Energy, the ability to do work (a
force applied through a distance) or to make things happen is the
cornerstone of modern physics. In talking about energy and the
equivalence of energy and consciousness, our
creative ability and
creative power, and the human being as a
creativity machine, there is an
interesting to observation to be made. When physicists first started
working with energy, power and creating machines to do work, they
compared power, the amount of energy released per unit time, to the
amount of power an horse could provided - hence the concept of
horsepower. From the very earliest time there was a recognition that
living organism had the ability to do work and/or make things
happen.
The harnessing of life energy has been around from the earliest
times of humanity. Although not understood in the way scientist now
understand, there was the concept of energy and power. It has long
been recognized that living things such a humans, horses, oxen and
the like have a life force, a life energy, that can be used to do
work and make things happen. Many ancient civilizations harnessed
the life force/energy of human in the form of slaves for centuries.
In fact,
organizations still harness this energy. Only now their ways are
a little more innovative do much more subtle ways. It is
often done in ways humans do not even know their life energy is
being tapped and used.
In many ways, the concepts of energy and power as used today only
describe in external terms what has been observed to exist in living
organisms since the dawn of human consciousness. What gives us life
and the ability to make things happen is exactly what early
scientist tried to access and quantify. This was nevertheless true
even if it was not recognized by them. The creation and invention of
early machines was driven by developing more efficient methods than
humans or animals could provide and less demanding on the humans
themselves. People look to create “labor saving” devices through
history. They look to replace what is done through our
creative life energy with some other energy source. The point being here, no
matter how you look at it, what we call energy and power external to
us, is exactly what lies within our being and gives us life.
When we look at all humans have accomplished, it is this
creative life energy within us, that has allowed us to do so. Whether we have
used horses, oxen, slaves or some type of machine to do much of the
heavy work, it is this creative life energy within that has allowed
humanity to accomplish what it has done. Although we cannot put this
creative life energy in some type of physical container and give
this life to another, it is very real. But we can store it. We store
it in the memories we hold that cause us to become passion or
dispassionate about someone or something. In the way the atoms in a
battery store electrical energy and the arrangements of objects in a
gravitational field store gravitational energy, the arrangement of
our memories, what we think and believe, store our creative life
energy and can often be used to amplify what we have.
What is interesting about this energy within the human body is it is
what animates the body and gives life to the body. Hence, many have
called this energy a spirit for it is what gives life, the spirit of
life. In regards to this creative energy,
the body can be seen as a
machine that transforms chemical energy into this
creative life energy and then into mechanical energy to make things happen in the
world. Yet, when we look at the body itself, we seen an internal
combustion engine where organic fuels are combined with oxygen in a
water based medium to rearrange the chemical structures of the fuel
to create energy. Some of that energy is then converted to
electrical energy which is used by the brain to direct the released
chemical energy to be transformed into mechanical energy in one form
or another. That, in turn, allows us to live and have an experience
of life. But from a pure physics and chemistry view point, the body
does not create life energy that sustains it. That is, the body
comes from an existing life and grows and unfold according to its
DNA and its environment. In in someway, this creative life energy
within the body seems to be different than other energies.
Yet, no matter how humans have tried, they have not figured out
exactly what give life. So far, humans have been unable to create
life energy except by reproduction and associated embryo
fertilization processes. This life spirit is somehow different from
the material body for all materials do not have it and the human
spirit seems to be different than the spirit that resides in a horse
or oxen. The best humans could do to explain this animating life
energy was to create the concept of a spirit that seemed to inhabit
the body and then leaves.
The issue of not being able to explain exactly what life is, in
turn, caused the need create the realm of spirit and the unseen.
This in turn give rise to spirituality and the possibility of the
existence of something unseen beyond the physical. Eventually the
perceptions of this unseen realm created spiritual traditions and
most spiritual traditions have their own unique view and ideas as to
how this spirit functions and what it needs to do and what is its
purpose. But the energy within the horse or oxen that give it life
can be harness just the same way that human life energy can be
harnessed. The only pieces that is different is how the human spirit
and life energy is aware of itself and can change its environment
based on, or rather, as a result of, its awareness. Yet, in the
realm of the
mystic, these other life forms can be accessed and it
can be understood these life forms are aware in their own way. They
are just not aware in the way humans are aware and can act on their
awareness because of body and what it is capable of being directed
to do.
Based on the study of creativity and the
equivalence of energy and consciousness as the ability to make something happen, the answer to
exactly what is this human spirit and its relationship to the life
energy within the body is that, in essence, we are a flow of
creative life energy which has become aware of its own existence and
has a vehicle (our body) to act on that awareness. As an energy we
will never die only be transformed from one from into another. This
flow of energy can be experiences as an a flow of creative life
energy give us the ability and power to create or as a
creative spirit with a unique personality unto itself with its own desires
existing and unfolding in Creation. In becoming aware of our own
existence, we have also become aware we can become the cause of
something happening rather than only responding to what is. We have
figured out how to become the creator of the experiences we have.
What we haven’t realized is that we have always been the creator of
the experiences we have and in fact, we have been the creator of the
reality we experienced. We have just never figure out how it is
possible that we do it. We have only been asleep rather than aware
and awake to the depth and breadth of our creative power and
creative ability.
One way to look at our
creative life energy is something like
gravity in the realm of celestial objects and the nuclear force in a
atom. In the way gravity hold the planets, stars and the like
together, and the nuclear force hold the nucleus together, our
creative life energy animates and holds the body together. But what
is different is that there comes a time that the creative life
energy leaves the body and no longer animates the body. When this
happens the body dies and slowly dissolves back into its component
parts. The piece that humanity seems to unable to understand is why
this creative life energy leaves the body.
The answer appears to lie in the fact that we are a
creation within
a creation and
we are part of a larger process. Or, alternatively
said, our lives is the by product of a larger process. Unless we
understand the
creative/creation process and the
role of the unseen
in that process, our lives will always be mystery, especially why we
die. In realizing the existence of this larger process,
we can
create the conditions to see
into the unseen. We can access the
intention for our life and come
to some understanding as to why were are here and what the flow of
our
creative life energy is all about.
However, this is something that needs to be experienced. Reading
this words and thinking we know why we are here and what our life is
all about is total foolishness. Until we can
step out of mind
to
become a
detached witness to our life and the lives of others and
being to see how
mind works, our lives and this
creative life energy
which sustains us and animates our life, as our
creative spirit,
will always be somewhat mysterious.
The recommendations is for you to do your own exploration into
understanding your
creative life energy, its flow pattern and what
your
creative spirit desires to create. In is recommended you
hold
your creativity sacred and understand
what truly serves you and
create a life worth living. In doing so, you can come to see the
truth of what is stated here and about how you create both the
experiences you have and the reality of those experiences by how and
what you think and believe.
