CREATIVITY - PART 19 - UNLIMITED IDEAS

Since our subconscious mind is a part of the sea of Spirit, our conscious mind must go through the subconscious to access those ideas in the realm of Universal Mind. And what ideas are those? Well, when we move our mind from the realm of the Particular and specific to the Universal, we also move from Finite to the Infinite, from limitation to unlimited possibility.

The Seas have no boundaries, only the icebergs, islands, continents, have boundaries. It may look to us like the Atlantic stops at the land, but really it flows all around the land to join with the Pacific. We have given them two separate names for our own convenience.

In the same way, our conscious and subconscious are not really separate. One flows into the other smoothly and seamlessly. The focus of our thinking can be shifted deeper into the subconscious, if we can get our mental 'chatter', out of the way. The Chatter is all those little distractions, nagging thoughts, bits and pieces of shifting attention that keeps us from focusing our mind inward. It is inward that we must go, because as we have shown, nothing new is ever outward of us. Outward is always just the same old stuff, stuff that has been invented already by others.

Our creative ability involves reaching into and through the subconscious, and drawing out fully formed ideas, which are in infinite number in the sea of Mind. Everyone has this ability. The ideas come in the form of symbols and images, because the deep subconscious is not the place where language resides. Language is a function of the conscious mind, and that part of the subconscious that lies close to it.
