On Carla's show Friday night she had made a statement about The All and The One.
This is a paraphrase so I stand to be corrected.
Just because we are the creator at work, does not mean that we can turn that around to mean that we are the Creator.
This addresses a theme I see taking place here in our community often.
She also spoke to the process of being which I often point to.
Again paraphrasing, she basically said that at any time the universe,(and in this context she means The All, not some omiverse or sub logos,) could be pulled out from under us and we would no longer be walking on a path where our feet choose to tread, but we are instead dancing according to the very specific energies of the Divine design which is not in our control.
So basically I interpret that to mean that we are not the Creator, and there are forces beyond our abilities which lord over us at all times.
I would alter that somewhat by saying that rather dancing on uncontrolled pathways/energies, we are balancing extreme Mystery to whatever degree we are able so that we are not existing in any extreme circumstance throughout the course of our existence.
Yes, the power of creation is not ours in the sense of the All and Divine Design, BUT balancing and surviving the extremity of such Mystery is our creation.
Perfect balance is impossible because we are NOT the Creator and do not have such power. But when we achieve a semblance of balance which manifests as an environment in which we are not subjected to extremity, then we become the creators of THAT semblance.
And THIS is what some here are referring to when they speak of illusion and perceptions.
However, such is not actual illusion. It is perception.
And perception is individual based upon the understanding and ability of that individual.
This does not create The All, it adds to the All as individual experience via the Divine Design, and the Process of Being. Both of which were established far beyond our capabilities.
This 'dancing around the Divine energies' that Carla has pointed us to, clearly reveals that she understands the true process as being one established long before the dancer which engages it.
There is The Composer which establishes the Sound/Song, and the elements which partake in the process of moving with the song, resulting in the memorial Dance.
Creator-Process-Creation
We simply cannot turn that around to imply that our participation as dancers creating the dance, somehow now makes us The Composer.
What are your thoughts on Carla's wisdom? I did not hear the entirety of the show and hope that I did not miss something that would reconfigure what I thought she was expressing.
