Denying Our Creative Living Process

A Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity discussion topic

Copyright 2009 by K. Ferlic,   All Rights Reserved

Overview

The observation made from the exploration of our inherent creativity is we are a creative living process. As a creative living process we redefine ourselves by each experience we have. Within each of us is a flow of creative life energy trying to express itself in a way that is unique and unlike no other being. Aligning with it and living it may make us follow the left hand path of convention and be unacceptable to many individuals who live in the world they inhabit. Yet it allows us to be in wonderment and "Ah" at Creation and live in that spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration of oneself and Creation. To deny it cause us to become separate within our own being and from the Source of our own being and scatter and fragment our creative life energy and creative power. This then becomes reflected in the world we inhabit. More importantly, it causes a pain and discomfort to arise in the depths of our being that either leads us to explore the nature and cause of the pain or to deny it or numb it in some way.

Exploring the nature of our pain can lead to enlightenment as to our attachments and/or an understanding of how we create our experiences. Denying the pain only causes us to put ourselves to sleep and remain in an state of unawareness and, of course, remaining on the proverbial wheel of karma. Numbing the pain will lead to some type of addiction for we will continually have to numb the pain for it will not go away unless we realign with the flow of the creative life energy. In any case, when we deny our creative living process, we will be smothering the flame of creative passion for life and for living that resides in our heart and much of the experience of life will pass them by.

How this process is seen to work

The Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material was developed to help explain the observations in the previous two paragraphs and to use these observations effectively in our life. The key to understanding these observations is the equivalency of energy and consciousness. Within this understanding all is energy consciousness. The physical  human experience we are having is only a disturbance in that energy consciousness. Or, alternatively said, we are a flow of energy with energy consciousness which has become aware or awaken to its own existence. More importantly, we are an individualized point of consciousness experiencing the disturbance of energy consciousness that we, ourselves, have created by our thinking, the beliefs we hold and how we have chosen to observe the disturbance we have created.

As our creative life energy flows into this creation, we experience it as life. However, we are a creative living process redefining ourselves by each experience we have. As we experience the life we have created, we change and adjust how and what we think and how and what we believe to either continue the creation we have manifested or we shift the energy to create something new. It needs to be understood that within each of us is a flow of creative life energy trying to express itself in a way that is unique and unlike no other being. We each are a unique aspect of an infinite energy consciousness and it desires to express its uniqueness. Our desire to share life and what we experience flows from the deepest levels of our being. Additionally it is only in sharing experiences with others do we come to understand ourselves.

We are a unique being with infinite nonconscious mind that has created the reality we experience. However, without someone or something to reflect ourselves off of to determine "I am this..." and "I am not that..." we will be unable to fully understand who and what we are and what we have created. We can read these words and we may even believe what is said. But, until being to freely sample ourselves as ourselves and who we truly are at each and every level of our being for ourselves, we will not know that it is true. That is until we begin to allow ourselves to experience what we believe spiritually, mentally emotionally and physically, we will not know who and what we are. It needs to be emphasized experience what we believe is not what we have come to believe by how we are taught. That is, experientially knowing something is different than intellectually knowing something. There is a huge difference between these two. Besides, until we begin to freely experience ourselves we will not know the depth and breath of our own being. Until we choose to explore ourselves and how we respond to the world we experience we will never know exactly who we are.

Believing something is different than knowing something because we have experienced it. Most have never given themselves permission to explore themselves. Most have lived the way their care givers, spouses, families and society has wanted them to be. Few have had the safe and secure space to experience life the way they chose to experience it and alignment with the flow of their creative life energy. We will have to choose to experience these statements as reality and when we do, we will become who we really are. We have to choose to experience the depth and breath of our being and observe how we respond to the world as it presents itself without our mask of enculturation. In doing so, we will become that identity that is the truly us and not some assimilated ego that we developed through our life that we think is us. However, the assimilated ego we developed is probably what those in our life want us to be rather than the truth of our being. It is not necessarily that they will not like our truth or necessarily fear it. But it represents both an unknown to them and more importantly, it represents a part of themselves they have not explored because if we can do it then so can they. More often than not, any form which arises in them about us accessing our truth is the fear associated with the realization they have not been living in their truth.

Aligning with our truth and living it may make us follow the creative life energy of convention and be unacceptable to many individuals who live in the world we inhabit. Again not because there is anything wrong with our truth for there cannot be anything wrong with our truth. If flows from the Source of Life and Creation. Rather it is different and represents the unknown. In aligning with it and living it allows us to be in wonderment and "Ah" at Creation and live in that spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration of oneself and Creation. That in itself is more than enough reason to access it and live it. It is what will give us a passion for life and living and makes life worth living. It is in denying our creative living process that we cause our problems.

To deny our creative living process causes us to become separate within our own being and from the Source of our own being and scatter and fragment our creative energy and powers. Physical Creation is designed to help us to deny our creative living process. The need to "make a living," find a source of food, and otherwise survive in the world causes us to do whatever needs to be done to survive. That "survival" attitude becomes a habit that we live even in times of plenty and abundance. Of course, what we believe determines how we respond to the world and the separation within our being then becomes reflected in the world we inhabit. As humanity has progressed to provide great abundance we still hold onto what we feel we need to survive, most hold onto money and wealth. Others hold onto people and things.

More importantly the denial of our creative living process and the separation it creates causes a pain and discomfort to arise in the depths of our being that either leads us to explore the nature and cause of the pain or to deny it or numb it in some way. Most shy away from the pain they feel and attempt to numb it or remove it in some way before exploring it. Exploring the nature of our pain can lead to enlightenment as to our attachments and/or an understanding of how we create our experiences. Denying the pain only causes one to put themselves to sleep and remain in an state of unawareness and of course, remaining on the proverbial wheel of karma. Additionally, numbing the pain will lead to some type of addiction for one will continually have to numb the pain for it will not go away unless one realigns with the flow of the creative life energy. In any case, when one denies their creative living process, they will be smothering the flame of creative passion for life and for living that resides in their heart and much of the experience of life will pass them by. They will lose their enthusiasm for live and for living for creating. Denying one’s creative living process causes one to deny long before their physical death.

Become who we are - the identity that is us: In understanding that we are a unique view of Creation, we need to become who we are and embody that view. To do that, we will need to step out of the enculturated mind that we have created and essentially take ourselves back before we had the experience of this life. Our body stores the memories and our consciousness can access any time and any place. In going back, we find the essence of who we are is the marriage of our unique consciousness and the unique body that we chose to inhabit. Our unique consciousness has a world of experiences it can explore if we choose. Our body carries the memories of this life and aspects of our family and all they have, and have not, been as reflected in our genes. That is, there is much that is in our genes that has been express and there is much that has not been express either because our ancestors were not free to express them or the environment was not suitable for what they carried.

However, having entered life in human form through the use of a human body, we have come to believe things about ourselves and our nature based on the world in which we grew up. There are the things that need to be moved aside, so that we can see clearly. Many reflect beliefs we have adopted about life but have never been thoroughly checked out with our body wisdom and intuitive guidance to see how they align or don’t align with our creative life energy. In this regard, many of the beliefs we have adopted may or may not be consistent with the intention for our incarnation and the experience we chose to have in incarnating.

There is the need to sort through our own understanding about the nature of the universe and become who we are, not who we have come to think that we are and bring into fully agreement our inner world and our outer world of experience. However, before we do this, we must first open ourselves to what we feel, not denying our creative life energy and the sensations we have in our body. To do this, we need to be out of mind or rather step out of being mind, that is the ego that we have constructed. We have to allow ourselves to step out of that thinking, judging and analytical mind. The easiest way to do this is to set a clear intention learn how to live out of mind and then allow our intuitive guidance to take we there.

The denial of our creative living process, the inability to flow with our creative life energy, will affect our health and our passion for life and for living. If we desire to get to the root of what ails us, it ultimately lies in our ability to crate and live as the creative being that we are. To deny we are in process only creates pain and things leave our life. The issue is not to see us growing toward something. Rather it is to understand we are only recreating ourselves each moment by the experiences we have had and each moment gives us a new experience. It is our awareness and the choice we make in that moment is what makes all the difference. It is that point of creative power.
