Any creative endeavor is to bring
into existence something not previously experienced and/or
significantly different from the past. One view is that we must
enter the unknown to find what we need to manifest what we desire.
However, there is another view. It is the view that all already
exists. We just don't see it because of how our attention and awareness
is focused. In this second case, there is something that is blocking
us from seeing and/or experiencing what we desire to have. Here the
condition we face is not so much the unknown as such, but rather
what is within our own mind that keeps us from seeing that path to
what we desire.
Creation can be seen as a vast pool of oscillating energy moving
into and out of form. All arises out of the experience we have
of this energy moving into and out of form. What we experience is
simply based on how we focus our attention and awareness. When we
shift our focus, we can see into the future and/or into the past for
there are
deep undercurrents giving rise to Creation. How accurately we
see is another issue. But we can see. We can know how we should or
shouldn’t respond in any situation. If we are present in the moment,
we can feel the changes before they come. Although we can not be
fully prepared for the changes before the come, we an have a
reasonable idea of how to move.
For example, animals have been observed to sense certain changes
such a earthquakes or forest fires. We tend to try and explain such
events for example saying the animals are more sensitive changes in
the local magnetic field as a result of the earthquake or they can
smell the fire before the fire actually comes. It doesn’t matter how
we try and explain what they sense. What is important to realize is
we are made of the same “stuff “of creation/Creation of which they
are made. That is, somewhere within our being, we have the same
types and kinds of abilities. We can sense the seen and unseen
realms of Creation. We only have not developed those abilities.
To be aware of the conditions we face, and develop such abilities,
we need to be living in the moment as a
detached witness. To be in the moment our attention and
awareness must be focused on what you are doing and on the situation
at hand. Our mind cannot be preoccupied with worrying about other
things.
It is said in this material that our
creative life energy flows to create an experience that on which
we have placed the focus of our attention and awareness. Relative to
creative endeavors, it needs to be realized that if we do create our
experiences and the reality of those experiences by how we focus our
attention and awareness it is only the focus of our attention and
awareness which is obstructing what we desire to experience. To
manifest what we desire it is an issue of changing our focus.
However, most often what we face in a creative endeavor is external
to us. There are things we need to do in the world and there are
things the world has not given us that we need to create what we
desire. It appears that our creative endeavors are held hostage by
the external world. However, as discussed in the topics the “Implications
of Pair Production in Our Creative Endeavors,” “The
Bridge Point of the Inner and Outer Creative Power,” and the “Environment
and Unfoldment of a Creation,” our inner world is reflected
externally and they are connected like a paper cut out and its hole.
Although the external world and the issue which we need to face in
the external world seem separate from us, they are integrally
connected to how we have focused our attention and awareness.
The conditions we face are ultimately the internal landscape our
creative life energy must flow through to manifest what we
desire. The
intention we hold creates a flow of energy. That flow of energy
is what gives rise to the experience we desire. It flows the
path of least resistance through our internal landscape to give
us the experience we desire.
The internal environment consists of the landscape created by our
beliefs structure. It also gives rise to the creation we experience
externally. The environment in which it will flow is determined by
our conscious, subconscious and unconscious beliefs and intentions.
They form a mental landscape across which the flow of our
creative life energy as determined by the intention we hold must
flow to manifest what we desire. Fear, past memories, the beliefs we
hold and the like create this landscape. More often than not it is
the fear and
pain of the past which arise as obstacles to what we desire to
create. We may experience the obstacle externally in some way, but
ultimately they lie within. They lie along the path on which the
energy if flowing to manifest our desired intention. These fears and
past memories are part of and inherent to what gives rise to our
internal landscape as it exists. They cannot be avoided. It is only
natural that they arise as our creative life energy flows through
that landscape.
The internal landscape is much like the terrain of a continent
determines the rate and pattern of flow of a river traveling across
that terrain. As we change our conscious, subconscious and
unconscious beliefs and intentions and address the fear and
pain of the past, we change the terrain or landscape across
which the flow of energy created by our intention must flow. Hence,
we can change the rate at which what we desire can manifest if we do
the correct mental work.
What needs to be realized is that if we fear one thing or another,
internally or externally, it is only the past surfacing to obstruct
our creative endeavors. When fear does surface, we can use the
wisdom and
lessons learned of the past. We can wisely use what we fear to
provide ways to address any hazards, new or old, that may be found
in the unknown. The key to making any journey safe is to not walk
blindly. It is to walk both internally and externally in mindfulness
and awareness of the conditions we face as they arise and
incorporate the lessons learned by us or another, as appropriate,
for our creative endeavor.
Key to this process is our
creative imagination. It is there we can go and experiment and
explore in the safety of our own mind the options that are available
to us. We can then bring those options out into the world through a
ritual or
metatheater to pilot test them to see how they feel and to get
an idea of how successful they could be.
What needs to be realized is that the
creative imagination is the equivalent of the
classroom experience of a subject. The manifestation of that
idea is the equivalent of the laboratory experience. The
laboratory
or experiential part allows us to feel the energy of the idea
flowing into manifestation in Creation. Creation of a
ritual or
metatheater allows us to feel the energy to know if it is the
feeling we desire to create. It may not feel exactly the same as the
real experience, but it will give us a good idea as to whether or
not we are moving in the correct direction for what we desire to
create.
We will have to experience the two and explore different options and
how different environments affect the manifestation. There is an
enormous amount of information we can gain to understand how to
manifest what we desire before we cast it into a form that is hard
to reverse. It needs to be realized that some environments are
readily supportive of our desires and others do not. But the fact
your current environment does not support our creative endeavors
only means you may have to change the environment to create what you
desire. The question is, “How?” The answer to this question lies
within how we have focus our attention and awareness.
