Manifesting creativity

Posted on by philipdodson

When we start the internal dialogue, does the voice ever say ‘that’s a brilliant idea’ or ‘let’s get started straight-away’ or ‘wow, you’re really good a that, do more’ and so on?

It normally starts with ‘why would you do that?’ or ‘she is much better than you’ or ‘last time you did that you messed it up’ and a whole raft of sabotaging comments.

Essentially among the 65,000 average daily thoughts are the ongoing sabotaging and repetitive ones, that’s the vast majority, that are mainly the same that you have every single day. They are the minds weaponry to stop the fragile ego being put at risk. They stop us doing and keep us thinking, no risk.

If we step away from that, if we build the habit of just doing the first step now, not in a minute or a bit late, but right now. If we instead of thinking, we stay conscious, then we avoid the repeating patterns, we prohibit the sabotage, we free ourselves to use the mind as the wonderful tool that it is, the tool that will manifest our creativity that flows from our soul and essence.

Creativity comes from the soul and is manifested by a mind that has the space to do that and where we are not identified or associated with the mind and its fragile ego. It is when we choose to use the mind as a tool not allowing the mind to use and silence us. We are the soul, the essence the being and the mind is part of our human carnation that allows that essence to express itself in the external world.

The first step

One step on the path and then another, that is all it takes, the steps, one at a time. Nothing else, pure focus.

If we focus on that, and that alone, then we are present in the doing of taking the steps and the mind is silent. We put all our energies into now, this moment, real life.

If we focus on the destination, then that is the future, and that involves the mind projecting into the uncertainty of that mind-created fantasy that is the future. Then comes the psychological fear and then that creates the feeling of unease, risk, uncertainty and the ego feels fragile. The mind then does everything to protect the ego, which usually means not setting off down a path. It means no action, just more thought, more fear and so on.

Paths are there in life to any destination that your soul feels to choose, it only takes a step to start, but the mind will stop you if you focus on anything other than taking the first step now.
