Co-Creating With God - Natures of Creations

Written by Adrian Newington

THE VARIOUS NATURES OF CREATIONS:

Some creations are abstract such as Music. You do not have the creation totally at your disposal as you do with a painting. To experience music you have to add the dimension of time, and it is the soul which takes in the quality of the creation. When you look at a painting, you have the entire concept delivered to you at once. Though we are able to study it in detail later on, when we first look at a picture, we know exactly what it is all about. Once again our soul takes in the quality of the creation but this time, it has a physical manifestation of canvas and paint. Books are like songs since they unfold and tell us a story, but it's complexity is increased since a book is complete and fully available to us, yet we need to take time to read it through.

When a musical instrument is played live, each instant that passes is pure newness. There is nothing of what was or what of is to come as in the case of a book. The creation is fully enjoyed by being in "THE NOW". When people share a meal together, they partake in the unfolding of the efforts and talents of the person who created the meal. Here it is our body that enjoys the creation. It is tangible, and we needed time to enjoy it. If the meal was a romantic dinner for two, then an added feeling of contentment at the soul level

Creations can take any form by being Abstract or Physical, and the enjoyment can also be Abstract or Physical. To lead an inspirational life is Abstract in the giving and receiving, as seeds of creativity are laid everywhere you go. By developing your own Love, you are then able to give a gift so precious, that it far surpasses the greatest creation that has ever taken a form in the physical. When we create a life of Love for another by our own example, we create freedom and peace for other people. To be able to create happiness for someone who is sad is a great thing. To be able to teach someone how to create a good life for themselves is a wonderful thing. When one shares their new knowledge for the good of others so they are able to pass this ability on, it then demonstrates how thoughts themselves are tremendous creations.

Any talk of creations and creating is not complete without the mention of bringing children into the world. Of all the greatness that exists in the previously mentioned examples, to bring a child into your life and nurture it with Love and caring, is in my mind an incredible achievement for any individual. To remember that children are but clay in the hands of the potter, we then find ourselves with an awesome ability to mould children into any shape at all. When we employ the design based on Love and also add our own way of Loving in this moulding process, we know we are part of the creation process of A LIFE. It is a life modelled in Love which allows our own Love to continue even after our time here has passed. By devoting our efforts to raising a child in Love, we give a gift to the world... we have created a Life from the Goodness of Life for the Glory of Life.

CREATIVITY AND "THE NOW":

Through understanding the value of expressing your creativity, it is clear that the goodness you give, shall come back to you in goodness from other things. But to be efficiently creative on a regular basis, we need to return to the concept of "THE NOW". Your creativity can only exist in the present, and when we dwell on past or future events to much, we have in essence missed a lovely visitor who came to call on us. When we create, we are one with our thoughts as we conceive. We are developing newness, and to do this properly, we need to have at hand the full use of our abilities.

When we project out of the present, we are living out a pre-formulated series of events that has no room for growth. What was, will always be and therefore can never be modified or altered. All we end up doing is going around in circles to re-invent the wheel.

In the present, we have at our disposal "Peace" as our greatest asset and from this state of well being, we have an enormous potential for variety to then help us in the process of creating. With clear vision and good intent, we can be sure that the concept that was seeded in our minds, will allow us to bring forth our desires into reality.

ENJOYING THE CREATIONS OF OTHERS:

I once heard Music described as "The Flower of Feeling". I also think of it as a fruit of the Soul, but for some people, it is food for the Soul. As mankind came out of the swamps and lit the first camp fires, perhaps the primitive percussion music of sticks and logs became the primeval language. For myself, I feel that through music, man connected with the spiritual essence, since music can speak in ways that spoken language cannot express, and though he may not have known it, it might have been the first form of prayer. Even today as we listen to an instrumental piece or even a song in another language, a quality of feeling still manages to be understood by our heart and soul. Our minds are able to set the scene in a most perfect way, and through that peace, we are able to drift away with the notes to become part of the creation.

Since music is a form of communication, we can use this concept to try and understand what might have been the motive of writing a piece of music. Through calling on our awareness, we can then ponder the efforts and talents that have gone into all the various productions of music. We can ask why is it that the given title was used. We can go with the flow and feeling in the tune and listen to the passion in the words. Every now and then, try to go deeper that your daily routine might allow...take time out to unwind. If you are musical, let the talent of others nurture your own talent so as to produce that "Fruit of the Soul". If you are not musically gifted, then let that "Fruit" be "Food" for your own soul.

Music can be used as a very powerful tool to bring you peace. Listen to gentle music if you don't already, and get into the soul behind the creation. When you bring peace to yourself through such actions, you have actually created Peace for yourself; Yes!...you have Created, and such a creation is priceless.

Allow your own creativity to be enhanced by the creations of others. Look deeper into the work so that the meaning and motivation in the work may enable you to find an inspiration for your own creativity. There are very few people who are able to claim total originality, so to admit inspiration from another source only highlights your own awareness, and also gives a deserving credit to that other persons abilities and efforts.

CONTEMPLATION:

Your Love and it's fruits,
