If we synthesize and study the
information that is available about Creation and the
creative process of Creation, creativity, and the human role in
the creative process that we experience every day as a human being,
we will come to find there are two views or perspectives from which
to experience Creation. The two perceptions from which to live life
and view Creation are through what one feels,
symbolized by the heart, and what one thinks and believes as
represented by the
mind. These two views are related to experiencing the creative
process and a flow of energy into and out of form, the energy
perspective, or as consciousness perceiving itself as living a life,
the consciousness perspective.
These two ways to view Creation cause the human to seemingly bridges
two dissimilar worlds. These two world appear totally separate from
each other. But, in reality, they are connected like the flip sides
of a coin. At the center and throughout the coin the essences is the
same but as you move outward to the face of the coin the faces of
the coin are different. Because the how the coin molds itself based
on the impression the environment makes or stamps on to the coin the
two faces of the coin appear different.
In understanding these two views and how they function one will
discover the human being is that can best be described as an
exquisite “creativity
machine.” The human being is described as an exquisite
“creativity machine” because as you will come to see, the human
cannot not create. Most of what we do create is automatic. It is
much the way a robotic machine, once build and programmed, will
continually run until it exhausts it energy source, utilizes all its
available input materials or breaks down in some way.
The fundamental creativity principle of reality used in the
Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity understanding is that
conscious and energy are one and the same. They exists in a
duality and are different perceptions of the material of Creation.
They exist together simultaneously and creation/Creation is a dance
between energy and consciousness. There are several different ways
this dance of energy and consciousness can be seen and/or
experienced. It can be seen as a dance between the
masculine and
feminine creative aspects of creation/Creation. It can be seen
as a dance between what we think and what we feel. It can be seen as
a
dance between what is symbolized in the heart and the mind and
of course, a dance between energy and consciousness.
The fundamental creativity
principle of reality is that
conscious and energy exists in a
duality. In the same way energy lies within the essence of all
matter, consciousness similarly lies within all matter. Reality can
mold itself to the form and/or an experience of that on which
consciousness focuses it awareness and attention. In the same way
energy can exist as a wave or a particle, so does consciousness.
Consciousness can become localized into specific forms as in the
traditional concept of spirit within a physical body and/or the
ego.
Or, it can permeate all of reality as in the traditional concept of
the spirit free and unbounded by a body or as some like to say, a
spirit that has transcended the body and/or the physical plane.
However, the fact a spirit does not have a body does not mean it is
not localized in an ego.
Mind is a property of consciousness and ego
is only a construct of the mind.
The way conscious creates is by how it chooses to focus the
attention and awareness it has and how it choose to localized its
energy and consciousness into a given form. It does so by how and
what it choose to think and believe and then surrendering to the
flow of energy it creates to fulfill the experience of that on which
it focuses
Without a flow of energy to
animate
creation/Creation nothing moves and there is nothing to
experience. In this regard we feel creation/Creation for we
experience the flow of energy that is animate our lives and the
world around us. What is in feeling lies the power to create. If we
feel nothing, there is no flow of energy for which to create. It is
in what we feel that gives us movement and allows us to create. We
access both the
inner and outer creative power/Creative Power through feeling.
We can be awake to what we feel but without the awareness of what we
feel, we cannot and will respond to what we feel. If our awareness
is subconscious, we will respond based on moving toward a “warm
fuzzy feeling” as discussed in the topic “The
Nature of Our Being.” If we are consciously aware, we can choose
how we will respond. Conscious awareness is what allows us to become
the cause of what we experience rather than only responding to what
we feel. In becoming the cause of what we experience, we become the
creator of our experience. Becoming the creator of our experiences
opens the door to becoming the creator of the reality we experience.
What needs to be understood is that in the same way energy lies
within the essence of all matter, consciousness similarly lies
within all matter. In the same way
energy has a wave particle nature and can exist as a wave or a
particle, so does consciousness. Consciousness can become localized
into specific forms as in the traditional concept of spirit with a
transcendent ego and/or a sprit within a physical body and/or
the
enculturate ego. Or, it can permeate all of reality unbounded by
a body or an ego.
An important understanding needs to be reiterated here from the
various discussion on consciousness. Unbounded conscious is not a
spirit without a body as presented in many
schools of thought. A traditional concept of spirit of any form
(spirit guide, angles, devils, disembodied spirit, or whatever is
consciousness localized in a
ego. It may be an ego that transcend physical Creation or any
other reality but it nevertheless still an ego. That is, the
consciousness perceives itself to have an identity separate from the
seen or unseen Creation. Unbounded consciousness does not perceive
it self as separate from anything. If it is aware of itself it is
aware of its existence in everything and is not localized in any one
aspect of Creation. Unbounded consciousness does not perceive itself
separate from anything or anyone.
Some
schools of thought talk about the need to for the spirit to
transcend the body and/or the physical plane. However, the fact a
spirit does not have a body does not mean it is not localized in an
ego. Mind is a property of consciousness and ego is only a construct
of the mind as to what the mind thinks it is. The issue is not
transcendence of body or physics Creation. The issue is to step out
of mind and put our awareness totally in what we feel. In being
totally present to what we feel and outside of any identification of
with what we feel such as “I feel good or I feel bad,” we open the
door to the awareness that permeates all of Creation. That can be
done any where, any time and any place.
The way conscious creates is by how it chooses to focus the
attention and awareness and localize that attention and awareness by
identifying with what mind thinks and believes and the
belief structure it creates. It is the identification with mind
that localized consciousness. Consciousness then
allows itself to forget who and what it is and how and why it
localized itself in the mind it has. It then surrenders to the flow
of energy it creates to fulfill the experience of that on which it
focuses its attention and awareness. That is, it create an
experience of what it hold in mind. In essence it can be said that
reality can, and will, mold itself to the form and/or an experience
of that on which consciousness focuses it awareness and attention.
If the awareness of consciousness stays localized in mind, it will
never experience
creation/Creation for it will have no experience to change what
it thinks and believe. If the awareness surrenders to the flow and
remains in the flow, it will experience a never ending experience of
the same thing. Here again, there is no creation/Creation to
experience for nothing changes. Creation can only be experienced
with a changing flow of energy. It is how mind changes its focus
that changes the flow. Look at it this way. For mind to remain fixed
it what it thinks and believes and there is no change in the flow of
energy it will always think the same thought. Similarly if the flow
of energy remains unchanged, mind only perceives the same experience
and will only think the same thought. Mind and body both are
creative living processes that continually change in response to
what they experience in some way. The key to creation is a dance
between energy and consciousness.
To move in any direction there must be an imbalance. If something is
balanced, in never changes and never moves - it remains the same.
That is what it mean to be balanced. To be balanced means there is
no change. To quote a classical law of physics, “an object at rest
stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted
upon by an unbalanced force.” If you wish, you can invoke some
quantum mechanics here but from a
creativity perspective and where humans are starting relative to
their creative power and ability, they will first have to learn
“classical” creativity before they can move on to “quantum”
creativity. Until we understand we must learn the essence of a dance
between energy and consciousness one will be unable to move into the
more magical effects of creativity that parallel what is best
characterized by the quantum ideas of physics.
To dance between energy and consciousness and become a conscious
creator, we must first learn to walk. As discussed in the topic “Learning
to walk,” to learn to walk we must learn to go into and out of
balance. To learn to go in and out of balance, we will have to learn
to go in and out of mind and will have to learn to go in and out of
what is
symbolized in the heart. To learn to go in and out of what is
symbolized in the heart, we will have to
give our creative spirit permission to come and create a safe
space for it to learn to freely express itself. Once we know what it
means to be mind and what it feel like and we know what it means to
be what is symbolized in the heart and what that feels like we can
learn to move between the two.
In learning to move between our mind and what is symbolized in the
heart, we can learn to walk and begin to consciously create our
experiences. Walking is simply going into and out of balance - into
and out of balance of the mind and into and out of balance of the
heart. When we are balanced in the mind we will be unbalanced in the
heart. When we are balanced in the heart, we will be unbalanced in
the mind. If we stay in mind or in heart, we will fall. We must move
back and forth between the two. It is about desiring with mind and
then surrendering to the flow of energy which that desire creates.
Then, moving back into mind as we determine if what we experience
serves or doesn’t serve who and what we are. In mind we choose
to stay with what is or to create something that serves us better or
worse depending on what we desire. When then surrender to the new
flow of energy we create to experience our creation only to have a
judgement about what we experience and return to mind for the next
cycle.
As we pick up the pace and engage the world, we enter a dance. The
world in which we live sets a tone, a rhythm, a pace to which we
must dance by moving our “two creative feet” of what is symbolized
in the heart and mind. What exact dance we do and who we dance is
our choice. But the music is set unless we access the power to
change it.
The dance between energy and consciousness is to become the
detached witness. It is to see mind and the body as the vehicles
consciousness has created to experience Creation. It sees the flow
of energy it created upon
incarnating as the path that will carry it to the experiences it
incarnated to have. The dance of energy consciousness is to realize
the awareness that is you, is the creator of the experiences you
have and the reality of those experiences. As you
dance between mind and what is symbolized in the heart and to
the rhythm set by the world in which you incarnated, the dance of
energy consciousness is consciousness at play with itself.
