Spiritual Consciousness

“Creativity comes from the spiritual realm, the collective consciousness. And the mind is in a different realm than the molecules of the brain. The brain is a receiver, not a source.” ~ Candace Pert …

I love creativity–it is such a wonderful and unique expression of our soul. And it has been my experience that much of what Candace explains here is true: my “brain is a receiver, not a source,” and my creativity comes from my mind being receptive to the energies flowing through my soul. And therefore, when expressing my own personal creativity, I have found that it generally cannot be forced out, as it is not something held within my mind to be summoned or recalled. And when I try to ignite it on demand, I have very little success.

Throughout much of my life I have found it difficult to see the potential for creativity in all aspects of my life. I was a math and computer science major in college, after all, and math and programming generally consist of very specific formulae and algorithms that produce expected results–there does not seem to be a lot of room for my own creativity there. But the truth is that creativity flows from my soul, and if I allow my mind to be receptive to it, my own authentic and individual marks will become apparent to me and to those around me.

There is so much wonder and beauty waiting to flow from each of us, if only we allow it. We are beautiful and unique creations, and everything we do in life holds the potential for us to express our creativity–when we sing, draw, dance, talk, interact with others, build, play. So do not be afraid to share your life, dreams, vitality, and passion with those around you. The creative mind is there within us–all we must do is simply listen with our minds when our heart and soul speaks.

Listen to your spiritual consciousness today–let your heart be your guide.

Questions to consider:

What is creativity to you?

How do you work to develop your creative side? How do you exercise it and help it to grow?

Have you ever tried just letting something happen through you rather than try to make it happen through your own will? How did it feel?
