Creatives Ascendant

Creatives Ascendant ~ The Next Frontier Do you believe you create your own reality? Then you are in the front lines. You are part of the next frontier. Humans have always been creative. Each one of us is the result of the creative act of conception. Then one cell becomes two, those cells create new cells, and on and on. We are always growing, expanding, sometimes more consciously than at other times. And when we get stuck, we are still creative about it. Some of the most creative minds belong to the mentally ill who create all manner of paranoid delusions. But we would like to focus on the healthy creatives here. Those who take their experience and wisdom of the world and create stories or pictures about it. This is something every single one of us has the capacity for, whether or not we choose to exercise it, because we know that as children we drew and told stories and felt the world as very alive and ourselves very alive in it. From where I sit, the awareness of our inherent creativity is as vital to the spirit as food and water is to the body. Because the awareness that we create our realty is the next frontier. The new frontier. When we can actually know without a doubt that we are responsible for everything that happens to us, all the bad guys disappear. There is no one to blame anymore. There are simply other beings in our reality doing what they do, just as we do what we do. We don’t have to be part of their reality unless we choose to. The stories I will be reading today are from a collection of American memoirs. What they have in common is the palpable excitement of each of the writers for the life, the experiences, they are telling us about. We might not all be able to feel this kind of heightened awareness and excitement every day, and most likely the writers themselves don’t either. But I found their excitement rubbing off on me as I read their stories, and I hope it will rub off on you as well.
