In many
creative endeavors,
especially
reconstitution of our
creative
ability and creative power, the recommendation is made very early to consider restoring
our ability to enter a state of spontaneous and innocent
child like play.
The reason for this, is when we explore
our creative passion,
seek to discover the
truth of our being, explore the depth and
breadth of creativity or any other deep internal exploration, all
the experiences that have
caused one to lose our abiliity to be
spontaneous and to be in innocent child like play will surface for
resolution
The essence of the issue is that the nature state of our being is
that of
creative play like that
found at the Source of Creation. In
essence, we are
consciousness at play within itself. Whenever we
pursue some aspect of our
creative spirit and/or
our creativity that
lies below the surface we will being to faces the issues that causes
us to move out of the
most
creative state of being.
The reason for this is easy to understand. If we did not
lose the
ability to be in the
most
creative state of being, we would not need
to access any
level of creativity for we would have all that is
available to us. But, we would not be able to experience Creation as
we do. We
need to be able to forget
how
we create our experiences
and
become lost in the experience to experience what we create. Yet
we never lose our
unlimited creativity. We just cause it to go into
the
nonconscious mind.
The human being is a
creativity machine. We cannot not create. If we
do not create consciously we will create
nonconsciously. The issue
is the
mind that created the problem we face does not have available
to it the conscious creativity to solve the problem. If it did, we
would not have encountered the problem. To get the
creative solution
we need to solve our problem, we need to
step out of the conscious
mind and into the nonconscious mind to get what we need. Quite
simply, the creativity we seek would not be in the nonconscious mind
if we did not lose the ability to be creative in one way or another.
Now we can choose to face whatever obstacle exist to accessing the
creativity we need to solve a particular problem, or, we can go
about reconstituting our
creative
ability and creative power to have
available what we need when we need it. It is much like the old
proverb, “Give an individual a fish, they eat for a day - teach them
how to fish, they eat for a life time.” If we access the creativity
we need to solve a particular problem is like getting a fish. Every
time we have a problem we need to go the figure out how to solve it.
Or, we can learn how to fish. That is, we
reconstitute our
creative
ability and creative power and our lives become suddenly different.
We no longer face problems where we lack
creative solutions. It is
only a question if we want to do the world that we know needs to be
done for we know how to do what needs to be done because we already
have the creative answer we need. We do not have to look for it. It
is as thought we always have the answer at to what needs to be done.
We no longer put ourselves in a box or
cage of our own making.
Those past experiences of how and where we
lost our ability to
creatively play and be in a state of spontaneous and innocent
child like play are the obstacles that must first be addressed before
one can consolidate their
creative
ability and creative power. Additionally there is a very good
chance that experiences from one or more previous existences still
reside in our
transcendental mind
and memory will also surface for resolution. It can be quite
surprising and startling to us for the past memories to surface for
we will have no understanding from this current life as to where
these past memories come from. In this regard, attempting to step
into spontaneous innocent childlike play will most probably be a
journey we have to take. But it is one worth taking.
If we do explore our ability to be in spontaneous
child like play
first, we simply set the intention to do so and follow that same
process as any other
creative endeavor. If we set the intention to
restore our ability for spontaneous innocent child like play, our
intuitive guidance will limit what surfaces to our ability to play.
This staging of our intentions is only
part of the spiral journey
that we can take to
reconstitute our
creative
ability and creative power.
In needs to be clearly understood, we can use our
intuitive guidance
to access any information that we desire and it will limit the
information it provides to what we desire. However, our intuitive
guidance will not provide us any information unless we ask and we
ask by
setting a clear intention. The information our intuition surfaces when we do not ask it
anything in particular is only in response to the
nonconscious
intentions and direction we have set for our life. Without
awareness, most of our response to life is survival, protection and
keeping safe. Hence most individuals experience their intuitive
guidance protecting them and keeping them safe.
As for what surfaces in response to our intention that do not come
from this life, whether we believe these memories are previous human
lives, memories that lie within the genetic composition of our body,
simply energetic aspects of the human
collective that we have tapped
into or simply the energy of reality itself expressing itself in us,
doesn’t matter. Relative to us being able to live in a state of
spontaneous innocent
child like play, they are real as any memory we
have in this life. They must be appropriately addressed if we are
going to have the
freedom to be in a state of innocent child like play.
What we will find is that each and every experience of the past that
is
binding our creative life
energy energy does not surface. Rather the
experiences will rise either collectively as a composite “best fit”
or “best representative experience” or as selected real experiences
that are most representative of what needs to be addressed in the
moment. Additionally the
most energetic items surfaces first and
then the other obstructions surface sequentially according to the
energy that they hold. However, the subsequent memories actually
seem more powerful and seem to bind more energy because they lie
deeper in our psyche and are controlling the flow of our
creative life energy at deeper levels that the most energetic. The most
energetic memories are away on the surface trying to express
themselves and free the bound energy. That is ,in fact, why they are
on the surface. It is only our denial of what we feel and sense in
any given situation that keeps them bound. As we
give ourselves
permission to play and let go, they come screaming to the surface
for resolution.
The less energetic memories in many cases do not arise until we
experience some environment that allows them to surface. This is why
certain location and/ certain types and kind of experiences are more
powerful as surfacing the experience. We may find we go our whole
life thinking we have done well at learning how to enter a state of
spontaneous innocent
child like play and then all of a sudden in a
particular situation we have an experienced that surfaces a huge
amount of blocked energy. This is why doing a
ritual or other simulation of what our life my look like is can
be so powerful. They help to create an environment to allow these
deeper energies to surface in the playfulness of the ritual rather
than unexpectedly surfacing in a real situation. To surface these
deeper and less energetic memories that are
binding our creative life
energy, we
either need a real experience in the proper environment or a
simulated experience in an equivalent environment.
Relative to the ability to surface energy binding memories, reality
and a virtual reality are one and the same as far as the memory is
concerned. The only issue is that when the memory surfaces do we
address what needs to be addressed and release the energy. Or, do we
continue to deny what needs to be done and push the energy back down
below the surface.
What needs to be understood is that energy follows the
path of least resistance. Our
creative life energy that flows out from the inner
most realms of our being to be expressed in the world must flow past
or around all these energy binding memories. As such, it is not able
to flow freely to response to the situation at hand but rather must
flow as channeled by these memories greatly reducing our ability to
response and greatly reducing the options available to us. As we
address these experience and act according to our
intuitive guidance, we will feel ourselves reconstituting and consolidating our
energy. We will feel stronger and we will feel more energetic. We
will see and experience much a greater latitude in our life and many
more options open to us than we could have previously imagined.
If we are going too fast for our
mind to assimilate and digest all
that is happening to us in this process we may feel overwhelmed,
suffocated or drowning by the amount of energy that is bursting
forth within our being. Again, we only need to follow our
intuitive guidance and it will lead us safely. If we jump in with our mind,
our mind will response from a perspective and
habits of what worked
in the past and that is exactly what we are trying to destroy. If
our mind steps in, we have an very good chance at manifesting a
wounding, an
accident, illness, a disease or some other life
disrupting event that forces us to shift the direction of our life
at least temporarily. How big the wound, accident, illness, disease
and the like depends on how great the mismatch between where our
energy is trying to flow and where our mind wants or tries to
control an direct its flow.
If however we flow with the energy and can stay
out of mind, from
the
mind's perspective we will be riding a roll-a-coaster, going up
and down, in and out and all over the place and probably will have
equivalent experiences of the
Dark Night of the Soul. From the
heart's perspective we will be in a joyful and blissful flow that
remains with us no matter what happens in your external world. What
needs to be understood about the memories, feelings and sensations
that arise in relationship to the energy that is bound is that the
energy is not released unless we act on what arises. We are not in
control of the process that causes the energy to surface because the
energy is flowing in the
path of least resistance. When it surfaces,
we can be in control as to how we choose to act on that energy but
not how and what it surfaces. However, we must have sufficient
mindfulness and awareness to be able to choose to act on the energy
to
dissipate the energy before the
habits of the past attempt to
gain control.
Our first response, or rather our automatic response, will almost
always be out of
habit and will be to somehow suppress the energy
and/or otherwise deny the energy for that is what we have done in
the past and why the energy is still present within our being. For
example, many times we get body sensations but rather than asking
the sensation what information it is trying to express about what we
are experiencing, we deny the sensation. The best way to
dissipate the energy is to allow the energy to lead and to ask our
intuitive guidance as to what we need to do dissipate the energy. Simply ask
something like, “What does the dissipation of this energy look
like?”, “What do I need to do to dissipate this energy?” or “What
does the next thing that needs to happen look like/” Then act on
what we get as literally as possible trusting it is what needs to
happen. Since we know that we will be trying to reestablish our
ability to be in spontaneous
child like play and we know past
memories and experiences that are obstructing this play are going to
arise and that we need to address what arises, this awareness and
the intention behind our actions can themselves lead us to the
correct space and correct individuals for what we will need to do.
