Getting Clear...

All creation starts with thought, moves through, and beyond speech, and finalizes with action. Factors which affect our thinking, will in turn affect our creative ability. It therefore makes sense to say, that if we are able to consistently think in a manner that equates to our highest good, we should in turn, realize success in our creative efforts.

In as much as we would like to maintain a specific mode of thinking, life has a way of bringing us stimulus, which we emotionally react to, and causes us to stray from our intended course of thinking, and our highest good.

Since fluctuations in your emotional state, equal fluctuations in your creative ability, it is most beneficial to us, to maintain an emotional state, that allows us to create at an optimal level. The emotional states of people, are often altered by random memories of past emotionally charged events. Some of these mood altering memories are joyful, and beneficial, however some are not.

Over time, the effects of storing these emotionally charged events, becomes cumulative, and starts to affect our lives in ways that are not always easily recognizable. Some symptoms are, poor memory, trouble processing information, apathy, depression, confusion, poor self-image, poor organizational skills, reduced energy etc.

All body processes, require, and consume energy, and any energy associated with maintaining a growing collection, of past emotionally charged negative issues, is energy that is not available to your present creative efforts.

By exploring past issues, and releasing the emotional charge, associated with these issues, a person will benefit emotionally, physically and creatively. In some circles the technique is called “emotional release”, in others it’s called “clearing”, however the intent, and end results are all the same.

It is my belief, that memories serve a function, and should be retained, however the emotional content associated with those memories, should be drained, if they are not serving your highest good. Now with regards to the manner in which a person may release the negative emotional impact, of a present, or past issue, there are many current trains of thought. Is not the whole psychiatric field trying to accomplish this feat? And what about religion,… are they not also attempting to arrive at that end result? Of course there is also the self-help field, and the motivational field, etc.

Consider, if you will, the fact that no one is working on the task of trying to make two plus two equal five. The conventional outcome to that equation is an established fact, which is recognized, and accepted by all humanity. And so my point is that people don’t waste time trying to improve upon that which works, and can not be improved upon.

In the case of psychiatry, religion, self-help, or motivational training, none of these has an outstanding track record. If any one of them did, then the rest would be totally out of business,…which is not the case.

The only logical conclusion for their inconsistent track record of success, would be the fact that they are operating within a limiting set of beliefs, that will not allow them to go into those areas, where true knowledge lies. When the only tool you have in your box is a hammer, you’re going to try to use that tool, to fix every problem.

Always keep one thing in mind, when you have a problem, and that is this,… it’s your problem! There is a very high probability, that at some point in time, your thinking led to the cause of your problem. If you then seek help from someone who holds the same beliefs you do, you may feel comfortable, but can you really expect very much from them, if they think as you do? Two misguided belief systems do not equal correct thinking!

Of course if you feel your thinking is “just fine thank you very much”, then I have failed to make my point adequately.

Releasing negative emotions, is based on the premise that “you”, and not other people, or situations, are responsible for all the meaning that any situation might hold for you.

You are always totally free, to respond to any situation as you see fit, and the manner in which you respond, is based on the meaning you have decided to overlay on that situation. Of course the meaning you decide to place on any particular situation, will stem from your belief system about what you consider to be fair, just, and true. Therein lies the problem.

Neither the healer, nor the patient, can be expected to be capable of leading the other out of the forest if they are both lost. At best, healing will become a hit and miss proposition amongst these two individuals.

Now I will stop alluding to the answer, and will tell you the answer outright, in terms every one can understand.

If your belief system is based in the collective consciousness of humanity, then your problems have been created not in spite of your beliefs,… but because of them! Nothing that has moved humanity up the ladder of consciousness, has ever been sourced within the collective consciousness. It has always been brought back to us, from outside conventional mainstream thinking.

If the collective was always right, the world would still be flat, the sun would revolve around the earth, and the moon would be made of green cheese!

I can not stress strongly enough, that the answers to life, lie in ever “higher” levels of consciousness, not the same level, and certainly not in lower levels of thought.

And so it becomes a truth, that those who disagree with conventional thinking, come to be regarded as either crackpots, or geniuses, and only time eventually reveals that truth.
