We have talked about pain and how
pain is a messenger or alarm indicating that harm is occurring
at some level of one’s being. We have also talked about if one move
into that pain, they are able to use the
pain to awaken their consciousness. There is another form of
pain that is destroying some level of being but is involved with
Creation and one’s ability to manifest a new creation. In much the
same way, child birth and the creation of life can be painful, there
is a pain in creating a new reality and a new way of living in the
world.
“Pain
and the Creative Process" discussed the pain of attachments and
most probably we are attached so some part of what needs to be
sacrificed. “Pain
of stretching who we are” discussed the pain is associated with
stretching beyond our limits or that we are entering a new aspect of
our being, leaving the old behind. However, even if you effectively
address these issues, you may find you are faced with another pain
that is a combination of all of the above but tied together through
the collective unconsciousness.
This pain of birthing is more associated with were you are trying to
birth a dream, belief, vision, or any thing else that is going
against the predominate currents of life. That is, it goes against
what the prevalent thinks is as to what it means to be human. Here
you are attempting to not only stretch your own mind and what you
think and believe you are attempting to stretch the mind of the
human collective.
Obviously, anything new is different than that which is in
existence. So the new creation will be going against some of the
existing reality. If one wishes to create a new reality that is not
going in the same direction as the current reality, there will be
addition pain as one struggles against the existing currents of
creation. The more the new way of being opposes the current ways of
being, the greater the potential pain. The amount of pain greatly
depends on the number and strength of attachments one has to the
existing form and way of being in the world. If a new way of being,
a new life or a new reality is going to be brought into physical
form, someone will have to endure the pain and hold to the dream or
vision until it manifest and becomes strong enough to stand on its
own. However if the pain is the pain of a new creation, and it is
motivated from the heart, there will be the internal satisfaction of
the heart and a knowing that all is as it should be no matter what
is happening external to the individual. The
inner satisfaction will carry the individual through the
creation and birthing process.
The real problem with this type of pain is that you cannot let go of
certain things of the past. It is not necessarily that you cannot
let go because you are personally attached to them. Rather, you are
trying to create within an existing creation and the existing
creation may not fully support the creation in which you are trying
to birth. In some ways it is the difference in renovating an old
house as opposed to completely redesigning it and starting from no
existing form. The old house forces you to stay within a given form.
Or it may be like trying to fly to the moon in a rocket where you
must struggle against the pull of gravity. You are not personally
attached to the gravity, it is just a constrain on what you are
trying to do that you must over come.
In this type of creation, it is essential to be able to hold a
clear intention and just
surrender to the flow of energy you
create.
The path of least resistance to this creation is
not only through your own mind but also through the collective
unconsciousness. What you think and what others advise will be of
little help. If you were creating something that another had already
experienced in some way, you could use their advice and maybe even
follow much of their path. However, when your creative effort also
directly involves the human collective, there is almost no one who
can advised you. The only individual who can advise you is some who
also had to overcome the pull of the collective. But then, they
created something different so their advice will be limited.
In any case, the question is as it is for any creative effort, “Do
we learn to freely work with the flow or be pulled along
unconsciously and struggle against our attachments to our past
creations and the existing from?” Here again, if faced with a
birthing pain, look to your intuitive guidance to see what you can
to address the root of the pain.
