With the risk of being redundant,
it needs to be emphasized is that in
creative play there is movement
and freedom of movement. However, movement only arises as a result
of a flow of energy. Without a flow of energy, there is no movement.
Play, any form of play, whether one realizes it or not, is the
surrender
to a flow of energy.
To be able to
surrender
to the flow of energy does not necessarily
mean we are free and self determined in our play and are free to
create whatever we desire. We may feel great freedom, but we are not
necessarily free. To be in our greatest creative power, we have to
be free to choose to move wherever we need to move to create what we
desire. This includes determining the flow of energy we experience
and where the flow is leading us. If we are being lead and pulled
through life by a flow of energy of unknown cause, we will be unable
to create what we desire until we can understand what has given rise
to the energy flow we are experiencing and which is directing our
life.
Analogously, if we are in the middle of a river freely flowing and
moving with the current of the river, we will have an experience of
great freedom. However, we are being carried by the river current
and where it is going. We don’t become free unless (1) you recognize
the river current exists and (2) we understand how to move and can
move whenever we choose in a way other the way the current is
pushing us. Then, and only then, will we have freedom of movement.
The question we need to ask and be able to answer is, “What is
giving rise to the flow of energy I experience and is giving rise to
the experience I have?” Is the flow of energy we experience caused
by something we freely created or it is caused by something that is
leading us and/or we were programmed to create, or is there another
cause of which we are unaware? It is here we need to become aware of
subconscious programmed desires.
We may feel freedom in the flow but is the flow carrying us into
captivity or into greater freedom? To be playfully and freely moving
in the current of a river does not negate the flow of the river -
which may be carrying us to a water fall. In this regard, there are
playful experiences that
serve our being and those that don’t.
Playful experiences that serve our being are flows of energy giving
rise to movement and play that ultimately carries a person to the
experiences that serve the individual.
From a
creativity perspective, where we
hold
our creativity sacred,
to
be served is when our creative ability to express ourselves grows
and expands and we become more and more free to express who and what
you are in the way we need to express yourself. To not be serves is
where, in time, we loses freedom of movement and they lose the
ability to freely express ourselves. In such a case, often one will
perceive themselves shrinking or collapsing into a smaller and
smaller entity or somehow feel they are held hostage or they become
a victim of circumstances.
In regards to this discussion,
true freedom is when we preserves our
freedom of movement including freedom from the
undercurrents, of
which we may not be aware that pull you in one direction or another,
until we consciously chooses to create. When we are free to create
the flow of energy, then we are free to
surrender
a degree of our
freedom to surrender to the movement of the flow of energy that
flows into our desired creation. Although we surrender a part of our
freedom, we surrender to a flow of energy we, ourselves, caused to
arise. In effect, we surrender to ourselves and not any other. That
is, we freely choose to create the flow of energy to which we freely
surrender in playfulness. In doing so, we become the creator of the
flow of energy and we have the experience of the creation we created
by surrendering to the flow of energy giving rise to the creation.
We become both the creator and the creation and become the creator
of the experience you have.
True freedom is when we are free of the
burden we carry and we are
able to
surrender
to a flow of energy we created. This brings up an
extremely important point about creativity. Any creative endeavor
will contain an
element of obligation and fulfilling that obligation
is essential if we desire to manifest in a physical experience what
we desire to create.
In discussing
creative play,
true freedom and the
most
creative state, it needs to be noted that the
play of what is symbolized in
the heart, although creative play, is not true freedom nor the most
creative state of being. It is said that the most creative state is
just past the play of what is symbolized in the heart.
When we enter the play of what is symbolized in the heart, we are
free to create
the experiences we incarnated to create. That is, we
are being lead by the flow of energy which created the body and life
we currently experience. We are free in the sense we created that
flow of energy or agreed to that flow at some level of our being.
But we are not free to create anything we desire until we step out
of that flow. That is where we enter the
most
creative state of
being. In the awareness of the flow which give rise to the reason we
incarnated and can feel it to be able to step out of it, we now have
the freedom to create whatever we desire. However, in most cases, we
find the reason for our incarnation reasonably satisfying so there
is no real need to create anything other than the experiences we
incarnated to have.
