I will admit that like my spiritual journey, my journey through the creative has been studied, considered, and lived for many decades now. I have pondered long the nature of creativity and I have been a careful firsthand observer of it. Over the years I have had pieces of the puzzle, I knew deep down that there was a way to help make creativity FLOW instead of merely flash for a few short seconds.
When I awoke many new pieces of the puzzle came into view. When the bliss field emerged as a part of my experience more as a steady state experience I realized that what we call the human orgasm is part of a larger spectrum of bliss energy that is wildly creative and that once we awaken and can properly ride this bliss wave without falling off of it or needing to bleed it away through sexual union (this doesn’t happen in awakening, but that is itself another blog entry), this same baseline energy can be used in the same way that the flow of energy in a river is used as long as the water flows. What I am saying is that in awakening energy that is orgasmic in nature flows through every corner of your being, the proverbial genie in the bottle being released and bathing the entire body in the rich nourishing flow of what the Hindus call prana. It is the very locus of ecstasy, of expansive states of consciousness, of the very essence of self transformation and of intense, wild and wonderful creativity. Its just that in our unawakened experience that we only see this high level energy as expressed through the orgasm as being the only way to experience such high levels of energy, that we can become biased as to what is or is not possible. When you awaken, you can open up the floodgates to inspiration. Ask anyone who has gone through this experience. I know people who began writing music, writing poetry, designing clothing, artwork, etc. In my case it fueled a whole new direction for my business which was a hot glass production studio. I wrote short stories, children stories, music, poetry, and began a journal that turned into a book several hundred pages later. It has also helped to illuminate the nature of creativity as being essentially an intimate encounter with the two “opposite” forces within the body, within the self and soul that we call yin and yang.
The elusiveness of the creative state is really not elusive at all once you understand how it works. We have allowed ourselves to become alienated from a fundamental instinct or way of being that is native to who and what we are. We are operating with only half engines on full. We can in truth live in a constant state of inspiration as the next dimension of experience unfolds in experience. There is a way for the creative to flow unhindered. It involves the two seemingly opposite aspects of your being reaching unity within you. When these two forces come together, some very interesting thing happen. I have experienced ongoing creative energy flow continuously for years at a time. The nature of creativity means every corner of human endeavor is littered with creativity. Its not that art is the place where we feel creative, it is that human experience rich and rewarding moments of creativity in every single facet of experience. We ARE creativity. It is in our blood bones and nervous system and souls.
When you understand the nature of creativity, it becomes much easier. To learn more about this, read about it in my upcoming book Waking The Infinite.
In it, I go into the relationship that both the yin and yang energies have as purely etheric and nonphysical manifestations of cosmic consciousness and how the physical body then is designed to be a perfect biological mechanism for the expression and conveyance of that energy physically. I also explain how the etheric or pranic current moves through the body and how it intersects with the nervous system, informs it, modifies and enriches it once kundalini is awakened in a more or less conscious way. I also show how the two brains that we possess themselves are mirrors of this cosmic couple and how we can in a very practical way, learn how to marry them in order to discover that moment when the two explode in that moment of genesis, the moment of inspiration. I further explain that it is possible to actually LIVE in a constant state of inspiration and what effects or benefits that this has. This is nothing short of learning how to ride a wave of bliss and wonder that these two energetic currents create when the consciousness of the individual is able to focus the energy in the arena of the conscious self. Learning this is about learning the correct type of balance of feeling necessary to generate the physical chemistry needed to support the etheric or nonphysical state that those who are interested in awakenings seek to do for themselves and for the race as a whole.
These energies are all around us all the time. They have always been and shall always be. In awakening we make a lot about how we awakened, that the energy “rose” in us. What “rose” in truth, was our own awareness of a universe that was, right out of the gate of creation, awake and aware with this vibrant boundless energy. The truth is, it has the power to change your life tremendously and for the better if you are engaged enough to recognize what it is that seems to stand in the way of your realizing this state.
So creativity will play a role in the book simply because as an artist I recognize that the power of awakening is the same power as the flash of inspiration. The sad thing is that those (including myself who am a visual artist) in the arts call it the " flash" instead of the steady state flow or the dwelling place or something else that would suggest that the experience is continuous. What do you think the flash of inspiration stretched out into a daily experience would feel like? How do you think such an experience would change your world? (the answer, at least for me, is "radically") The fact remains, it just isn’t. We still are beings that find this part of our experience to be something of a mystery. It need not be. By learning how to turn this faucet on you can learn how to bring fulfillment in your own life as well as inviting in the force that can dismantle lifetimes of dysfunction and trauma and hurt from your light body. And if you didn’t know already, the light body records ever single thing that ever happens to you, at least of an energetic and emotional nature. We are fast realizing that while the brain may be the locus of recording memories, it may in fact be more of a biological switching system for nonlocal as well as locally recorded or imprinted experiences which we call memories. The realization is fast upon us, though, that the body itself records past emotional impacts, and by learning how to erase those impacts from our energy memory, we actually free up the energy system of the physical and etheric bodies to operate in a way that is far more optimal, efficient, healthy, and clear. When awakening hits most people, they are bowled over by the experience and are in wonderment over the power of the experience. And yet, in time, people who learn how to move through their awakenings in a successful and fulfilling way find that this same intensity is itself more a steady-state experience that is the new way of being for humans. What is on offer for us is a truly incredible way to be and to feel every moment of the day. To get there is the “work” that so many talk about, which in truth is merely a surrender of those patterns, beliefs, and old feelings that stand in the way of a clearer flow of the cosmic in your seemingly tiny frame here on Gaia…..which is herself a speck in a sea of specks. And yet, even on the micro-scale, the atomic scale, everything still vibrates with knowing. This knowing may be beyond science at the moment, but everything in our world is alive. It may not be what science call sentient life, but it is certainly what the ancients observed is part of a universe that lives and breaths in its own way. When you consider that energy is conscious, the whole universe, bound together by energetic forces (an atom is mostly energy, not matter), then you can perhaps begin to appreciate the impact that this has.
