[ I JUST WORK HERE ]
Time to wake up! Everyone needs to express, to be
creative. If not, we will die wondering if we actually did the best we could
do, or if we were ever really in control of our lives. Being creative doesn’t
mean being artistic, poetic or visually gifted. It means taking
responsibility for oneself and one’s life and to take immediate action. It
means to express what needs to be expressed and to do so without choice as if
the very action were a matter of survival. Being creative is using ones
innate ability to move within and without the structure of change, enabling
the change to occur more freely. Michelangelo was very different
than Buddha who was very different than Thomas Edison who was very different
than Henry David Thorough, but each of these men were moved by the same
element, the same force of creativity from within into a particular area of
life that fit to each individual. So saying that everyone living on this
planet is creative and full of ideas just waiting to manifest is not
attempting to put someone in a box with a label that says, *I’m an artist*,
*I am a teacher*, *I’m an inventor*, *I am a poet.* None of that matters.
What is important is that the artist creates; the teacher teaches; the
inventor invents; and the writer writes. And that each does so with such
passion, with such force that it is as if it were a matter of life and death.
It does not matter what I am,
what I am does nothing. It is what I do that will expand. Every person is
full of ideas and the more ideas that a person can manifest the greater that
persons actions will be, the more the actions will expand and the greater the
person and the world will inevitable become. These ideas may just well be
about world economy, or science, or politics, or art. Every aspect of this
world holds a place within itself where creativity can and will manifest. The
idea is to be there when it does and to help it work for the good of
yourself, your surroundings, and others.
Each aspect of this world has a
specific place perfectly suited for each individual in an effort towards
creating a better civilization. It is up to the individual to find that
place, that niche, that spot that is theirs and to be there moving
comfortably within and without, while fully expressing the element of that
place. This enterprise is growing at a rapid pace, expanding not just in
terms of population but of science, technology, communication, inventions,
and ideas which are manifesting quickly and with creative intelligent
movement. Each individual must find a place that is perfectly suited for him
or her to help bring their group into a harmonious pattern with others on the
path to a more civilized civilization. The potential is right here all around
us and each individual must make an unyielding effort to help it to realize. There’s a light, a movement.
It’s a fire that flows from a source within and it is reflected in everything
around you. Find it. As Neil Young once said, "Take the time to close
your eyes and look around." Look inside of yourself, find the light, the
moving force that propels you outward and onward and let it move you to that
place as if you had no choice, as if it were a matter of survival. At that
very moment there is no separation between in and out, up and down, black and
white, you and me. This is heaven. And we are free. |
