As stated in the topic,
“Obligation and burden in creative play,” the key to removing the
feeling of obligation and the burden is to learn to not seen
holding
focus as an obligation or a burden. It is to see it as an exercise
of our
free will to create the experiences we desire to have. We can
do this if we choose that on which we focus. But to do that, we must
get past both our
subconscious and unconscious programming.
When we step into creative play, we will feel the issue of work and
obligation at some point. The question is whether we can remain
playful in the obligation or we allow the obligation to take us out
of play. In dong so we compromise our
creative power and creative ability. Creation requires obligation and it is a chore to do what
needs to be done to hold a
single point focus until what we desire
is manifested. It is exactly at this point where individuals often
tend to give up their creative power and creative ability for they
do not know how to face the obligation in play.
When the mundane world is pulling us in a variety of different
directions and/or people in our life are complaining about what we
are doing with our life, it is a chore and an obligation to hold a
focus on what we desire to create. It can be very difficult to
manifest a playful
state of being to create what we desire while
trying to respond to the mundane of the world. In this regard, we
can analogously, look at any creative endeavor as giving birth to
what we desire. To birth and raise a child can, and will, require
work and
pain. Some pregnancies are easy and pleasant. Some are
painful and burdensome. Some children can be shear joy to raise,
others are nightmares. What we experience in our creative endeavors
depends on what we desire to create and from where we start and how
tightly we hold onto what must be released.
The question is “Do you or don’t you want to create a new life - a
new creation to experience or do you continually want to recreate
the past.” If we create a new life we will have to birth a new life
and face all that comes with creating, birthing and raising a new
life. That is the problem humanity faces. Our lives will be the same
unless we want to be reborn to create a new life. Along with that
rebirthing process come the analogous birthing and child rearing
that is required for the new life. Sometimes, there a
pain in
birthing. We judge what we desire to create as not playful because
it takes away some of our freedom. Yet, in reality what we seek to
create can give us more freedom than we can imagine if we choose to
create freedom and keep the focus of our attention and awareness on
play.
It needs to be remembered in any creative endeavor, the freedom we
can image is based on what we have experienced to date based on the
world as it is and the world of the past. To create a new world,
where the freedom is greater than what we have experienced in the
past, will cause
mind and what we know to be of limited value. It is
here we need to make a transition in our thinking.
If we do not believe we create by what we think and believe, what is
communicated here makes no sense and will seem totally foolish. If
we believe we don’t create by what we think and believe, we will
live our life based on our past and the past of others and think
this is the way the world must be. However, if we know that we
create by what we think and believe, then everything here is true
and we will have to face the fact that we are
consciousness at play
We have more
creative power and creative ability to create what we
experience than our minds can imagine. But to access it, will have
to open ourselves up to the possibility we can create experiences
beyond what we have experience and what our
mind can conceive. On
this point, we will never discover what we can create until we
choose to explore, discover, and use the creative ability we find
within ourselves.
To deal with the obligations and burdens we feel when we choose to
recreate our life and the world we experience whole or in part, we
have to choose what we feel as an exercise of our own freedom. We
have to choose to play and choose to find playful and creative ways
to deal with whatever we experience. If we take this attitude, we
will find we can obtain solutions that meet what we need to do by in
way that can be experienced as playful. The choice is ours. But we
have to choose to create play.
