The fundamental and most important
understanding we can have about how we create is our
creative life energy goes flow to create an experience of that on which we focus
our attention and awareness. Alternatively said, our energy goes
where we focus our attention and awareness. Hence it is essential to
have a very
clear intention held as a
single point focus. However,
it needs to be understood, we can focus our attention and awareness
consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously.
A conscious focus of our attention and awareness is to look at
something, think about something or actively contemplating
something. To consciously focus our attention and awareness we can
do what is done in contemplation and/or a
meditation practice. Such
things as repeating a mantra, looking at some symbol, holding some
particular yogic position and the like are ways we consciously
focus. Yet, anything that keeps our attention and awareness focused
is adequate such as the use of a
muse,
contemplation,
reading
material,
movies, TV shows, a view of nature,
rituals, ceremonies,
or anything else or any activity which inspires us. One important
aspect of
holding the focus of our
attention and awareness is what also instills
passion and
a desire to act to create. The more passion the
object of our focus holds, the greater our capability to manifest
it. This is why the muse can be so effect. The muse by its very
definition inspires and causes the passion to create to arise.
Subconscious focusing of attention and awareness is done by our
belief structure, the beliefs we hold, our memories and how we hold
and bind our
creative life energy in those memories. It doesn’t
matter if we judge a particular memory good or bad, pleasurable or
painful. Any memory which holds any amount of energy is a
subconscious focus of our attention and awareness. We can choose to
subconsciously focus our attention and awareness. For example, we
can create a
ritual, ceremony or an experience which holds great
emotional energy for us. By working with our memories through
activities like emotionally filled rituals and experiences we can
change our subconscious programming to fit our creative needs.
Similarly, someone can program us by creating an emotionally filled
experience in which we somehow participate or observe and then carry
the memory of that experience. The intent of many advertisements are
to attach a product or service to our emotionally filled memories so
that we associate the product/service with the feelings of that
memory.
Unconscious focusing of our attention and awareness is to solidify
or
bind our
creative life energy to a relative fixed, if not rigidly
fixed form. For example, our
creative spirit incarnating into a
human body fixes and binds our
creative life energy to the human
experience for the duration of our body’s life. Some habits border
on the subconscious and unconscious in terms of how rigid they are.
Unconscious focused attention and awareness is very difficult to
change. To change this focus, we need to access the
intention for our life and/or change what it means
to be human. This seems
difficult to do. But we do it quite frequently in today’s world.
Many of the miracles of modern science have changed what it means to
be human and/or allowed some of us to move past the limitations of
our body created by our unconscious focus of our attention and
awareness.
Our challenge is to become very clear on what we desire to create
and surface the subconscious and/or unconscious focus of our
attention and awareness which may be robbing us of our
creative power and creative
ability which is directing them in a way
that is unsupportive of what we desire to create. The advice and
method as to how to go about doing this work is as varied as there
are people. The recommendation made here is to ask your
intuitive guidance “What do I need to do and/or what does it look like that I
need to do to surface ....(whatever).” Then
honor the intuitive guidance that you receive.
