In may ways the issues of God and sex are related as opposites ends of a spectrum and ultimately cannot be separated from each other for each deal with the creative power to create life. At one end of the spectrum lies what is perceived as external creative power/Creative Power which people interpret in some concept of God. At the other end lies creative power as perceived internally. Yet the two come together to create life whether that life is within an individual or outside the individual. The creative connection between the two, how they are related and how they impact accessing and releasing our inherent unlimited creativity was the focus of the second half of the journey into exploring creativity after the author experienced the Ultimate Accident. As discussed in the topic “In a Box,” in many ways the second half of the journey was trying to figure out how to explain and properly present these topics from a creativity perspective and in a way that will free our creative spirit rather than bind and capture it.

The Ultimate Accident was a turning point. In a moment everything became different and was seen differently. In particular, the focus shifted from trying to see physical Creation and the world of spiritually as separate as the author was enculturated to believe. It was shifted to seeing a seamless flow of energy that had an inner and an outer expression. It was much like a lava tube flowing underwater from a volcano where a hard outer shell is formed with a hot flowing stream of molten lava inside continually pushing the length of the tube outward into expression as a solid form. In particular the author became aware of a creative spirit, a unique individualized flow of energy within each of us that was unfolding into the expression of our life. Yet this creative spirit was also part of a lager flow of energy of which it is an individualized part.

What the author came to understand through the Ultimate Accident and the experience of the Source of Creation was a flow of energy gives rise to an inner and outer expression. What we perceive as the outward flow of energy, the harder outer shell, is what give rises to our life as we experienced it as an individual human and includes both our body and the world around us. What animates our life and the world we experience is the inner flow. It is unseen because of the outer shell. It is much like a lava tube where the outer shell of harden lava prevents one from seeing inside. But we can nevertheless feel the flow and the direction in which it is traveling. We can feel its warmth when life is present and it coldness in its absence.

What many perceive as the outer creative power animating the world actually arises from this inner flow of energy. What we perceive as our inner creative power is the individualized flow of energy that give rise to our individual form as a human being. This inner and outer creative power/Creative Power come from the same source/Source. The two come together at the Source of Creation when life is generated for all life is is a new flow of energy. To generate a flow of energy that gives rise to a new outward form, one must go back to the Source from where each flow originates. It is here the inner creative power and outer creative power come together and the door to Creation is open. The individualized flow of energy that we experience as our life returns to the Source of Life to create a new life both in our death and in sexuality. In many ways sexuality is a death for part of us dies and is reborn in the new life that is created. If one is aware, awake and is paying attention when they enter these states, one can see into what is giving rise to all that exists and see how and where the flows of energy are leading.

It is here an important realization need to be made and the link between the outer creative power/Creative Power which many see and interpret as God and the inner creative power/Creative Power, that God within, can be understood. Our ability to create and make things happen is done through our ability to access the flow of energy that animates our life. The more passion we have the more energy we have to create and make things happen in the world. That flow of energy flows from the source/Source of our being. We can create a tremendous about in our life by simply tapping into this flow of energy within our being and never return to the source. But what we create will not be a new life within ourselves or in within the world. We will simply operate from an existing flow of energy and the past that created it. Creation in turn is the superposition of all the existing flows of energy.

To create a new life whether within ourselves or externally, we need to access a new or different flow of energy. To do that we need to go back to the source/Source of life. It is here where the externally perceived creative power/Creative Power and internally perceived creative power/Creative power come together and why sexuality becomes such an issue. Sexuality is the vehicle we use to return to the source/Source to create life and create a new life within ourselves.

What has been observed from a creativity perspective is that if we desire to create a new life in any way and break with the past, we can expect sexuality and/or the issue of God or spirituality to rise as an issue in our creative endeavor. In this case the sexuality and an understanding about God/spirituality is needed to create that new life for a new flow of energy needs to be created. If we are content to create with what is and rearrange the pieces, then sexuality and God/spirituality will not become an issue. If sexuality and/or God/spirituality arises in a creative endeavor and we are not seeking to create a new life in ourselves or in the world, then it is most probably tied to how our sexuality and God/spirituality have become bound or entwined with our creative power by our past decisions and choices. As we access our creative power to create what we desire in this case sexuality and/or God/spirituality arises simply because they are pulled along from the past and may or may not actually be blocking the expression of our creativity. In any case, if we are not willing to face what arises in a creative endeavor, we will thwart or stifle our creation.

The Creative Spirituality and Creative Sexuality web sites were created to provide information that may be useful if either God/spirituality and/or sexuality rise in our creative endeavors.
