Conscious Creation

May 30, 1999 by Rev. Christine

Today my talk is titled "Conscious Creation." A couple of weeks ago I spoke on "Conscious Evolution" which leads to "Conscious Creation" which leads us to "Conscious evolution." The two are so intertwined like "which came first the chicken or the egg." My answer is that God first held an idea of a chicken, and God never creates just one, but bountifully. From these first came the species, and then came the eggs as a natural form of re-creation to procreate itself. And, through their experiences and environment they have evolved to adapt and be bountiful.

Their evolution in the animal kingdom is on an instinctive level. Which mankind can and does prescribe to, but also mankind has free will of choice. Mankind can consciously create and by doing so increase its rate of evolution. Consciously or unconsciously we will evolve. Just the conscious way is less painful and more quick.

We are creating 24 hours a day; every moment is a new creation. We create consciously and unconsciously. We can create out of love or out of fear. We can take the high risk or the low risk; the highway or the long way. When we create out of fear; we experience through pain, suffering, anger, guilt. We perceive the world through our 5 basic senses; sight, touch, taste, smell, hear. And, that everything is separate from us. We believe that our world has power to hurt us. That we are victims of a harsh and cruel physical world.

Eventually we humble ourselves and seek help; we go to God. God speaks to us in many ways. Some go to church, some to the wilderness, others seek advice from friends, read a self help book, or watch a movie that sparks a new way. We learn from our sufferings, and become enriched by our experiences. Then move on to the next tribulation. Most of us are probably pretty familiar with this route. For this is the route for the unawakened soul.

As our soul awakens we develop an awareness of our spiritual nature. We become insightful to the true nature of our world. We begin to understand the spiritual nature of our world. That it is flexible, pliable, and responds to our state of being. Old limiting beliefs crumble away. We are aware that the choices we make can alter our experiences and the way we live life.

If we don't like what we are experiencing, we can change our outlook, our thinking, feeling, and believing. We can choose to do things differently.

As our soul awakens we become aware of our innate abilities, our other senses. These senses awaken through a heart of love and compassion, we call it intuition. Intuition is the inner sight, hearing, feeling, and expresses outwardly as creativity, beauty, and joy of living. Which ignites self-empowerment, genius, freedom, at-one-ment.

Conscious creation is being mindful to the here and now -- being focused. When our minds wander into the past pains and sufferings; we are recreating from the past with recharged feelings. Our experiences will all have a similar theme, but with new circumstances and faces. I've been there -- done that.

Just think of your mind as a canvas waiting to be filled in. You can pick the theme, shapes and colors. At the end you have a wonderful masterpiece of creation. Yet we don't stop here, a true artist, continues to the next creation, and the next. Each one exquisite. Visit but do not stay long. The joy is in the creating. Living the path, each stroke, moment to moment. Never being attached for too long, or we fall into the experience of our painting. Living the one painting over and over believing this is all there is. While a whole universe of paintings are waiting to be created - to become full of life.

Being mindful of the moment. The power of attention and focus bring forth what we call intention. Our intentions create our experiences. Conscious intentions, conscious creating is done through having "a single eye." Holding in focus that which we desire. This takes practice. Most people have an attention span up to about 15 seconds, then the mind fleets from one thought to another, or the mind chatter returns once. This alters the results of a an intention.

A pure intention comes from the mind and heart. Our focus is on God, God as our source, as our very being. Our Christ Self. We are creating in God and God through us. Our focus is on serving God and creating for the highest good for all. At a personal level we unfold peace, harmony, wisdom, prosperity, wholeness, beauty, joy, love in our lives; which are life supporting creations.

Our focus imprinted with negative feelings alters the intention from dynamic and pure to muddled where we don't even recognize it as coming from us. These negative feelings, are based in fear, anger, guilt, shame, and limitation. We project our consciousness into our creations and how we view the world. Its like painting on top of a masterpiece and seeing only ugliness. Luckily, this kind of paint can be washed away to once again reveal the true beauty.

Conscious intentions are a powerful tool. We can claim for our self to see the true world now; in its absolute perfect beautiful state. If we are experiencing challenges in a relationship with another person, claim to see the true person, the God or Christ Self now. One of mine is, "Let there be love, Let there be Love" repeating over and over. Another one I've heard that I really like is "What would Jesus the Christ do now?" or "What would love do now?" Wait until you hear the answer, and then respond accordingly.

Conscious creating is learning to listen to that "still small voice within" and then taking appropriate action -- obeying the voice for God. It is also being open to signs; God speaks to us through many avenues; the song on the radio, a story, a friend, a sign on the street, a bird or other animal. Its being open to receive. Living in the moment opens us to synchronicity - experiences leading us to the right place in perfect timing. Two people coming together in a restaurant; one having a message for the other -- the answer to their question. Sometimes we even get the answer before asking the question, "Ah, that's what that was all about."

The more we are in tune with our higher Self our lives become spontaneous adventures. This gets us to choosing the high risk or the low risk. The low risk taker is very analytical. They listen to the reasoning mind - the mind that judges by the 5 outer senses. They get all the information, analyze every detail, making sure there are few risks before making any decisions. Many stay right where they are in fear of making a mistake, or until it gets too uncomfortable.

The high risk taker is illogical to the reasoning mind. They listen to their intuition - that gut feeling. They ignore the rational facts based on the 5 senses. This is the path of faith, trust, and courage. The risks are always high, but so are the results. It may not always be in ways that we judge by outer appearances, but we gain much in our evolution.

It doesn't mean that the high risk taker doesn't experience fear, for they do, but they don't let it stop them. They pray, they take it to God. Renewing their faith they move on.

It reminds me of fire walkers. I attended a fire walk ceremony that we had here in May 1994. The workshop prior to walking was all about facing our fears, sharing them with each other, talking about the risks, and then getting our selves in to a higher state of consciousness through meditation, chanting - for in truth we knew it could be done. Not a single person was burned. Most people were there to move beyond their fears.

Don't be afraid to ask for the seeming impossible - as long as its for your higher good. Then be ready to receive the answer and move forward. Spirit just may ask you to leave your job, move to another city, state or country, end your existing relationships, change your daily habits... be ready.

Daily communion with God, in prayer, meditation, contemplation are means to opening to your true Self, strengthening faith, healing, and creating a new life. In Divine Science we have what is called prayer treatments. Prayer treatments are a form of extended affirmation to align oneself with the truth regarding any situation that needs healing. There are 5 basic steps: 1. Recognition of God; 2. Identification of ourselves; 3. creative denial (disclaiming the appearance as non truth); 4. affirmation (affirming the truth as already done for in truth it is); 5. acceptance & gratitude.

I recommend that you write your prayer treatments out. This is because it takes greater focus, makes one give greater clarity to their intention. You are also moving energy by the act of writing it out. You are also giving more time, much more than the 15 seconds.

Conscious creation takes the unification of mind, body, soul and the spirit moving freely through all. I have a handout for writing your own prayer treatments -- it is the outline of the steps. The first course in Divine Science teaches about prayer treatments and the basic principles - to be offered in September.

Let's take a few minutes now: to open our consciousness; begin deep breathing,

I acknowledge the Omnipresence of God, everywhere present. Omnipotence, one power and it is good. Omniscience, one knowledge, mind, intelligence.

I Am one with God this very moment, I am in God and God is in me; the very mind of God, the very life and spirit of God, the power of God is within me right now. I can feel the presence and light of God.

I Am no longer afraid to move forward in my life. There is nothing too great for me to confront. I am now willing to let go of out warn habits and beliefs for the greater good in my life.

For love is my strength. Faith moves me to listen, and gives me courage to trust and act. I am a warrior of truth and light. My life is fulfilling and joyous.

With a heart filled with gratitude I accept thank you God.

Amen.
