Within each of us, there is what
can best be described as a passion for life and for living and it is
traditionally associated with the heart. It can be called our
creative
passion for it is a
passion for our life, a passion for
life, a passion for living and for what we desire to create with our
life. Our creative passion is lead by our
body wisdom, our
intuitive guidance and the flow of energy that sustains us. It is the play of
our
creative spirit. It is not something accessible through our
mind
but by and through what we feel.
In talking about our creative passion, it needs to be understood our
creative spirit, our creative passion and are creative play are all
integrally linked. In essence each is a different facet of the same
crystal. Exactly what that means for each of us is different for we
each are a unique creation.
When we are aligned with this passion, nothing will stop us and no
matter what is happening external to our being. In alignment, we
will always have an internal sense of well being,
inner satisfaction, a
fulness of being and bliss that never runs dry. We
can descend into the depths of what some people would call hell. We
will never feel lost or not at home if we are allowing this passion
to be the guide for our life. It will take us only where we need to
go and to what we need to experience. Whatever is happening we will
know it is okay for it is what needs to be.
This passion is our access to the
source/Source of life/Life itself.
It and is the physical manifestation of our connection with the
eternal. When we are aligned with it, we are in the flow of our
creative life energy that sustains us allowing it to lead our
actions. The feeling of this creative passion within our being can
act as an
internal compass that will allow us to both live a very
fulfilling and satisfying life,
a life worth living, and
simultaneously fulfill the
intention that brought us into incarnation.
When we are very young, we are drawn to this feeling within the
heart without thinking. It is what lies at the essence of the
innocence of
child like play. Christ is reported to have said that
we cannot enter the Kingdom of God unless we become like little
children. There is no doubt that this feeling as our
internal compass was that to which He referred. When we are in this feeling
we are in the innocence of a child and we literally and figurative
become
the fool as traditionally represented in walking off a cliff
because we are so enamored in the
wonderment and “ah” of life. This
is the
state of being that we each much return if we are going to
access and release our
unlimited creativity. But as discussed in the
topic “Loss of Creative Play,” we learn and become conditioned very
early in life not to follow what is in our hearts but to please our
care givers and authorities. We each, in our own way, need to
rediscover that innocence of childhood and the innocence of child
like play.
Although we many have lost this creative passion as a child long
before we become consciously aware of ourselves and as a result have
no conscious awareness of how we lost it, it is nevertheless
recoverable. In looking at our life as we would in a
life map and
the
story we tell, we will slowly become aware of what gives passion
in our life and gives us a sense of fulfillment, enjoyment and an
internal satisfaction that never runs dry or evaporates.
There needs to be a realization within each of us that as we move
towards our passion of life, that passion that makes
life worth living and that passion never dies but becomes stronger. If we
pursue what is perceived as our passion and we fail to find
fulfillment or there is a hollowness in what we are doing or have
obtained, then most probably we have been running on a mental
programming that we developed as a child in response to a care giver
or authority as opposed to the passion for our life. What we may
find is that we will need to have several seemingly “false” starts.
as we “burn” off our mental programming of our current life as to
how we think we should live. In doing so we move towards the
reason
for our incarnation and what give us true passion for life and for
living.
By making all your choices in life in the direction of what gives an
inner satisfaction as much as possible, slowly over time we will
find ourselves doing more and more what gives us passion. Eventually
we will come to a point that we will be running on an
internal compass of bliss that never runs dry no matter what is happening in
the external world. It may take us some time to get there, but all
we needs to do is constantly look to make each decision in life as
close a possible in the direction of what give us a deep feeling of
satisfaction inside our being.
Each of us will ultimately have to decide as to how we are going to
live life. We will have to establish if we are going to live
playfully, whether in
play of what is symbolized in the heart or the
play of the
mind, or if life is something for which we need to
”make” a living. If we choose to move toward living the play of what
is symbolized in the heart, we will almost certainly be faced with
playing spontaneously . That will cause the
pain of the past to
surface. Here again we have a choice. “Do we live with the pain and
process it to
dissipate the energy the memory holds or do we
continue to live life numbing and avoiding the pain we feel risking
an
addiction?”
