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.

Pointing the finger

The moment we feel the need to judge others, is the moment we have stepped into the criticism mode, the mind has taken over. We are starting down the path of reaction, of starting to slip into the victim/punisher mode.

We are looking to blame someone, we are looking to justify our own irritation, anger, frustration, anxiety with ourselves…all the things that led us to judge in the first place.

Always the judger is actually judging themselves. It is never the other person, it is always something happening within us that has caused us to react in the first place to another person’s words or actions.

If we accept that it is always within us, if we realise it is never anyone else, then we can be at peace, we can let go of others behaviours, pause and move on. We do not have to worsen our own suffering by spreading it to others.

We may not agree with another person’s behaviour and we can still verbalise or take action externally in response, but if we accept within that it is our state that causes the reaction, then we suffer no more within and we stop pointing the finger towards another. We put our point across from a position of peace and without the need to judge them.
