There are two ways to live one’s
life. One is to live from the
mind and what the mind thinks and judges as to what needs to be
done based on what it has experienced in the past. The other is to
live from the heart, or rather what is
symbolized in
the heart, and what we feels needs to be done.
Living from the
mind by its very nature forces us to live from the past. Mind
projects the past experiences we have had into the future and
causing us to create a future based on the past. The mind cannot
live in the unknown for its essences is of the past and what we have
experienced in the past. When mind is involved, even the most
creative ideas that we have are only a synthesis of the past and a
combination of the past in a original or new way.
What is
symbolized in the heart however, is completely different. It is
representative of the flow of the
creative life energy as it is as it flows from the
source/Source
of our being. As such it integrates all that is present, both seen
and unseen, into one integrated whole that we feel as the feeling or
an internal knowing that we have. The heart is able to tell us and
lead us into exploration of the unknown for it is aware of, and
senses, the energy before us before
mind is capable of framing that energy based on a past
experiences. Additionally if mind is incapable of explaining or
understanding an energy it experiences because it is so different
from the past the heart is still capable of give us guidance as to
how to response to that energy . The reason for this is the heart
does not try and quantify the energy into a thought as does mind. It
only tells us how to flow with what is. It allows us to feel our
way.
It is possible for the
mind
to mask both the feelings of the heart or to direct the energy
within our being that causes the heart to essentially be overloaded,
dominated or smothered by
what the mind wants.
Mind is a switching station for our
creative life energy When we are in our feeling and focused on
what is
symbolized in the heart we allow our heart to lead. In doing so,
we will be out of thinking and judging
mind. However, the question is, “Although we are out of mind at
the instant we are feeling, is what we responding to a flow of
energy caused by the mind directing our creative life because of our
past choices or is what we feel responding to the flow of energy as
directed by our
creative spirit?” If we focus our attention and awareness on the
heart and become aware of what we feel, we will always know where
our creative life energy is flowing at this instant. It says nothing
about what has directed that energy into the flow pattern we are
experiencing. To understand the flow, we must go up stream to see
what causes or is directing the flow.
If we wishes to live in alignment with the flow of our
creative life energy without the interference of
mind, we will be living the purpose or the
reason for our incarnation. To do so, we will need to be
out of mind
and all the interference mind has caused with the flow the creative
life energy as it flows from the
source/Source
of our being. To be in the flow as directed by our
creative spirit, we will need to transcend the limits and
barriers that the mind has constructed to channel the energy of
Creation.
The flow path of our
creative life energy is from the unmanifested realms of
Creation, the Source of Creation. It can be seen to flows from that
still point, that place of “no-thing-ness”
out of which many see as where all creation forms. Its flow gives
rise to our
creative spirit and flows through the
mind into the
emotions, or rather the flow is felt as emotions, and into
manifestation as the physical. Actually it should be said the energy
flows from the creative spirit through the switching station of the
mind. The flow is felt as feelings and interpreted by mind as
emotions as it manifested in the physical. Both ways of viewing this
flow path, as feeling giving rise to emotions, or as our emotions is
acceptable and each is useful in its own way. In understanding this
flow path, it is easy to see we can be following the heart, but
still be under the lead of mind. If we
step out of mind
and fully align with our creative spirit our manifested form will be
in its purest state. However we have to deal with aspects of both
the
enculturated ego and
transcendent ego with the majority of our effort being on the
enculturated ego. The focus is especially on the programming we
developed early in life before we have the memory of a conscious
experience of how we were programmed.
Our body and its environment of birth, both in time and place is the
product of our
transcendent ego and that state of our being at the time of
incarnation. These conditions existed before we formed any
enculturated ego and developed an idea about who we think we are
in this life based on our current life experiences. When we return
to that state of being, we access the
most
powerful creative state we can enter in our life and it is to
live the
intention for our incarnation. Once we are aligned with that
intention, we then have the choice of living that intention,
changing that intention or going further back into our programming
and transcend that intention if we begin to shed the transcendent
ego which created the
intention for our life. It is at this point of being we access
our
unlimited creativity
for we stand at the point to create any reality we wish while in our
body.
What need to be understood is that
each lifetime offers us the potential to step into our
unlimited creativity.
To come into the physical Creation to have a
physical experience requires us
to forget who we think we are and who we may have been and all
the experiences that go with those beliefs. If we are allowed to
just be, following what is
symbolized in
our heart, developing an awareness of life and Creation from the
heart space, and awaken from this heart space, we would consciously
become the beings of
unlimited creativity that we are. However, life itself causes us
to focus outward and define ourselves from the experience we have.
In a very short time we start pulling together an understanding of
who we think we are by the experiences we have had and all our
experiences, even those we have before this current life, begin to
create our reality. Hence we become trapped in the past and the
proverbial
wheel of karma begins to dominate our life. In understanding
this process we can transcend the process at any point and being to
creative the reality of our choice. We only need to choose to do so.
It also needs to be noted that at the moment of birth there is the
possibility to access our
unlimited creativity
even though
our body was created by the
transcendental ego.Yet when we consciously shed our
enculturated ego to get back to the moment of birth, we face the
transcendental ego. Why is that? The reason for this is when we
remember we realize we can remember all. If we forget all, we have
the possibility to just be. If we remember and go into our
subconscious programming of this life we raise parts of all the
subconscious programming because it is all interwoven. This includes
the
transcendent ego and who it thinks it is. Some of the habits and
preference we have in life are not really habits and preferences we
develop in this life. Rather we experiences situations that remind
us of what we would call “past lives” or “past experiences.” Because
the current situation is similar to what we previously experienced,
we begin to respond in life from those remembered habits and
patterns we developed in response to these types and kinds of
experiences.
We are not compartmented and separated as how our lives would lead
us to believe. Hence we have to deal with those aspects of the
transcendental ego that have surfaced. As we deal with those
aspects, they are interwoven with other deeper aspects and we
continually go deeper and deeper into it. As we continually
spiral deeper and deeper into our own being as if we were
peeling the layers of an onion, we transcend what it means to be
human and ascend to the highest realms of our being and of Creation.
