It is stated in “The
recovery of a creative spirit - a soul retrieval”: The
following is a narrative of the events in the author’s life that
gave rise to the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity understanding
and its applications. It includes the sequence of events which lead
up to his outward soul retrieval.
As described in the narrative, “The
recovery of a creative spirit - a soul retrieval.” the author
chose to undergo a shamanic
soul retrieval to address the conditions that appeared to be
arising in his life. However, because of the author’s lack of
understanding at the time about
how we create our experiences, he
did not realized two things. One is how
our inner world is reflected in the outer world. That is,
inner changes occur before the outer changes and the inner flows out
into the outer. It is analogous to the mantel of the earth and
how the lava of the earth flows outward to form the shell of the
planet we experience.
The second thing was that
creative is the language of consciousness and what occurs in the
outer world is a communication of our consciousness. What is created
is only the best
mind can give based on its past experiences and
what can be expressed in the outer world as it currently exists. Or,
alternatively said,
what the
environment can support.
It
does not necessarily accurately reflect what consciousness is trying
to communicate. It is only the best that mind can express based on
its past experiences and current conditions. As such we need to
learn to interpret the communication.
Since the author did not understand these two things at the time of
the
Ultimate Accident and soul retrieval, he did not see the
statement "Your head is not connected to you body," as a
communication from the consciousness within his creative spirit
reflected externally. He was not aware that his creative spirit was
consciously was aware of the separation of the heart and
mind and he
was undergoing the process of connecting the two. That is in fact
why is surfaced externally in his life. The wise thing would have
been for him to just continue to allow himself to surrender to what
he was feeling. However, rather than
surrender
to the
feelings to allow what is
symbolized in the heart to
intend the direction for his life and mind attend to the details,
he allowed mind to intend the
direction. That caused the freedom he saw being released in his life
and in his world become captured by the past.
In hind sight, the actual soul retrieval did not retrieve his soul.
His soul was already in the process of awakening and reconstituting
itself. The
dormant parts of his being necessary to
fulfill the intention for his current
incarnation were awakening and the outward desire/need for a
soul retrieval was only a communication as to what was happening
internally. However, the author’s
mind acted on it as if a soul
retrieval was necessary. In regards to mind, a soul retrieval was
absolutely necessary for that is what his mind understood given the
author past experiences. Since the author’s past experiences in this
life gave him no deeper wisdom, all it could do was do a soul
retrieval. It is here a profound wisdom and
lesson learned is available to us.
In understanding the
creation process and how
creativity is the
language of consciousness filter through
mind and its
past experiences, we can look to the creation process to see where
mind may be limiting our options to find a
faster, easier,
gentler and more playful way to manifest what our consciousness
desires to experience. In this regard, the value in the
author’s story is to reveal the creation process relative to
transforming our life and becoming the
phoenix and bring the path of the mind and that of the heart,
the
mystical path, into alignment. In the authors’ life, he
transformed himself to move into alignment with his reason for
incarnating having lived his life outside of it or in separation
from it. But the process is not different for anything we wish to
create with, and in, our life.
We need to learn to
dance
between the heart and the mind to
create anything in our life. The internal changes need to be made
first in
mind and what we think and believe and then
surrender
to the flow. Those internal changes are then reflected in some
type and kind of experience externally. However, whatever is
experienced is filtered through mind and what is available in the
external world as it currently exists. In a different environment
and/or with a different way of thinking and believing, the same
thought will usually create a different experience. The same thought
will create similar experiences but they will be different and
sometimes substantially different. We need to remember to not
respond to the world as if our intention is unfulfilled. Rather, we
need to be ready to iterate the process as the events change to
reflect our intention.
We need to realize the only difference in aligning with the
intention for one’s life and creating from within that intention as
opposed to creating from whatever one currently thinks and believes
is one of feeling. Creating from within the intention for one’s life
provides an inner feeling of wholeness, oneness, integration and a
seeming magic to Creation. Creating from whatever
mind thinks and
believes based on it past experiences results in a feeling of
separation, aloneness and that something is missing in whatever one
creates. What is missing is that
conscious or nonconscious awareness of the source of one’s being
for it remains
nonconscious, asleep and dormant.
Relative to an inner and outer soul retrieval, the inner soul
retrieval was on going through the
nonconscious journey into creativity which started early in life
by the incessant questioning of “Why?” The outer soul retrieval was
only a reflection of that the inner journey had reached a critical
mass of understanding and experience such that a sufficient
reconstitution of his creative spirit had occurred such that the
outer now had to reflect the inner changes. Yet the outer was really
reflecting the inner all through the process at a
nonconscious
level. In essence, a critical mass of life experienced had been
accumulated or were assembled through the use of the
internal compass such that the nonconscious direction for the
authors’ life, his
mystical path, became reflected outwardly. In essence he gained
that
minimum set of requisite experience to understand there was a
purpose and direction for his life. There was something his creative
spirit desired to do. But the path could only be felt and known
mentally only
in hindsight. In time the mystical path would merge with the
professional path and a new life, a new way of being in the
world would occur. But is was as
an unfoldment and an evolution.
Markers existed in the author’s life to reflect significant shift
much like earthquakes represent significant shifts in gradual
movement of the surface of the earth. However, most of the movement
was slow and evolutionary. To the casual observer, he was just
living life and undergoing many of the seemingly random changes we
have to our life. Yet, in hindsight, a definite and evolutionary
movement from an enculturated external focus with its emphasis on
external direction to an internal focus which was control by
author’s relative
nonconscious use of his
internal compass. It is said that it was a relatively
nonconscious use of his internal compass because the concept of the
internal compass did not readily appear as a concept to the author
until after the
Ultimate Accident. Prior to the Ultimate Accident, the author
did consciously use an internal feeling to guide him through much of
his life but he never saw it as an internal compass that was guiding
his life. In this regard, if he would have stayed with the feeling
and the internal compass after the soul retrieval, he could have
created a
faster, easier, gentler and more playful process. But then he would not
have gain the awareness of the process and
lessons learned for
others to understand how and why a
faster, easier, gentler and more playful way could be created.
Here again, there are
experiences
we incarnated to have. Obtaining those
experiences will be an influence in our life. We cannot know the
experiences before hand but we can feel the direction we need to go
and create a life that allows us to follow the feelings. We need to
become sufficiently mindful and aware to allow what is
symbolized in our heart to intend the direction of our life and
our
mind attend to the details to make it happen in a safe fashion.
That is, we need to learn to navigate from the heart.
