The understanding that gave rise to Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material also gives rise to the understanding that there
is an
intention for our life. It is the fulfillment of this intention
that gives our life and brought each of us into this world. It give
rise to our passion for life and for living. It is what allows us to
find a fulfillment in the life we live. Although we have a
free will, this intention acts as an uncurrent to our life. It
pulls us toward the experiences we need to have to fulfill that
intention. We can not access the depth and breadth of our creative
power and ability unless we are at least aware of its pull and why
it pulls us the way it does.
Background
on accessing the intention for our life (Top)
Although we can readily access
this intention through feeling, there are two problems we encounter
when we try and access this intention to bring it into your
consciousness. The first is that this intention is not something
that can be accessed through our current mind as we understand mind.
What needs to be understood is that the intention for our life
existed before our current mind formed. To access this intention, we
will need to be out of mind. That is, we need to be outside our
enculturated thinking and judging mind that we have developed in
this lifetime.
The second problem is that whenever we experience something, our
mind characterizes what we experience based on the experiences we
have had. Even if we are able to step out of our enculturated mind
to experience the intention for our life, we may or may not have a
sufficient set of life experience, the
minimum sets of requisite experience, to truly understand the
intention you carry. Alternative said, the intention for our life is
designed to guide us through our entire life. So there are some
experiences that we have not yet had and they may be key to seeing
the complete intention.
Understanding the intention for our life is sort of like trying to
piece a jig saw puzzle together when you are not given all the
pieces until after you have made several attempts to put the puzzle
together. At best, we can only get a partial idea of the intention
for our life if we rely on our own mind and our own capabilities.
However, it is only when we try and piece the puzzle together that
we can discover whether or not we have all the pieces. In trying to
put the puzzle together we can being to see which pieces may still
be missing. Knowing what pieces are missing, we can begin to look
for them.
A related problem to understanding the pieces and the puzzle is that
we may or may not have a sufficient understanding and an adequate
set of symbolism in our psyche to properly characterize and explain
this intention. So whatever we think the intention is for our life
we must allow ourselves to be flexible. We must realize what we
think may only be symbolic or partially correct.
The recommendation is to allow whatever we think the intention is
for our life to grow and evolve as we add more and more life
experiences and understanding. If we hold what we think our life is
about in a fixed form, we will miss our own life. Using a previous
analogy again, it is much like pealing the layers of an onion. We
will need to peel back each layer until you find the most
fundamental intention that is driving our attention in life.
We each are a being of unlimited energy and infinite consciousness.
We each are capable of creating our knowledge about life and we each
are capable of accessing and using the knowledge of others. In this
regard, each culture has its own unique symbols about life. Each
cultures creates stories and/or myths that are told using these
symbols. In particular each society, each culture, has it own
creation story as to how we got here as a species and it may or may
not address what we are doing here as an individual.
We are capable of accessing the wisdom of these cultures . If we
allow ourselves the freedom to be out of mind, we allow ourselves to
be drawn to the set of information that can best answer any
inquiries about the intention for our life. We will know what is in
alignment with the intention for our life by the feeling of the
fulness of being. It will resonate within our being and we will feel
it.
Since we are talking about the intention for our life we are talking
about our creation. We are talking about why we were created as the
individual that we are. We are not concerned with the creation of
any other individual or the collective. If we study the stories and
mythologies of the variety of societies in the world we can come to
the awareness that there are a variety of stories as to how our
physical word came into existence. Any one of these may give us
clues if not an image that can directly explain our origins.
Although each culture has their own stories, our interest is not
with any of those stories. For example, in the Western tradition
that comes out of Europe and dominates the United States, the two
most common stories are the Biblical Seven Days Creation Story and
the scientific Big Bang theory or its equivalent. Although the Seven
Days of Creation or the Big Bang may be important symbolism and
imagery for your creation story, we have little interest in either
of those two stories. Our interest is what our own psyche itself can
tell us about why we are here as the individuals that we are.
We are all probably aware that each of us were born of a woman
within a certain family and genetic origins. In this regard, it is
quite obvious where our current body started from. We can always
point to our mother and the genealogical information within the
family tree. However, what is important is that we each of us posses
a unique consciousness that inhabits our particular body. What we
are interested is the reason or intention for why y\our
consciousness is here in our particular body.
The genealogical information available to us may give us much
information about the potential talents, abilities, and related
information of the body . Yet, the genealogy can tell us little as
to why we have the particular body that we do. Everything about our
body is not predetermined genetically. The genetic information we
possess only gives us the potential for particular characteristics
and whether or not they manifest depends on the environment in which
we find ourselves. In many ways the environment in which we find
ourselves is key to what unfold. We only need look at how stem cells
differentiate based on the environment. Besides, it needs to be
realized the fertilized egg that became us could have been the
product of a number of other sperm cells. Only the intention for our
life can give us that information for the body we have is the
perfect vehicle for the experiences our creative spirit desired to
have.
Of course many will not believe what is stated here is this last
paragraph, especially the last few sentence. Yet they are true. But
you will have to do your own experience and go within your own being
to verify its truth.
The
gift we give (Top)
One of the implications of the
oneness of the universe is that we are capable of dreaming reality
into existence. That is, what is in mind is not separate from
what is physical and capable of manifesting physically. Mind and
body are connected. It is much like the legends and stories of dream
time such as the Dreamtime of the Australian Aborigines where they
are fulfilling the dreams of their ancestors. The idea being that
when the consciousness of the world longs for what it lacks or
desires to experience, it creates someone to carry this gift into
being. In this regard, any deep longing is actually a dream that we
are bringing into manifestation.
For example, consider if there wasn’t enough openness in the world.
This ideas says that if the humans of the world began to close
themselves off from each other afraid of being touched and
communicating with each other, a person would incarnate to bring
openness back into being. If the world lacked laughter and was
taking itself too seriously, maybe a famous comedian, a famous
clown, or a great comic writer would appear to lighten things up. If
there was too much noise, too much talk, maybe a teacher of silence
would appear to create a space of silence. If the world lacked
freedom, maybe a revolutionary would appear to break the chains of
bondage. What every the world needs, it would create a person to
carry that seed whether it was courage, hope, vison or simply caring
and the ability to love unconditionally. It is a very different way
of seeing and experiencing reality. Yet, there is a truth in this
view.
Our goal in this exercise is to move towards understanding and
becoming consciously aware of the intention that lies behind our
life and to see if we can uncover what seed the universe planted
within our being. Yes, we each carry one. The question is if we are
willing to live our life to bring it out.
Preparing for the journey
(Top)
In the world of imagination our
beginnings may look nothing like the myth and stories of creation
told by societies, It may look nothing like the way a human is born
into the world. You will need to allow yourself to be open to what
you see and not just it in any way. Just watch it, feeling, observe
it as you would a movie.
In this guided meditation you may find your imagination having
yourself being hatched, spawned, or even separating from a molten
rock or a mother ship. You may have parent but then you may have
simply arose out of the joining of two forces. Then again, you may
find yourself created as the sound of a symphony only to cease to
exist when the symphony stops playing. You may find your existence
materialized out of a laugh or a sigh, or burp or a ... well,
whatever. Yet each image we get tells us something about ourselves
and why we are here. Trust whatever comes up and don’t dismiss it no
matter what it is. It all contains information. Although you may not
be able to decipher it at this moment, in time, you will find it
reveals the information which you seek.
As you proceed through this guided meditation, you will be asked a
variety of questions and be asked to travel though time and space.
Realize there is no right or wrong answer and there is no correct
setting for what you experience. You may have palm trees in the
middle of an arctic glacier and you may find turtles that fly and
trees that walk, talk or even fly. You will be asked to travel in
time and before time . Allow your self go where your imagination
takes you.
You will be asked to travel to locations and landscapes. They may
look to you like places you have been or have seen in the moves. You
may visit the forest, a meadow, a mountain top, a jungle, an oasis
or a mirage in a desert, or the ice of a glacier. Or you may find
places that seem less real such as standing on the surface of the
sun or a distant planet, floating in space on the speck of dust, or
existing as part of a fire as one of its flames. You may find
yourself as some ash from such a fire or you may find yourself
dissolved in the ocean. You may see yourself a river or the
continent it flow across. Go where ever your imagination leads. This
is all an intuitive process and the world of symbols.
As you describe or see yourself within your imagination you may find
yourself coming from below, from the depths of the underworld . Or,
you may find you come from above existing as some angelic being or
bird of the sky. You may travel in the clouds, walk across a rainbow
or find yourself falling from a star or as the songs says you may
find yourself, “Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save
it for a rainy day.”
As you travel in this journey, you may feel sensations. You may feel
pain, you may feel lightness of being. You may feel gentleness and
the touch of a caress or the gentle breeze of the wind. Or you may
feel something akin to violence and find yourself in the torrents of
a hurricane or tornado or in the center of a cataclysmic collision
of two celestial bodies or mythological titans. You may feel
yourself catapulted though space and time. Or, you may be spewed out
of the top of an erupting volcano. Or, then again, you may be simply
sitting and slowly evolving like the jagged rock becomes a water
worn rounded stone.
As you work with these images you may feel the images come quickly
and suddenly or they may slowly evolve and grow or slowly
crystalized as crystals as ice across a puddle. As you look into the
essence of your formation there are many images our imagination can
use. Let them flow to you on their own if you can.
Comments
on this guided meditation (Top)
It does need to be noted here that
if you do this guided meditation more than once, you will probably
get different images and different ideas each time. Although the
seed within your being remains unchanged, you are a dynamic and
creative living process constantly unfolding. Additionally you
are an infinite creative being and it will take and infinite number
of experiences to fully experience yourself.
The differences you see may only reflect a new aspect of your
unfoldment or you may be moving into a deeper and deeper levels
towards a greater understanding of exactly who what you really are
and what you came to do. There will come a point that you simply
know what you are here to do and have no doubt as to what it
involves and myriad of forms it may take. When you reach such a
point, you will see this guided meditation is simply revealing
another facet of your being. Most probably it is something you need
to give permission to yourself to allow to grow and unfold in your
life.
How to use
this meditation exercise on your own (Top)
To do this guided meditation, you
will have to allow yourself sufficient time. You need to give
yourself time to prepare yourself, time to listen to the transcript
and then some time to record or draw that you experienced. Do not
rush the process. Allow all the time that you need.
Normally guided meditations are read to you when you are in a
relaxed state. If you have no one to read this script to you, read
it out loud slowly and calmly while recording what you read on a
tape recorder. Then relax yourself and play the tape. Alternatively,
you can put a relaxation exercise on the tape before you read the
script and then have the tape guide you thought the whole process.
In reading the transcript onto a tape or for another, allow yourself
to pause when you come to the dots (“......”).
Set the stage as if you were going to do any meditation. A
sample calming exercise and a
sample centering exercise is provided if you need them. Then
when you, or the individual or individuals are relaxed, begin the
transcript

world to date .......have all helped to shape you..............The
invitation ......that is now before you ........is to gather these
