The need for communicate
(Top)
Consciousness at any level and at
all levels, looks for a way to communicate itself —to make itself
known. The Creation we see before us (i.e., the universe at a
minimum) is only Consciousness itself [the total spectrum of
Consciousness] trying to communicate to us who and what it is. More
importantly, the Universe also represents Consciousness trying to
communicate itself to Itself just who and what it is. We, the
observers of Creation, a part of Consciousness. But we need to see
ourselves as separate from Creation to experience Creation. Yet we
are each defining ourselves and sharing ourselves in the same way
Consciousness is doing. We become trapped in our own creation by
believing we are who we have defined ourselves to be rather than
defining ourselves as the creators that we are. We would have no
need for language.
Language is about communications. Language at its most fundamental
level is the expression and communicating of emotions or ideas
between humans by means of speech and hearing. The sounds which are
spoken or heard are then systematized and characterized by a given
group of people over a period of time. At a less fundamental level,
a language can be any forms of communication. For example, there is
sign language where the hands are used to communicate and there is
body language. As an individual, language is about communicating who
and what we are and what we think and believe and what we feel. If
we have nothing to say or to share, we don’t really have anything to
communicate so we have no need for a way to communicate. The story
of “Moses
and the Dancing Light” is a way to see how consciousness
communicates through its creativity and how any one communication is
inadequate to address all that can be said and/or understood.
The question is how does consciousness communicate? How does a
consciousness communicate who and what it is and what it feels? The
answer is that no matter how consciousness chooses to communicate,
it is communicating through its creativity. That is, consciousness
needs to create something to communicate who and what it is. But,
whatever consciousness does choose with which to communicate, in
actually it is only communicating a small portion of what it can
communicate.
From a
creativity perspective, Creation is infinitely vast. There
are an infinite number of aspects to Creation there are an infinite
number of ways to view any one aspect of Creation. Given the
infinite number of choices consciousness has in any one moment.
Whatever consciousness presents is a communication from
consciousness as to what conscious desires to express. In this
regard, creativity is the language which consciousness uses to
express itself and who and what it is. Hence, creativity is the
language consciousness uses to communicate. Whatever consciousness
creates tells us something about that consciousness. It is through
what we create within our
mind and in our external world, the life
we live, that we can being to understand what our consciousness is
revealing about itself and who and what it thinks it is both to us
and to others.
Creativity can be seen as the language of consciousness in three
different but ultimate related ways. The first is to show another
that we exist. The second is that our inner world, the world of
consciousness, is reflected in our outer world, the world of energy.
The third is that the what we are drawn to experience in dreams,
visions, intuitive insights and the like are representative of an
inner communication between our subconscious and unconscious
mind
with our conscious mind. As a language, there symbols and expression
of symbols which need to be learned and understood if accurate
communication is to occur.
The language of creativity
(Top)
There is an old saying, “Listen to
what an individual says, but see what they do.” An individual’s
action is a communication as much as if not more than anything they
say. Additionally, an individual’s action is more in line with what
an individual is really thinking and feeling. Even if someone say,
“I am only acting because I have to act to please so and so,” they
believe, for whatever reason, and maybe justifiably so, that they
have to act the way they do as oppose to any other way of acting.
They may say that they think differently, and they may respond
differently if they were not constrained. Nevertheless, the fact
they respond the way that do means they have other beliefs that are
much stronger, for whatever reasons, than what they say they think
and say. In any case, what an individual does is a communication of
what they think and believe. But it is only part of what they think
and believe. Our actions do got give the total picture of what is
going in our mind and within our being.
What this mean is that for any consciousness all of what they create
paints a picture of who and what they are. Any one thing, any one
creation, will not give the complete picture of the creator. There
are things that consciousness thinks and believes that are not
expressed in any one creative action or endeavor. But, over time,
the composite will give some idea of what the individual really
thinks and believes. However, we must also overlay the environment
in which the creation is unfolding for the
environment and the
creation are integrally linked. Any one environment may or may not
be able to support the true and/or complete expression of who and
what a particular consciousness thinks and believes about what they
are creating. If one is able to observe what a consciousness creates
in many different environments with a cross section of situations,
we can being to get an accurate characterization of any areas of
interest.
Symbols and the
language of creativity (Top)
What is important to understand
about any creative act or endeavor is that it is not, will not, and
cannot be the complete expression of what consciousness desires to
communicate. Whatever is created or communicated is only a symbol or
representation of something larger and only the best way
consciousness has to express what it desires to communicate. Any
communication takes what consciousness is experiencing and puts it
into a defined form which is only a part of the whole. The reason
for this is the
wave particle nature of energy.
What consciousness experiences is a flow of energy. Without a flow
of energy, there is nothing to experience. This flow of energy is
wavelike in its nature. It may have a defined expression but it
still retains its
non-localized aspects which permeate all of
creation. As such, anything consciousness desire to express is only
an experience of energy and the energy it experiences is infinite in
its nature. To characterize that energy by a given form is only a
symbol or representation of something much larger. Here again, the
“Moses and the Dancing Light” story is a good example of this.
Hence, to look at and/or ponder what gives rise to any creative
expression of consciousness provides some very deep insights about
what that consciousness thinks and believes and how they are
interpreting the experience of Creation.
This is the whole basis of
metatheater for surfacing subconscious
and unconscious beliefs. We respond to the truth of what is in any
experience of, or in Creation, based on what we think and believe.
We believe we experience Creation when in reality we are only
experiences what we think and believe about Creation and the energy
we experience. Hence, the statement,
mind is an illusion for how it
perceives reality is not real but filtered and biased by what it
believes. If we create a theatrics, an illusionary experience of
creation that does not reflect the truth of what is and we don’t
know it is a staged theatrics, we will response to what is created
based on what we think and believe. In that response, we can see the
truth of mind. By varying the theatrics, we can surface whatever
aspect we wish to explore.
Probably the most interesting thing encountered on
the journey into
creativity is the
metaphoric aspects of the events in our life. If
the events on the journey were taken a face value the
creative process, the power of
clarity of intention, the roles of the
masculine and
feminine, and the dance between the
inner world and
outer world and
how they reflect each other would never have been seen for what they are.
The author had to become a
detached witness. He had to continually
look at what lied behind the events he or others experienced and at
the process which was unfolding. He had to continually
step out of
mind and past the illusion his
mind was creating relative to what he
was experiencing.
All the information the author had found about energy, Creation, the
illusion of
mind and the like, whether the observations were made in
the scientific world or the spiritual and mystical world, didn’t
really bring this point home about the symbolic nature of any
creation. It was not until
he started to study psychics to see if he could understand what they
were seeing and experiencing did he learn to ask the question, “Now,
given the psychic’s experience, what are they perceiving that would
cause them to make such interpretations or statements?” As he
learned to explore this question, he began to see the filters and
illusion of mind. He also began to see why people, including
himself, did not use nor understand their own
intuitive guidance and why is was so often dismissed. As he
began to focus on the energy rather than the characterization of the
energy, he began to see beyond the shallow layers of Creation we
experience into the
deeper undercurrents which gives rise to
Creation.
The most important understanding that was gained and can be offered
anyone attempting to access and release their unlimited creativity
is to take the perspective of the
detached witness and look to
everything they experiences as only symbolic an a metaphor as
something deeper the consciousness which created the experience is
desiring to communicate. It is to understand that creativity is the
language of consciousness. Whatever we create is a communication to
both ourselves and to others. Whatever we experience as created by
another is a communication to us and a communication of the creator
to itself. The questions is, “What is it that we or they really
trying to communicate and to whom - do they want our attention or
their own attention?”
An inherent desire to share
(Top)
There is no need for a language
unless there is something to communicate. Consciousness has an
inherent desire to share. Consciousness at any level and at all
levels, if aware and awake consciously looks for a way to
communicate itself to make itself known. If it not awake, it simply
responds to what it feels and look for a
warm fuzzy place to reside
where it can be content and comfortable. As presented in “The
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective,” it was a deep and
profound loneliness and a desire to share which fueled and sustains
Creation. That desire to share rather than be in loneliness is
inherent to all aspects of consciousness throughout Creation.
Creation is only the way Consciousness seeks to communicate what it
feels and perceives.
The Creation we see before us, all of it including the seen and
unseen, is only Consciousness trying to communicate to us who and
what it is. The question is, “Is this consciousness which created
Physical Creation as we know it and experience it, the Consciousness
that permeates all of Creation and All That Is or is it just one of
the infinite number of
individuated points of consciousness
expressing itself which created a physical realm in which to
communicate who and what it is?”
Some feel they have the answer to this question. However, for
reasons that are discussed a variety of the Releasing Your Unlimited
Creativity topics such as “The Problem of Mind and the Experience of
the Source of Creation - the Trap of Mind,” we really don’t know for
sure. We may have our ideas and beliefs, and of course our opinion
and our personal experiences, but we really can’t know. As long as
we use the
mind which arises from our
individuated consciousness and
the experiences of our current life we will never know for we are in
the
creative process and a
creation unfolding within a larger
Creation. Of course, we are free to believe anything we wish on this
point. We each will have to do our own experiments to see what is
really true for us.
We, the observers of Creation, are an
individualized consciousness
and part of the Consciousness which gave rise to Creation. This is
discussed in the “Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective.” We
are each defining ourselves and sharing ourselves in the same way
Consciousness is doing in hope of finding a playmate. But, rather
than seeing Creation for what it is, we become trapped in our own
creation by believing we are who we have defined ourselves to be
rather than defining ourselves as a creator that is sharing
ourselves through our creations in Creation.
As humans, we learn a way to communicate with the external world and
with those around us as we grow into life. We copy what we see as
given to us by our early care givers and teachers in life. We get
into a habit of communicating a certain way and then assume our way
of communicating is effective and the only way we can communicate.
Some of us do learn other verbal languages and learn more than one
culture and express a variety of artistic talents. But, in essence,
the way we communicate in any human culture is essentially the same.
As humans we get into a habit of communicating a certain way and
then assume it is, or they are, the only ways we can communicate. We
fail to realize there may be other ways. We fail to realize there
may be other ways to communicate and we can have communication with
others who are not human. Some of these other ways could be as
effective if not more effective than what we currently use.
For example, suppose we have our current awareness and level of
knowledge but we are a tree. How would we communicate to a human if
we were a tree? What would we need to do? What would we need to
create? How would we communicate it? It would seem we would first
have to let the human know we can communicate. We would have to
figure out a way we could get their attention. Then we would have to
create a way to communicate what we desired to create once we had
their attention. Often the way we get someone’s attention is not the
way we can communicate with them. To find a way to get their
attention and to communicate would requires us to enter the unknown
to create something not previously experienced or significantly
different from the past. What would be important is not so much what
we create to communicate. Rather it is that we create and it is our
creativity that is actually doing the communication.
Here is an import realization. What is being communicated is not as
important as what lies behind the communication and what is giving
rise to the communication. Until the proper vehicle for
communication is created, all communications will be in error. What
is actually communicated will be incorrect in some what. However if
we look behind what is being communicated to see what would give
rise to the communication we experience, we can being to see
consciousness at work. We can being to see what is communicated is
only
a metaphor or analogy for something much deeper and that cannot
be given justice unless new tools of communication are created. But
to see the metaphor of what is communicated and see into or behind
the metaphor, we need to step out of our personal wants and desires
and work with the energy as it is. We have to remove our judgements,
opinions and beliefs about what we are seeing. That is, we need to
become very open and discerning to what we feel. We have to be
open
to feelings to see the energy giving rise to the creation. To stay
in our ego and work to manifest whatever we desire and/or what we
think and believe about what we experience we will not be in
communications. We need to work to have to learn to work with what
we feel and become aware of the communication that occurs in simply
feeling what is present.
It needs to be realized that the information we transfer can be
through writing, speaking, sign and body language and, the not so
obvious methods such as by the electromagnetic radiation and energy
we emit and how we emit it. The questions is, “Is what is perceived
noise or a pattern of communication or wishful thinking and a
creation of our creation imagination on our part?” As we become
discerning in what we feel, we can know the difference.
Communication to show another that we exist
(Top)
Creativity is the language we use
to show another who and what we are and what we think and believe.
We need to do something to create a movement which causes some type
of kind of discontinuity from what is currently to be observed by
another. Without any discontinuity and/or movement on our part, how
does another know we exist? To create a discontinuity and/or
movement that does not currently exist is to create. Hence what we
create, our creativity, becomes a communication to another as to who
and what we are.
Consider for example a large body of water like a lake or an ocean.
Everything looks the same until there is some type and kind of
discontinuity. A piece of ice, a piece of wood, a lief on the water
or anything give us someone on which to focus and single out.
Imagine for a moment you are a part of this ocean. If there is not
some way to distinguish you from all the water that surrounds you,
nobody will know you are there. Part of everything we or any other
creates is to say, “Hey, look at me, I am here - see what I can do -
I am identifiable, different, and separate from everything else you
see?”
The inner world
is reflected in the outer (Top)
To know what our consciousness
currently thinks, believes and perceives, whether it be consciously,
subconsciously and unconsciously, we only need to look that world we
experience. To know what another consciousness currently thinks,
believes and perceives, we only need to look at the world their
consciousness creates or they are experiencing. Using the
equivalence of energy and consciousness, there is a way through the
pair production phenomenon and a corresponding
paper cutout analogy
to understand how our
inner world is reflected in the outer and the
outer is reflected in the inner.
Here again, what is created does not necessarily accurately reflect
what consciousness is trying to communicate. It is only the best
that
mind can express based on its past experiences and current
conditions of the environment. As such we need to learn to interpret
the communication. For example, all healing ultimately comes from
within the individual. Those external can help create the conditions
to heal but it is our own
creative spirit which does the healing.
In the end, any healing which occurs is ultimately done the way our
creative spirit wants to do it and/or experienced. More importantly,
it may not want to heal for one reason or another. The question is,
“What is it that our creative spirit really wants to experience and
express and what is the quickest and gentlest way to create
something which serves what our creative spirit desires to
experience?” This is the is the stuff of miracles.
Mind finds a way
that allows for it to create what it desires to experience based on
what it truly believes.
For example, many have trauma early in life. Some individuals seemed
unaffected by it. Others suffer all their life. Some find healing in
soul retrieval to work where the individual believes in the shaman
at some level of their being and choose to have the
shaman be that
outward representation of what is happening within. Yet for others,
such techniques do not work. They find healing through a
psychologist or psychoanalyst works. Still other find it through a
belief in God or other spiritual teaching. We each are different. We
incarnated to have certain types and kinds of physical experiences
which we call human experiences. The question is, “What type and
kind of experience do we really believe we need to experience for
that is what is going to be reflected externally?”
Communication between the
conscious and nonconscious mind (Top)
The third type of communication of
consciousness is the communication that occurs between the
nonconscious mind (subconscious
and unconscious mind) and the
conscious
mind. In many way the world we experience is already the
composite of our conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind
present itself to the conscious mind. However, we also experience
such things as dreams, visions, intuitive insights, spirit guides
and the like, These are representative of a type of
inner
communication between our nonconscious mind with our conscious mind that can be quite
different than the experiences we have externally.
If we learn the symbolism of this
inner language, we find there is a
wealth of information that can be accessed through our
subconscious and unconscious mind. In many ways it is another form of
intuitive guidance but slightly different. The main different
between intuitive guidance and this inner language is the way the
material is presented.
Intuitive guidance is what we feel and experience presented in
the best way
mind can present normally based on the past experiences
of the
enculturated mind. As discussed in the topics “Intuitive
Guidance” there will be an inaccuracy in what is presented until
we obtain the necessary
minimum set of requisite experience to
understand what is being sensed.
This
inner language is different. It is what gives rise to dreams
and visions, especially nocturnal dreams with carry information for
our life. Here
mind chooses a symbolism and tells a story or
presents an understanding of a situation based on, and within, that
symbolism. The story it tells is accurate if we understand the
symbolism mind is using. An example of this is the nocturnal dream
of the author discussed and presented in the topic “Dream Mediation
Vision on Sexuality.” The dream, is very rich in symbolism and
truth. However, unless we have the key to the symbolism which is
unique to the individual, the dream does not make as much sense as
it can, if it is seen to make any sense.
Each of our
nonconscious minds has a symbolism that it uses to
communicate. It is based on our past experience but is capable of
using both the enculturate and transcendent
mind. If we desire to
access, explore and release our unlimited creativity it is
recommended this
inner language be studied and understood. How to
learn and use this language is simply a matter of becoming aware of
its existence and experimenting with it in our lives. It is a
language unique between our conscious and nonconscious
minds. Others
may guide us and offer their advise but it is something each of must
explore and study in our own way. Learning this inner language opens
the doorway to what is seen by the outer world as
shamanism and/or
mysticism. However, it is only really accessing the depth of our own
inherent creative power and ability to communicate with the unseen
part of ourselves and Creation.
Overall summary (Top)
The language of Consciousness, the
language of that Creator is creativity. Creativity is really the
only tool that Consciousness has to express itself and to define who
and what it is; however, it gets trapped it its own Creation--just
like us--for as you will ultimately come to see, It is us. Rather
that using our creativity to express who and what we are we believe
we are our creation and become trapped in
a cage of our own making.
it is the creation.
