How does creation get started
A
question of great division
How
creation gets started
To look at the question, “How does
creation, any creation, get started?” is to look at the proverbial
question, “What comes first, the chicken or the egg?”. Did the
chicken give rise to the egg or did the egg give rise to the
chicken.
A question of great division
(Top)
There is an issue that has divided
many for centuries and it is the same issue as “What came first, the
chicken or the egg?” It is the struggle between the theory of
evolution and the concept of God when it comes to where did Creation
come from or how did Creation arise.
The question is, “Did God create Creation or did Creation evolve?”
Which ever view you take you are still stuck with the same question
but seen in a different way. If God created Creation, the question
is, “From where did God come from?” The answer is, “God always was,
that what is meant by God” If Creation evolved, the question is,
“From what did Creation evolve?” The answer is, “Creation evolved
from the stuff of Creation and always was.” These arguments just
leads to the idea, whatever God is and whatever the stuff of
Creation is, they are ultimately the same. Both give rise to the
same Creation.
Or if you say, “Creation arose out of nothing,” the question is the,
“How did it evolve out of nothing?” If you say, “God created it out
of nothing?” you are still stuck with the question, “From which did
God come from?” If you say, “God always was,” then God is just the
stuff out of which Creation arose. This implies either God is
nothing or God is something which we don’t understand. Or, maybe we
understand what happened and we just are not looking at the issue in
the correct way Maybe we are not looking at the facts for what they
really tell us. That is, we are trying to explain a process which
gave rose to our existence without stepping out of the process to
see the whole process. This issue is discussed in the topic, “Multiple
Perspectives from which to view the creative/creation process.”
When we do shift our view, what we can discover, if we are open to
seeing it, is that the
creation/Creation we experience, all of it, starts with each of
us. Exactly how this is possible is the basis of this discussion.
How creation gets started
(Top)
The discussions “Energy
- the Invariant in the Creativity Perspective” and the “Interdisciplinary
Aspect of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity Technology”
discuss the equivalence of energy and consciousness. This is the key
to understanding how it is possible that we create both our
experiences and the reality of those experiences. It provides the
basis as to how
creation/Creation works.
It needs to be remember, energy is the ability or capacity to
produce an effect. To be conscious is to be awake and aware. To be
awake and aware is to be able to choose between options within any
environment. That awareness of choice and action is what allows us
to make things happen. To make things happen is just to cause an
effect. When we are awake and aware we possess energy.
Energy “works” to produce an effect by flowing from a place greater
potential or greater energy to one of lower potential or lower
energy. A ball rolls down a hill because the ball on the top of the
hill has more energy than the ball at the bottom of the hill. In
rolls down the hill the “potential” or energy stored at the top of
the hill is released. The potential or stored energy is converted
into the energy of motion of ball rolling. Because the moment of the
ball we have something to observe. We have a creation. If there is
no movement there is nothing to observe. All
creation/Creation arises from the movement between two points of
observation. In this regard, it can be said all of creation/Creation
arises from a flow of energy.
It can also be said the ball rolls down the hill because of the
tension or the pull of gravity. That is the mass of the ball and the
mass of the earth pull on each other. The ball is pulled to the
center of the earth and the earth is pulled toward the center of the
ball. The ball, being much smaller is the one we see moving. If the
ball and earth were of the same mass, each would be moving equally
fast toward each other. Of course, if we stood on one ( the ball
with a mass equal to earth or the earth) the other would be seen as
the one doing all the moving.
Now think for a minute of a completely flat surface. The ball rest
on that surface. Ever point on that surface is of the same
potential. That is, there is no place for the ball to roll. No hills
to roll down, no holes to roll into. It is the difference in height
that gives rise to a tension between the ball and the surface.
Without a tension to pull the ball there can be no movement. This
fact gives rise to the whole concept of force in physics. That is, a
force is a push or pull on an object that causes it to move. Because
of the existence of the force of gravity, the pull of the mass of
one object on another, such as the mass of the earth pulling on the
ball, there is movement.
The key to movement is a push or pull. The push or pull is a tension
between two things. To have a tension you need one thing pulling or
pushing on another thing. This is the essence of
creation/Creation - all creation. The question is, “What pushes
or pulls?”
Remember to be aware and awake is to be able to choose between
alternatives. To chose anything is to create its opposite, namely,
that which you did not choose. A choice creates a tension. A choice
creates a push or a pull. We push ourselves away from what we do not
like and pull ourselves toward what we do like. There is an inherent
tension between that which is chosen and that which is not chosen.
That tension provides the energy for Creation. The movement toward
the choice or the movement away from choice is creation unfolding.
We do not have to be consciously aware of the choice we make to make
a choice. We do not have to be aware that we are moving toward the
warmth of the sun because it feels good. Yet in moving, a choice has
been made.
creation/Creation is as simple as that. The issue is the
magnitude of the complexity and how convoluted creation/Creation
becomes when you have a infinite number of ways to make choices or
have movement for or against something all occurring simultaneously.
For any consciousness to become aware of “I am” or “I exist” creates
a tension between the “I” and no awareness of “I.” As soon as
consciousness becomes aware of “I am” it is also starts to become
aware of all that the “I” is not. The “I” begins to define itself as
to what it is and what it is not.
We experience our awareness from within a human body so it is very
easy to define the “I” as our body and all that memories we have had
in this body. The “trick” to
creation/Creation is to realized the awareness that perceives
itself to be the body with the memories of being in that body is not
the body or those memories. It is only the witness of the events
which occurred in that body. It is a
detached witness in the sense that it is intimately aware of all
that happen and fully witnesses all that happens but it is detached
from what happens. That is, the events that happen are not really
happening to it but to the body from which it is observing and
experiencing Creation.
What needs to be understood about this conversation is conscious
awareness gives us the ability to create
something from nothing. That is, to create some thing from no
thing. Where no thing existed before, we can choose anything to come
into existence. It all starts from the “I” wanting something. The
“I” wants causes a tension to arise. That tension supplies the
energy. It is the energy for
creation/Creation. A flow of energy arises between the what “I”
wants and what “I” does not have. That flow of energy, moving from
not having toward having causes the awareness of consciousness to
have an experience of creation/Creation.
It is this fundamental, most basic tension of
creation/Creation which gives rise to the belief there must be a
God behind Creation. That is, some “I” desired to experience
Creation and Creation arose in response to that desire. But there is
a flow into separation “I do not have and I want” and a flow out of
separation by the “I not having” moving toward getting what it
wants. That flow is creation/Creation and it unfolds and evolves as
the “I not having” moves closer and closer to “I having” what it
wants. Hence the belief that Creation evolves. But is doesn’t so
much evolve as unfold.
Exactly how all of this works will always be difficult for us to
understand for we are in the
creative/creation process and we are unfolding every moment. We
in fact are, a
creative living process continually changing itself.
It is not about you or me having the mental ability to understand
it. It has nothing to do with mental ability and understanding.
Rather is about where we are in the
creative/creation process. It is about the difficulty in
standing apart from our experiences as that
detached witness. It is about choosing a perspective that allows
us to see the creative/creation process for what it is. A variety of
discussion such as “A
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective,” “The
Physics of the Creative/Creation Process,” “Understanding
We Are Each a Unique Creative Being of Infinite Consciousness,”
“Creating
Something form Nothing,” “The
World of Om,” and others are provided to help us understand how
all of this comes together.
The essential understanding with which it is suggested you leave
this discussion is that each thought we hold, each intention and
desire we have, creates a tension. That tension creates a flow of
energy for a creation to unfold. How much energy depends on how much
energy and passion we put into what we hold. A thought simply held
holds less energy that an intention or a desire. The more
passionately we intent or desire something the greater the energy
that goes into creating it. In this realization it become vitally
important we become mindful and aware of our thoughts, intention,
desires and the like. Then garden our mind to ensure that thoughts
we have and what we intend and desire
truly severs us and what we desire to create in and with our
life. It is recommend you consider creating
a life worth living and one that truly serves you and who and
what you see yourself to be at the deepest levels of your being.
How to make this simply principle work in your life to create what
you desire and understand why you may not get what you desire
quickly is the whole basis of the Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity materials. But although you may not see its effects
immediately in your life, it is essential that you begin to become
mindful and aware of the thoughts you have for they are the creative
seeds that grow and unfold for all that you experience in your life.
