of the journey
This topic provides an overall
discussion as to the journey into creativity. The details for the
occasion and origins of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity
understanding and the currently posted applications can be accessed
through the topic “Origins
and About Us” or “Pieces
of the Puzzle.”
Occasion for the journey
(Top)
The occasion for the journey can
flippantly be said to be life itself. The author was never troubled
by life. It seemed to go well. There where things he liked and
didn’t like. In general he accepted what he was told about life and
how it worked. He believe his teachers, his elders and his society.
They were obviously wiser and more experienced in life. So why
should he not believe them?
The disappointment he saw in people, the dissatisfaction with life
people had and the pain they suffered he assumed was “just part of
life” as he was told and that was the way it was. He never
considered what our role, individually and collectively, might be in
creating what we experienced. Yet, he always pondered “why - why is
it this way and not another?”. Experienced seemed to support what he
was told that there was no satisfaction in the physical plane. Only
an afterlife, a heaven, could provide a joyful and pleasurable
experience. Yet he was puzzled. There were great teachers in whom
many believed that said that heaven is, or can be, here and now. He
pondered what was missing. If heaven is here and now, why are we
missing it?
In many ways his incessant pondering lead him into the sciences. The
sciences seem to offer some answers but not all. What they did
reveal was the world was not as mysterious and hidden as most
believed. There were answers. But to get the answers, we had to ask
the right questions. Only in time did he begin to understand that
question we ask was a focus of our attention and awareness. Only in
time did he begin to understand it was how we focused our attention
and awareness determined what we saw.
As a physicist, he understood how the observer could change what was
observed. He understood probability and how we could shift the
probably outcome of certain situations. He understood how you could
make something improbable probable and something that was probable a
certainty by how you arranged the conditions. But he had yet to
comprehend it was how we focused our attention and awareness that
made all the difference. It wasn’t about rearranging the external
world to create the conditions of an experiment to observe results
that could not normally be seen outside the experimental conditions.
The key was the perspective we held that allowed us to even conceive
of doing the experiment that made the difference in what we could
see.
Eventually he was lead to exploring how we developed the perspective
we have. He was not so much interested in what perspective one has.
Rather the question was what was it about a perspective that the
allows one to see something and another not to see it. What was that
composite
minimum set of experience that allow one to see in a particular
way and how do you give it to them. Years of working in safety
caused him to ponder why people did not see the precursors to the
accidents they experienced. The individuals were technically
competent. They were trained in what they did. Yet, they could not
see the precursors for what they were an accident was waiting to
happen. Where was their mind that they could not see what kept
popping up in front of them? What caused one to see and another not
to see? Alternatively said, were did awareness come from and how
does one become aware?
In looking for the occasion for the journey, the author could find
no single occasion. He talks about a
subconscious journey and a
conscious journey into creativity. Yet, both were only response
to a composite of questions that arose as a result of the life he
was experiencing and an attempt to answer question those questions.
The author can point to occasions that caused him to move in a
certain direction to explore an issue, but it was life itself that
provided the occasion to explore creativity.
Origins of the journey
(Top)
In realizing that life itself was
the occasion to explore creativity, in many ways you could say that
it was also the origins of the journey. However, that is not really
the case. The origins of the journey into creativity actually lies
beyond the life the author experienced and the experiences he was
having. It lies beyond the life the author experienced not in the
sense that there is an
intention for our life and the author
incarnated to create something in particular. Rather the origins
of the journey into creativity is what lies behind life itself and
behind the intention for our life. That is, the essential nature of
the
material of Creation is to create.
Creativity and the need for us to be consciously creative was a
topic that never interested the author. He always seemed to be able
to find creative solutions to the problems he faced and had a way of
navigating through life that was reasonably fulfilling and
satisfying. From the perspective of conscious awareness, the only
thing that really puzzled the author was why there were so many
dissatisfied, frustrated or otherwise unhappy successful people.
Throughout his career, he meet many people whom society would call
successful. They had met all the criteria society has given them for
success. But they did not feel successful or were unhappy. Many who
were successful were afraid of losing the success they found. Again
the author pondered, “What is missing?”
The author pondered, “Why is what is being giving by those who
seemingly know, whether it be spiritual, mental, emotional or
physical, not appear to be providing the satisfaction individuals
seek?” Of course, there were always exceptions and a few individuals
did seem to find fulfillment, but the percentage was very small.
This question was always in the back of the author’s mind. It first
made it appearance at about age eight as discussed in the topics the
“Subconscious
Journey into Creativity” and “An
Inherent Mystic.” But that question itself did not trigger the
exploration into creative. As discussed in the topic the “Conscious
(Elective) Journey into Creativity” the issues of the workplace
motivate the author to explore organizational creativity. Then in
time, with the appearance of the
creative spirit at the time of the
Ultimate Accident, he began to look deeper into the nature of
creativity and how we create what we do. But always behind the outer
exploration in which ever direction it took, was, “What is missing
in what we seemed to know?’
What the author came to understand was
too much to be believed for most. He came to understand how it
is possible that we are the creators of both our experiences and the
reality of those experiences. What he came to understand was that,
although it is true, we are not here to just have certain types and
kinds of experiences and determined by the intention for our life.
Rather, we are simply creators experiencing our creations. And, if
we look deep enough, we can see how we are the Creator experiencing
Its Creation.
So, in the end, the true origins of the journey into creativity is
simply a
creator/Creator experiencing his/her
creation/Creation. It is just that in this particular
creation/Creation, the creator/Creator chose to become aware of how
he/she create what he/she experiences.
Too much to be believed for most only because they have never
been taught now it is possible. Yet, nevertheless true. The origins
of this material is simply the creator/Creator experiencing their
creation/Creation. So the answer to the question, “What is not being
given to people?” is simply that they are not being told they are
the creators of the experiences they have and they are not being
give a way to understand how they could be that creator. One
intention of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material is to
provide a way to understand how it is possible that we are, in fact,
the creators of our experiences.
