CREATIVITY - PART 5 -

THE CREATIVE FORCE

New Thought teachings, such as the Science of Mind, are heavily focused on the Creative Process, and creativity. Since God is defined as the Creator, the science we teach is the science of the nature of this Creative Force, and the process by which It works.

It is the nature of God to give. Since God is all there is, there is nothing for God to want, other than to express outwardly in more and more possibilities. We are surrounded by a Mind, an Intelligence, and a field of invisible substance, which awaits our desire - and It's only function is to give. There is nothing It needs; nothing It lacks; but there is an urge, a desire, to express through Its creations - including through us.

Why then should change be difficult? Perhaps only because this Being, this Presence only says "Yes" to us, so that when we express smallness, when we feel inadequate, its only role is to agree, and say "Yes, you are."

We teach people how to take charge and create their own life. We teach that there is a Single Power, a Force, a Universal Intelligence that is the creative impulse and the medium we all call upon. When we adapt our thinking, and learn to express the hope of greatness, the confidence of success - in other words, to express FAITH, then the surrounding Spirit also says "Yes!"

We create nothing in our life. What we do is we express our intentions, and it is created for us by the Spiritual Being that is us, as us, in that moment. When we can touch that Being within us, the power to create anything in life is allowed to flow.

This God-Mind might seem to us like a force of nature; but in fact It isn’t, because It is the source of nature – It created nature, and It represents to us the very force and intelligence that our nature is made of. God creates out of Itself, since there is no other, and It becomes that which is created.

This energy and intelligence takes form as our world, and as you and me. Since It is us, as us, we have available to us that same ability to imagine forms, and to see them emerge into reality and become part of our experience.

We live out our lives in this world of space and time; it is beyond space and time, beyond all the limitations and measurements that we use to define where, and when, and how long, and how much. Both space and time are aspects of the material universe, and are linked to its behavior.

We know that creation goes on all around us, all the time. Normally, we don’t notice it, and we don’t think much about it. Every atom in your body has cycled in and out of existence a billion times while you read this sentence. You have essentially been re-created that many times. And yet you think it’s hard for you to change!

When we understand the incredible mechanisms of creativity, great things are possible.
