The easiest way to continually create and recreate our reality is to design a blueprint and to create a prototype to test what we desire to create. The blueprint should be one which allows for us to recreate our existing reality into a new reality in that it allows us to consciously change the blueprint as necessary to cycle back into a new creative posture before things become too firmly fixed. It is about remembering there is a cycle to every manifestation and learning to live in that cycle. It is about consciously shifting each cycle so that we do not get caught in going in a circle but continually spiral in or out constantly expanding and contract within the cycle itself. We can do this by designing our own personal transition ceremonies and rituals and the overall process is much like learn to fly. In this regard, the starting point for any creative endeavor and the our inner journey into the exploration of our unlimited creativity or, any subject area when we must study and contemplate the principles then apply them, is much like learning fly. Consciously following the process will show us how to create/recreate any area or aspect of reality that we choose.

In learning any new skill or talent, there is the equivalent of the classroom materials with which we need to start. This classroom material addresses the fundamental principles that we study in the classroom before we go into a simulation, experimentation or application of the principles. When we have eaten and digested the principles such that they become part of our truth concerning each of the fundamental principles for the subject area we choose, the time is right for us to prepare a simulation or some type and kind of experiment to implement and embody the principles as they reflect our truth. For lack of better words, we need to design an experiment to see exactly what we do and don’t know and understand about the principle we have assimilated. Do we really understand what the principles mean and can we apply them or do we only have intellectual understanding without any awareness of how they are applied or what they mean in application?

For physical principles an experiment can usually be easily arranged, However it is a little more difficult to create experiments for principles concerning the unseen world especially if the results of the application remain in the unseen. Here, a ceremony or ritual to demonstrate how we could literally or symbolically embrace each of the principles for the subject area in question that is reflective of our truth and understanding about the principles could be performed. The ceremony or ritual should be of our choice or at least our conscious and willingness to participate and should be reflective of our truth.

From a creation and creativity perspective, the key principle is to embody literally or symbolically the characteristics that we wish to claim that will assist us in manifesting our creation and transformation in the easiest and gentlest way possible. Once you do a simulation and/or "walk through" of these truths relative to our stated intention we the need to develop a practice in our life or a way of being in the world such that we practice embodying and being these truths as we understand them. After we have learned the principles we desire and have experimented with them as to the validity of their truth, at some point, the universe will offer us an opportunity that is essentially our solo flight. It is to be the living embodiment of the truths that we claim to believe. Then after that solo flight and if we continue to practice to develop and be our truth, our whole life will change to accommodate our new way of being in the world that is reflect of the truth of our being. In being the truth of our being fully manifested, we will manifest the intention that we chose. Additionally, if we are conscious of the process, we will be embodying our creative birthright of consciously creating the reality of our choice. In doing so, we will participate as a conscious co-creator of the world that we see and experience.

Creating any transformation to move from one way of being in the world to another can be viewed as breaking the existing cause effect chain . It is to take the existing effect and creating a new cause to lead to a new effect. Here we need to realize what is experienced in the moment is the effect or the results of a cause. However, whatever exists now is the cause of the next effect or next experience we have. Unless we change the way they experience or respond to what is, we are stuck in the exiting cause effect chain. In the moment, in the now, there is the choice to introduce a new way of being to break the existing cause and effect cycle. The process to do this can be viewed like learning to fly. First you need to choose to make the decision to fly. The equivalent step in our life is the choice we make to experience the current effect or situation we experience in a new way. That chose and action on that choice then creates an effect in our life to create a new cause. It can be as simple as choosing to experience life differently. Once we choose to fly, we then spend some time learning about flying and the principles that we will use in flying an airplane (or the principles behind a glider or hot air balloon if our interests in flying is other than an airplane). It is in this step we analyze, learn and ensure that we have all the understanding that we need to create the effect that we choose.

In learning to fly, once we obtain the understanding of the principles, we normally simulate the appropriate aspects of flying and/or walk through the steps we will need to do when we are flying and get an integrated feel for the process. The main issue in the simulation is to get both a feel for what we are going to do and to become familiar with what it is we are going to do before we actually do it. The analogous step here would be a the ritual/ceremony that we use to get some experience and feel for this new way of being. It is here we actually introduce a break point in the existing cause and effect cycle. By actually performing a the ritual/ceremony designed on the way we wish to be in the world we create a new effect and new cause in our life. In this ritual or ceremony it is appropriate to add a step that ensure we remain awake and aware at least to the milestones where we have to make decisions about how we will create our next reality.

After an appropriate simulation or flying with an instructor at the controls, at some point, we practice flying is followed by a solo flight. The solo flight is where you are totally alone and have no one but ourselves to rely upon. The solo flight are those opportunities that occur in our life after our ritual and ceremony where we are faced with the opportunities that arise in our life where we are faced with choosing to continue to live as we have in the past or to choose and implement the new effect that we created in our ritual/ceremony. The equivalent solo flight in our life is were we actually have the opportunity to become our new creation.

After the solo and our actions make our life different we practice and improve our ability until they become part of a new way of being for us. Here we choose a way of being in the world that will help to create and sustain the new cause - effect relationship we have created. Over time, as flying become a part of our life, our whole life changes to accommodate our new found skill and the way we wish to manifest that skill in the world. We can actively use it every day to create a new livelihood or use it simply as a hobby or as a goal achieved never to be used again.
