If you read the same books I do, you may be reading that the Ego is what
drives a person to desire anything. Some say that you do not need goals, or
plans, or even ideas. You may be taught that all you need is silence. Some will
encourage you to "do nothing," and in this nothingness lies the absolute
wholeness of who/what you are. For some, that may be perfect.
I would like to offer an additional perspective. It is our Divine Heritage
to Create. To create is a verb. All things created from Love are driven by
Spirit.
Rather than dictate one way or another, why not leave some honest space for
all light filled thought forms? Stillness as Bliss, AND Creation as Bliss?
That sounds like a good idea.
What if I totally bliss out on a snappy melody, or a dramatic play someone
came out of stillness to create? What if I don't wanna sit under a tree 24/7
and contemplate stuff? I like to do this sometimes. I see the value in these
things, but I don't find these quiet moments enough to satisfy my soul urge.
There is more that touches me deeply.
The world is full of joyful opportunity. Each day, there is a chance to see
your Self. Each day you have a chance to embrace life and the force behind it.
Why would anyone view this incarnation as a holding pattern? Just asking.
What on earth should I do if I have a great idea? Should I file it under,
"It's an illusion. Be still and know peace?" Or, should I jump joyously into
the mix of creation and know MY peace through full blast living from a wide open
heart?
As someone on a dedicated journey home to Light, I don't accept that I have
to begrudge myself a creative life, my inheritance, while I'm living in this
world. I choose Life. I choose to create that which I am led to create
without guilt that I am doing too much and thereby investing in dreamy uselessness.
I know what matters in the present, which is right where I am standing.
I must create. I have no choice. My soul cries out to touch every aspect of
my multi- layered being. Maybe this is not the calling for others. Maybe their
soul is indeed touched in quiet ways.
Whatever path you take home is the good path, the right path, the sacred
path. It's All Good. Source wants nothing more than for you to be happy; whatever
that looks like. Moments of deep silence and breath are wonderful. I use quiet
meditation to help me each day. And moments of soulful creation are wonderful
too. There is treasure to be found in both. You don't have to sacrifice one
for the other.
You get to decide where and how to access your Highest Self. It may be more
in stillness, or more in creation, or both. The quiet and awakened soul
understands that all expressions and receptions of love are maximal and whole, and
All Is Well.

You are a Creative being
I create with my heart all that I feel,
I create with my being the love you have given me.
I share with a chosen few the experiences I try to relate,
I share with the world a small part of myself.
I long to reach out but somehow am held back,
Someday perhaps I will be totally free.
