The starting point
Accept conditions as they exists
The intention we hold
A
properly perspective
The issue we
face
A unique
journey
As the ancient proverb states, “A journey of a thousand miles starts
one step at a time.” The first step, our starting point is here and
now, in this moment. We start from where ever we are. Each moment
provides a new starting point if we are willing to embrace it as
such. It is never too late or never too early to start. We need not
worry about becoming lost or getting of track. We simply start where
we are.
To embrace the current moment as a starting point to create and take
that first step, there are a few things which need to be considered.
The are to accept conditions as they are, being consciously aware of
the intention we hold and having a properly perspective.
Accept conditions as they exists
(Top)
First we need to accept and become aware of conditions as they
currently exist. We cannot rely on hopeful or wishful thinking. We
need to start with what is and look at the
conditions we face and ask and listen for the answer to the
question, “If I am a creator, how and why would I create the
conditions that I currently experience?”
We need to realize there are flows of energy,
deep undercurrents of
energy, that are giving rise to the experiences we have and that are
carrying us through life. We will eventually need to peel the
layers
of Creation or the
layers within our own being to access what is
giving rise to the flow of energy creating the experience we have to
change it at its source. Exploring the origin of the flows of energy
giving rise to the experiences we have starts with our intention.
The intention we hold
(Top)
After accepting conditions as they are, the next step is to work
with our intention. It is to set a
clear intention for what we wish
to create. But it is also to realize we carry conscious and
nonconscious intentions. These conscious and nonconscious
intentions
have created flows of energy which we are now experiencing and or
will experience.
To explore and discover the depth and breadth of our creativity
and/or to become
our truth, we need to
set the intention to do so.
It is not about saying we want to do the exploration. It is to
desire to take the journey and take action to do the exploration. In
setting the intention, we need to become very clear on what we
desire. We can iterate our intention as we get further clarity but
we should be very clear about what we want. To discover and explore
the depth and breadth of our creativity is not exactly the same as
becoming
our truth. Similarly we can access our
unlimited creativity
and/or the Source of Creation and not live our truth. The question
is really about, “What do we desire to create in and with our life
and why?”
In setting an intention we need to understand that there are already
several intentions governing our life. We are governed by a
composite intention of
conscious, subconscious and unconscious intentions. The process of exploring this composite intention starts
with clarity of our conscious intention.
Clarity of intention is
probably the single greats creative tool we have at our disposal.
But clarity of intention is not just knowing with clarity what we
want. It includes having
pulled the string and knowing why we want
what we do and what feeling we desire to experience. We need to look
to see why we desire to take the journey.
What needs to be understood about the intention we hold is that it
is capable of blinding us as to the truth as to how we create our
experiences and maybe even blind us as to what to do. If we take
this journey to relieve our
pain, to relieve a dissatisfaction, to
remove boredom, to seek power or anything other than to explore the
depth and breadth in the innocence of
childlike play to exploration
and discovery your own being then our journey will be hard. It will
be hard because we are not seeing the full picture. For example, if
we desire to escape pain and/or seek happiness, we will not explore
the
origins of our pain and be unaware of the
gift of pain because
of focus is in the opposite direction. We will be unaware of what
pain provides and what it is communicating to us.
We are blinded by our desires and intention in the sense they are a
focus of our attention and awareness and that focus causes us to
look in one direct and not in other directions. To hold a
perspective that a problem can be solved causes us to see things we
would not see if we consider the problem is unable to be solved. The
limits and boundaries imposed by our desire and intention can hold
our creativity captive without realize it. The intention we hold
will greatly bias what we find because we don’t or are unwilling to
explore all possibilities.
This is one reason why clarity of intention is so important.
Although our intention will bias what we find and blind us to
certain aspects, the clarity of the intention gives us some idea of
how we are blinded. When then have the option of exploring other
than where we have been focus. Also, in knowing that we are biased
by the intention we hold, we can choose an intention that is broad
enough such that what it limits will be in areas that are not of
concern. For example to set the intention to explore the depth and
breadth of our creativity, we will not necessary be drawn to look at
what others can creator or what creative potential exists beyond
what we can access. But, that is really not an issue since we are
only focus on our creativity. However, if we wish to assist another,
we cannot assume the depth and breadth of our creativity will be the
same an another for we are each are unique
individualized consciousness with different body and different life experiences.
To obtain
clarity of intention we will need to
pull the string on
the intention we hold. We need to explore the “why?” behind the
conscious intention we hold. Relative to our
unlimited creativity we
need to explore why do we wish to access our unlimited creativity?
Do we seek to relieve the longing within our heart? Do we seek to
find a partner in life? Do we desire power? Do we desire a world
that better serves us? Do we desire a world that better serves
others?
If we explore creativity and how we expand or contract our creative
power, what we will come to understand is that to become creatively
self empowered, it is not so much what we do but understanding why
we do what we do. The why or reason behind the intention we have for
what we do has greater control over our
creative
ability and creative power than one can first imagine.
Conscious creating is about becoming the cause to the events in our
life as opposed to responding to events. For most of us, our
creativity occurs subconsciously. It is based on how and what we
have come to think and believe based on the experiences we have had
and how we respond to life based on those past events. To gain
control over what we are creating it is necessary to allow the
subconscious to become conscious relative to what we desire to
create. To do that we need a perspective or way of looking at the
Creation which allows for that to easily occur. Our effort starts
with developing such a perspective - a creativity perspective. The
material on this website is designed to help you to being to develop
a creativity perspective. Without a creativity perspective, it is
unlikely we will ever be able
hold our creativity sacred and release
our
unlimited creativity. Exploring the “why?” which lies behind our
intention takes us into the realm of our
belief structure and the
perspective we hold.
A properly perspective
(Top)
The single, biggest, most significant issue that prevents us from
accessing
our inherent creativity is the perspective we hold about
creativity, who we are and how Creation works. What has been found
is that more often than not, we do not have the understanding to
truly understand the experiences we have - especially the experience
of our own life.
It has been observed individuals routinely have profound creative
experiences, many of them
mystical experiences of highest order.
However they do not have the understanding and/or belief system to
truly understand what they have experienced when they have the
experience. Sometimes they never understand it.
The issue of the need to have a proper perspective is so profound
it
started a journey and exploration into creativity. It was the
catalyst to find
an alternative way for people to get past the
illusion mind creates that keeps them from accessing the truth of
their own being and access their
unlimited creativity to create what
they desire. In the exploration of creativity, no perspective was
found sufficiently broad enough to encompass the true depth and
breadth of
our inherent creativity
and
creative
ability and creative power and what
is available to us. The evidence suggests one was never created
simply because we simply did not
explore our assumptions about
what
it means to be human.
So the first specific recommendation to explore the depth and
breadth of our
unlimited creativity is, “Be aware -
it is in our
assumptions we find our problems?” On this point, believe it or not,
what we think and believe is actually an assumption on our part.
At
the most fundamental levels, Creation does not work the way our
mind
perceives reality. Yet, we keep trying to force reality to be what
we want it to be. The struggle between what is and
what mind wants
and perceives gives rise to much of the
pain we face in life.
Contrary to what we come to think and believe about creativity, the
unseen realms and the like, most of us, including those who profess
to know, do not have an adequate perception to enter
a truly
creative endeavor and have our
mind to know what to do and/or
necessary understand what exactly it is experiencing. By its very
definition “to create” is to bring into existing that which is
original, not previously seen or experienced or significantly
different than the past. Mind only knows the past and what it has
experienced. To create is to be outside what mind knows. Anything we
think and believe about creativity, our
creative
ability and creative power, and/or how to create whatever we desire is probably
in error. The question is, “How big is the error and how
significantly different is what we desire to create from the past we
experienced?”
What is presented here is for truly creative endeavors where our
mind will be significantly in error. It is for those situations were
what we desire to create is significantly different than the past we
have experienced. One such creative endeavor is to freely live
our truth for we have not done so with our conscious mind in this life
time. This material is applicable to anything we wish to create in
and/or with our life.
Here a note needs to be made about what we desire to create. If we
desire to create something another has already been created, we are
not creating but copying. It may be a new experience for us but we
are not creating when we do what another has done. In this case, we
need to go to them and see what they did and learn to do what they
did. In this case we do not need what is presented here to get what
we want.
Now if we wish to create something like another has done but do it
our own unique way, then we face a different set of issues. Here we
dance between two worlds -
our world and
their world - and it
actually makes what we wish to create harder than if we were free to
create totally unique to ourselves.
It needs to be understood, the perspective we hold can, and will,
blind us to the true depth and breadth of our
creative
ability and creative power to become
our truth and/or access our
unlimited creativity. We need to have a perspective of ourselves and of
Creation that is of sufficient depth and breadth to allows us to
embrace our truth and sufficiently broad enough to encompass the
depth and breadth of our creativity.
The perspective we hold needs to be able to
hold
our creativity sacred. If the perspective we hold about ourselves or of Creation
causes us to deny our creativity and what we seek to create in any
ways, we rob ourselves of our
creative
ability and creative power. It is essential to look to a way to view ourselves and
Creation where we can hold our creative ability sacred.
Additionally, the perspective we hold is important in that we need a
perspective that allows us to understand the whole
creative process.
If we are going to access our
unlimited creativity and
our
birthright to become the conscious creator of our experiences, we
will need some understanding as to how the creation process works.
Understanding of the
creative/creation process is what will allows
to capitalize on what we access.
In exploring creativity and
our inherent creative
ability, it has been observed there are only two ways that seem
to exist where we can keep a perspective that allows us to see how
the universe works without getting stuck in an ego. One is to live “out of mind”
relying solely on our
intuitive guidance on and
body wisdom. The
second way is to hold the perspective that we are the creator of our
body and the entire world as it is. Although this perspective may be
hard to accept, it is not untrue based on
the way energy physically
manifests.
The
creativity perspective developed through the use of the
Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material was designed to
address these issue about our perspective. It provides a perspective
that simultaneously gives
creative power/Creative Power and creative
responsibility to each individual and to Creation whether it is seen
as God or some other
consciousness/Consciousness. It allows us to
both step
out of mind
relying on our
intuitive guidance and
body wisdom and see how it is possible we are the creators of our body
and the world we experience.
As to whether this perspective is correct and whether or not it is
“The” or “A” correct view of Creation is not as important. What is
important is the perspective provides a way to find options that are
otherwise unobtainable and the responsibility is place on the us to
act on what we find to use what is effective in our life and our
creative endeavors.
The recommendation made here is to
eat and digest what is found in
the
Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity material and develop a
perspective the is expansive enough to suit our creative needs,
including developing our own unique
perspective.
The issue we face
(Top)
The issue we all face, given the
nature of Creation, is that
consciousness can, and will, mold itself into an experience of that
on which it focuses its attention and awareness. We each are a
unique individualized consciousness. We each have the ability to
mold ourselves true to who and what we are or we are
free to mold
ourselves into the image of another. The
nature of the physical
experience as a human being is to mold ourselves into a
form
determined by our physical environment and the society in which we
incarnate.
The question is how do we become
our truth given the fact
so many have been taught to deny the truth within their being to
satisfy the external world.
We are fully capable of creating anything we wish and we can
transform ourselves to become whatever we wish to become. We only
need to set the
clear intention to do so and hold it with unwavering
faith until it manifests in a
form supportable by the environment in which we find ourselves.
If we want a
gentle transformation, we will need
to set the
intention to do so to the extent possible. If we are worried about
the people in our lives no longer liking us or somehow being
displease with our actions, we simply needs to set the intention
that those who see us different and no longer acceptable are gently
lead to where they are safe and secure. The list for what we intend
can go on and on. We simply needs to become very clear in the
intentions we have and hold them with unwavering faith surrendering
to the
creation process. In doing so, we will find we can create any
experience and reality we chose.
It may take awhile, but it will happen.
A unique journey
(Top)
Becoming
our truth to accessing and releasing our
unlimited creativity is a unique journey. The uniqueness of the journey cannot
be over emphasized nor can the personal nature of the journey.
Another cannot do it for us. Another cannot really guide us. Another
can advise us and we can learn from the experience of others. No one
will or can live our truth for us nor can the tell us how to do it.
We will have to pursue
our own creativity and creative desires. We
have to learn how to follow our
intuitive guidance and navigate into
the creative unknown with our
internal compass and our intuitive
guidance.
Others can give ways and methods but ultimately each of us will need
to do what the we need to do. Another can only do three things for
us. They can provide us their path and/or the
lessons learned and
wisdom gain by others on their journey and educate us about how
creation/Creation works. They can hold us accountable to our own
intuitive guidance and/or play the “devil’s advocate” so that we do
not loose focus what we need to do. They can give us a
safe and secure space and the
freedom to do what we need to do to allow our
creative spirit to unfold true to itself. To follow the lead of
another is to only cause ourselves to be lead astray. Using the
Fifteen Creative Step/Guidelines is one way these three things can
be accomplished between any two individuals for each other.
Our path to express
our truth in the world is unique. We are a
unique
infinitely creative being. There is no one like us. Whatever
we need to do and experience to access and release our
unlimited creativity will be unique to us. There will be many similarities
with the journey taken by others. Some parts are common. Some parts
directly overlap. Some will be totally new.
The most important understanding that can be offered anyone
attempting to access and release their
unlimited creativity is two
fold. One is to take the perspective of the
detached witness. The
second is to look to everything we
experiences as only symbolic and
a metaphor as something deeper the consciousness which created the
experience is desiring to communicate. It is to understand that
creativity is the language of consciousness. Whatever we create is a
communication to both ourselves and to others from our own
creative spirit. Whatever we experience as created by another is a
communicate to us and a communication of the creator of that
experience to itself. The questions is, “What is it that we or they
really trying to communicate?”
