The main issue relative to safety,
quality and satisfaction in life is that because of the experiences
we have early in life, we develop response patterns with to protect
our creative spirit with the mind of a child. Many of the patters we
develop to protect ourselves are based on our early life experience
either before we become consciously aware of what is happening or we
create a response based on a child’s understanding. This is itself
is not bad. It is just that the patterns we develop are not the most
effective at protecting our creative spirit and allowing it to
freely unfold.
Most of our early response pattens to life look to protect our
creative spirit to ensure its safety, health and satisfaction by
keeping it bound rather that to freely go out into the world. Many
of those response patterns protect the creative spirit by shutting
down, turning off, or keeping the creative spirit locked in a cage
that we create so that it is not hurt as it was in the past. The
logic is that if it is not exposed to things we think can harm it,
it is safe. But that is not true. Keeping the creative spirit
protected in such a way kills the spirit. Rather one must learn how
to confront and address the true hazard and yet allow the creative
spirit to freely unfold.
To understand how a creative state of being is necessary to create
safety, quality and/or satisfaction in life, one needs to understand
the creative spirit. This creative spirit has a tremendous desire
creatively play and to share. It desires to share what it has found
what it has found much the way a small child desires to share what
they find in their play and exploration. What it does share it share
unconditionally.
This spirit desires to give life and sustain life. If it can’t share
what it has found it will create the space for another to become
free and have life. It will create the space in hopes the other
becomes free and can experience what they have experienced and each
can freely share what is found. When this creative spirit cannot
share and/or create the space for another, it will feel lonely,
isolated and separated from the world and others around it. In
essence, it becomes divorced from its world and those around it.
Yet, it become divorced, separated, and lonely only because what it
is cannot be with another in the way it needs to be.
When it is able to share, a flow of energy occurs and this flow will
make one feel alive and bring life into their being. It is sharing
that ultimately makes life worth living and is the basis as to why
individuals say the Universe is created and creates out of love. It
is only in the flow of energy where one is free to share who and
what they are does one feel alive and creates a life worth living.
This is true for all aspects of our being in anything we do at home
or in the workplace.
What needs to be understood is the free unfoldment of this creative
spirit brings an acute awareness and alertness to whatever it
desires to create. It is not necessarily a conscious awareness but
an intuitive alertness and awareness to see things before they
happen. When this creative spirit is unable to freely flow, the
awareness and alertness about what it does is lost. How significant
this loss depends on the way in which this creative spirit is not
free to unfold.
In regards to safety, quality and satisfaction in life most of us
shut down aspects of our creative spirit to one degree or another as
we go through life. Since this spirit is life seeking, most of us
can usually access a sufficient amount of it to find a way to live
within the environment in which we find ourselves. As such, we
usually access a sufficient to flow of energy to animate our life to
keep it going to move us toward the experiences it desires to have.
In the process, we do a reasonable job at creating most of what we
want in our life. Although we face difficulty in life, usually we
can find a way to overcome them. Most of this we do subconsciously.
Few of us realize the mind that created our problem is not the mind
that gives us the solution. Our mind only knows the past and the
world that created the problem yet it thinks it solves our problem.
But the solution really arises from a subconscious synthesis of our
past and the energy we experience. So we never pay attention to this
spirit and when this spirit slowly starts to leave our life. We
never pay attention to the fact that aspects of our life never seem
to flow as they once did. We assume it is just part of life. We see
ourselves as getting bored or getting old and never realize it is
only because we have not learned to properly nurture our creative
spirit to keep it aware and awake to catalyze our life..
When something goes wrong in our life or in what we are doing, we
are taught to point to an external cause or circumstance as to the
cause. We are not trained how to look individually and collectively
at how we may be denying our creative spirit such that it is unaware
and not alert to the conditions that give rise to our problems. So
we keep directing our attention outward looking for something
causing our problem and never look inside. Nor do we give
consideration to the fact our creative spirit may be challenging us
to become more creative in our life because it is not available to
express itself. It does have child like qualities and when a child
doesn’t get it way, it can do quite dramatic things to get our
attention. Yet, in denying one or more aspects of this creative
spirit and not playing attention to our life and whether or not we
are being fulfilled we deny the awareness and alertness that will
forewarn us of dangers relative to what we are doing.
It doesn’t matter what we do if our creative spirit is freely
flowing in what we do, there will be an awareness and alertness and
we will preform substantially better than if our creative spirit
withdraws. This is a very important point. It doesn’t really matter
what we desire to create. The creative spirit is a relatively loyal
and complying servant up to a point. If our creative spirit is
allowed to freely unfold into what we do, there will be a creative
power, perfection and quality in what we do. The point to which we
refer is the cause of the flow of energy which you tap into to
create what you desire. There is a reason or purpose for you being
here and in life. You creative spirit will always try and pull you
toward that purpose and work to keep you alive to fulfill that
purpose.
If we attempt to create only because our mind wants us to act and
this creative spirit is not engaged and/or the creative spirit is
not free to move into that creative effort because of the way it
needs to protect itself, we will faced unnecessary difficulties for
we rob ourselves of the awareness that is possible to preserve
and/or give life. In dong so, we open the door for misfortune to
occur. Of course our creative spirit is not necessarily responsible
for creating everything that happens to us. But we do agree to
participate in all that happens to us at some level of our being.
There is nothing that one can imagine that this creative spirit
cannot help us to avoid and/or make much more pleasurable if it
effectively allowed to create in the way it needs to create.
So, whether individually or collectively, relative to creating
safety, as quality, efficiency, or high morale in one’s life or in
the workplace we are manifesting a creation just like anything else
we would create. They do not necessarily come naturally. They needs
to be created. We have to choose to create and set the intention to
create them and hold focus on that creative effort as we would any
other creation. If we do not choose to create them directly, we must
at least set the intention to do what we do in a safe and quality
efficient fashion.

whatever we intend (Top)
From a creativity perspective, at
any given moment, you have a fixed amount of creative energy flowing
within your being to create. It is much greater than you think it
is. It doesn’t matter if that energy goes into safe actions or
unsafe actions, quality or non quality action. The energy will flow
as directed. The question is “Does the energy we have go into what
we desire to create because our creative spirit is fully engaged and
aligned with what we do or is the energy split, scattered or some
how diverted or not free to flow into what we desire? The portion of
our creative energy that does not flow into what we consciously
choose to create will flow subconsciously to create experiences we
do not desire or maybe rather not have..
If our creative spirit does not go freely and fully in what we do,
it means it is going into some other creative endeavor held in our
subconscious and our energy is split. For example, when you do an
activity joyously and you want to do it, you think nothing of the
effort to do it the best you can no matter what it takes. What you
do flows from within your being and what you do comes naturally.
However, if you do the task because you are forced to do it in some
way by either an internal or external authority, there is great
effort to do it the right way. It takes a much great attention and
awareness to do it right than it takes when you want to do it and
find it enjoyable. In fact, you can often feel as though you are
robbing yourself of your life and may even feel as if a part of you
is dying or being killed to do what is being asked. Metaphorically
and sometimes even literally, it is true. You are in effect stealing
your energy from what gives you life. Yet you have the same energy
flowing through you in each case. In one case it flows naturally. In
the other, you are forcing it to go in a direction your mind wants
it to go against its natural flow.
This point brings up one aspect of habits that needs to be
understood. Habits are used to direct the creative spirit where mind
wants it to go without mind having to pay attention. Habit is
neither good nor bad. It is just a tool available to mind when mind
does not desire to be consciously involved. Habits just take the
thinking out of the process of living and doing. However, before we
know it, our habits can rob us of much of our creative power such
that we no longer have the energy to create what our creative spirit
desires to create.
The important point to realize here is that when you first do an
activity that forces you against the natural flow of your creative
life energy, there is a level of discomfort that you will
experience. That discomfort is telling you that you are moving
against the natural flow. By the time you have formed a habit, you
also numb the discomfort and no longer feel it. The habit takes
over. However, that does not mean the mismatch between where the
habit is directing your creative life energy and its nature flow is
gone. It still exists and you will continue to fund this mismatch
robbing you of your creative life energy to create the life your
creative spirit desires to live for as long as the habit remains.
Often we create life situations that become too unpleasant in one
way or another to continue to live with the habit and we are forced
to change our habit.
The issue is not to become more energetic or more enthusiastic. You
already have all that you will need in regards to energy. It is just
not applied to what you do because your “heart,” the source and full
flow of your creative power, is not in what you do. That is, what
you do is not in alignment with the natural flow of energy inherent
within our nature. Your creative spirit is not fully engaged
