Health as viewed from the
creativity perspective is quite different
than from the
healing perspective and other philosophies of life.
The creative perspective can provide the ultimate link to, and
understanding of, the
mind body connection. However, that link and
understanding does not mean we will cure ourselves with or without
the assistance of traditional and/or non traditional healing
modalities. Although it is possible to heal oneself without the
assistance of a traditional or non traditional healer, whether we
can do so depends on what our
creative spirit desires to experience, that is, the
intention for our life, and how and
why
we have created the condition we wish to heal.
The creativity perspective see
each of us as
an infinitely creative
being. We create the experiences we has by how and what we think and
believe and the choices it makes. For some this is
too much to be
believed that we are the creators of the experiences we have.
Nevertheless, quite simply,
our creative spirit, that flow of
energy
consciousness that energizes our life,
incarnated to have a certain
types and kinds of physical experiences. The experiences desired by
our creative spirit is determined by the
intention for our life.
These experiences may or may not be what our
current mind has come
to want to experience. Additionally, the experiences our creative
spirit desires may be judged as unacceptable or somehow undesirable.
In fact, some of those experiences may be judged by our
mind as
unhealthy conditions.
The difference between
what mind wants and the
creative spirit
desires, in turn, will create a tension within one’s being. That
tension may become so sever that it may result in some level of
pain. Here lies the
gift of pain. There is something the pain is
trying to communicate about the experiences we are having. Unless we
explore the
origins of our pain at the deepest inner levels we will
not understand why we are creating the experiences we have. If we
try and numb the pain or suppress the pain we will most probably end
up in some type and kind of
addictive pattern or behavior. Most of
us end up with a
thinking addiction so as to not feel this tension.
We prefer not to feel how out of alignment the
desires of our
current mind are from the
desires of our creative spirit.
One experience that we either chose to have, or agreed to have, is
that of a human being in this time and place - that is why we are here.
Additionally, we have some overall specific goals or objective to
achieve and/or to have specific type and kind of experiences as a
human. So, the first question we need to face in some way is “What
exactly do I think and believe about what it means to be a human?”
The second is, “What exactly did I incarnate to do and/or experience
as a human?” It is here, in what we think and believe about what it
means to be human and what we incarnated to do, that will determine
if we can heal ourselves or we need the assistance of others. How
much assistance we need, if any, will be determined by the answer
to the question, “What exactly do I desire to experience?” Of
course, the answer to this question has a conscious and a
nonconscious portions. Here in lies the need to make portions of our
nonconscious conscious so as to get at the root of our
pain and/or
the experience we have whether judged as healthy or unhealthy.
What needs to be understood is two things. One is that 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 in obtaining a “healing ability” or
“the ability to heal” we associate with healers, is not something
you can “obtain.” Rather, healing comes from within 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 within 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. That
is, they help provided us an experience we desire to have for
whatever reason at some level of our being.
This brings us to the second understanding.
Creation is not done
alone. Inherent within Creation and the
creative process is the need
for another or others to gives us the experiences we desire. The
“Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective” provides one way
this can be understood from the myth, story or consciousness
perspective. The discussion of “How an Energy Localizes in an
Existing Creation” provides an energy perspective as to how this is
occurs and why we need another.
Now the question is “Why do we need the particular other as opposed
to any other?” There are billions of people on this planet. There
are millions of individual who call themselves healers or to whom we
would refer to as a healer. Out of all the healers that exist on
this planet, why do you need a particular type and kind of healer to
heal your condition. Why will any healer not work - or would they?
There are healers and healing modalities that medical science cannot
explain. Miracles also still exist. Placebos work - some of the
time. But then, some therapies and pharmaceuticals only work some of
the time. Why is that?
What is not realizes is that our creative spirit
incarnated to have
certain types and kinds of physical experiences. In addition to a
general physical experience for this time and place, it may include
experiences with particular people, experience of certain physical
experiences, experiences of certain places and/or to do or create
something in particular. Similarly
we each have a gift to give to
others and certain individuals are necessary to
call forth our
creative spirit to give our gift. So when we begin to put all these
possibilities together and look at a particular condition of the
body we find it is beneficial to see through to a larger perspective
about our life and what we experience.
What may not be considered a healthy condition or a condition of
illness,
disease or injury the result of an
accident may only be the
tool we use to achieve the experience we desire. Or, it may be to
call forth our creative spirit in the way it needs to be called
forth to have the experience we desire. The condition may be the
vehicle we use to meet the people we need to met or the experience
itself may be what challenges to go beyond our own
mind.
When faced with an undesirable experience or condition we need to go
within and explore deep within our own consciousness to see what is
creating it. We need to transcend the idea we are our body or we are
a spirit having a physical experience. We need to give up our
victim
consciousness and the belief that we are being held prisoner or
captive by something, like a virus or bacteria, or by another,
including
God, in any way. We need to embrace the idea that we are
perfect creators. We have created the condition we experience
because of something we consciously,
nonconsciously, or unknowingly
created or within which we agreed to participate.
How we get in touch with the reason we created what we do can be
done through a combination of two things. One is asking our
intuitive guidance. Then listening to and following its lead. We
need to
honoring our intuitive guidance, as to what answer it gives.
Second, we need to understand
creativity is the language of
consciousness. The life we have, and are, creating, and the events
we experience, are a communication of our consciousness to our
conscious
mind and the world. Our consciousness tells us what it
does, and does not, want to experience. Our feelings, in particular
the feeling of the fullness of being will tell us
what serves and
doesn’t serve our
creative spirit. Exactly what we experience is the
best expression of how our consciousness knows to express what it
desire to communicate in this time and place. By learning to “read”
our life, we can know how and why we have created the conditions we
experience.
In many ways we are a being that stands between two worlds. There is
an inner world of our consciousness that is ultimately totally under
our control.
It is a world unto itself. Then there is the outer
world in which
we have chosen to have a physical experience.
Relative to unhealthy conditions or
illness, although there are
six kinds of illness we can talk about, overall we can see
illness lying on a spectrum you could say there are three categories
that result from these two worlds.
At one end of the spectrum, one category of
illness can be called a “Placebo illness.” A placebo
is a harmless and ineffective substance given to one group of
patients in medical studies to test the effectiveness of a
pharmaceutical in test trials. One group get the placebo and the
other group gets the pharmaceutical. An effective pharmaceutical
will have a cure or healing percentage much greater than the
placebo. The issue with placebos is that some individual are cured
or healed with the placebo.
Within the creativity perspective, these kinds of cures are seen to
originate in the unique beliefs and current thinking of the
individual. Since the individual believed they get a healing
medication, they are healed. Or, because they took the physical
action of participating in taking the medication, their action
becomes a
ritual and focus of their attention and awareness to
effect a cure. In essence, the conscious action taken to heal is
what heals not so much what is done. Obviously this can become very
convoluted and intertwined with what action is taken and what one
thinks and believes. Nevertheless, the individual is cured or healed
by nothing other than one’s own beliefs. It is only their belief in
what is done and the action taken which appears to effect the cure.
The bottom line in the “Placebo illness” is two fold. One is that we
each need to take responsibility for the life we are creating. The
question here is how are we living the role we elected to play and
why did we create the unhealthy condition in the first place that
can be cured by a placebo. What experiences are provided in using
the placebo that could not otherwise be had. Or could the experience
be had another way if we had gone exploring within to consider the
source of our unhealthy condition.
Second aspect to the bottom line on the ‘Placebo illness" is if you
never pay attention to what your
nonconscious mind presents, the nonconscious
mind will most probably utilize
pain,
accident,
illness and/or nightmares or their equivalent to get your
conscious attention. The nonconscious will yell at our conscious
mind only as loudly as necessary to get its attention. In learning
to understand how our
creative life energy is communicating and how the nonconscious
mind brings this information to the awareness of conscious mind, it
is necessary to look at pain, accident, illness and disease for the
simple reason that when we experience any of these phenomena, our
nonconscious is trying to get our attention. There are easier ways
to process the energy we need to experience than
accident, illness, disease or misfortune. However, until we have
some understanding of how we are manifesting our illness, there
isn’t much we can do about shifting the energy flow.
At the other end of the spectrum is the second category of
illness can be called a "Vehicle Illness." There are illness
that we have because we have elected to participate in Creation as a
human being at this time and place. These illness are a result of
the physical experience. That is, they are illness that arise out of
what it means to "be physical." It is reflective of our role in life
and the physical human drama as it is currently playing out.
Epidemics would be a good example of "vehicle illnesses." That is,
to be a human being is to be susceptible to epidemics. A certain
percentage of the population will get sick in an epidemic unless, of
course, we are inoculated. We may get sick as one of these
individuals. We do not get sick because our
creative spirit elects to create an
illness for the experience of it or it has
failed to finance health. Rather, our creative spirit
creates the illness because we believe we are part of the human race
and this is what happens to humans. In this case, we will be hard
pressed to cure ourselves for we believe we need the cure that works
for the community. Hence we go to the doctor or other healer and
take whatever the current remedy is. In doing so, we reinforce the
all the social beliefs we and others carry about how we get sick and
how we get cured and who does the curing.
To cure ourselves in this case without the need of medical
assistance, we would need a different perspective. Unless we see
ourselves as participating in the human experience but not of it, we
will most probably need medical assistance. It is to understand we
do not have to participate in all of what it means to be human to be
human. However, to do this we often need a very strong strength of
will or an understanding that can escape the pull of the
collective conscious. Escaping the pull of the collective
conscious is like trying to escape the pull of gravity and fly to
the moon in a rocket. It takes a tremendous amount of work and
effort to figure out how to do that. However, once we do it once, it
becomes easier and easier. It may still be difficult but it
nevertheless becomes easier.
The third category of
illness is simply a mixture of the two. These illness lie on a
spectrum. At one end is the "Placebo illness" where we control the
whole process and all that we experience. At the other end is the
"vehicle illness" where we are totally a victim of being human. Here
we are at the mercy of what the
collective thinks. If the collective thinks the entire
village of which we are a part will be wiped out because of
disease, then guess what - we die. But this is only our
creative spirit participating as a human at this time and
this place. It believes we are human and fulfilling the experience
we incarnated to have - that of being human.
It needs to be noted, to incarnate to have a physical experience as
a human will most probably keep us from obtaining
"superhuman"
abilities as discussed and presented in many spiritual and
mystical
traditions. To gain superhuman ability we will either have
incarnated to play such a role or we will need to access the
intention for our life and change it. This is why so many try so
hard and yet so few achieve such abilities. They are looking in the
wrong place for what they seek. They must first go within and find
out what they are here to do. Looking for superhuman abilities may
actually be opposed to what they incarnated to do.
The following topics are provided to help you to explore how and or
why you are creating the experiences you have and how they related

accident, illness, disease and related
misfortunes or unhealthy conditions.
