This discussion builds on the two
parallel discussion on energy and consciousness. These two
discussions, “Energy
- the Invariant in the Creativity Perspective” and the “Interdisciplinary
Aspects of Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity” provide the
starting point for understanding our creativity powers as to how we
create the experience we have and the reality of those experiences.
This discussion goes the next step.
Review
of the starting point - definitions of energy and consciousness
(Top)
Energy is traditionally defined as
the ability to do work and/or the capacity to produce an effect.
From an energy consciousness perspective, energy is the ability to
create. It is the ability to melt, dissolve or transform an existing
form and mold it into the new form one desire. It is the capacity to
become the cause to produce a new effect.
Consciousness is traditionally defined as the state of being
conscious. It is that state to be aware of one’s own existence,
feelings and thoughts. It is an aware of oneself and awareness of
one surroundings and the external objects and conditions. To be
conscious is to be aware of one’s own existence, feelings and
thought and external objects and conditions. Something that is
conscious is internally known. To be consciousness is to be mentally
awake as opposed to sleeping
From an energy consciousness perspective, to be conscious is the
same an the traditional definition. Additionally it needs to be
emphasized when one is conscious they are deliberate and
intentional. Consciousness is our ability to produce an effect. It
is to become the cause of a cause effect chain. It is here
consciousness and energy become equivalent. It is here the one
significant difference between the traditional concept of
consciousness and consciousness as used within the creativity
perspective appears. Name, consciousness is seen as a property of
the “stuff” or material of creation.
Everything is seen as having the ability to be in a state of being
conscious or rather everything has the ability to be conscious of
itself and its surrounding. To be conscious is to be seen as being
awake and aware. To be unconscious is to be awake to respond but
unaware. To be dormant or unconscious is to be asleep and unaware.
The main difference between dormant and unconscious is that which is
dormant has been aware and aware but has essential “gone to sleep”
and will not awaken until conditions are correct to awaken it. That
which is dormant has not yet awakened.
Overall summary (Top)
Within he creativity perspective,
energy and consciousness are one and the same thing. Creatively they
are equivalent. Each is the ability to cause an effect and or make
something happen. Consciousness is just a flow of energy that has
become aware of itself. The “magic” and power of Creation lies in a
flow of energy awakening to its own existence and realizing it can
be the cause of the effect it experiences simply by how
consciousness focuses itself.
Energy consciousness is the substance out of which all things form.
It is what forms any separated aspect or entity of Creation
including thoughts. Energy goes where consciousness focuses its
attention and awareness and consciousness directs its attention to
where it perceives energy flowing.
Energy consciousness (Top)
Energy consciousness exists in a
duality similar to the
wave-particle duality we see in physics.
This energy consciousness can be experienced as energy, as
consciousness, or as energy consciousness depending on the
environment and how consciousness chooses to observe in that
environment and on what it chooses focuses its attention and
awareness. Additionally, one can experience both the energy and the
consciousness as localized, that is within a given or defined shape
or form, or non-localized, undifferentiated form, that is having no
shape or form completely diffuse. For both energy and consciousness
the range of localization is from completely fixed with no movement
to absolute freedom of movement in every possible direction with no
preference or bias to or for any direction.
For those that prefer pictures, you can draw a three dimensional
grid with a horizontal axis, a vertical axis and one going into and
out of the page. For those mathematically inclined, you can name
them as an x, y, z set of axis. Allow one axis to be the energy
axis, a second the consciousness axis and the third as energy
consciousness. One end of each axis is labeled complete freedom or
undifferentiated. The other end is labeled totally fixed, without
movement or extreme localization.
On the consciousness axis you can also label totally fixed as “a
totally defined identity” and the opposite extreme “no-identity.” On
the energy axis you can label totally fixed as “frozen -beyond rock”
and the opposite extreme “all-permeating” energy or free and
unbounded. That is, the energy is unbound and free to permeate all
reality from infinity to infinity.
On the energy consciousness axis, you can label the fixed, localized
end as extreme separation and the other as total oneness.
Any point of consciousness is free to lie anywhere withing this
three dimensional grid. There is no preferred way to experience
energy consciousness, energy or consciousness. All ways are equal.
Consciousness is free to experience any what that it chooses to
experience. Only the experience one has will appear differ and some
experiences are judged as more enjoyable than others. It is the
choice of how consciousness chooses to have its experiences that
gives rise to the illusion of Creation. Also, any one point or
perspective will be experienced differently than any other.
To be aware and awake is to be localized oneself in the
consciousness aspects of energy consciousness. To be asleep and
unaware being lead by the energy wherever it flows is to be in the
energy aspect of energy consciousness. To be aware and awake as a
detached witness consciously flowing with the energy realizing how
you chose to observe changes the flow of energy is to experience the
energy consciousness aspect. To be in the ego or any identity as to
who one thinks they are is to localized one’s consciousness in a
fixed form. How fixed depends of the amount of freedom you have to
change your identity. To be outside of all identity is to
non-localized or undifferentiated consciousness.
To localize one’s energy or to experience energy in a localized form
as to be in a physical body or any other particular form of energy
is to move towards the fixed frozen end of the energy spectrum. To
experience the non-localized form of energy is to be without any
particular form. The traditional realm of “spirit” and non physical
reality may or may not be non-localized energy. It is entirely
possible for energy can be localized into a form that is not
physical. In much the same way water vapor in the sky can form into
clouds and then into water droplets. If you look at the water
droplets as physical reality, there are many realms where the energy
can from into a shape analogous to clouds of different density. On
this aspect of “spirit,” to have any identity in the non-physical
realm is to be experience a localized consciousness and opposed to a
completely free and undifferentiated consciousness.
The typical human experience tends to be an experience of energy
consciousness as both a localized energy in a body and a
consciousness localized within the ego. As an energy, it expresses
itself in the animation of the body and it creates from within the
body including the conditions of the body. As a consciousness it
localizes itself by believing it is who it has come to believe it is
based on the experiences it has had in the body. That is, possession
of an ego. Also from the energy consciousness perspective, the
typical human lives in the world of separation for they fail to see
how the body and ego are integrally linked with each other and each
to their environment. That is, they fail to see in a different
environment, they would have difference experiences and create a
different ego.
Although their energy is localized in their body and their
consciousness is localized in the identity of the ego, neither their
energy or consciousness is completely fixed. Although a majority of
the energy is localized and remains fixed in human form, part still
permeates all reality Similarly, one consciousness is totally free
and can reside anywhere on the consciousness spectrum if it so
chooses. To live from the perspective of ego and who one has come to
believe they are, is to live in the consciousness aspects of energy
consciousness as a localized consciousness. To be in a body flowing
with the energy but be out of the thinking and judging mind to
localize one’s consciousness as a detached witness is to experience
the energy consciousness. To detach one’s identity from the detach
witness and understand it is only Consciousness experiencing Its
Creation from within a particular vehicle of experience is to move
toward the extreme end of freedom and non localized consciousness.
Energy aspects of energy consciousness (Top)
For all practical purposes, energy
is energy and the energy of this energy consciousness is energy you
experience every day of your life. The only thing that needs to be
understood is that energy has an unseen aspect that is integrally
linked to consciousness and where every consciousness focuses its
attention and awareness, the energy flows to manifest an experience.
Whether that experience becomes physical or not depends on the
environment and how much energy is directed into that focused
attention.
All the laws of physics applicable to energy apply equally to energy
consciousness in some way or another for they are the same but they
may look differently only because the experience of consciousness is
not perceived the same way as the experience of energy. That is, for
any flow of energy, there are an infinite number of ways for
consciousness to experience that flow. How and what that experience
looks like depends on how consciousness choose to experience it.
The energy that you experience in life exists in three primary
forms: (1) energy in motion or the energy is flowing into a new form
or arrangement; (2) stored energy or energy in a form that readily
capable of moving into flow with minimal effort; and (3) mass or
energy “frozen” or solidified into a fixed arrangement that can only
be changes with either great effort in the existing environment or
within a uniquely constructed environment specifically designed to
transform it.
There is an important aspect about energy that may or may not be
obvious. We often don’t recognize the existence of energy until it
flows. We are not aware of the energy stored in gasoline until it is
ignited or the energy stored is a box on the shelf above our head
until it falls. We were not aware of the energy stored within mass
itself until scientist constructed experiments that released this
energy. This is an extremely import understanding for can be
released in ways and places we may not initially recognize. Under
the correct conditions, more and more energy can be caused to flow
from an energy reserve until all the energy is dissipated. One
question we will routinely need to explore in a creative endeavor
is, “From were does the energy come for us to create what we
desire?”
In general, it can be said that hazards we encounter are only stored
energy reserves that flow in a way that we find damaging. Power, is
energy in motion. If is the energy that flows in a way that can be
controlled and made useful we just what flows as good. If it flows
in a way that is harmful or damaging, we see it as bad. An ice jam
or some other unwanted obstruction that dams the flow of a river is
considered hazardous because of the potential energy which build up
behind the dam and is often released in an uncontrolled or unwanted
fashion. A dam that we construct across a river and harness flow
with a water wheel or turbine is considered a power generate and
used in a way that we choose to use it. In either case, the energy
flows according to the circumstances of the environment. By changing
the environment we can convert energy back and forth into different
kinds of energy for constructive or destructive uses, at least
according to our definitions of constructive and destructive.
Consciousness aspect of energy
consciousness (Top)
As energy consciousness,
consciousness is inherent in all of what is. Consciousness is the
state of being conscious, that is, aware of one’s own existence,
feelings, and thoughts. It is being aware of external objects and
conditions and being mentally awake and to internally know. From
that perspective, you can define consciousness as awareness. You can
say that something is not conscious until it comes to the
realization of one’s own existence or the existence of feelings and
thoughts within their being or aware of external objects and
conditions. The most definite signs that a being is conscious is to
be mentally awake such as thinking, analyzing, judging, and/or being
deliberate and intention in one’s actions. However, that is a
relative narrow understanding of consciousness from the perspective
of energy consciousness for all that exists has the potential to
become aware of itself.
We refer to energy consciousness as the mud or fabric of creation
because all reality, all that exist or could exist is conscious, or
rather has the potential to be conscious, that is aware of its own
existence, feelings, thoughts and external objects. Directly
analogous to the discussion of energy, we are normally only aware of
energy when it flows, we are only aware of consciousness when it is
awake. Consciousness can be asleep, unaware of its thoughts,
feelings, existence and its surroundings. Humans pride themselves on
being conscious but many individuals are not aware of their thought
and even more are unaware of their feelings. So consciousness does
exist on a spectrum of being totally aware and awake to completely
unaware and asleep.
In keeping with the duality of energy consciousness, consciousness
can be localized into a give form or permeate all of reality and is
also seen to exist in three forms. The three forms of consciousness
can best be described as (1) conscious consciousness, (2)
subconscious consciousness and (3) unconscious consciousness/dormant
consciousness. Conscious consciousness consists of those aspects
of which consciousness is aware and is analogous to the energy in
motion and it is the aspect of consciousness that is responsible for
causing the flow of energy into a given form or changing the
direction the flow. This is the consciousness that we are all aware
of where the entity is aware of itself and/or has the faculty of a
separate mind and the associated mental activities.
Subconscious consciousness are those aspects of consciousness of
which conscious consciousness is unaware but can readily surface.
The subconscious readily governs the flow of energy into creation by
continuing to direct energy according to whatever pattern the
consciousness set before it went subconscious. It is that aspect of
infinite consciousness that can readily be made conscious. However,
what we describe as the subconscious or unconscious aspects of our
being are also conscious especially in regard to being deliberate
and intentional in one’s actions. From an energy perspective,
holding a thought subconsciously or unconsciously has just as much
power and ability to direct one’s energy as a consciously held
thought. In fact, holding a though subconscious or unconsciously is
much easier than consciously and is the basis of many deeply held
habits. The root of all habits ultimately lies in a particular way
of viewing and/or being in the world that is so deep and conditioned
in us that we follow that habit with little or no conscious
awareness.
The second form of consciousness is the subconscious. For a lack of
better definition and from an energy consciousness perspective, the
subconscious is the autopilot feature of consciousness. Rather than
having to be aware of everything all the time, we allow much of our
creative efforts to be placed on autopilot such that it runs
automatically with the need of our conscious thinking, analyzing and
judging.
The third type of consciousness is very deeply held patterns that
can best be described as unconscious and/or dormant consciousness.
Dormant consciousness reflects those aspects deep within the
subconscious of consciousness that are extremely difficult to
surface. It is analogous to mass and very difficult to make
consciousness but under the appropriate conditions it is readily
transformed. This third type of consciousness is called dormant
consciousness since it is like a tree that goes dormant in winter.
Although it seems to have no life, as soon as the conditions are
correct, it awakens. While the consciousness is dormant, there is
little it can do until it reawakens. What mass is to energy, dormant
consciousness/unconscious consciousness is to consciousness.
Conditions have to be right before the dormant consciousness move
into the active subconscious or to consciousness. For all practical
matters, you can consider the dormant consciousness as the very deep
subconscious and that is difficult to access and awaken except under
special conditions. In the same way the existence of mass makes
possible the physical plane and the physical experience, dormant
consciousness/unconscious consciousness is what keeps part of our
consciousness in a very deeply held fixed pattern to create the
illusion that we are separate from all that is and that there is no
oneness to reality.
In looking at these three forms of consciousness relative to the
Creation you experience, the dormant consciousness/unconscious
consciousness has a fixed form and that fixed form is what
determines much of the creation experience that we have. We can look
at the dormant consciousness as creating the reality that we
experience, that is physical Creation. The subconscious as creating
the details of the reality we experience that can be changed with
effort. The conscious aspects of consciousness creates the flow and
animate the experiences we have within the details and reality that
we experience. If can look at our dormant consciousness as the mass
and the arrangement of that mass of the physical world we
experience. Our subconscious as the time, place and details of the
particular physical experience that we have and our conscious
consciousness as our ability to manipulate and change the details of
what we experience.
Implications of energy consciousness (Top)
There is not a facet of the
universe that is not the same as you. If you look a little more
deeply all is a part of you for all ultimate originates from the
same Source. You and all that you see and experience before you is
made of the exact same material as you. Whether you experience any
particular aspect of the universe as yourself depends entirely on
how you and it have chosen to experience each other. To communicate
and/or experience any facet of the universe you will have to both
choose and set the intention to do so and then figure out how to
communicate with that facet for each facet is unique.
Our energy goes where one focuses their attention and awareness and
we tend to focus on what the energy that is flowing. To get control
over our creative powers, it becomes essential for each of us to
understand where we are focusing our attention and awareness and
where our energy if flowing in any given moment and where we are
expending our creative life energy. We need to become mindful of our
focus and mindful of where our energy goes.
