What’s the Bright Idea? (part 2)

What’s the Bright Idea? (part 2)

In honor of celebrating Life, Liberty, and Creativity, this post is part 2 (of 2); a 2008 copyrighted extraction from the “What’s the Bright Idea?” chapter in MaryAnn D’Ambrosio’s Doctoral dissertation entitled  “Beyond the American Dream . . . Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of a Creatively Inspired Life.” Author’s note:  I’m really excited to get my Ph.D. work out on the web.  Enjoy!

Part 1 of What’s the Bright Idea? and now for part 2:  [Observe what is happening in the world today.  Many people would say these are times of crisis and great unrest.  “Fear, greed, and the desire for power are the psychological motivating forces not only behind warfare and violence between nations, tribes, religions, and ideologies, but also the cause of incessant conflict in personal relationships.  They [fear, greed, and the desire for power] bring about a distortion in your perception of other people and yourself.  Through them you misinterpret every situation, leading to misguided action designed to rid you of fear and satisfy your need for more, a bottomless hole that can never be filled.”  Tolle  (2005:12)

We’ve come to a juncture in history that places this nation as well as all other nations at a crossroad.  Can we exist within the current reality?  The majority of humanity exists in the unconscious or egoic state – meaning a complete identification with form – physical forms, thought forms, and emotional forms.

At this moment, a subtle revolution is taking place in the United States (and, in other places around the world).  The energy behind this revolution is similar to that of the 1770’s and the founding of this “great” nation.  As evolution would have it, masterful thinking is bubbling to the surface and we’re witnessing an unprecedented flow of consciousness in humanity.  This flow of consciousness sets the stage for creating a new world — something beyond what is currently being experienced and could even be named the “21st Century Renaissance”.  Each of us literally holds the key to creating our future reality.  It involves a small shift in the way we see ourselves in the worldThe time is now to open to the awareness that life holds unlimited possibilities.

 

What if the main purpose of life is the conscious pursuit of a creatively inspired life?  What if you could raise your consciousness to a level that gracefully and effortlessly allows you to go where you want to go, be what you want to be, and do what you want to do?  What do you feel when you hear this?  Does this idea frighten you or does it appeal to you?

Now that you are aware of the idea that life’s purpose is creation.  Think of the possibilities. Can you envision a life filled with freedom and happiness?  A new direction is being forged because of the appearance of limitations and restrictions in the existing structure.  It’s time to reveal what Creation is really about!  It’s time to explore the unlimited possibilities that can change life, as we know it.  If you’re interested in accessing the dimension beyond time and conditioned thinking, then you’re ready to step into the pocket of Creation.]

The top 3 things I’ve learned over the years and deliberately apply to the everyday . . .

  1. I hold the keys to creating my future reality.  It’s always about how I’m “being” and much less about what I’m “doing.” By paying attention to the energy within me and around me, I get instant clues to the “being” part all the time.
  2. The key to creating my future reality involves a small shift in the way I see myself in the world.
  3. When I feel “off” – that is, when someone or something is “pushing my button,” I check-in to see if I’m misinterpreting the individual or situation.  The more unattached I am to what’s going on (and this doesn’t mean I don’t care), the clearer I can be in my communication and decision-making.  This has proven to be very beneficial in conflict resolution and crisis situations.

How about you?  I’d love to hear how you pursue life, liberty and a creatively inspired life – in the “Speak Your Mind” comment section on this page.
