From the “Our
Creative Spirit” Home Page: Accessing and establishing a
conscious relationship with our creative spirit will change your
life. How much your life will change depends on what type of
relationship you choose to create with your creative spirit. (More
on .... How your life can change and truth in labeling)
There is an old saying. An individual learns from their
mistakes. A wise individual
learns from the mistakes of others. A fool never learns. The
Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity approach looks to help you to
become wise in your creative endeavors no matter what they may be
and learn from the experience and, sometimes, the mistakes of
others. In this regard, there are things we can learn about how the
lives of others have changed. We can begin to understand and have
some idea as to what to expect when we step into the unknown to
consciously embrace our creative spirit.
Modern society encourages truth in all labeling and/or “up
front”full disclosure on all products. It is encouraged so that the
user can be aware of any hazards or side effects to any products
that are used and/or prevent false advertising. It is to help ensure
the user is not deceived or advantage taken of their lack of
understanding or lack of appropriate information. In this regard,
there are things which will occur that one may find unacceptable or
at least undesirable. Here again, having some idea as to what can be
expected, one can implement compensatory measure to reduce the
discomfort.
Relative to accessing and becoming intimate with our creative
endeavors there are several topics that fall under truth in labeling
and/or up front, full disclosure considerations. In these
considerations, we can learn from the experiences and/or mistakes of
others who have gone before us into exploring the world of
creativity.
How your life will change
(Top)
As discussed within the topic “How
the Creative Spirit Functions,” it tends to operate behind the
scenes. Only when it is
called forth, given
permission to come out and
given the space to unfold true to its nature do we face
significant life changes. The reason for this is quite simply. A
part of you has lied unseen, unacknowledged and essentially dormant
behind the life that you have created. When this creative spirit is
awaken, there is another person in your life. When this creative
spirit appears, you have a choice. One is to deny it and suppress
it. One is to surrender to it. The third is to learn to dance with
it. But to dance with it, you must allow the lead to alternate
between what your mind wants and what your creative spirit wants.
This dance will cause you to live life in
alternative way.
Our problem is that once we become aware of the creative spirit, we
cannot go back and live in unawareness of is existence. If we try
and suppress it or even suppress the awareness of it, we will cause
ourselves to experience pain and separation in our life at some
level of our being. Exactly how the pain and separation is
experienced depends on the individual. It may be just a deep
dissatisfaction with life. It may be a deep inner longing for a
beloved or The Beloved. It may be a feeling of separate or
alienation from others. Or, it may be a feeling there is something
more but you don’t know what that more is. Pushing it aside can even
create accident, illness, and/or other things that we experience
life that seem to make life and living a less than satisfactory
experience.
It needs to be realized is that our creative spirit has the ability
to create an
inner satisfaction with life that never runs dry no matter what
is happening in the external world. The ability to create this inner
state is lost when the creative spirit is denied and/or suppressed.
To surrender to the creative spirit, our life is no longer our own.
It is as though our life is controlled by forces outside ourselves.
This can be very frightening to mind. Mind is afraid that its worst
fears from the past or what it has seen happen to other will surface
in their life. Yet this creative spirit
possesses a life giving wisdom. The creative spirit
incarnated to have certain types and kinds of experiences. There is
an intention,
the intention for our life, that governs its unfoldment. Usually
this unfoldment is a deep undercurrent carrying us through life and
it seeks to create the life it incarnated to have. However, when we
become consciously aware of its existence it become frightening. We
become frighten because the life that it seeks is most often not
what our mind wants. Yet it is only in seeking the life we
incarnated to have do we find that inner satisfaction that never
runs dry. In reality, consciously embracing the creative spirit is
nothing different that what already exists in our life. It is
just that we are experiencing consciously what we are currently
doing subconsciously.
Dancing with our creative spirit also causes our life to become
different. In dancing with our creative spirit we can retain much
control over our life but we nourish our creative spirit in the way
it need to be nourished. There is much we can leave the same in our
life but we will need to look to see what we do in life which allows
us to hold our creativity sacred. In the same way we do not normally
place our selves in a situation where we can harm or injury
ourselves or where we can be harmed or injured by another, we will
being to look to do the same for our creative spirit. That will then
cause us to live our life differently.
How different depends on three things. One is how much we have been
harming and injuring our creative spirit by the life we have been
lead to live based on what we think and believe. A second thing is
how much others have or are harming or injuring our creative spirit.
Many of us live life to please others rather at the expense of our
creative spirit. The third thing is how much we change our life as
we begin to address the response patterns we have been using in life
to keep our creative spirit safe based on the past. That is changing
the response patters of the past that we use that created in
response to where our creative spirit has been harmed and injured or
where its creative thrust were somehow thwarted in its efforts. As
we being to address these three things, we will find our life become
different. They will not necessarily be radical changes but you will
see an evolution to a different way of being in the world and
responding to the world.
