Summary
Once we
access the feelings to create or the feelings arise based on our
past programming there appears to be two way or two parts to our
creative power. Observation has shown there appears to be an
inner creative power and an outer creative power. That is, we
have an ability within ourselves to cause something new and not
previously experienced to come into existence. Similarly there are
things we can do externally or outside ourselves which give us the
ability to cause something new and not previously experienced to
come into existence.
Experiencing these two creative powers as separated is nicely said
in an old Arab proverb, “Trust in God but tether you camel.” That
is, there are things the outer
creative powers/Creative Powers
are responsible for doing and there are things the
inner creative powers/Creative Powers are responsible for doing.
We cannot expect one to do the work of the others. The question is,
“When to we look to the inner and when do we look to the outer, or
maybe we need to use both?” Accessing creative power is about being
able to trust our thinking and to come to know ourselves such that
we know when we must go within, when we must go without or when we
must use a combination of inner and outer to get what seek.
Most of our experience with these inner and outer creative powers
cause us to think they separate and unrelated. However, ultimately
they are interconnected. This discussion addresses the outer
creative power as separate power. Parallel discussions address the
inner creative power and
how the inner and outer are connected and accessed.
Accessing external creative power starts with feelings
(Top)
creative power
is about feelings. From the perspective of the
inner creative power and outer creative power being separate,
external creative power is accessed through the experiences of
mind and our understanding of how external creation appears to
work. But to access and use the external creative power we still
need to have the
passion and energy to act on what we know about the external
world. Consequently, we must first become passionate and/or
enthusiastic about engaging life in some way. Then we direct the
focus of our attention and awareness externally to find someone or
something in which to
ground or direct our
creative life energy and actions in life.
Accessing the external creative power is about understanding how the
inner world is tied to the outer. On a shallow level, it is to see
the inner world and outer worlds as separate. On a deeper level it
is to understand and use how the inner and outer worlds are
connected.
Obviously we need to feel something inside us about something
external for us to want to act externally. But we also need to
understand the inescapable basic connections between the inner and
the outer. For example, our breathing supplies the oxygen from the
external world. The oxygen combines with the internally digested
food in the form of the dissolved chemicals in our cells to produce
the energy. That energy is the energy we need to sustain our
physical life.
Depending how we think about ourselves and the world, we have power
to indirectly control and/or regulate this energy which animates our
physical life by what we eat, exercise and the like. Controlling and
regulating the energy which animates our life by how we live our
life is the first level of accessing the external power of creation.
We can use the energy which sustains us to access and control more
of the external world or direct it inward. The energy animating our
life is what gives us the power to control and/or regulate the
energy of nature, such as wind or water. Or, it provides the power
to control the animating energy of another, whether that other be
animal, such as harnessing a horse, or another individual to create
a slave.
Exploring outer creative
power (Top)
Exploring outer creative power
will eventually lead us to the realization that there are two levels
to outer creative power. One is to work with the creation as it is.
It is about transforming the existing external form of energy into
something else. Externally, this outer creative powers appears to
lie in influencing or controlling individuals, learning and
manipulating the “laws” of Creation, and accessing and/or
influencing entities in the
unseen realm of Creation which most attribute to God or other
unseen entities.
The second way to access the external creative power and work with
it in the world is through the
bridge point where the inner and outer originate. Here we do the
necessary inner work and allow the external manifestation to grow
and unfold from the inner
seed condition we create.
Working the external world as it exists in separation
(Top)
Working with the outer creative
power is to work within the frame work of Creation as it exists. For
any creation, the
energy and power within an existing creation available to us is
fixed. Because the energy and consciousness within Creation
exist in a fixed arrangement to give rise to Physical Creation and
our personal experience of Physical Creation they appear to be
separate and unrelated. The essential illusion of Physical Creation
is that the energy and consciousness which gives rise to Physical
Creation are separate and unrelated.
The typical human view is to view the outer creative powers lies in
three primary areas. They are: influencing or controlling
individuals; learning and manipulating the “laws” of Creation; and
accessing and/or influencing entities in the unseen realm of
Creation which most attribute to God or other unseen entities. When
work from the perspective the inner world is separate from the other
world, these three areas often seem totally unrelated to each other
and have to be worked individually.
Understanding what we know
(Top)
As stated above, our creative
power starts with a feeling within us which causes us to act in the
world. So, no matter in what area we choose to act externally, it is
essential to know and understand our own
mind, what we believe and what we think and what causes us and
others to act in the world.
The second thing we need to do to access the external creative power
is to look to see what causes deep feelings and
passion to arise in our life such that we are motivated to act
in the world Accessing the external creative powers/Creative Powers
starts with a desire on our part. Something in the external
world
calls our creative spirit forth to act. It may be a conscious or
nonconscious call or an individual but there will always be
something. The question is, “What really causes us to become excited
about life?”
Influencing and
controlling individuals (Top)
The primary way we access external
creative power is by how we influence and control other individuals.
We may be unaware we do so, and most of us do it subconsciously, but
most of our life is directing toward getting another or other
individuals to do what we wish. Most of us learn to compromise our
own truth to be seen favorably by another. For most of us, it is the
first lesson we learn in life. We learn to compromise our truth and
our
creative passion to please our early care givers.
Society and the social structures we all live with are directed
toward getting each of us to sufficiently conform to create a
harmony in society. At a basic level, there is nothing wrong with
anything imposed on us to create harmony with another. The question
is whether or not what is imposed causes us to deny our own truth
and/or the truth of another. There are an infinite number of ways to
create an interaction between individuals. The question is, “Can we
create a way which allows the
creative spirit of each to freely unfold true to it nature?” Of
course, if we believe we can’t, then the question becomes, “Can we
create a way which allows for an optimization of the free unfoldment
of each creative spirit?” The answer to this question is always yes
if we wish to find it.
Influencing and controlling others is to work with what causes
others to act or not act. What needs to be understood for any of us
to act in the world we need some level of feeling and
passion to act. We may be motivated by fear and/or
pain, or avoidance of pain, but it nevertheless fear and pain
provides a feeling which causes us to act. If we look carefully much
of what we do in life is avoidance of pain and/or discomfort in one
way or another.
Motivation and motivational techniques are simply ways that are used
to influence and control others to support a give task or effort.
Advertising is simply methods that are used to get us to buy or
support an particular individual or product. Many if not most social
and cultural practices are directed toward getting the members of
the society to act a certain way and support certain objectives.
Punishment and reward systems are routinely use to influence and
control our action.
Controlling and regulating the animating energy of another is
literally and symbolically represented by how we can control the
food and water supply that is needed to sustain their physical life.
It is literal because if we don’t allow another to have food and
water, they will die. It is symbolic for it is actually how we
control and regulates the energy of another. How we regulate and
control another is much more subtle that supplying physical food It
is about what nourishment is, or is not, provided to an individual
at each level of their being to grow and unfold. We can starve an
individual spiritual, mentally and emotionally if we choose to do
so. Controlling what one eats and consumes at each level of their
being is reflected in how and what we get the individual to believe
about their the care givers, themselves, others in their life and
the world itself.
Influencing and controlling individual is to know and use what
causes any one individual to becomes sufficiently passionate to act
in the world in a way that supports what we desire to create.
Learning
and manipulating the “laws” of Creation (Top)
Learning and manipulating the
“laws” of Creation is about studying Physical Creation to see how it
works and how to influence or change which occurs in Physical
Creation. Studying Physical Creation is about understanding how the
energy of Physical Creation forms and reforms into the Physical
world we experience.
Here we encounter the concept that the
energy within an existing creation is fixed. Energy can neither
be created or destroyed, only transformed. With a creation energy
and consciousness are experienced as separated concepts. It is very
difficult to see and observe how we affect and influence what we are
experiencing. Yet with enough patients and careful observation we
can begin to see the relationship between energy and consciousness.
The deeper we explore Physical Creation we being to move to that
bridge point where the inner world can be seen as the reflection
of the outer and the outer as the reflection of the inner.
The approach of the physical sciences like physics and chemistry and
the application of their finding in the variety of engineering
fields provides the fastest and easiest way to learn about how to
manipulate the “laws” of Creation for our creative endeavors.
Accessing and/or influencing entities in the unseen realm of
Creation (Top)
When a creative power outside
ourselves is discussed, most quickly think of God, or some concept
of God, as the Creator of the world we inhabit and the source of
external
creative powers/Creative Powers.
The issue here not to discuss or debate the existence of God what
God is or isn’t. The issue here is accessing the creative power
which appear to lies outside of ourselves.
Accessing and/or influencing the unseen realm of Creation is
probably the area that most individual consciously attempt to do or
have attempted to do. Most act on what they think and believe about
the unseen provided to them by their family, society, religion, and
other spiritual and/or esoteric teachers whether or not those
teachers are seen as teach spiritual and/or esoteric teachings. Many
are given prayers, rituals, songs, mantras, yogic positions, sacred
places to visit, and the like to access and influences the
unseen creative powers/Creative Powers. Many would disagree with
the statement they are trying to influence the unseen. However, to
not be happy with what is as it is for any reason and to seek
something else is an attempt to influence what is.
What is important here and many do not realizes is that what we do,
no matter what it is, may or may not causes feelings to arise within
us. When we have feelings arises, we feel we have contacted the
unseen and accessed their support. If what we do causes no feelings
within us, we think God or whomever, has not heard our prayer or
plea. Whether we realize it or not, it is our own feelings that we
access and allow to flow or not flow.
To become energizes to go into battle because we believe God is on
our side, or because we desire to protect our children or because we
are simply angry makes no different to the energy. The same energy
catalyzes us to act in all three motives. It comes from the food we
eat and the strength of our body. All that is different is the label
we are giving it and how and why we allow it to flow in such
passion that we can go into battle. Many societies had rituals
and ceremonies specifically designed to excite their warriors before
battle and access this energy.
Similarly, we can go into any building and feel moved by what we
experience in that building. If it is some type of religious or
spiritual structure, we think we experience God or at least the
sacred. If we go into a commercial building and experience a similar
feeling because of the beauty of the architectural design, we do not
say we experience God or the sacred. Rather, we say we experience
the wonder and beauty of the artistic talents of the architect and
building. Yet, there is really no different in what we feel. What is
different is the label we give it and how we do or don’t
give ourselves permission and allow ourselves to feel.
The important point that needs to be understood here is that much of
what we think we access in the unseen realms is really our own
creative imagination and the power within ourselves to be
moved by the external world. If we really explores creativity, our
inherent creative power, and
hold
our own creativity sacred, we will come to see much of what we
think we access in the external unseen realms is really deeper
levels of our own internal world. However, no one has ever shown us
how to simply go within and access these unseen realms within.
Additionally many who go within and think what they feel is the
result of an external unseen aspect of Creation will miss that truth
of what is. If we continually look outward for something that is
giving rise to what we feel within no matter how we look outward, we
will never see where the creative power really lies. However, if
will allow ourselves to look inward when we experience something
that arises from an outward experience, we can being to see the
bridge point of how our inner world is reflected in the outer.
Relative to accessing and influencing the
unseen realms of Creation the recommendation made here is for us
do whatever we find effect in our life. It is to
allow
effectiveness to be our measure of truth and look to see if we
are getting what we think we should be getting. Do whatever we think
and believe is effective until the effectiveness is lost. Then look
for something else.
We need to realize that when we are correct in understanding how
something works, we get the results we expect. If we act but do not
get what we expect, then most probably there is something we do not
really understand about the situation. It need to be realized
it is in our assumptions we find our problems. The only thing we
need to realized is that often what we do is successful. But that
does not mean we have a correct understanding of the truth of what
is.
For example, many pray to God to be healed. Some are healed other
are not. If the principles being used were correct, God would always
heal. Many then go on to say that there are other reason why an
individual’s prayers were not answered. However, many do not
consider that maybe the healing always did come from within. Maybe
it was not so such the individual praying to God such that God
provided the healing. Maybe the individual simply accessed a part of
the spiritual aspect of their own being that allowed the healing to
occur. This lies in the forefront of the
mind body relationship and there are many unanswered questions
in this area.
But the same is true for many aspects of our life. When we truly
study what works and doesn’t work, things are usually not as simple
as we first imagine. But then ,when we understand the principles, it
become relatively simple and straight forward.
When it come to accessing and influencing the unseen aspects of
Creation you will need to simply use what is effective in your life
for your creative endeavors. You are unique. Ultimately what you do
will most probably be unique to your being. The recommendation is to
hold
your creativity sacred and
allow
effectiveness to be your measure of truth for what you desire to
create.
Working the outer
world within oneness (Top)
Working the outer world within
oneness is to work with the relationship of
energy and consciousness and how they are connected. It is to
begin to read the external world as a reflection and creation of the
inner world. It is to understand
creativity is the language of consciousness and the external
world we experience is only consciousness communicating to us.
Similarly, the external world we experience collectively is a
communication of the
collective and Physical Creation is a communication by the
creator of Physical Creation. The issue is not whether or not the
consciousness that created Physical Creation is God. Rather the
issue is what is that consciousness trying to communicate to us
through its creation. In many ways is not unlike the communication
in the story of
Moses and the Dancing Light.
Whether we realize it or not, as discussed in the topic “Implications of Pair Production in Our Creative Endeavors,”
our
inner world is a reflection of the outer. When one changes one,
the other changes. We often see impacts of earth changes on the
human population. However, because each of us appear so small in
relation to the earth we never see how our individual actions impact
the earth. Yet, given a large enough human population, we can change
the earth. Each of us, as is Physical Creation, are
creative living processes and the inner and outer are connected.
Everything we experience changes us in some way. Something just
reinforce what is. Other things dissolve what is. Some affect us
consciously. Others affect us subconsciously. What is important to
realize is that even though we don’t think the outer world is
changing in response to our inner world, it nevertheless does.
The outer world is a reflective and a creation of what our
mind ,both conscious and
nonconscious, currently thinks and believes. However, it needs
to be understood our
unconscious mind is what holds us to the physical experience as
it exist for this time and this place. The
subconscious mind is what we have come to believe about the
physical experiences as reflected in our enculturation and our
experiences in our current life. It determines how we experience and
respond to the world created through our unconscious mind. Although
the conscious mind thinks it is choosing how it is responding to
life, in actually, it is the subconscious programming and
experiences of our current life that is determining how we
characterize any energy we experience and give rise to the thoughts
we have and what we allow or don’t allow ourselves to feel. Until we
realize this point and learn to become a detached witness to look
behind our thoughts, ideas and images to look at what gives rise to
them. If we don’t, we will simply be responding to what we
experience through the past creating it in a new way. We will be
unable to access the depth of our creative power
So we are faced with a choice. One approach is to go within and
begin to work the subconscious and unconscious programming to
recreate what we experience. The other approach is to study the
external world and figure out how to access and use the energy
available within Creation as it exists. Since the Creation we
experience is created by
mind, working with the external
creative power/Creative Power
is best done using mind. This is what humanity has essentially done
through its history. Yet, if one looks carefully, only when someone
in humanity, intentionally or accidentally, stepped out of the
mind set and current way of seeing the world did breakthroughs
in understanding occurred.
As we move deeper into our inner world and explore our
inner creative power, we can come to see that the thought we
hold creates a
seed condition. If we continue to hold that thought and nurture
its growth within our being, it grows and unfold in the external
world. This is the accessing the ultimate external creative power.
It is to hold a
clear intention as a
single point focus for our life and then water that intention
unfold and grow as creation in the external world. We do this
subconsciously all that time. Few have accessed the inner awareness
and
strength of will to do it consciously.
Changing the energy of a
creation (Top)
It is stated in the discussion, “The
Energy and creative power/Creative Power Available in a Given
creation/Creation” the energy in a given creation is fixed. That
is energy can neither be created or destroyed, only altered in form.
This means we will not increased or decrease the total amount of
energy in a given creation. But we can change the amount of energy
we have into different forms of energy such as kinetic energy,
potential energy, rotational energy and the like.
However, with the awareness that
energy and consciousness are different forms of the same
material, we can our consciousness in such a way that more energy
becomes available. More energy is not
created as something from nothing. Rather more is made available
through what is accessed through consciousness. As such we can
change the
creation/Creation
we experience because of the energy we manipulate. In many ways you
can say that consciousness is just a different form of energy that
can be changed into back and forth into
creative life energy much the way we change kinetic energy back
and forth into potential energy as in a pendulum as it swings back a
forth.
What this means is that with the
creativity perspective
through understanding provided in the
energy consciousness model
we are not lock into the Creation we experience. With the right
change in consciousness, we can access any level of energy to create
what we desire. The only constrain we place on ourselves is that
while we are in Physical Creation, whatever we create we experience
from within a human body. Or, maybe better said, bound to a human
body. Why this is true is to simply hold ourselves to the desire to
have the physical experience which brought us into life. Exactly how
we go about accessing this energy through consciousness for any
thing we wish to create is best done by consulting our
intuitive guidance and inquire how we should go about do it.
Summary
(Top)
To access the external
creative power that current exists it means two things. One is to
work within the framework of Creation. It is to influence or
controlling individuals, learn to manipulate the “laws” of Creation;
and access and/or influence entities in the unseen realm of Creation
as we understand how to do so. The second thing is to look to see
what causes deep feelings and
passion to arise in our life such that we are motivated to act
in the world. However, if we so choose we can learn to work with the
oneness of Creation and experience
an alternative way to live our life.
