Throughout the Releasing Your
Unlimited Creativity material it is said we can learn to feel our
thoughts, our words and our deed and actions which serve and do not
serve us. The question is, “What exactly serves us, how do we know
what serves us and how do we feel when we are being served.
Although exactly what we will feel will be unique to our being there
are some things that tend to be somewhat generic. There are some
general statements that can be made about what severs or doesn’t
serve us
It needs to be remembered we are
infinitely creative beings of unlimited creativity. If we choose
to explore and know ourselves we would always be feeling as though
we are continually expanding. Or we would have a feeling of
expansion in the life we live whether or not we consider what we
experience in the moment painful or pleasurable. Even in pain we
would experience a part of our selves expanding.
When we feel ourselves shrink, we are deny ourselves or otherwise
becoming less that we are. All we need to do is to look to see if
the experience we have is giving us a feeling of expansion and a
feeling of becoming more expansive. That is, the awareness of
ourselves and/or Creation expands with little or not effort. It
addition whatever we experience is, or directs us toward, creating
a life worth living.
General statements about what
serves and doesn’t serve you
The following are some indicators
that have been found to let us know if our being is served. To know
what specifically serves or doesn’t serve you as an individual it is
recommended you do the discerning truth exercise discussed in “Calibrating
Your Internal Compass” and see what telling yourself a truth and
telling yourself a life feels like to you.
Typically, activities that serve us cause us experience one or more
of the following: we feel we are growing in the awareness of our own
being; we feel an expansion within our being; we experience a
lightness of being; we experience a feeling of bliss and joy within
our being independent of what is happening externally; and/or we
experience calmness in our being as we are actively engaged in
whatever it is we do. The more we feel what we would describe or
interpret as a feeling of inner bliss and joy in what we do or one
of these other feelings, the more that what we do and experience is
probably in alignment with our personal truth and serving who and
what we are.
When we are served we are directed toward creating
a life worth living. A life worth living will direct us to move
closer to living our creative passion and/or what gives us a passion
for life and for living. What we do that serves our being should
create a desire to live life.
To be served at our deepest levels, we should be finding ourselves
to be encouraged by what we do to move toward living more and more
in a state of spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery
and exploration of the universe. What we do should move us toward
living in wonderment and “ah “at how the universe operates. That is
we are so overwhelmed by what we are experiencing all we can utter
is “Ah.” If we are not moving more and more into spontaneous and
innocent childlike play, we are not living our creative passion but
only living to something our mind has created to mask our true
passion and our true nature and we are not really being served. We
may be enjoying life, but we are not being served at our deepest
levels.
One example of being served
As we live life and gain more
experience in life we should not be surprised that we refine the
feeling that gives us the expansion described above. Additionally we
should realizes the more we can live that feeling that serves us at
our deepest levels, the greater our chance of the
Ultimate Accident and consciously experiencing the Source of
Creation. Here is one such example of the author.
“All of my life I have followed a feeling, a deep inner feel. It has
been a feeling very close to my heart and what is
symbolized by the heart. As a child, I described that feeling as
a feeling of play. As a child I would do those things that game me
that feeling of play as I defined play. Everything wasn’t playful.
Some were more playful than others.
"As an adult and I “outgrew” the concept of play. It wasn’t that I
did not continue to look to play as I understood play. Rather it was
as an adult, I could no longer talk about play for an adult was not
suppose to play. Or, what others called play was more competitive
and not the type and kind of activities I called play. So, I
characterized the feeling as doing what I found to be “fun” or
“enjoyable.” Yet that was an improper characterization of that
feeling. For the feeling was not “fun” or “enjoyable,” it was a
different feeling that doing what was fun or enjoyable.
"The feeling was more refined and more akin to the feeling I had
that arose from the model train collection I had. I look to create
to create a model train layout. Over time I found the dream of
creating that model train layout was what I was using
to protect my creative spirit as I moved through life. In
essence, what life expected of me and required me to do was not what
allow this inner feeling of what was import to my being to be
expressed. The model trains provided a way to keep that feeling
alive. But it wasn’t the trains that gave the feeling. It was
what I was doing with them that gave rise to the feeling. I was
creating with them. Conscious creating gave a feeling within my
being that the only characterization my mind could give it was
childlike “play,” “fun” or “enjoyable.” Yet those characterization
were inaccurate.”
“The “real” experience came, or rather the deepest experience and
awareness of this feeling came when I experienced the
Ultimate Accident. Then, for a short period of time, I had a set
of experiences that wove together like I never had experienced
before. It as not one experience. It was all of them simultaneously
together and what they meant. It was being allowed to simultaneous
go to the source of my being, to the source of life at each and
every level of my being to create a new life with that part of my
being. It was the experience of going to the source of life
simultaneously spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically
unique to my being that I realized the feeling that was guiding me
all thorough my life. It was then, and only then that, I could begin
to character exactly what is was that was guiding me through life.
It was the feeling that arises from
creation/Creation of life/Life. I was at the
source/Source of creation/Creation and the source of life/Life.
As I was in that experience and feeling I also experienced who and
what the “I” really is and isn’t. I saw and experienced creation for
what it really was.”
“So over the years I have tied to create a way to consciously live
in that
source/Source and at the source/Source. Although I know I do it
very moment subconsciously, it is the conscious experience of it
that I seek. And I know how to do that. But, intriguingly,
creation/Creation is not done alone. We need another or others for
any experience we have. We need another to help create that
conscious experience of the source/Source. So, it is not something I
can do myself. Nor is it something anyone else can do themselves. In
some ways it is a paradox of creation. Although the source/Source
resides within me and only I can open that door to access it and
consciously experience it, I cannot access it without another with
whom to create an experience of creation.”
It is for the reason, that
creation/Creation is not done alone, that we have a deep longing
in our heart. The longing comes from the origins of Creation Itself
as the “Creation
Story for the Creativity Perspective” ties to communicate. It is
the source of the
ultimate pain we will face. It is the need to remove this pain
that leads to a search and/or potentially to addictions. It is a
search for the Beloved, the beloved, that perfect soul mate and
whatever and whomever is willing to become a co-creator of the
experiences we desire to have. It is a source of potential
addictions for an awareness of the pain without a way to remove it
we seek to numb it. Yet the remedy of the pain is not having what we
appear to seek whether it be the
beloved/Beloved or the addiction we use. The pain is removed in
creating and embracing the free expression of the creative spirit
within our being. Yet, again the paradox, the free expression of our
creative spirit cannot be done without another in co-creation of the
experience we create with our creative spirit.
The recommendation
The recommendation is, whatever we
use or do in life ,we should
eat and digest it making it our own and using what is effective
for what we wish to create. We need to allow what we do to arise
from within our being such that it provides us what an experience of
our own creation, not that of another even if in the end we do
something similar to another.
If we follow the guidance, direction and/or approach of another we
need to look to see if they are effective in our life and allows our
creative spirit to freely flow and express itself. We need to look
to see if what they give provides us a feeling of expansion and a
feeling of becoming more expansive as described above. It is in that
expansion into the infinity of our own being we will find the Source
of Creation and the Source of Life and we will find
a life worth living.
We come fully equipped to find and live such a life. We come with an
internal compass that will guide us to that life if we follow
it. All we need to do is
calibrate the internal compass and follow it. We do so through
feeling and not what mind thinks or wants. The key is to become
aware of what it is in life of what allows our creative spirit to be
free - to be free to unfold and express itself in freedom true to
its nature. This we do through feeling and a mindfulness and
awareness of what we feel.
