A third reason for meditating is that if we are beings of infinite creativity and if we look a little deeper, beings of infinite consciousness. We create our experiences and the reality of those experiences by how we focus our attention and awareness. The more directed or concentrated the focus of our attention and awareness the more energy we can put into that on which we focus. The more energy we put in, the greater the probability we will manifest an experience of what we desire.

If our attention is scattered and fragmented moving from thing to thing, we will be unable to create to create what we desire and we will have little to show for our efforts. Without a conscious focused attention and awareness and mindfulness, we will continually live in the past. We will respond to our life experiences rather than proactively creating them.

This third reason to meditate from a creativity perspective is to become mindful and aware to develop the ability to have a single point focus to our life. A single point focus coupled with a strong emotional desire or passion for what we hold with clear intention allows us to create an experience of what we desire or to access or be lead to any information about any subject matter or topic.

If you look carefully, what you can observe is that the smaller the thing on which you focus your attention the greater your insecurity will be. You will be constantly worrying about something. The reason for this is something small is always subject to being over shadowed by something larger. So, if your attention is always on something being overshadowed or potentially being overshadowed, how can you be or feel secure? For example, if you live your life to satisfy the people in your life, you will have to be constantly having to change what you worry about. There will always be someone new who comes into your life or someone from the past how reenters your life whose opinion or concern is more important than the last important person.

However, if you seek to create something long term that transcends any one event in your life you become much less troubled. For example, if your focus and passion is creating a nonprofit foundation, a new career, a new ability of some type, all your relationships can be viewed from creating that long term objective. You can then look to see whether or not any one individual relationship is helping you or hindering what you desire to create. Usually you will not be troubled by their comments and concerns that do not support what you desire to create unless they somehow interfere with what you desire to create. The awareness of this fact and using this approach gives an enormous stability in your life.

By meditating and focusing on the nature of the thoughts we have as a detached witness, we can begin to see how scattered and fragmented our attention is. We can begin to see what is taking our attention and where they are, or are not, taking us and directing our life. Then, in that awareness, we can begin to redirect our thoughts into what we desire to create. In time we can being to see that we are a beings of unlimited creativity that has created a puzzle to both challenge our creativity and to cause us to forget how we created the experience we have. We need to forget  how we create what we do so we can experience the reality of our creation. If we remembered how we created the experience we would tend not stay with the experience but change it whenever we encountered something we did not like.

We create our experiences by how we focus our attention and awareness. Unless we learn to make our lives a single point focus for what we desire to create, we will never learn nor have the creative power to create the experiences we desire. In using meditation in this fashion, one does not sit and hold a thought or image in their mind although that is an accept way. Rather one makes each decision in their life and movement in their life directed toward what they want to create. Or, at least become aware of where we are not choosing in the direction of what we desire and why.
