Intentional Creators

                                                     

            In our quest to follow Christ we are riveted to the accounts of His earthly ministry. We glean everything we can from the ever multiplying records in our attempt to have a better grasp on who the Lord is and was, and how we can get closer to Him. And rightly so...

            But Christ and the Elohim are Cosmic beings, unlimited to a single creation or probation. Beings that not only command the elements and inhabitants of the Earth, but hold in the palms of their hands the pulsating heart of the Universe. They understand the Universal Laws that govern ALL existence here and elsewhere, which transcend what is available to us on tablets of stone or brass.

            Getting a glimpse into what those Laws might be is perhaps advisory for anyone striving to follow the Savior and become like Him.

            One such law is the Law of Cause and Effect, taught in the parable of the sower. It can be summed up simply as follows: we reap what we sow.

            We set our intent at Sovereignty and Agency. We desire to not be acted upon, but to act. However, what we overlook at times is our own capacity to create, as well as the origins and nature of the creation process. 

Thought creates.

Emotion creates.

Belief, Trust, Expectation create.

            Picture a single woman driving by herself across the country. As she’s making the trek, she recalls that the undercarriage on her Honda Fit has been recently fastened to the bottom of the vehicle, but the quality of the work performed is somewhat questionable. The woman’s roadside skills have not been the focus of her life and she recognizes her ineptness when it comes to “in-the-middle-of-nowhere” vehicle resuscitation . For a split second fear enters on the stage of her mind and is quickly dismissed to go where it came from. Imagine this maiden’s utter bewilderment, when twenty miles down the road the car starts producing a noise akin to all of its internal parts being out of commission. As the gal pulls over, she discovers that all is well…except, of course, for the undercarriage hanging by a thread…:)

            Consider another example. A certain man has a dream of building a structure on his property that he knows will benefit his family and community. The funding of such a project is what one would telestially call “a pipe dream”, as this man’s primary responsibility is to provide for the needs of his family, like it is for most people. But he holds fast to his Vision, unsure of how exactly his dream can make amends with the finances and sign a peace treaty. He TRUSTS that things will work out. And in time, they do, precisely because of his riveted Intention and Faith, that defy all of “this world” accounting and rationale.

            Both examples illustrate this Universal Law at work. Although in both instances it is easy and tempting “to write them off” as coincidence, a strike of luck…or, as in the example of a nomadic woman, a hilarious misfortune…

            The reality of our capacity to create evades us,  eludes our understanding, awareness and perception. We have not been taught about it in books or scripture. And truthfully it can’t be taught, only recognized, recollected, acknowledged…

            Taking responsibility for our creation is effortless, if we enjoy our life and circumstances. But to admit that we could possibly have anything to do with our life’s challenges and adversities is nothing short of preposterous!!! That takes a LOT of introspection, humility and …courage. Finding a pile of dirty laundry in our bedroom closet, we want to jump to the conclusion that someone else must own this mess! WE  like clean clothes, not dirty ones, hung up or put away into drawers. And  WHO in their right mind would create something they DON’T want, anyway ?!?!?

            The rule of thumb in the creation process is that one needs to be completely unattached to the outcome for it to become a reality. And, since it is a lot easier for us to be unattached to negative outcomes, they are a lot easier for us to create!!! All it takes is a thought-emotion concoction and a belief in its possibility. The longer we entertain the thought, the stronger the emotion, the more powerful the creation.

            At times, as masochistic as this might seem,  we feel a sense of satisfaction when something  unfortunate we “knew all along” would happen, does. Our ego is flattered in its capacity to “predict”, to be right, to know the future “all along”…Indeed , how could we NOT know, if we created it…

            On the opposite side of this spectrum are the things we desire. Yet desire in its purest form, also often goes around unrecognized, undiscerned. Desire remains anonymous to our awareness and is sometimes mistaken for its surface counterfeits: want or need. We can identify our wants and needs without hesitation. And because of this ease of recognition we are extremely vested, attached to their outcome. Ironically this condition produces the opposite effect and that which we want is repelled, moved further away from us…

            All emotion has either a negative or positive charge. Vibrate fear, chaos, lack, indignation, disappointment, duality and the Universe will deliver. And more reasons and circumstances for you to experience all of the above will emerge out of thin air. Vibrate solutions, rather than the problems, what you truly desire, not what you perceive you have or want,vibrate Gratitude, Joy, Harmony and, as if by magic, that too will emerge from the ether!!! 

            Whatever we vibrate creates a quantum field that acts like a magnet, attracting into our lives events, people or circumstances that resonate with our wavelength. We are not surprised when this exact phenomenon is witnessed in the physical, also governed by a set of laws…

            Truthfully, most of our emotions, our fears, worries, concerns fly under the radar.  We don’t recognize their destructive power and underestimate the true and immediate impact they have on our day to day experience.

            However, their reality is often palpable to us. We sense them on a spiritual level, as gut feelings and sometimes misinterpret them to be spiritual promptings or warnings, unsure of what else to call them…We know that something wrong is about to happen or will occur in the near future. And then it does, because we have no doubt it will! We, sensing our own negative vibration, more easily identifiable because of its heaviness, project it into life. And feel grateful for what we thought was a “warning”.

            We are accustomed to believe that something or someone outside of ourselves creates our life’s roadmap and terrain. That we are victims of what is. “It is what it is”, we say. And throw our arms in the air, feeling powerless in undesirable situations that WE have created, consciously or not, and that can also be recreated, mended and amended with proper intent and absence of expectation.

            It is true that each has Agency and power to create what one desires . We can’t violate another’s creation. But if our creation is more compelling and in alignment with the greater Good and Purpose for ALL , we too can’t help but see miraculous results!!! 

            Creation and miracles are not reserved for the exalted, the ascended and in other ways superior. They are RIGHT HERE, at our fingertips, waiting to be tapped into and intentionally utilized!!! What we do with that… is a personal choice. Nothing less. Nothing more…

            To some the above essay might appear as nonsensical or simplistic. The intent here is not to explain away the proverbial reason for “why bad things happen to good people?”Nor is it to oversimplify the multiple factors that come into play, such as karmic cycles, premortal contracts and divinely appointed missions, that all add to our multilevel evolution and creation, and are rarely challenge-free.

            But until we realize that we have the power to create what we truly desire by cultivating within ourselves the thoughts and emotions which only WE have the ability to control , we will continue running the treadmill of unconscious creating…All the while, unbeknownst to ourselves, being the only ones in charge of the universal “exercise equipment”. We will run faster than we have strength, exhausted and out of breath, or passively wait for this runway to finally speed up for us to start seeing visible in the physical results. And miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to become INTENTIONAL Creators!
