Consciousness defines itself by
the experience it has. When consciousness separated itself into
individualized points of consciousness as discussed in the
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective, in that moment,
each point was the same and had the exact same potential for each
was unaware and un-awake. Since each possessed a
free will, and each was unaware and un-awake, each was identical
and equal in that moment. Each possessed the capabilities to be
totally unique unto themselves and find its true identity through
that uniqueness. Or, each could make itself a copy of some other
consciousness that it experienced and define itself as it tried to
copy the world in which it found itself.
What most of us do in life is try and define ourselves by copying
the world in which we find ourselves. Then we are puzzled when we
seem unfulfilled and that something is missing. We living in
accordance with what we are taught and learn in life. Few of us look
to our own uniqueness and the energy that flows within our being to
define who and what we are.
This deep inner longing is our consciousness longing for itself. It
longs for the free expression of its own creativity. It is addressed
by creating
something of intrinsic value to us and creating
a life worth living that fits our uniqueness. It is something
that gives a fulness of being and makes one fulfilled in life and is
often accompanied by a feeling of expansiveness as we expand into
the fulness of our own being - a
infinitely creative being.
What is not realized by many is that without meeting the needs of
our creative spirit and unless this creative spirit is free to
unfold true to its nature, joy and satisfaction in life will be
elusive. It does not matter what success criteria we use and strive
to achieve, or how successful we are in the eyes of the world or in
the eye of the mind. Joy and
inner satisfaction depends on the free unfoldment of our
creative spirit.
If the needs of our inner creative spirit are not met, when we do
not live true to the energy that flows within our being, there will
always feel a deep inner longing that can be outright
painful. It is a physical
pain and/or a deep nonphysical pain that one may be lead to
somehow suppress. Yet, suppression of this pain, without addressing
the origins and source of the pain, can lead to addictions and/or
addictive behavior. To numb the pain and/or suppress the pain that
we feel, many develop addictive behavior of some type to avoid the
pain. Most are aware of addictive substances, food, sexual and the
like that they can use to avoid this inner pain. However, thinking
itself can be an addition if it is use to escape what we feel.
For some, this
pain is perceived as being external to themselves. They look for
the
beloved/Beloved. If one focuses outside physical satisfaction
and into the unseen realm for this feeling, the longing is perceived
as for the Beloved, God, the Source of Life itself. If one focuses
in a more earthly direction and into the physical realm, the longing
is for the beloved or that perfect soul mate. The desire to satisfy
this feeling can be so strong that we will compromise our truth so
as to not be denied this feeling. Yet it is only the heart longing
for itself. It is the desire of our consciousness to freely express
itself true to itself as it currently perceives itself.
Ultimately what lies at the depth of this longing is the desire of
consciousness for a playmate with whom to share
creation/Creation and freely express itself. It is the
ultimate pain we face and is the
source/Source of Creation for this pain is the fuel for
Creation. When we know this pain at its deepest levels and can be
with it, we are one with the source/Source and the energy which gave
rise to Creation as it currently exists.
