Creation is about the expression
and unfoldment of a flow of energy as it is directed by
consciousness within a given environment. The essence of the
creative process to create an experience is seen as entangling,
entwining or otherwise
binding the free flow of our
creative spirit or our
creative life energy, our ability to create, in a way that
allows us to experience what we do the way we do.
A simple example of the overall process can be seen in creating the
experience of watching a movie. First we focus our attention and
awareness on the idea. From where the particular idea we get comes
from is another separate aspect of the creative process. In any
case, once we have the idea, we then have to act to go and somehow
access a movie - such a going to a movie theater, renting or buying
a movie. After obtaining the movie, we sit and watch it. In essence,
we focus directs, entangles or binds our attention and awareness,
and the energy we possess to do something, to watching the movie. We
cannot create another experience until we release that focus of our
attention and awareness. In essence by focusing our attention and
awareness on the movie, we bind, entangle or others entwine our
creative ability and power to watching the movie. In doing so, we
cannot access that creative power and ability until we release that
focus. The difference in creating our life as opposed to a
particular experience in our life is that we are multidimensional.
Whether we realize it or not, we can hold a focus of our attention
and awareness both consciously and subconsciously in a infinite
number of ways simultaneously.
We create life by
binding and releasing our creative energy is a variety of
conscious and subconscious ways simultaneously. For example, we can
be driving a car, talking to a passenger and scratching ourselves
simultaneously. To create something new, whether it be an object or
an experience, requires us to release a sufficient portion of the
existing entanglements of our
creative life energy to free the energy necessary to create what
we desire. Most often this can be done quite readily and usually
subconsciously. We do it all the time for this ability to transform
and shift our energy is inherent within our being. In this regard,
there is nothing to learn as to how to do it for we already do it.
We are just unaware of exactly what we do and how we do it.
However, often, because our
creative life energy has become so entangled or is so strongly
bound, we need to become consciously aware of the entanglement to
break them and/or allow the energy that is bound to be expressed in
a physical experience to dissolve the attachment. This latter point
is like pushing a big round rock down a hill. It takes, relatively,
little effort to push the rock and get it rolling. However, once it
starts to roll down the hill because of the conditions of the hill,
the rock cannot be readily stopped. It must follow its path until
the energy is fully dissipated. So too many of the choices we make
and the effect they create. The choice is simply and easy but they
can start a movement and flow of energy that cannot be stopped and
the energy must dissipate in an experience.
In essence our
creative spirit has consciously or subconsciously chosen to
bind our creative energy in such a way that we have a physical
experience. In this regard, a significant portion of our creative
energy goes into sustaining our life and the way we currently
experience it. The question here is what do we think it means to be
human and have a physical experience as a human for those beliefs
are determining much of what we experience. To change what we
experience may require us to change what it means to be human, or
rather, how humans think about themselves.
On this point is a potential conflict with any creative activity.
Part of being human is to expect continuity with the past. We expect
the sun to rise in the morning and we expect to get up and get out
of bed tomorrow morning. Although our world and/or our lives can
change in a moment as represented in any disaster or accident, we
expect the future to be very much like the past. To be human is to
expect tomorrow, the future, to be much like the past, yesterday and
today. We don’t not expect radical shifts each moment. However, any
creative endeavor is to bring into existence something that has not
been experience or is significantly different than what has been
experience. Hence somewhere at some point there needs to be a break
with the past and what it means to be human to create. The question
is exactly what aspect of one’s thinking and how we expect the world
to unfold needs to change so we can create something different.
In studying the creative process you can come to find more often
than not, these entanglements and how we
bind our creative energy and/or direct our creative energy is
determined by our belief structure. That is, how and what we think
and believe about ourselves and the world, and how we connect
ourselves to the external world and environment in which we find
ourselves. Often we only need to change how we think to redirect the
flow of energy to create something new. Other times we need to let
the energy dissipate in an experience before we can redirect it.
Sill other times we can minimize or reduce the energy that needs to
be dissipated in an experience by the choices we make.
If we struggle against the flow we ourselves created, often we will
create conditions similar to accidents and illnesses to dissipate
the energy mismatch. Of course, it needs to be realized that
sometimes we
create conditions of accident and illness because they are the
way we obtain a particular experience we desire. In any case, we
often become so immersed in how and what we think and believe and
how we have focused our attention and awareness that we cannot stand
outside ourselves to see how we have put our
creative spirit in a cage of our own making. Often we need the
eyes of another to see exactly how and where we have so entangles
ourselves that we cannot get our creative spirit
free to create what we desire. So for any creative endeavor the
first step in internal creation process will be directed at
refocusing one’s attention and awareness. It is to break any
subconscious focuses that can interfere with what we desire to
create.
