Creation, energy and consciousness
First and foremost,
creation/Creation is about energy. Without energy, there is no
movement. Without movement, there is nothing to observe. With
nothing to observe, there is no Creation/creation. Anything that
comes into existence whether it be a thought, an object or an
experience, arises from a flow of energy. All Creation revolves
around creating and
dissipating flows of energy.
Energy is defined as the capacity to produce an effect or do work.
To make something happen, that is, to produce an effect, we need
energy.
Creativity and to create is about having the ability to make
something happen. It is about bringing into existence something
never before seen or experiences or something significantly
different than the past.
The form of energy we need to explore is about our ability to cause
an effect where the effect is to cause something to come into
existence that did not previously exist or is significantly
different than the past - that is, to create. Alternatively said, we
need to understand the form of energy necessary to access and
manipulate energy for the purpose of
creating the
experience we
desire.
On first observation of our
creative power and creative ability there appears to be three
seemingly unrelated types of energy. One is the energy within us
that allow us, or gives us, the power to create. The second is the
energy which we experience externally in the physical world that we
use every day. The third is what appears to be an
unseen energy
which we can experience internally and externally which exists in
what most call the spiritual. Although these three types of energy
appear unrelated, if one explores exactly what is really meant by
the concept of the capacity and/or ability to product an effect, one
can come to see there is a
relationship between energy and consciousness. This relationship
which will cause the perceived difference between these three
seemingly different energies to disappear.
The nature of energy (Top)
Energy is defined as the capacity
or ability to produce and effect or the ability to do work and there
are various forms of energy. The two most basic forms are kinetic
energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion and
potential energy is energy stored in some way. Depending on how the
energy is in motion we can further define energy in motion by the
type of motions such as rotational energy or radiant energy.
Similarly, we can further describe potential energy by where it is
stored such as chemical energy, gravitational energy, nuclear energy
and the like. What is important for our discussion on creativity and
physics is Creation is the dance between the forms which energy
takes.
From a
creativity perspective
the first thing to understanding about energy is that energy is not
physical. It is not physical in the sense that we can hold it. A
form of energy gives rise to the physical but the energy itself is
not physical. Rather, one form of energy is physical. We can often
feel it if we have the means to sense it. We can work with its
effects. We can transfer it from one object to another. We can store
it to some degree. But we can’t hold onto it as we would a piece of
mass. Yet, mass is energy. In holding mass, we hold energy. But the
energy we can hold must be converted to another form of energy
before it can be used to give us the ability to produce an effect.
Energy that is held in form is rendered unavailable to energize our
creativity or creative actions.
Energy is what gives rise to the physical. Our experiences of the
physical world give us the impression that energy is of the
physical world and some other material exist in the
unseen world. We
access energy sources, like oil, coal, gas, sunlight and the like
and use it to power motors and machines to do work for us. We use it
to make things happen. So we think energy is of the physical world
and something that is physical. However, energy is of the unseen
world and something else exists in the physical.
What exists
in the physical is the experience of energy. In particular,
it is the experience of
energy localizing into a given form.
The important point here is to understand that energy, or rather a
flow of energy, is what gives rise to
creation/Creation. Technically creation/Creation is not energy.
Creation/creation is the experience of the flow or movement of
energy. The contrast of what is fixed and what flows is what gives
rise to the form of creation/Creation we experience. Without a flow
of energy there is no movement. Without movement there is nothing to
observe or experience. As such, as we adjust and/or change the flow
of energy, we experience a different creation/Creation.
Physically, we generate a flow of energy by moving or changing the
positions objects with mass relative to one another in a way that a
flow of energy is generated. We say we move an object form greater
potential energy to one of less potential energy. In the process of
that movement we generate a flow of energy to create or do
something. For example, objects fall down. The object falls from
greater potential to less potential. We can harness the energy in
that fall as we do in the power obtained from hydroelectric dam as
the water flows down a mountain to the sea. We rearrange the atoms
of chemical fuels like that of hydrogen and oxygen to create water
and energy. Our bodies rearrange molecules to generate the energy of
life. We rearrange the nuclear structure of Uranium and Plutonium
with neutrons and create nuclear energy which can be transformed
into electrical energy.
In the physical world, we rearrange the objects of
Physical Creation
to release the energy stored in the arrangement of the atoms and
nucleons and in the gravitational force between objects with mass.
In time it would appear all the energy of physical Creation will be
released and
dissipated such that physical Creation will cease
movement.
Enter
consciousness and energy consciousness (Top)
Within an existing creation, energy is neither created or
destroyed. It is only transformed. Within the
creativity perspective
and
energy consciousness model
perspective, all that energy that is
dissipated in physical creation
still exists as potential accessible through, or by, consciousness.
Consciousness, by how it
focuses it
attention and awareness, can
“concentrate” energy. Or, alternatively said, consciousness causes
the energy to localize into a particular from or flow. Consciousness
can seemingly
create something out of nothing. Yet, all it is doing is
transforming energy from one form to another. Consciousness
transforms the potential of energy within energy consciousness into
a form of energy it can then use to make something happen. The form
of energy that consciousness uses is thought energy or the energy
within, or giving rise to, thoughts.
In this regard, the human being is a
creativity machine and an energy transfer device that allows
consciousness to easily and readily translate or transform thought
energy into a physical manifestation. As experienced by humans,
consciousness creates thoughts. It then uses the body to amplify
that thought energy and convert that thought energy into action
through the mechanical and chemical processes. Consciousness then
uses the body’s actions to rearrange the world in which it finds
itself to create what it
desires.
What need to be realized is that although thoughts are massless,
they are nevertheless things. Just as we can rearrange things in the
external physical world to generate energy, we can rearrange our
thoughts to generate the energy and
passion to create and to generate a
creative
passion. As we rearrange our thoughts we change the
focus of our
attention and awareness. That, in turn, shifts where we direct our
creative life energy which lies at the essence of our
creative power and creative ability.
Forms
of energy (Top)
The term
creative life energy to describe the energy which lies at the
essence of our
creative power and creative ability brings our attention to the
fact that there are different forms of energy and they are
experienced differently. The release of nuclear energy is
experienced quite differently than the release of chemical energy.
A weight of nuclear material exploding as a bomb is
quite different than the equivalent weight of chemical explosives.
There are orders of magnitude difference in effect. Similarly a
weight of chemical explosives being detonated produces a
substantially different effect than that same weight of explosives
being dropped and the gravitational potential energy being released.
What is important here is the transformation of different forms of
energy give rise to different experiences.
The fact that the transformation of different forms of energy give
rise to different experiences is a fact that is missed by most. It
should be obvious but it is not appreciated for what it really
means. As said above, there appears to be three types of energy or
abilities that a human can access to cause an effect. There is an
energy and power within, there is the external energy and power of
the physical world and then an
unseen energy which most call a
spiritual energy or spiritual power. Yet when we look carefully at
the definition of energy, they all are only different forms of
energy. The question is how do we transform one form of energy to
the other and access that transformation for what we
desire to
create. To do this, we need to understand something about these
three forms of energy - the energy within, the energy of Physical
Creation and the energy of the unseen. But before each of these
forms of energy are discussed, there are a few general comments
which need to be made about energy.
General comments on energy
(Top)
Energy is energy (Top):
Energy is energy, it doesn’t matter where it is, it is the same.
What is different is the form the energy takes. With the correct
methods, we can readily convert chemical energy to mechanical energy
to electrical energy to magnetic energy and back to chemical energy
if we wish. We can convert radiant energy to electrical energy and
back again. It simply depends on what we wish to do and how we
arrange the environment to cause the transformation of energy from
one form to another. The key is to understand what is the proper
arrangement of the environment to do the transformation we
desire to
have.
Path of least resistance
(Top):
Energy in transformation flows from a place of which is call higher
potential to lower potential such as a ball rolling down a hill. The
top of the hill has greater potential than the bottom of the hill. A
ball rolling down the hill converts the higher potential to energy
of motion as it rolls down the hill. When the energy flows, it
follows the
path of least resistance. Aligning with the energy will carry us
from that place of higher potential to the place of lower potential
in the fastest way.
Different
forms, different experiences (Top):
it needs to be noted. A place of higher potential is not any better
or worse than a place of lower potential. The experience of each is
just different. From an energy perspective, energy is energy and the
only difference between any form of energy is what we can and can’t
do what that particular forms.
For example a higher vibrational
electromagnetic energy interacts
differently and causes different effects in physical materials that
a lower vibrational energy. More often then not, the higher
vibrational energy is more destructive to living forms that lower
vibrational energy. That does not make the higher vibrational energy
bad and the lower vibrational energy good. However it does mean we
need to protect living forms differently from higher vibrational
energy that lower vibrational energy. That in turn, makes for a
different experience of Creation.
Creating flows of energy
(Top):
We create the flows of energy through creating some type or kind of
a tension of opposites. Without the opposites there is no energy for
creation. The flow of energy is determined by the way the dance of
opposites occurs and there are a
variety of ways to experience this dance of opposites in
creation/Creation.
Whenever energy gets converted to a form of stored energy, it no
longer flows and becomes unavailable to cause things to happen.
Energy has the ability to cause an effect and make things happen
when it flows. When it is stored, it is stored and unavailable for
use until it is released. How the energy is released determines the
type of experience that is had. Burning a barrel of gasoline slowly
in a engine produces quite a different experience that exploding the
barrel of gasoline in one quick explosion.
Conservation of energy
(Top):
It has been observed in
Physical Creation that
energy can neither be
created or destroyed, only transformed.. The caveat which needs to
be added here is the arrangement of the energy is fixed within any
given creation and physical Creation is a particular Creation. It is
the arrangement of the energy that gives rise to the creation which
we experience. If we change the arrangement of the energy we change
the creation. Since
the energy within a given creation is fixed, the energy within
the creation is conserved. To create something new within the
existing creation there will always be a
sacrifice in creation. Something will eat of another in some way
to gain the energy for a new creation.
To use a thermodynamic term, a creation is a closed system and
nothing crosses the boundaries of the system. This bring up a rather
important idea discussed in the
creative/creation process supporting discussion. The
creative/creation process creates a closes system. If the energy is
not being conserved in what we think is a creation, we are not
looking at the entire creation and only a part of the creation.
Similarly, if we are in the creative/creation process creating a
creation we can expect energy to not be conserved for we will be
adding and subtracting energy in order to create the particular
creation we
desire. This paragraph may seem esoteric and not that
useful at this particular time but it becomes important when we are
engaged in creating within the creative/creation process.
The energy
within - our creative life energy (Top)
Our
creative life energy is the energy which sustains us in
Physical Creation. It can be called our life energy or our
life force. It is rather clear that part of this energy comes
from the food we eat and the metabolism of the chemicals in the food
in our bodies to generate energy. Yet there is another aspect to
this energy which we experience as
passion and the
desire and energy to act to do something. This
energy seems somehow unrelated to the foods we eat. It is not like
we can eat a certain food and become passionate and full of energy
to act. Yet there are chemicals that cause us to act in certain
ways. This energy of
passion within us gives rise to the
concept of a spirit within and
most of humanity has some type and kind of belief about this
spiritual side of a human being.
From a
creativity perspective,
we need both the energy supplied by the foods we eat and the
passion to act to create. With no energy from food we die. With
no passion we have no
desire to act and will be depressed in some
way. We may even go through life like a zombie, the living dead.
To access our
creative power and creative ability we need to know what foods
serve and don’t serve our physical body. We need to know
what serves and doesn’t serve our
passion and allows us to become passionate about life. From a
creativity perspective,
the question is how does the energy within our being relate to the
energy of
Physical Creation and the energy of the
unseen.
The topic “Bridge
Point of the Inner and Outer Creative Power” discusses where the
inner and outer come together. However, to utilize this bridge point
there are things we need to explore about our
inner creative power and
outer creative power. In particular we will need to know what
causes us to become passionate and have a strong
desire to act. We
need to understand how energy works and we need to understand how
consciousness. We need to understand the
relationship between energy and consciousness for it is the
dance between energy and consciousness that determines the
creation we experience and how the inner and outer creative power is
divided.
The energy of Physical
Creation (Top)
Understanding how energy functions
in
Physical Creation is key to understanding how energy functions in
any realm of Creation. The physical world is made up of
mass. Mass
and the energy flows that allows mass to continually reform itself
is what gives rise to Physical Creation. Without mass there would be
no Physical Creation.
On a purely physical level it is to think about energy as energy as
we know it and experience it. It is to study it to learn to
manipulate as through the sciences of physics and chemistry. To say
energy is the source of
Physical Creation is not too difficult to
understand. Without a supply of energy there is no ability to do
anything. All physical creation can be viewed as being energy. The
light from a bulb or the Sun we use to read this page is energy.
Energy that fuels the car we may drive is contained in the gasoline
consumed by the engine. We know from physics that mass of our body
or the mass of the chair on which we sit is energy. Only the form
and expression of this energy is different. All is energy and we too
are an energy in that our bodies are composed of mass and energy
animates our life. We can learn an enormous amount about energy
just by studying Physical Creation.
However, as discussed above, it is necessary to see energy as non
physical and the physical, in particular mass, as only an expression
or one form that energy can take. Accepting the
unseen aspect of
energy is not too difficult for physicists have characterized some
of this unseen aspect of energy as an electric and magnetic field
and have observed the effects of these fields. Through their
understanding they have created many technological advances with the
use of this unseen aspect of energy such a all radio transmission,
radar, satellite communications and the like. Additionally,
physicist have come to observe energy has a
wave particle nature and the energy can appear as a wave or
particle depending on how we choose to observe. But, more
importantly, they have come to understand that energy is both a wave
and a particle that even when the energy is localized in the form of
a particle it still has a wave nature that permeates Creation
extending out to infinity. Infinitesimal as this aspect of energy
may be, it nevertheless still exists.
All that needs to be accepted here is that there is an
unseen aspect
to energy in
Physical Creation and that there is an part of this
unseen aspect that can be controlled and manipulated by
consciousness if it is aware and awake as to how energy operates.
Energy is controlled by consciousness by how consciousness directs
and
focuses its
attention and awareness.
This awareness of the
unseen energy and the ability to manipulate
the unseen energy of
Physical Creation by understanding how energy
functions is the doorway into the unseen realms.
The energy of the unseen
(Top)
Although it is difficult for a
human to understand because we do not experience it directly, there
is an
unseen aspect to energy that is influenced if not directly
controlled by our consciousness. Accepting the unseen of energy is
not too difficult. Accepting the unseen can be controlled by our
consciousness is usually more difficult. It is to understand that
although
our awareness is localized in a physical body, a part of
our awareness expands and permeates all of Creation. Although our
awareness outside our body is infinitesimally small, we can
nevertheless
focus our
attention and awareness to increase our
awareness of any one aspect of Creation inside or outside our body.
The key to the
unseen energy is understanding consciousness and the
realization that energy and consciousness are one and the same
thing. Each is the ability and/or capacity to
produce an effect.
Each is a different form of the same thing which is called
energy consciousness in the
Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material. As long as we believe the energy is physical, we will see
that which is spiritual as somehow separate and removed from
Physical Creation. Given the finite nature of our
current mind, we will be unable to fully
consciously experience the true oneness
and interconnectedness of Creation. It will appear as thought there
are unseen realms that are inaccessible to us. However, if we can
see energy and consciousness as different expressions of the same
material of Creation, all of Creation is open to us. All that needs
to be recognized is that our awareness is energy consciousness
experiences looking inward and energy is energy consciousness
experienced in looking outward.
Creation, energy and
consciousness (Top)
Creation arises from a flow of
energy.
Creation/creation
is the experience of consciousness of a flow of energy within a
particular environment. Creation is about the expression and
unfoldment of a
flow of energy as it is directed by consciousness within a given
environment. The flow of energy within a particular environment, in
discussed in the topic “Environment
and Unfoldment of a Creation” the environment and the creation
are integrally linked. How the flow of energy is, or is not, free to
flow determines the type and kind of creation we experience.
Consciousness
creates the experience of creation by binding or “fixing” the energy
into a particular pattern and then
forgets how it does it so as to be able to experience the
creation.
The
role of consciousness is to be the cause of the flow. Energy
flows to create an experience of where consciousness
focuses its
attention and awareness. The
intention we hold causes a flow of energy that flows along the
path of least resistance. This flow of energy will eventually
manifest in an experience of what we
desire within
the environment
we find ourselves if we
hold our intention with unwavering faith and
as a
single point focus for our life. In many ways, the process is
automatic. All we need to do is hold focus consciously or
non consciously. If we are going to manifest what we desire, we
need to
surrender to the flow of energy that will give rise to what we
desire and
trust the Creative Power of the Universe and the
creative/creation process will carry we to manifest our desired
creation.
