CREATIVE SPIRIT

The Sacred Act of Creating Our Own Reality

By Gary Gabelhouse

THE NATURE OF REALITY & HOW THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED (AND IS STILL BEING CREATED)....

Think of reality as a bubble.  Your reality is made-manifested....infinitely....by the divine breath....all reality....the bubble growing larger and larger as it takes form.

The reality we exist within is the film of that bubble.  As all sentient beings, we are manifested and exist as the film of the divinely manifested bubble we call....reality.  With the un-manifested intent of the Godhead giving internal form, the integrity and shape of reality is formed by the force--the non-existence of the un-manifested void.  So, within our bubble of reality, the divine breath with which the entire universe was created, expands its reality which is held in shape by the counter-pressure of the void.  As long as the divine breath steadily flows, our reality--our universe....expands.

This expansion of our universe as well as its finite nature has been corroborated by modern physics.  But, perhaps we should change our lexicon from the BIG BANG THEORY to the BIG BLOW THEORY.  Well, I suppose that since anything that blows is a bit speculative, or connotes something negative, we should refer to all this as the BIG BUBBLE THEORY.

The Big Bubble Theory is the universal theorem.  It explains damn near everything.  Not only does it explain how the universe was created, it explains how we as humans create our world.  It also explains how we develop our divine spirit.

CREATING OUR OWN REALITY....

Just as all reality is co-created, we create our own....

We manifest what we think.  To think is to garner our intent and to act is to apply it.  Our intent gives rise to thought, and our thought and intent must be applied, and it is done so--applied--through the energy of our emotions and our feelings.  So, what we manifest as our reality depends on how and what we think, and how and what we feel.  To manifest, we have the momentum and machinations of our intent, thought, and the emotional energy with which we power....our creation.

We manifest what we think.  SPIRIT gives us what we think.  Every time.  Always.  Exactly.

If we think that spiritual grace is unattainable....we will be provided with our own failure.  

If we think that spiritual growth is difficult....we will be provided with all manner of difficulties as we pursue our own spirituality.

If we think that spiritual evolution will always be challenging as we seek our sanctification....we will remain perpetually challenged as we seek spiritual fulfillment.

If we think that we are not in control of our lives....we will be provided with adequate outside control that ensures we are not.

If we think that unhappiness is our lot in life....we will be showered with things to be unhappy about.

Intent, thought, emotions and feelings create our reality.  And it is we who manifest our world.  It is we who are responsible for co-creating this amazing world.  But the part of we, and hence, the part of the world that we control is only our SELF.  ONLY OUR SELF.  So, it is a Do-It-Yourself world that we all live in.  Knowing that is the way of things, let's explore ways we can....DO things....

CREATIONISM BASIC EXERCISES....

Every day we have 86,400 seconds which, according to neuro-psychologists, gives us time to have 65,000 thoughts.  Further, psychologists posit that the average person has 15,000 happy thoughts fueled with joy--every day.  Likewise, we have, on average, 50,000 unhappy, disappointed or anxious thoughts fueled with fear and/or negativity--every day.  Spiritually, it's like we allow 50,000 assholes to tromp on our Being with muddy shoes, and piss in the corners of our sacred Soul.  And so, because we get what we think, we often get the unhappy, fear-filled, unworthy world which we think and feel is our....destiny.

Don't believe that you can create something real out of nothing?  Let's give it a try.  I want you to find a quiet place and sit down.  Close your eyes.  Now, I want you to think about the place in the world that you have always wanted to go.  Imagine how warm or cold it is--how it looks, smells, sounds.  Keep that image in you mind.  Keep thinking about that place for a few minutes.  Embellish it.  Play with it.  Shape it.  But most important....BE....in it.

Now, can you not remember that place?  Can you not still see what it looked like?  How it smelled and sounded?  The fact that YOU CAN still see, hear, smell and even feel that place is proof that you DID create that place for yourself.  Just because you consciously created it in your mind does not detract from its reality.  Reality is what we think it is....what we feel it is.

As you have just consciously created that special place--you can consciously create other things in your life.  The key to creation is to empower your thoughts and feelings.  In order to do this, you must first establish yourself in your being.  And it's not as difficult as you think to do this....purposefully.  

Pursue a contemplative practice that centers you within your....Being....allows you to find a sacred Union.  Practice meditation.  Meditation is our basic tool that helps to center us in our Being.

Manifest your own reality by establishing yourself in your being--in a state of unity, oneness, bliss, union.  When established within your being, focus your intent and perform a sacred creation--and manifest your dream.  Dream.  And breath your life into your dream.  When fully engaged in that dream and when you pervade your creation, work with it, duplicate it, backwards engineer your creation, and have full knowledge of it, you can then (and only then) participate....in that dream.  Thereafter you can graciously contribute your creation to all others.  That dream, that creation will be, thereafter, your new reality.

A Case Study In Creation: Three years ago I wrote a novel with an incredible scene where the Dalai Lama, the Pope, and a Grand Ayatollah found it necessary to meet, and confront a great evil.  After writing about it in my novel, I wanted, with everything in me to meet His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.  I wanted to make the creation found within my book--a reality in my life.  At that time, my intent was manifested, and I pervaded my dream--my intent to meet the Dalai Lama.  Within a few weeks from consciously creating that part of my reality, I received a call from the protocol office of....His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.  I was invited to meet with His Holiness during his visit to Madison, Wisconsin--and have a small-group meeting, and then have a short personal audience with him afterward.  I met with him on June 22, 2008, and that meeting dramatically changed my life.  But it was only myself who had the dream.  And I very consciously created that reality.

We are our own creators.  And we either knowingly, or ignorantly.. ..create our own reality.

CREATIONISM & SPIRITUAL GROWTH....

The process of spiritual growth and the act of creation are one and the same.  BIG BUBBLE THEORY redux.  We are here on earth so that we may....create.  Conscious creation is the proof of our Divine Spirit.  Creation is the expression of our BEING.  Our world becomes what we think and feel.  And when we are in Union and established in our BEING, we think and feel....Divine.  And so is what We create.

The reality we create changes and moves--it can have mass, energy space or time.  But our being--our creative....spirit....is un-manifested, and hence, our being doesn't move, nor does it have direction or velocity--no mass, energy, space or even time.  Our perspective of direction, movement and time is actually our reality.. ..moving by us....around us....and becoming the past as it is created in one pure non-moment of being....which is always and only.. ..NOW.  But as soon as it is manifested, the NOW is gone....and it joins the past.

And the past is like the most loyal pet we can have.  If we call it, it will always come.  Sometimes we don't even know that we have called it, but it is there, and sticks its wet nose into our ear....and we laugh or cry....tremble in fear or glow with righteousness.  Our past is the pet that never dies in our world.  It is always there for us.  Good or bad, and whether we're good or bad.  It unconditionally....comes on our call.  It is of our creation.

Since our reality is found within the film of that big bubble, our spirit--our being can't grow up, down, or in any direction.  The term higher state of Being is oxymoronic.  Our Being, and hence our spiritual growth is not defined nor bound by the metrics of space, mass, movement or time.  When established within our Being, we are all ascended Masters.  And we are all....creators.  We have within us, universally, the Divine Spirit.  You too.   All of Us.  

As we manifest our reality it may move in both time and space, yet our Being remains centered in the un-manifested Godhead--our Being remains within the Unity of the Divine.  

Even if it WE WERE stuck within our reality, there would be no up, down, left or right....because we are all within this big floating bubble called reality, and there is no higher or lower--just....different....but the same.  So, forget about spiritual growth as a direction.  The Divinity that is within Us is without direction, size or velocity.  Our spirits are immeasurable.  No one exists on a higher Spiritual level than anyone else.  The trappings of spirituality are just that: Trappings.  Human-made trappings that may look, sound and feel....cool, but at the end of the day, are no more Spiritual than that dog turd I stepped in this morning coming to work. 

You can, however, Be and Act  in your BEING, and when you do so, it appears as though you HAVE it all.  And You do.

Contrary to our Divine Spirit, our reality is finite and with form.  And it is manifested from the un-manifested, and created through the energy of our intent, thoughts and feelings.  Every second, every nano-second we create....our world.

SHORTHAND METHOD TO GAIN ENLIGHTENMENT....

Thinking that spiritual growth need be difficult and that enlightenment or sanctification is beyond we humans is not a reality for me.  And it is not that I am a Messianic crazy, or some wild-eyed wanna be Saint.  There are a lot of people who accept that enlightenment is not only possible in our lifetime, but think that there's a damn good chance of it.  But just like anything else in this world, in order to have that, we must do something about it.  We must somehow crack the Sacred code, and be ready to accept what comes with that.

How creation and spiritual realization work as one, is embodied in three words that you have already read a number of times in my ramblings.  Those three words are: 

Be - Do - Have

Go back and reread those three words over....and over.  Make them your mantra.

Be - Do - Have

BE: When you are in your BEING, You are in the moment--that moment when creation is the imperative.  When you are in your BEING, your potential is immeasurable.  You are part of the Union--the Godhead.  There is no past, nor is there a future.  There is only now, with unlimited potential.

DO: We act through our thoughts.  We seek to do.  We dedicate.  We reach.  We strive.  We....DO.  Our thoughts are fueled by our emotions and feelings.  They are what fuels our thoughts as they undergo a sacred alchemy and become action.  We....DO.  We....CREATE.  We totally invest ourselves into our creation.  We pervade that creation, imbue ourselves, we replicate it and study it and eventually we learn it.  

HAVE: And since we have replicated it, have knowledge of it, studied it and have learned it, we....HAVE it.  We HAVE a new reality and that new reality, that understanding of reality enhances our ability to be grounded within our.. ..BEING.  By HAVING that knowledge we are more within our BEING.  And when we are within our BEING....Spiritual conflicts are resolved.  When all Spiritual conflicts are resolved, one realizes....Sanctification....Enlightenment.

So, the Have becomes a more Spiritual....Be.  And when we are more grounded in our BEING, we can DO more--create more knowledge and resolve more conflicts, which allow us to even be better grounded within our BEING.  Our reality becomes a Divine cycle of BE-DO-HAVE-BE-DO-HAVE.  And we grow back to our....Godliness.

We are all one, and We are all the co-creators of this thing we call reality.  But once we all CREATE, we have also become one who is part of this dream of creation.  When we are a part of this reality, and apart from our Spirit, we yearn to be sanctified--one with our Spirit--always.  And so, some of us embark on a Spiritual path.  We try to create a reality full of understanding and acceptance.  We try to create a reality in which there is no....Spiritual conflict.  We try to BEcome in....Sacred Union....Spirit.

Hence, sanctification is resolution to all our Spiritual conflicts.  Failure in Spiritual growth and development is our conscious or unconscious perpetuation of Spiritual conflict.  Our failure occurs only when the position of our BE which we assumed is inadequate to perform the DO needed to attain the HAVE.

If we do not fail, and continue to grow in Spirit, we resolve all of our spiritual conflicts.  We are sanctified.

Sanctification--truly becoming of Spirit--is the ultimate winning at this game of reality.  Sanctification is growing our state of BEING by actively DOING and HAVING, which allows for a more Universal state of BEING....and so on, and so on....

BE - DO - HAVE - BE - DO - HAVE . . .  .
