Creativity is language of consciousness. What a consciousness
creates is a communicate both to itself and to the outside world. It
is a communication to itself is that what it communicated identifies
and
defines itself. It
is a communication to the outside word for what is created reveal
what the consciousness perceives about itself and the world it is
experiencing.
We each have within our being a
creative spirit. It too communicates
through its creativity.
Mind as we know mind and understanding mind,
is outside this consciousness. The awareness that is mind is not the
mind and lies beyond mind. What this creative spirit reveal directly
to mind is interpreted by the mind based on the experiences it has.
Mind only knows what it has experiences and, as such, it is limited
in how it interprets what our creative spirit communicates. This
gives rise to a relatively unique language of our inner world.
Because mind will not always have a way of properly characterize
what our creative spirit reveals, the metaphoric aspects of what is
perceived by mind become more important than the particular symbol.
In the same way there are common elements in the world we share with
others, there are common elements in this
inner language. The common
elements give rise to many of the
traditional archetypes of a
society or cross culture. But, in general, this inner language of
our
creative spirit is something unique to us and its symbols must
be learned and understood. We can use the symbolism and
interpretation of others, but we need to be caution putting
another’s interpretation on our inner language. Our inner language
is something we ourselves must explore.
We need to learn the symbols used within our own being and those
used in other times and other places. The
nonconscious mind
characterizes the energy it experiences into thought, images,
feelings and/or body sensations based on what the conscious
mind has
experienced. If we have no knowledge of music, the nonconscious mind
cannot use music as one of its symbols and expect that our conscious
mind will understand. Yet it may for music may be the only way in
which the nonconscious mind can communicate what needs to be said.
But our conscious mind will use only what the conscious mind
understands to interpret and understand what is communicated. It
will perceive. Our conscious mind may perceive a melody but it will
not understand the melody or what is contained within the structure
of the melody. In understanding this issue, the more diverse set of
experiences that we can have and the more we are exposes to
different types and kinds of knowledge, the more our nonconscious
mind can utilize these experiences to characterize the energy it
senses.
Learning and using the symbols of any tradition can be very useful
in this regard. It doesn’t matter from what society and culture the
symbols come. We just need to understand how the symbols are used
within that culture and tradition. Our
nonconscious mind and the
creative spirit within our being can then use that understanding to
communicate with us. However, we always need to remember the
language of consciousness is creativity and our creative spirit may
use the symbols of another in its own unique way. We should always
“check in” with our feelings and what we feel to see if we are
being
served for any interpretation we give to what is being communicated
through our
inner language. The more ways and vehicles that our
creative spirit has to communicate with us through our intuitive
guidance and body wisdom, it will.
It does need to be noted that most probably we will be drawn to the
symbols of the cultures and societies for which we have had the most
experience. We need to remember that we are a being of infinite
consciousness and always was and will be. We have a wealth of
experience from may different times and places from which to draw
upon. Most remain in our
nonconscious mind and lie dormant. The
symbols and traditions that have been most useful to us in the past
will again surface for use in this life because they carry the most
positive energy. However, we must learn not to get trapped in the
past and with what worked for us in the past. What worked in the
past was for a different time and a different play. What worked then
may not be applicable now. We need to look to our intuitive guidance
to guide s to the symbols and/or the traditions of the symbols that
will be most useful to us in this lifetime. We need to allow your
intuitive guidance to use what is most effect for its communication
to us in this lifetime. We do this in
honoring what our intuitive guidance provides.
In this light, toys can actually be extremely useful to the
nonconscious mind. If we allow ourselves to go into a child’s play
room with a well stocked diverse set of toys, our nonconscious will
be pulled directly to those toys that will best allow it to express
what it needs to express. If we find the tools that “feel” right and
allow ourselves to play with those toys freely talking about what we
are feeling, remembering and/or trying to express what we feel with
that toy, we will be revealing the most energetic aspect of our
being that desires to be expressed but otherwise has no effective
vehicle in which to express itself.
We using the toys, we move toward that state of being of the
spontaneous innocent
child like play. Until the
freedom of that
child like play is recreated, most probably what will surface are
the ways we
shut down that ability earlier in life. If however, we
have done the “clearing” work and can freely enter the state of
being that corresponds to that spontaneously innocent child like
play, we can access any information that we desire relative to any
intention that we set or we can come to understand what we need to
do to manifest the intention that we hold.
Creative play must us
toward the
most
creative state of being we can enter.
