Implementing Creative Step/Guideline #8

Creative Step/Guideline #8

Background

Open yourself to be remolded

The doorway to your creative power and creative ability

Creative Step/Guideline #8 (Top) : As a result of this inventory, open yourself and ask to have this Creative Power as you understand it to remold and recast your character. Allow yourself to transform what you think are shortcomings and obstacles by looking to see how they have been an asset in accessing and releasing your unlimited creativity while doing what you need to do to manifest your intention.

Background (Top)

This step is about action and acting on what you have learned in Steps/Guidelines #6 and #7. It is about recycling what serves your creative needs, remolding what doesn’t and making room for the new. Without some space for a new creation to occur, nothing can come into your life. Here again, it is not about doing anything this Creative Power directs. Similarly is not about doing something to gain the favor of this Creative Power. It is about learning to trust and use the creative process and allow what you set in motion to unfold.

We ask this Creative Power to remold and recast our character because mind cannot give us what we need. If it could, it would have already done so. Mind is what keeps our creativity bound, not the external Creative Power. We have to look beyond mind. We have to trust this Creative Power sufficiently to step out of mind. Here is where you need to do what you need to do to access the protection of this Creative Power as you understand it. You are already in the care of this Creative Power and it is sustaining your life either directly or indirectly by suppling what you need to live which comes from the external world. However, you need to trust it sufficiently to step out of your mind to be transformed. Here you need to write your pray, do your invocations, do the rituals that allow you to step out of mind and access this Power and know you are protected. Here you cannot be foolish. You are already protected. It is taking care of you. I is just your mind has judgement and expectations as to what you think this protection should look like. You will still suffer what you think in means to be human. It is your mind that needs to be destroyed such that you can flow with the intention behind your life that is in complete agreement with whatever you think this Creative Power is.

As a result of this inventory, open yourself and ask to have this Creative Power as you understand it to remold and recast your character.

When you explore the root of why you step outside the flow of energy needed to manifest your desired creation, you will find many shortcoming, obstacles and the like that you tell yourself are the cause of your problems. However, more often than not, they are only the catalyst that gives rise to what we need to face to create what we desire. They are only an illusion created from your mind to keep you from undergoing the necessary changes to manifest what you desire. You need to choose to recreate yourself in a way that your perceived liabilities or obstacles become the assets that they are for they bring you to the awareness of what you need to do. Often this requires you to stand back and take a different perspective about your life and what you are attempting to create.

Allow yourself to transform what you think are shortcomings and obstacles by looking to see how they have been an asset in accessing and releasing your unlimited creativity while doing what you need to do to manifest your intention.

We don’t become creative when we are satisfied. There needs to be some level of dissatisfaction before one moves to create something new. It is most often our shortcoming and obstacles that become the door way and catalyze us to change what we experience. From a creativity perspective, they are assets. It is only when we step beyond our personal likes and dislikes and the judgements we hold do we begin to see the beauty in what we do not like about ourselves and others. It is not about being optimistic or looking on the “bright side” or “good side” of something. It is about seeing what really provides the motivation in our lives to become creative and learn to be thankful for them. More importantly, it is to come to realize we don’t need pain and suffering to catalyze our creativity. We can learn to realize when we are not being served long before it becomes painful.

Identify what you think are your defects and shortcomings. In a playful way, look to see if you can create a scenario where what you think are weaknesses could be seen as strengths and what you think are strengths could be seen as weaknesses. With one or more willing partners, create a way to act out symbolically, or literally, these reverse views.

Ask both the inner and outer aspects of this Creative Power, as you understand it, to transform the old ways. For the inner aspect of your Creative Power, write out something like a permission slip giving yourself permission and authorization to create what you desire. Ask the outer by asking an individual of your choice to be a representative of the outer aspect of the Creative Power and to assist you in your creative efforts by hearing/witnessing you give yourself permission to do what you need to do without judgment as you honor your intuitive guidance. Ask your intuitive guidance “What do I need to do to transform or start transforming my shortcoming into strengths?”
