of healing and having a healing perspective is
essentially about looking to restore, fix, or otherwise repair
something which is judged as broke or has fallen to less than a
minimum level of performance. In this regard, healing is a judgement
of mind that the condition that is being faced is somehow
unacceptable and there are better, more acceptable conditions. Often
a healing perspective look outward, outside of one’s own
consciousness, to see what caused or is causing the undesired
condition. The cause of the undesired condition is usually seen as
arise from without rather than from within one’s own being. In may
ways a healing perspective is looking for that magic “bullet,” pill,
therapy or modality that makes everything just the way we want it.
The creativity perspective
on healing (Top)
An overview of the
creativity perspective on
health and related issues is that whatever condition we
experience is no better or no worse than any other condition.
Creatively, any one experience is no different than any other. We
create whatever we experience. Some are just more enjoyable and
pleasurable than others.
Usually we do not understand how the condition we face in any one
particular moment is only a part of a lager process we face and are
creating. What we judge as health is more often than not a judgement
about what we feel and think is “normal” and/or the “correct” way
things should be and/or that are painful and not something
desirable. It is often a judgment we feel or think one experience is
more favorable than another - that other being what we call an
unhealthy condition. Yet what we call unhealthy is simply another
type and kind of physical experience.
From a creativity perspective, we are perfect creators. We create
through the conscious and subconscious intentions we hold. Each
experience we have is only part of the unfoldment of an intention we
hold. Hence when we are faced with conditions in which we judge as
unhealthy, there is nothing to fix, repair, mend or heal. Rather we
need to create something that better serves what we desire to
experience. Our problem is whether we serve the desires of our
creative spirit and
the intention for our life or our
enculturated mind.
The fact we judge one experience as more acceptable or desirable is
simply our judgment. Within the creativity perspective to heal or
have the desire to heal is seen as creating a condition other than
what is currently being experienced as unhealthy. That is, there is
nothing to fix, mend, repair, make whole, cleanse, purify or to make
right. Rather to heal is to create something different than what is
currently being experienced.
In this regard, to change an existing condition and creating
something new, there is the need to understand how and why we
created the existing condition in the first place. We may have
created it out of ignorance and in unawareness. Or, we may have
created it because there is something we desire to learn or to
experience something in the condition we call an unhealthy
condition. Hence there is the need to look at what gives rises to
the particular conditions we face and why those conditions arose as
opposed to any other.
The creativity perspective is not about fixing something that is
broke. Is sees each of us as perfect creators. Rather it is about
creating something that better serves what we desire to experience.
Healing is something that comes from within. Healing arises from our
ability and desire to create an experience different than the one we
are having and calling unhealthy or calling illness, disease, injury
or wound. The “healing ability,” as to obtain the “healing ability”
or “the ability to heal” we associate with healers, is not something
you can “obtain.” Rather, healing comes from within the individual
and is the manifestation of the creative power within the
individual. We each are quite capable of healing ourselves. There
are individuals such as doctors, therapists, shamans, and the like
that are seen as having healing abilities with themselves or in the
tools they employ in their work to heal others. However, rather than
healing others, what they do is create external conditions that
allow our inherent creative ability to unfold in a way that heals
the condition.
It needs to be realized
Creation is not done alone. We need the other to give us the
experience we desire. The healer is simply giving us the experience
we think we need to have to have the experience we desire. More
often than not, the experience we desire is to be human and
accident, illness, disease and the like are currently part of what
it means to be human. Hence, for many of us, we will need the
assistance of others to heal.
Healing within the creativity perspective ask us to become
responsible for what we experience. It ask us to look to see why we
are creating what we experience and what we need to do to create
something different.
Summary
(Top)
A healing perspective looks
outward to find and address the cause or condition that is causing
the experience we have. The healing perspective does not see us as
perfect as we are.
Healing from a creativity perspective sees us perfect as we are. It
requires one to address the external issue, such a treating a wound
or removing oneself from what appears to be the cause of the pain we
experience. But it also requires one to look within to investigate
what conscious and/or subconscious intention we hold that is giving
rise to the experience we have. It requires us to look within and
ask, “Why would I create such an experience?” It requires us to take
responsibility for what we have created to take responsibility to
create something that better serves who and what we think we are.
