Internal influences are those
internal forces that cause something to take a given shape that come
from inside the material. For physical materials, these internal
forces are determined by the atomic and molecular structure of the
material. For human, there are two internal influences. One is the
influences of our atomic and molecular structure. The influence
arise from our
mind and the expectations of our mind.
The internal influences that arise from our atomic and molecular
structure are those response and experiences we can have because of
our physical conditions. Some substances chemically cause reaction
within our body such that we feel and/or think one way or another. A
simple example is the way alcohol can affect our thinking and body
movement.
Relative to what arises from within our mind, there are two kinds of
influences. There are those influences that arise from the truth of
our being. These influences are consistent with the truth of who and
what we are, what we think and what we believe based on that truth.
Then there are those influences that arise not from our being but
rather what we have come to think we are based on our experiences in
life and our enculturation and other programming.
For example, many spiritual and religious traditions say that a
human being is a spirit having a physical experiences as opposed to
a human being having a spiritual experience. To be a spirit having a
physical experience, the essence of our being is that of a spirit.
To be a human being having a spiritual experience is to have the
essence of being physical and more of an biological animal. The
question is what are you really and can you live true to that truth
or does social conditioning and influences your thinking?
The Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity response to this question
would be that you are neither spirit or a physical being. Rather,
the essence of you is that you are an
infinitely creative being that exists as an awareness that has
choose to
localize itself in such a way as to have a physical experience.
To exist as a spirit is to localize your awareness in an experience
no different than how you would localize your awareness to have a
physical experience.
Within the
creativity perspective and relative to our
creative power/Creative Power, our essence is that of an
awareness. That is, who and what we are is an awareness that can
localize or place its consciousness into whatever from it
desires. We can place it into
non localized energy and perceive ourselves as a spirit which
transcends time and space. Or we can place it into a localized
energy in the form of a human body and experience life as a human.
This is our essence. Anything else we think about ourselves is only
what we have come to believe about ourselves as a result of the
experiences we have had and have choose to have.
Now what is important to realizes is that any time our
creative life energy becomes unbounded and free to flow into a
new creation as we release the energy bound in for example, past
painful memories, it is influenced by who and what we think we are.
It will flow differently if we see ourselves as an awareness
choosing to experience the flow of energy and directing it into a
particular creation as opposed to seeing ourselves as a human being
with a given identity who has freed itself from past hurt and
pain. When we see and experience ourselves as an awareness
creating a physical experience based on a chosen identity, we have
unlimited possibilities as to what we create. We have the option of
directing the freed energy into our currently given identity or we
can choose to create a completely new identity. However, if we
believe we are a human being or a spirit having a physical
experience we see ourselves as having freed ourselves from a past
painful memory. That energy then energy goes into reinforcing our
current identity. The possibilities of what we can create are
limited by that identity and how and what it thinks.
If we act from the awareness that the essence of who we are is an
awareness choosing to
localize itself in a physical body, as the energy that is
released in a transformation process reforms, we will become our
unique creation. There is a natural surrender to what is. That is,
we align with the truth of our being and align with the flow of our
creative life energy and creative passion as it is currently
being expressed in, and through, or chosen identity. In this process
we become the creator of our reality and our experiences. But we
surrender to the higher wisdom that created us whether we see that
higher wisdom as God, the Consciousness of All That Is ,or our own
internal wisdom that choose the physical experience. It doesn’t
matter how we see this
creator/Creator of our life. The effect is the same. We
surrender to what it has created.
If we act from the awareness that the essence of who we are is an
awareness choosing to create and we have an intention that we set
and hold, that intention is an internal influence. It will cause our
energy to form itself into that creation. Here we become the creator
of our reality and our experiences and fully exercise our
free will to choose what we desire to choose. We are, of course,
free to chose whatever we wish. There are no judgements on what we
choose. We only need to understand we will have to live the
repercussion and consequences of what we choose for the time and
place in which we live.
The most significant repercussion we have is that, as that
awareness, we have chosen, for one reason or another, to have a
physical experience governed by the
intention for our life. If what we choose to create with the
intention we hold is in alignment with the intention for our life,
there is an ease to what we create. If we choose an intention that
is totally opposed to the purpose of our life without going deep
enough into the
creative/creation process to change the purpose of our life, we
will be significantly scattering our energy and it will take a
strong will to create what we desire.
What needs to be understood in this process is that if one does not
step totally out of their existing ego in this process, the past
that we hold onto acts as an internal influence to cause us to
reform with that part intact. That is, that part of our past that we
don’t discard and recycle continues to influence anything new we
create and will be part of our future. This is one reason why it is
often important to come to an understanding of how and why we are
not our bodies nor the identity we have created for ourselves. If we
continue to believe we are our bodies and the identity we have
created, we will carry with us all that our body represents and what
that identity represents into the future.
If we are able to understand how and why we are not our bodies nor
the identity we have created, we carry our body and our identity
forward as a vehicle for a physical experience and we are not bound
to the body and our identity and what they represents. If we wish,
we can look at this as owning an old car. If we believe our identity
is tied to the old car and we are criticized, belittled or somehow
made to feel inferior because everyone else has a new car we may
have an inferiority problem about who and what we are. What others
think about our vehicle and what we think about our vehicle will
have a great bearing on the decisions we make in life. If however,
we get no identity from the car we drive as long as it gets us to
where we are going, it doesn’t matter to us what it looks like or
what others think. We will have much greater freedom in life if our
identity is not tied to the vehicle that we use.
The essential step in creating the space internally is working with
our internal influences is to get to the essence of our being and
remove all that is not of us and true to that essence. We have to
flush out and wash clean all that is not of us. This can be quite
difficult at times for many of us don’t know who we really are. We
don’t know what we feel and what we really think about things. We
have too long followed the expectations of others to know ourselves.
Creating the internal space is to look at both the conscious and
subconscious beliefs about what we desire to create and why. It is
to explore how and what we think about what we desire to create and
look at alternative. It is to enter a
state of creative play within ourselves to see what
possibilities exist and not be biased by either the physical or not
physical identity we have created for ourselves.
Part of creating the internal space should have occurred during the
conceptual formation step. That is, when we explore our intention
and why we are setting that particular intention, we should have
explored the options and our own thinking about the intention we
set. If not, we must do that now in the
Creating the Space Step. We must become aware the best we can of
subconscious or conscious intention that we hold which may conflict
with the intention we desire to manifest. If we do not do this
exploration, our creative power will be scattered and we will find
it difficult to create what we desire.
