Within the
creativity perspective,
our creativity
and our ability to be creative within the
creative process is protected or what we could call, held
“sacred.” In saying our creativity and our
creative
ability and creative power to create within the creative process
is protected, what this means is that we protect our ability to
enter the
most creative playful state of being when the need arises. The
most
creative state of being is to enter the spontaneous and innocent
childlike play
of discovery and exploration of one’s self and one’s world without
the judgements and intervention of
mind. In addition to doing what needs to be done to regain this
ability, we protect what we regained so we don’t lose that ability
again.
One question that will arise if it hasn’t already is, “What does it
look like and/or feel like to hold
our creativity
sacred - what exactly does it mean?” To answer this question is two
fold. To answer it, it needs to be remembered there are
two ways to experience and view Creation. One is through the
mind and what we think and believe. The other is through what we
feel and
symbolized by the heart. Hence, one part of the answer is what
does it look like to mind to hold our creativity sacred. The other
part is to look at what we feel when we hold our creative sacred and
how that feeling is perceived by mind.
The easiest way to explain holding
our creativity
sacred is to understand the
most
creative state of being is a state of being best represented by
the spontaneous and innocent
childlike play
of a child in the exploration and discovery of itself and its world
at each and every level of its being. Its motives are pure for it
has no motive other than to explore and discover its world however
it can wherever it lives. We are born in this state of being. We all
have been there and we all know what it feels like to experience
this type and kind of
play. We will remember the feeling of this type and kind of play
when we come close to reentering this state.
The ability to enter and be in
this state of play is inherent within our being at any age of
life. The problem we face in holding
our creativity
sacred is that for one reason or another we shutdown or turned off
the ability to be in this state of play. Because of the uniqueness
of our being, we will each experience this state in some way
differently than another . Similarly, we each have
shutdown our ability to experience this state of being in a
different way. The way we shut it down is a way unique to the
experiences we have had. Yet, there are common elements. Those
common elements are the basis of the
creativity perspective.
Experienced as an adult,
this state of being is best described as an experience of
wonderment and “ah” at oneself and the universe. That is, we are
so overwhelmed in we experience that all we can utter is “ah” at the
wonderment of what is. Some describe it as a state of internal bliss
and joy that never runs dry no matter what is happening in the
external world. Some refer to it as “being in the flow” which is
very appropriate since we are
surrendering to the
flow of the
creative life energy manifesting the experience. Others
experience it as a
fullness of being and /or a fullness and
passion for life and being alive. No matter how we describes
this experiences, we lose, or rather shutdown, this ability when
mind steps in with it judgments and uses the experiences it has
had to think it knows better as to what our
play should look, and/or feel, like.
Since
mind loves to control, it destroys the spontaneity by its
thinking. Since mind lives in the world of duality and judgments,
its presence destroys the innocence in how and what is experienced.
We need to be “out of mind”
to regain an innocence about life and the spontaneity in life. We
have to become spontaneous and innocent as a child. This state of
spontaneous and innocent
childlike play
of discovery and exploration of ourselves and our world is the most
mystical state of existence you can enter. It is the doorway to
the
unseen realms of Creation and can lead one to a conscious
experience and realization that
creation/Creation
in whatever form it is experienced is simply
consciousness at play with itself.
So, to hold
our creativity
sacred means to retain and preserve the ability to freely and
readily enter this state of spontaneous and innocent
childlike play
at will. It means we are free to
step out of mind
and outside of what we think and believe. It means we can allow
ourselves to feel to see if we are moving into a
fullness within our being and/or feeling full of life. It does
not necessarily mean we always live in this state. Rather, it is to
be fully and consciously aware of when , why, how and where we do
not allow ourselves to enter this state of being to explore the
experience we are having and/or to access the level of creativity we
need for our
creative endeavor.
Of course to enter
this state of being and or become aware of how, when, why and
where we are not in this state of being, we will have to work to
regain this ability. This means doing the work to free ourselves
from your past hurts and
pains that gave rise to response patters of life where we
learned to suppress this ability.
