VISIONARY ART

Creative Process

Life is ever changing. That which is in tune with life is also ever changing. The living expression of change is creativity. This is what makes us human and this is what we have in common with God. When we get used to a life of fixed ideas and ingrained patterns, our creative energy ceases to flow and we lose touch with God. This is why ideology is so dangerous, no matter which you choose. Life is not a fixed idea. You cannot "know" it. You can experience it. You can live it. But you cannot hold it in your hand. Not only does the universe stretch so far outside that it is beyond comprehension, it stretches so far inside that it is beyond comprehension. There are no limits to life, so there are be no limits for the living. We are this! As we create, we make space for God and grow through self-discovery. Create, reflect, grow, create, reflect, grow.... This never ending unfolding becomes a flow of spirit that contains the missing link. You cannot know the "answer" because there is no "answer" to know. The goal is to be so in tune with life and to serve the higher principles of the universe so completely that it inspires those around you to do the same. This does not mean to have a set of rules. It means first and foremost to be true to yourself and respond to the situation brought to you through the inertia of time with awareness. Nobody else in the world can help because they cannot know what you are internally going through. Most can only see the external surface situation and offer comments based on their own preconceptions. Before you accept advice look at the life of who you are listening to because that is the path that their suggestion will lead you down. In the end only you know what is right for you. You must accept responsibility for this in order to be free. It all comes down to you. Nobody in the world is holding you back or doing anything to you that you don't allow. You must courageously stake everything for the truth, and in so doing you will know what it is to live. When living the truth, the whole universe comes to your aid. When fixed in misunderstanding we are isolated and cut off from the whole. Moving - life. Unmoving - death. We can either exist under our thoughts or over our thoughts. Under our thoughts we are limited as if in a dark closet. Everything we see is interpreted through "knowledge/past" and we can never see life as it is in the spontaneous present moment. Over our thoughts we can use our thoughts and assimilate all experiences while residing in boundless space beyond limitations. Our mind automatically learns and accesses information. Fluid thinking is most joyful, effective and efficient when done naturally in the area to which you feel inclined at any given moment with curiosity as the guide while letting go of mental habits such as judgment and addiction to rigid conceptions. The greatest hindrance to this process is obligation enforced through the illusion of authority. When you "memorize and parrot" or do something because it is the "right thing to do" your actions are meaningless. These are non-spontaneous and artificial repetitions done only for the pleasure of the deceived who are not willing to look at themselves because they have too much invested in their self-denial. That is why underdeveloped adults/overdeveloped adolescents imposing morality on our children has destroyed our society's peace and well-being. It is a consciously controlled violent act designed to elicit a robotic response that mirrors mass ideology and in no way increases individual human growth which is the sole measure for success in this world. Through accepting another's expectations we learn to see ourselves in a certain specific way and judge ourselves accordingly. "I" would never do that. "I" am not the kind of person who does this. "I" have never done it before, so I am not very good. When we stray from this we condemn ourselves and feel that we have no worth. This is not existentially true because you are alive, intrinsically important and accepted as you are in this showering universe. You have not done anything wrong. This is the meaning of forgiveness as a principle of the universe. No matter what it is ok. We are all making mistakes and learning here. Our limitations are self-imposed through internalizing and identifying with the external. Our love of self which becomes the joy that we share with the world gets undermined by the bad habit of judgment. The truth is that "YOU" can do anything, anytime anywhere! Dive in and experience everything totally in the present and only reality. Forget completely the opinions of others. Take back your scattered energy from the pain of the past and the worries of the future to become a fountain of human integration and wholeness. This is what is missing in the world. God is not in a book (in our heads). The living, loving God is in our hearts. This is not some pompous idea far removed for the world, but the intimate joy-spring that lies in our very pulse and breathing cycle. The Creator is "father". Creativity is the holy spirit/mother and the Creation is the universe and its children. By becoming Creator ourselves we are fulfilling the Great Creator's mission on Earth, bringing the inspiration message of Creativity "holy spirit" to the Creation "world of sons and daughters" who have yet to find their way back home and ascend to their destiny as Creator. In this manner we tune in to the higher realm and become the doorway which then manifests the eternal in the temporal for the transformation and uplifting of our fellow humans. This is art as a way of living. Through this ongoing process, we endlessly discover ourselves and our divine mission on Earth. In this we realize our fulfillment.
