Where to Now?

I just visited the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art for the fourth time. My experience this time was perhaps the most profound I've had. In observing the recorded history of human beings, I came to the conclusion there were two dominant themes: Creation and Destruction. Much like Picasso's famous quote:

"The act of creation
is simultaneously
the act of
destruction."

The museum displayed some of the most creative expressions of the human spirit. I wondered why we, as human beings, could not be as creative in living together compatibly on a planet that has everything that is truly needed by everyone! I have previously suggested that the reason is we are not "collectively creative" in consciousness evolution. So most of what I was observing were the works of individuals.

The destructive part of our nature does not need to be recounted. It is obvious even to the present day; with no change in sight! Why? In spite of the fact that we declare that we want something different-- peace. The truth is we want exactly what we are producing and we all need to begin admitting that fact. The fundamental necessity for change is to begin telling the truth about our present motivations. And our present motivations are always tied to the results we are presently producing.

Who knows? Maybe it's our fundamental nature to live the dichotomy: Creation/Destruction. Maybe that's what the experience of the earth plane is all about. Oddly enough, even some of our most creative expressions are of our destructive nature. Which appears to be normal to most of us. I have a stupid idea that we might begin classifying our creative expressions in museums as Creative Constructive/Creative Destructive. Such a classification would certainly catch our attention; if not my condemnation!

I always conclude a blog with a "so what" response. So maybe if we all gave a little upward nudge to living "consciously creative" in our everyday relationships, work, play, and service, then who knows, we might collectively discover what it truly means to be Human Beings.
