RC101 - Lesson One
What
is Conscious Creation?Conscious
creation is the heightening of self-awareness to its greatest
potential. It is not necessarily a spiritual path, since it has
no rituals or specific rules to follow
in order to achieve enlightenment.
We are all as enlightened and as spiritual as we will ever
be and have ever been - the only difference is that we sometimes
project our power outside of ourselves, giving strength to
perceived structures or systems that don’t support us in our joy.
The reasons why we do this vary according
to the individual, however the
answers are not buried in the subconscious, hidden in cryptic
texts, or kept secret by off-world beings. The answers to every
question you can imagine are inside of YOU, though you may be unaware
of them at times. Conscious creation presents a way in which
such answers may be realized by becoming more aware of your
thoughts and the life you create around you in physical reality.
Conscious
creation is about the total integration of self. It’s a way in
which you can become clear about your own desires and wishes, discover
that true sense of inner joy and harmony, and learn to express
that joy in physical reality. It’s about reclaiming those areas
of power we have projected outside of ourselves
and reintegrating them back into our lives,
whether that’s in the form of love, relationships,
finances, or personal expression.
The
main rule of conscious creation is: “You create your own reality.”
It is the only absolute rule, and what it means is that everything
you have experienced in your life is your own creation, it also
means that anything you wish to create in your life is never further
away than your own fingertips. The keys to creation are self-honesty,
self-love, trust, acceptance and awareness. Many of the
homework assignments in this class will focus on enhancing these
qualities within your life. The homework will be geared towards
being fun. If an assignment doesn’t look fun to you, don’t do
it. Feel free to create your own assignments, keeping in mind
that making them fun and interesting are the only
“requirements.”
The
manner in which each of us creates our own reality is through
our beliefs, whether we unconsciously accept the
default beliefs we grew up with or choose
beliefs consciously that support us more fully
in our joy. The beliefs you hold about yourself, the people you
love, the world, are all projected outward to
literally form the world you perceive around
you. Anything you have ever wished to experience
within this lifetime is possible for you. How is this possible?
We will be devoting an entire class to the metaphysical aspects,
tying all these ideas together with a bright red ribbon. For
now, we only ask that you play with them, consider
them, and keep your mind open about them.
“There
are no separations of the self.” – Seth
Many
entities and spiritual paths often use terms like ego to describe
various sections of the psyche with greater clarity. We have
found that people often get hung up on these separations though,
believing that they need to transcend their ego, or alter it in
some way in order to achieve the life they want.
Therefore we have chosen to work from a
perspective of unity, letting go of false separations
so that there is no part of the self to project outward, and
cast blame upon.
One
key concept we would like everyone to comprehend is that all
separation is an illusion. Each one of us is a
brilliant point of focus, with our own
“direct connection” to the source, whether you call that
source God, Goddess, ATI or some other name, the energy is still
the same. There are no hierarchies of beings between you and
“the top” - you are as much a god, or an angel
as any non-physical entity you may have
encountered. Nor is there a “nirvana” in which your
consciousness will dissolve after death, never to be seen again.
Consciousness IS, and YOU ARE - you will change
as you continue to grow, but even as you
are not the same as you were ten years
ago, you still retain a sense of identity that is uniquely “you.”
The
words “direct connection” are important here, because as a conscious
creator, you accept that you are the being who is the creator
of your reality. Everything you love about your life, you can
give yourself a pat on the back and a hug for,
everything you don’t love, give yourself
a little forgiveness and a pat on the back for being
such a good creator anyway. The hardest part of conscious creation
is that you don’t have the luxury of blaming your problems on
“the other guy.”
If
you feel separated, as if the only “you” you know is the physical
person that you are experiencing right now in
this lifetime, that’s fine. You are simply
basing your identity on the experiences you are aware
of in your daily life. For now, be playful with the concept that
you are the divine creator of your own life, that you are both
the writer and main character of the novel which
is “you.” Whenever you base some part of
your life solely on your physical senses,
or previous experiences, you are essentially creating by default,
which is what most of us do until we find a way to become aware
of what it is we have been creating.
Creating
by Default
Each
of us has chosen an overall pattern for our lives outside of
physical time and space. You can think of this
as “before” birth, however, keep in mind that this is inaccurate because
there is no “before” when
you step out of the physical. Communication with the
non-physically oriented parts of your being is constant, and
using the novel example in the previous
paragraph, you are constantly
re-writing the story as you go along.
Within
this overall pattern are the circumstances of your birth and
early childhood. You chose your parents, and the
conditions in which you lived and grew
up in. Many of the challenges we create for
ourselves are woven into these years, expressed through the type
of relationships we had with our parents and/or siblings, as
well as the types of relationships they had with
each other. For many people, the type of
economic circumstances is important as well.
Many of us have chosen to grow up believing that there is a lack
of money in the world, and that we must do something outside
of our joy in order to create it.
Believing
in the patterns we grew up with, or accepting beliefs presented
in the mass media is creating by default. There is nothing
wrong with this; however, if there is some part
of your life where you are unhappy, an examination of these default
beliefs will often hold the answer to why
you have created the experience. As you become
more aware of yourself and your patterns, you will learn to question
these types of beliefs more often. As you learn to examine world
events from a creation-based perspective, the essence of these
events will become plain and you’ll start to see what sort of
message they have for you in your own life.
This
brings us to your first homework assignments.
Assignment
#1
Get a pen and a sheet of paper and write
down at least two things you
know to be true about yourself. Next, do the same
about a loved one, about the world, and about the city or town
in which you live. Now, write the words “I believe” in front of
every one of those statements.
Congratulations - you’ve just crossed
the threshold into conscious creation!
Assignment
#2
Find something you think of as beautiful.
It can be a flower, the sunrise,
whatever fills your heart with joy just to look at
it or be with it. Now, while you’re observing it, tell yourself, “I
created this.” And pay attention to
the feelings that come up as you say
this. You may want to write these down as well. (This exercise
can be a great tool for self-empowerment
during those times when you feel
out of touch with your own creative being. Too often we will
judge ourselves harshly for an undesired creation, while ignoring
those areas of our lives where we are creating smoothly and
effortlessly.)
