Day 18 - The Creativity of Oneness

This is going to be my stream of consciousness as required for this exercise. (written on 10-13-11)

Who am I? What am I to create? I have so many things going on. I love the activity. It frightens me when things are at a standstill. I enjoy watching people, I love watching weather, and my son. I can watch him (except when he’s only playing video games). I’m a watcher, but I’m so much more. I’m meant to guide. I’m meant to heal and I’m meant to protect. I met a person who wants to make the community grow. I want that too. I know that that is something that needs to happen, but I’m never sure who is supposed to do it, if it really is to be just one person. Perhaps it is meant to be more than one. We have such an ecclectic community, I’m not sure we would ever agree on anything. But I think that was where I went wrong with FHP. I wanted it to be organized. It was my baby. CCP was called my baby, but it’s not, at least not the same way. I am here to protect, to aid, to service, to teach and to learn. Not to lead. They can come to me for advice, but not the leader. (Although once again, the best leaders are those who do not want to be. I’m not sure if that will play into things or not.) I enjoy being in charge. Isn’t that weird, I thrive on the credit and the stuff but i can’t make it happen. I failed FHP. Not sure how or why or if it was just the witch war, but it was there. It changed everything. It changed me. Perhaps that is the reason I have not gotten the paperwork on FHP back from those that borrowed it for an article. I need to release that. I enjoy being in charge too much. Is it because I was always a follower, not by choice, but because no one followed me? But I’m so much more than that now, but I must release the past. I must release the things that defined me before because that is not who I am now. No matter that FHP didn’t work, I touched lives. Why is that so important to me? I just don’t know what I want or need. I need a nod of acknowledgement. Maybe not credit but to be accepted.

Am I evil or good? Both, likely. I have dark thoughts and I have light thoughts. I was in a group and I was seen as dark because of my lack of Christian beliefs. I lean towards hindu with my beliefs and with my yoga now. I love how my yoga has changed my life. How a vision quest helped me find myself again. My hands hurt. LOL I guess I don’t type this much anymore since I’m coding and not typing.

The truth about me, there is no truth. There is no blue pill or red pill. I define me and if I don’t like something, I change it. I have full power over myself. This is real.

The Creativity of Oneness

“I want creation to penetrate you with so much admiration that wherever you go, the least plant may bring you the clear remembrance of the Creator.”
— St. Basil the Great

“God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things.”
— Pablo Picasso

“You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become.”
— Osho

Exercise

The creativity of Oneness is constantly calling to you. Now is the time to answer the call and open yourself to the boundless inspiration available to you. When you hear the Divine knocking, fling the door wide open and invite your own particular genius inside. When you do so, you become receptive to the creativity of Oneness. You’re filled with wisdom and enthusiasm that is deeply and intricately connected to your well-being and to the well-being of the world. This inspiration is sourced in the Divine Idea of goodness for all. The creativity of Oneness taps into the collective Soul and delivers to your doorstep a notion of life that surpasses your wildest dreams. Your creativity fans the flame of Oneness; this is the Divine spark that connects you to the Source of all life.

Today, notice which Divine Ideas catch your attention and intention. What do you want to create? Do you feel pulled toward something? What fascinates you or whets your appetite? If you were to stop conforming to someone else’s idea of creativity, how would you express your own unique brilliance? Would you dance, paint, cook, sing, garden, act, draw, write, dress up, decorate, orchestrate, or design? Trust the Divine impulse that moves you to express and contribute. Have faith and act. As the wave of creativity rises and swells within, catch it and ride it in! This is the creativity of Oneness at work in you.

As you increase your willingness and ability to receive, conceive, and act on Divine inspiration, you open the channel for more to flow through. Divine inspiration for all aspects of your life will become easily accessible to you. Have the courage to create today! Make it contagious. Invite others to join you, uniting in the creativity of Oneness.

Take out a pen and paper. Set your watch or a timer for seven to ten minutes, and begin to write in a stream-of-consciousness style, allowing the words to flow uninterrupted onto the page. In other words, don’t stop or edit. Don’t think. Just go with whatever naturally arises. You may write the phrase This is so stupid! 30 times before something fresh comes forth. Trust the process and go. Create!

To get your engine purring and the words flowing, here are several jump-start phrases. Pick one of the following and jot it down on the top of a blank piece of paper or in your journal. Then start writing! Whenever you feel blocked or want to dive deeper, rewrite the phrase and continue to let your thoughts flow freely. Have fun!
