Living and creating consciously: When we open ourselves to conscious creativity, we depart from technique and knowledge of form and the intellectual requirements of a given activity, and arrive at a place of simply 'allowing'. We essentially create a channel of ourselves to bring form into being. That is what makes the creative process really a co-creative process. We connect with our true being which is the oneness of All That Is (energy consciousness) to create through our individual expression. Creativity therefore, is a conscious partnership. When you are doing what your truly love, you naturally create this field of unconditional love and acceptance where all things are possible. You generate loving energy that fills your heart and brings you joy. You do not even have to be good at it - you only have to enjoy doing it. Often, we tend to self-judge and compare our creative output and it prevents us from connecting with the creative joy within. Our "ego-mind" says we have to be 'as good' or 'better' than others in order to partake in our chosen activity. When you simply let go of those beliefs, and begin to listen to your inner voice which is connected to Universal Love and unlimited potential, you begin to train your fear-based ego to behave itself while you pursue that which brings you inner joy. Creating abundance in your life stems from connecting to inner joy through creative action. Abundance does not fall from the sky. It does however, manifest in your life only once you have first aligned yourself with your 'life-path' or secret life mission'. Later, we will explore ways of discovering your personal path and ways of recognizing when you are or are not on it.
