As an embodied soul, I am both the creation, bound to a contract of safety and survival, and the creator, inextricably dedicated to risk and innovation. It is, in fact, an inseparable part of survival. We can use the experience to grow and heal (creativity) or we can use it to reaffirm our attachment to a certain level of survival.
It’s just that when the majority of your focus/energy is on a picture of survival alone, you don’t always acknowledge the creative part of the endeavor. Making a conscious decision to move your perspective from survival to creativity is a spiritual experience that grounds your creative power in the three dimensional world.
It was years later until I realized that sentence actually held meaning for me– other than an expression of exasperation. It is, most literally, the love of my life.
For a remote viewer, creation is both the journey and the destination. It is the void, the confluence of all things singularly rolled into one while simultaneously separated into individual parts made unique by a nuance of frequency.
In my years of remote viewing, I’ve been on many journeys. There is no other way for me to describe my experience except to say that it is a direct interaction with the creative source and a distinct confirmation that we are part and parcel of this force.
As an embodied soul, I am both the creation, bound to a contract of safety and survival, and the creator, inextricably dedicated to risk and innovation. One way of describing survival is to say that it is the eternal quest for the mediator, the recognized other, regulator of our early bio-neurological processes. It is the search for the “savior”, the one who can assure us that no harm will ever befall us as long as we remain faithful to the other’s perceptions of the world.
Creation, on the other hand, is the direct experience beyond time and space. Creation is the personal responsibility of the individual to the collective and has no intermediary. Creation assumes survival.
A Biological Imperative
Survival is our biological imperative. How we define survival for ourselves and others around us is a component of health and well-being of global proportions. We can, for example, be persuaded to go to war when we’re convinced that our survival is threatened.
It is, in fact, an inseparable part of survival. Obviously, the more parts (i.e. pieces of consciousness) of ourselves we can convince to stay present in the moment, the more resourced we are and the more creative we can be.
What tethers us to the path of expectation? How do we mistake opportunities for opportunists, gifts for burdens, or vice versa? This is our survival mechanism in action; this is also our survival mechanism run amuck.
Past Tense or Present and Tense?
I have frequently had the experience of remote viewing events, places and life forms in the past. I absolutely know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is possible to focus on the signal line of such a target and experience that “past moment” in its sensory entirety. As a remote viewer, I am also trained not to take the experience back “home” with me.
It’s as if that particular part has no idea that a trained remote viewer also shares the same physical container. And the experience registers in my body through the nervous system while my brain draws the same fearful, delusional or hopeless conclusion it’s always drawn, based on the limited resources available to that unconscious part of me.
Of course, I’m just using my remote viewer part to make the point. Otherwise, it becomes impossible to return to calm and safety, the portal to creativity.
Survival In the Workplace
We don’t take into consideration that the unspoken part of our job description will be to fulfill someone else’s expectations. That makes it a fertile field for the triggering of unconscious past wounds. We can use the experience to grow and heal (creativity) or we can use it to reaffirm our attachment to a certain level of survival.
What often occurs is that we measure success or failure by the amount of money earned, possessions garnered, and lifestyle achieved. When we speak of someone as “successful”, we usually mean “wealthy. Somehow, this has come to mean that only the “successful”, the “creative”, have earned the right to play.
In this pass/fail world, survival can become a hook synonymous with boredom, drudgery and bitterness. It’s just that when the majority of your focus/energy is on a picture of survival alone, you don’t always acknowledge the creative part of the endeavor. We tend to stop at survival instead of peeking around the corner or taking those few extra steps toward a new picture.
Work and Play Go Hand in Hand
When exactly did ‘work’ and ‘play’ become the Cain and Abel of sound economic theory? In many cultures they used to go together. In some, they still do.
No doubt about it … play is a primal imperative. Play sets the stage for life.
Stress management in the workplace is really about people learning to work and play together for the creative good. Life needs creativity to thrive and the creative process needs acknowledged space to happen.
I once attended a week-long meeting of advanced remote viewers from all over the world. For three days we struggled to agree upon a list of prime imperatives for human survival.
In the end, ‘play’ was nixed from the top ten because it was not deemed a powerful enough imperative. What amused me the most was that the group could not sit there for a whole day deliberating on this list without someone starting to play. ‘play’, as visible a driving force as it was, never made the cut.
How does our quest for survival sometimes end up being the death of us? It’s when our biological history keeps insisting that we’re fighting for our life when, in reality, the actual threat in linear time has passed.
Taking the Leap
How do we make the move from survival to creativity? Well, first we have to recognize that we’re stuck on survival level.
I’ve found that Remote Viewing actually trains your informational processing system to behave differently. We really don’t realize how quickly that conscious part of us wants to draw conclusions. It’s the ones that don’t work any more but keep on going like the Energizer Bunny of survival mechanisms that we want to address and resource.
On a recent remote viewing journey, I was taken into a part of the matrix that is an energy stream. I suddenly realized that the creative force wanted to “play”. Making a conscious decision to move your perspective from survival to creativity is a spiritual experience that grounds your creative power in the three dimensional world.
