Where to Now?

The act of creation is a spiritual process. That is, it transcends the limitations of the mind and allows the playful exploration of your creative consciousness. Most of us are either creative "on demand" or in small increments. "On Demand" means when creativity is a necessity. Small increments means those creative touches we bring to cooking, sewing, hobbies, music, problem-solving, and any activity involving our day-to-day activities.

The sleep state is quite a different matter. That's the time our consciousness feels free to explore like a child visiting Never-Never Land. It easily moves from the mental state into the spiritual state and explores those aspects of our lives that serve us best when we are awake.

When I first began doing work in diversity. I noticed that some groups were easy while others were very challenging. I tried for several weeks to find the answer to this dilemma since the material content was the same, the exercises were the same, and my delivery was, for the most part, the same. I continued to look for the answer through the analysis process without success. One night I was simply so overwhelmed with this inconsistency that I seriously considered giving up the work since "very good" was not good enough for me. The next morning I awakened with absolute clarity. The answer: "I was just as prejudiced and biased as anyone else." My work was providing me the opportunity to look inside myself rather than outwardly at others struggling to find their own peace in a world of differences. Back to that old saying, "we teach what we most need to learn." I assume my sleep state exploration simply took over for me to take me out of my misery. I'm sure most of you can identify a situation that you were struggling with and awakened with "the answer," whether personal or professional. The key is to assume that "something happened." The opportunity is to discover the process of what happened and consciously reinforce it! Make it part of your day-to-day life--living creatively.

Next time I will discuss sleep-state programming.
