Creativity and to create is about
having the ability to make something happen. It is about bringing
into existence something never before seen or experiences or
something significantly different than the past. Energy is defined
as the capacity to produce and effect or do work. To make something
happen, that is to produce an effect we need energy. In exploring
creativity, we need to look at energy.
Energy is what lies behind our ability to make things happen. In
discussing energy, we need to ask ourselves to think on two levels.
One is a purely physical level. It is to think about energy as
energy as you know it and experience it. It is to study it to learn
to manipulate as through the sciences of physics and chemistry. The
second level is symbolically but with the realization that it is
more than symbolic. Although it is difficult for a human to
understand because we do not experience it directly, there is an
unseen aspect to energy that is influenced if not directly
controlled by our consciousness. Accepting the unseen of energy is
not too difficult. Accepting the unseen can be controlled by our
consciousness is usually more difficult.
Energy is the source of creation. Without a supply of energy there
is no ability to do anything. All physical creation can be viewed as
being energy. We know from physics that mass of your body or the
mass of the chair on which you sit is energy. The light from a bulb
or the Sun you use to read this page is energy. Energy that fuels
the car you may drive is contained in the gasoline consumed by the
engine. Only the form and expression of this energy is different.
All is energy and you too are an energy and energy animates your
life.
In studying
mysticism and energy together and looking carefully at what
energy is and how it is defined, one can see a
relationship between consciousness and energy. In working with
this relationship, we can come to see it is the flow of energy
within one’s being that is felt in, and by what we call the heart
but it is ultimately what is
symbolized in the heart. It is this flow of energy that lies
within our being that mind will direct by what it thinks and
believes.
Accepting the unseen aspect of energy is not too difficult for
physicists have characterized some of this unseen aspect of energy
as an electric and magnetic field and have observed the effects of
these fields. Through their understanding they have created many
technological advances with the use of this unseen aspect of energy
such a all radio transmission, radar, satellite communications and
the like. All that needs to be accepted here is that there is an
unseen aspect to energy and that there is an part of this unseen
aspect that can be controlled and manipulated by consciousness. It
is controlled by consciousness by how consciousness directs and
focuses its attention and awareness. Our goal here is to show you
how consciousness is capable of manipulating energy and one of the
tools to this understanding is meditation. Meditation as a tool is
discussed on the web site, “Meditation
Concepts and Principles for Creativity.”
What you will come to see in studying the
relationship of consciousness and energy to manipulate the
energy with or though consciousness, one must be able to have the
ability to hold a
single point focus of their attention and awareness and make
their life a
living meditation. The channel that one uses to directs this
energy is one’s spiritual and mental beliefs and what one chooses to
believe and how one chooses to think and the passion on which one
acts on these beliefs. The flow of the energy into creation will be
experienced as what can best be described as feelings and the
actions of our physical body. Many of these feelings mind will label
as emotions. If you perceive something you feel as an emotional
response, you are well past the feeling and into the judgement and
interpretation of the mind.
How and were we focus our attention and awareness and what we do and
don’t do in the physical world in response to that focus is what
grounds this energy into actual physical experiences and
manifestation of what we desire to create. Our actions in the
physical world are the fruits of the essence of our being and how
and what we believe and think. They are a direct reflection of the
essence of our being and how we have learned, or not learned, to
manage the energy that animates our being. When we are capable of
flowing with the energy of a situation outside of the judgements and
opinions of mind as a
detached witness, there will be a calmness that occurs as the
energy is free to dissipate in the experience that it creates.
It has been observed in physical Creation that energy can neither be
created or destroyed, only transformed. Whether this principles is
true at every level of being can be debated. The premise here is
that is true and everything ultimately arose from a “no-thing-ness”
or “ a “no-form” into a physical observer and an observed physical
reality much the way
energy is converted to a particle and antiparticle.
Yet this “no-thing-ness”
is not really hard to understand. It is much like cutting a paper
heart out of a sheet of paper resulting in a hole that looks like a
heart and a paper heart. The sheet of paper is considered the
“no-thing-ness” since there is “no-thing” but a blank sheet of
paper. If we cut a paper heart out of the blank sheet of paper there
is now a paper heart and a hole. It took energy to cut the heart out
of the hole. If the heart is to move, then it will take additional
energy for the heart to move. But what is important here is that
heart arose out of a seemingly “no-thing-ness” and it is energy that
allowed it to happen.
The
implications of this idea of a cutout is quite profound in a
variety of ways. One is that if everything arises out of a
“no-thing-ness” what you can create becomes unlimited - as long as
you access the energy to create it. You can say there is a
possibility to manifested created forms (that is creating energy) ad
infinitum.
What provides the real twist to this phenomenon, and what has been
observed in physics, is that the energy that was needed to create
the hole and the paper cutout, the energy, is also which makes the
paper. The paper is only energy in the form of mass. So, in the end
all is energy. It is just in different forms of energy. The question
is, “How do you transform one form of energy into another?”
Creativity and our inherent creative power and creative ability is
about learning how to transform that energy from one form into
another.
This simple cutout example is what lies at the essence of how we
create our experiences and the reality of those experiences.
Creativity Physics is directed to help you to understand how this is
possible and how this simply process ultimately gets translated into
the world we see. What is called the
energy consciousness model was created for the
creativity perspective to bridge the concepts of energy and
consciousness to help you use what is discussed here in your
creative endeavors.
As you will come to see, meditation is one of the primary tools you
can use to gain this power of transformation of energy. However, it
is not the only way. One’s creative passion can be just as effective
if not more enjoyable and faster. Meditation through mindfulness and
awareness can be used to develop a
single point focus of one’s awareness and attention. Mindfulness
and awareness of our thoughts is the essential step in learning how
to transform the energy. Without the ability to hold a single point
focus of our attention and awareness we will be unable to access the
ability to consciously manage the energy within our being and the
energy of the universe. It must be remembered that many of the great
technological advances of science have only been made as a result of
a single point focus by the scientist and engineers how desire to
create something of which they never lost focus.
