Creation in all its forms
manifests from the unformed essence of creation. The unmanifested
material of creation is free and unbounded or
nonlocalized energy and/or free and unbounded or undefined
consciousness. The conscious experience of this unmanifested
material of creation we be a place of “no-thing-ness”
or “no-form” All Creation and creative activities can be seen as
starting with this unmanifested
raw material of Creation.
Free and unbounded energy is energy not in any fixed form. It has
not been localized. When viewed from the
wave-particle nature of energy, free and unbounded energy is
energy existing total in a massless wave nature and not localized
into any particular form. Analogously, it is much like the way
molten iron exists in blast furnace just before it is poured into a
mold or the molten lava within a volcano before it pours out forming
a new land mass.
Free and unbounded consciousness is consciousness free of
attachments. It is free of the past memories that keep the
consciousness fixed and occupied in the past. Free and unbounded
consciousness freely flows like the wind into and out of the
experiences of Creation. It exists as that
detached witness only observing and witness the experience which
is occurring. There is no identification with what occurs.
However, for a new creation to occur we need to get the existing
creation into that raw unmanifested form. The cauldron of
creation/Creation refers to the part of the
creative/creation process where the existing creation is
dissolved and the energy freed to form a new creation. The
experience of the dissolving of the existing creation can be
experience as a “heating up”or stripping away process or fire such
as the fire seen in the
phoenix experience. If some ways you can say the cauldron of
creation/Creation is the
sacrifice of creation
put on the fire to be burned or melted. If we are unwilling to let
go and allow the changes required by the creative effort to occur we
can experience a
dark night of the soul. If we surrender and allow the changes to
occur, we can experience a release and free flow of energy described
by many as a
kundalini experience.
Many of the esoteric traditions which talk about creation/Creation
and/or Creation Stories/Myths talk about Creation starting from a
place of “no-thing-ness”
or a void. They assume and/or imply there was a starting point.
Rather than creation/Creation starting from some formless void,
creation/Creation is an every flowing into and out of form. The void
exists only because of the perspective we have taken from which to
view the process and there are
multiple perspectives from which to view the
creative/creation process.
What needs to be understood is whenever we create, we will start the
creative/creation process from where we are. This means we start
the process from within some existing form. We do not start from a
formless starting point. Rather, we must dissolve the current form
into the formless and the mold the formless into what we desire. The
cauldron of creation/Creation refers to that part of the
creative/creation process where the existing form is dissolved to be
recast into the new form. In this regard, it may be something that
occurs once in the process or something that is continually occurs
as the existing form is continually being recast into sustain the
creation. Or, it may exist like earth where a part is fixed as the
outer crust and an inner molder core continually reforming the crust
over time.
One reason why many of us don’t see the
creative/creation process for what it is is because we do not go
back to the formless to start and watch our creative endeavors. That
is, we do not routinely work with energy that exists in a
nonlocalized form. Rather we work with energy in the form of
mass and move objects with mass. Working with non localized energy
in a way that is somewhat understood is really only a relatively
recent phenomenon in human history.
Also we never work with an awake consciousness unbiased by its own
experiences. Consciousness by its very nature and
the method of it awakening only knows what it has experienced.
All of our thinking and perceiving is done with a consciousness
attached to its prior experiences. As a human being our prior
experience tends to be focused on that gained in our human body with
it associated
ego. Even those who communicate with “spirit guides,” and other
similar unseen entities and working with entities attached to a
transcendental ego are working with an existing form. If you
notice, they all have names, they all have identities, they all have
some form.
The process to dissolve the existing form into the material to be
used for a new creation can be seen as a cauldron or blast furnace
that melts and dissolves all existing form to allow the material to
flow into a new creation. The Cauldron of Creation is to creation
what a blast furnace is to iron and steel. The process is much like
the way an old piece of structural steel must be cast into the
furnace to be melted and poured into a new cast to create its new
future.
To make iron or steel we need to put the raw materials into a blast
furnace. To cast a piece of iron into a particular shape or form,
you must first heat it up to form a liquid. In this liquid form the
iron’s original shape or form totally dissolves such that the iron
no longer has a shape to itself. In this state it is completely
fluid and will freely take the shape of the contain which hold its.
While melting the iron in the furnace, one usually needs some type
of container to hold the iron as it melts so the cauldron is that
container and, as such, the cauldron represents the pool of
available molten iron. The blast furnace is in many ways like a
cauldron over a fire. The cauldron is also representative of the
vessel you empty to create and you put all the existing creation you
need to reprocess into the cauldron to be melded down in the fire of
transformation. However, unless you create a container that has the
space into which you can melt and recast your existing creation, you
cannot dissolve the existing creation.
In the cauldron the raw materials are allowed to melt and the
impurities and separated from the iron. Then the proper additives
are added to turn the iron into steel. Any existing form of the
input materials is lost. How hot the cauldron must become before it
melts what is inside depends on how strongly the atoms of the
material are bonded together. In time, they are melded down into an
unmanifested and undefined form so that it can be remolding into our
new creation.
For any intention we wish to manifest, a part of our existing
internal world and existing external world will need to be cast into
the Cauldron of Creation. To create any new creation, you must
create that empty container within your being to hold the material
that will be recast into the new creation. In some way the inner
transformation that is required is analogous to a volcano. This is
one reason why the volcano is such a good representation of the
transformation process that needs to occur within our own being. In
the same way the lava, which is the molten rock, is contained within
a container made of rock, so too in our own being. We need to heat
our selves up to dissolve our existing internal structure. To create
from within our own being, our existing belief structure must become
so structured that it can both melt and dissolve any aspect of our
being we wish to create yet at the same time hold the hot molten
material until it is ready to be poured into the cast we have made.
This is why a strong
ego is needed to become a conscious creator. The strong ego is
needed to create the structure that can hold its visions and dream
in a
single point focus while the heat is increased within the
individual such that their existing world melts and dissolves. Then
at some point the ego must be surrendered and the molten material
allows to flow into the cast that has been prepared where it will
harden and solidify into a new creation of one’s own making. We
literally must create a volcano within our own being to transform
and create a new reality.
How hot the cauldron must become before it melts what is inside
depends on how strongly the atoms of the material are bonded
together. So too with want needs to be melted and recast in our
life. The more we hold onto what needs to be let go, the hotter the
fire must become to break our attachments or, of course, we can let
go of what we wish to create and leave the world as it is. The
burning away of attachments for any is experience as a
dark night of the soul. It is what we feel as our attachments
with the world as we know it are stripped away yet we are not free
to let them go. Rather than flowing with the process, we attempt to
hold to past. That, in turn, gives rise to an experience of
pain. Because there is such fire in this reformation process
calling what we experience as the cauldron of creation is the most
appropriate analogy The choice will always be ours as to how hot the
fire must become and how much pain we wish to endure.
This heat of reformation has been described as the
kundalini rising. There is an extremely good chance you will
feel extremely sexual and a sexuality you have never felt before.
These feelings of sexuality arise from inside the heart from the
flow of our
creative life energy as it breaks free of the past confinements
created by the
mind.
The Cauldron of Creation lies at the
point of our creative power. It is here in this moment that we
direct the flow of our
creative life energy into a new creation. The intentions we
subconsciously and/or consciously hold at this time become very
important. For they direct that form this molten form will take.
