I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from Chapter Six and the section on art, making and viewing it:
Art-Making And Viewing It
The spiritual principle behind the creative process is that each entity is the Creator. Each entity has the innate ability to create things that never were and to think thoughts that have never been thought. Each entity upon Planet Earth in third density is equipped with all of the tools and resources for creativity. Q’uo, April 26, 2008
In this statement Q’uo made an observation that relates to each of us being the Creator and, therefore, each of us theoretically has an “innate ability to create things that never were and to think thoughts that have never been thought.” Of course, we all do this without thinking about it as we go through our days creating our thoughts and actions directed toward completing another daily round of activities. But Q’uo is talking about more than just how we live our lives as being a creative activity. They are talking about the creative impulse of the artist that lives in each of us. However, very few of us express that creativity as a writer, dancer, poet, painter, musician, or sculptor because of the limitations imposed upon us by our culture as Q’uo continued in the following quote:
The challenge of being creative is to retain or produce a way of seeing and perceiving that is original to the Creator. Your culture does not encourage original thought. Your culture does not encourage inner-directed behavior and attitudes. Your culture has a consensus reality which is endlessly materialistic. It is as though, with a sea all around you, your culture stands upon a tiny island and says, “This is the world. Do not go to the sea. Do not dive deep in unknown waters. Here in this garden where there is food to eat and work to do, live your life. Question nothing, accept authority, and make no waves. Do not paddle at the shores of the unknown.” Q’uo, April 26, 2008
Here Q’uo used the analogy of our consensus reality, which seems to focus mostly on materialism and living by the rules that constrict originality, as being the equivalent of living on a small island and being warned not to leave it. This is the way that we are told to behave in order to survive. We are told: “Do not go into the unknown deeps of the water surrounding the tiny island of thought.” If we lived by such a narrow-minded view of life we would not have a chance to exercise the creativity that exists in some degree in all of us. We would be reduced to the ordinary gameboard of life. Q’uo extended their analogy in the quote below:
The culture and its consensus reality, in our point of view, is the illusion and the water, the reality. The creation of the small island is the pulling together of some gross physical matter upon which to stand and it is built by fear. Q’uo, April 26, 2008
Fear of the unknown around us and especially within us is probably the greatest restrictive force that we will ever know. It is a great challenge to overcome that fear by moving beyond its paralyzing power, but in some regards this is the challenge for all of us as we live our daily lives and, more especially, as we seek to become conscious seekers of truth and to seek that nature of the Creator that lies beyond our current experience. Q’uo continued to extrapolate from this basic thought in their next quote:
The left brain has to do with living on the island and making good use of time within the box and the right brain then goes begging and does not have its needs fulfilled. It is not exercised. It lies dormant. Art, therefore, can take one out upon the water and lift that dormancy into activity. And suddenly the right brain is working. It feels very good. It makes the attendee or the appreciator of art feel as though he is also creative. It is contagious.
Looked at another way, an artist could be described as an entity who is able to compress the vastness of human experience into an offering small enough to view as a whole. In this compression into image, metaphor, melody and so forth comes an intensification of power, so that an artist may punch through fear and bring the attendee or the audience into a place of freedom or love.
. . .
That creative impulse dwells within all. It is part of being part of the Creator. Each entity is a sub-creator. Each entity has magical ability. Each entity through faith and will can change his world. Q’uo, April 26, 2008
Then Q’uo recommended a solution to this dilemma for anyone who wants to escape the limiting boundaries of the small island: a shift from the left brain of consensus reality to the right brain of diving into the infinite depths of the waters of creative human potential. Therein lie the joy, the power, the freedom and the magic of becoming a co-Creator in whatever way feels best to you. You don’t even have to stay within the arts as usually defined as painting, sculpture, dancing, acting, writing, etc. You can be an inspiring artist of gardening, cooking, building things out of wood, speaking on topics of interest and inspiration, raising children, facilitating meetings, having fun with friends, and on and on and on. Here Q’uo gives us the spiritual benefits of our abilities as artists and creators:
However, it is interesting to look into the nature of how creativity works within a life experience. The same creative wind blows for all and on that wind lie melodies, themes, motifs and other avenues of intelligent expression of the fire of spirit. The energies of suffering and learning catch the facets of personality uniquely for each unique entity. And as an entity awakens within incarnation to the truth and beauty of its own being, possibilities open up in this and that way, unique to each entity. One entity may express creativity by growing a family and helping the young souls within that family to flower. Another entity may hear the call of a certain kind of expression of devotion and become a guardian of truth, an upholder of justice, or an agent of the healing power of human love. All professions call with the song of the muse to those entities whose personalities are shaped so that those structures hold their passion and give them avenues of expression. Every artist catches the wind of spirit and finds ways to draw images that catch the light and share the vision. Every musician hears those melodies that are drifting from angelic essences embedded within the inner planes and responsive to the winds of the times and the energies of the generation now alive. And so it is with those who see the value of shape and ratio and wish to create places for the heart and the spirit to thrive. Q’uo, April 3, 2005.
Thusly can we can become Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life if we can reach into our subconscious mind using meditation, contemplation, prayer, intuition or whatever way feels best and connect with our unique way of living and being creative on our spiritual journeys and then reflect this artistic ability in our daily lives as well.
This morning I got the first floor of the house vacuumed before Gary, Austin, and I were on a Zoom meet with a Law of One study group based in India. They have about 300 members, but only 10 or 12 were asking us some very interesting questions. They were a lively and dedicated group of seekers of truth, and we all enjoyed each other’s company.
This afternoon I went outside and gathered another twenty square feet of moss from beside the Flower Fall in the front yard and got it transplanted in the Moss Garden in the back yard. This project is taking more moss than I had first thought it would, and I am hopeful that I have enough left beside the Flower Fall to complete the job.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
February 24
The Calm Beneath The Storm
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the consolation of the perfect consciousness of divine love.
Oh, perfect consciousness: as simple as the blue sky and as steady as the steadiest rudder upon a calm sea! This consciousness of love permeates all. Yet how quickly it is lost to the human heart, to the eye, and to the ear that cannot see the calm beneath the storm of mundane, personal events.
This is your sky. This is your rudder. In your faith, say to the events of the day, “Peace, be still.” And in the fleeting moments that follow, feel the constancy of the love that remains always as it always has been and as it always shall be: creative, joyful and merry, leaving blossoms and wonders as a flower leaves behind a scent.
The day may be full. Your difficulties may well be many. But recall in faith the underlying peace that is not of your mundane experience but of the consciousness within. In faith you experience eternity within.
We leave you in this peace, this healing, and this love, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
