It has been said time and space do
not exist outside the creative/creation process and that there is an
instantaneous communication with the process and all of Creation.
This is a concept hard for mind to comprehend because mind as we
know it and experience it is part of the process and formed within
the process. What needs to be understood is that the experience of
time and space only exists when you are in the process and compare
one part of the process with another. If you stand outside the
process you see the whole process occurring simultaneously because
all is interconnected. If you look at the rain cycle in the
rain-river analogy there is one overall process that can be
divided into several parts - evaporation, condensation, flow in the
river, return to the source. The overall process is instantaneous,
ongoing and never ending. As soon as a consciousness awakens, there
is a flow into and out of a creation. We need to remember for
consciousness to awaken within energy consciousness means to be in
the flow so an awaken consciousness will viewing from within the
flow and it can view the process in one of three primary ways.
Using the
rain-river analogy, one way to view the cycle is to view the
entire cycle from within the cycle. This means we have the
perspective of a water molecule. Its essence never changes but only
how it interacts with its environment. To see the entire cycle form
within one would have to live in what is called the “now” with no
comparison to the past or the future. It is to only observe what is
as we go around the entire cycle. We only need to become aware and
remember when we begin to repeat the process. It is to be just
present to what is as it is without any judgments in any way. Here
we just experience what is as it arises. In the awareness of now,
there is no death. There is just events that eventually repeat
themselves to one degree or another.
The second is to view the process from the perspective of the water
vapor which is to see the process from the birth of the vapor,
starting at the point of the water vapor rising from the ocean, to
the death of the vapor where it falling to the ground as rain. In
this case the time between death and birth, where the water flows
back to the sea lies in the unseen realm of Creation.
The third is to view the cycle from the perspective of the water
finding its way back to the ocean. It is to being at birth were the
rain falls to the ground and flows back to the sea where the river
“dies.” Here again, the time between death and birth, the
evaporation of the water into a cloud to form rain lies in the
unseen realm of Creation.
If one views the cycle from either the perspective of the rain
falling and flowing back to the sea or the water vapor rising to
form rain one will experience the equivalent of physical Creation.
In one case, the river will give a form (the river) to the flow path
and there will be different types and kinds of experiences as the
river traverses the landscape flowing back to the sea. When the flow
dissipates into the sea, the form of the river no longer exists and
there the death of the river. The vehicle that was uses to return to
the sea, the river, no longer exists. When viewed from this
perspective the unseen aspects of the process in the atmosphere are
unknown and mysterious to the river. The river in flow cannot
comprehend itself without the form of the river.
So too the rain cloud. The experience of the water vapor in the
atmosphere rising from the ocean and falling to the ground in rain
will experience a similar process but without the rigid form of the
river. The cloud has a form and there will be different types and
kinds of experiences as the cloud moves over the land to eventually
fall as rain. The water vapor in the atmosphere in the ever changing
amorphous state of the clouds could not conceive of a fixed flow
path like the river. Yet the water vapor experiences a birth and
death much like the river.
In the end, in both these examples, the essence of both the water
vapor and the water in the river never changes only its expression
changes because of the environment in which it finds itself is
different. The point here is that the essence within the process
never changes. It only appears to change. If experienced from within
the process as water molecule, water vapor or as water, there is a
creation to experience with time and place and we can always pick a
starting point. However, when viewed from the outside the entire
process there is only a never ending continues cycle of flowing into
and out of form. Here the concept of a staring point is meaningless
unless we wish to look at what happens in the process. Then, of
course, we enter the creative cycle and no longer stand outside of
it.
However, in some ways, the creative/creation process in many ways is
more like the
magma of the earth than the
rain-river cycle. Within the
magma analogy the creation process can bbe seen as an internal
process where the heat and fire for the creation does not come from
any external source as the sun in the rain-river cycle. Rather the
fire is internal and inherent within one’s being like the
gravitation attraction of a mass for another mass comes lies
inherent within the mass. In the way the gravitational pull of one
particle of mass is felt by every other particle of mass, our focus
of attention and awareness simultaneously shines across all of
Creation affecting every part of Creation. Your focused attention is
not only causing the flow of energy into a new form from the
formless, it is simultaneous rearranging all the existing form to
shift to accommodate what it desires to create. Here again the
process is simultaneous no matter where your perception thinks we
are in the process. There is an illusion of time only because we are
looking and comparing to a starting point.
