The world around us is a living school teaching us how the universe works. We find examples every day within the simplest expressions of creation. If you have ever gazed upon an inch worm, crawling along, you have witnessed an example of how the universe works with the creative pulse of creation. The inch worm crawls in an undulating fashion. It moves forward in a burst of energy, hurling itself forward. Then it gathers up the remaining portion of its body until all of its mass is collected together again, in a mound of life force. Now it is ready for the entire process to repeat. It is ready to pulse forward again. Watching an inch worm use the creative life pulse to move forward, teaches us everything we need to know about the creative pulse of creation we use every day.
In the August issue we reconnected with the source of creation with a Solar Meditation. Now we are going to take it a step further and learn to connect with the creative energy of the source. We will begin to learn how to take control, consciously, of our own creative energy from the creator. The creative pulse of creation radiates, encompasses and penetrates everything, physical and non-physical. It is every where and no where at all. It is memory and possibility. It is the movement of the creator. The Maya called this force "Lol" (spirit that permeates everything) or "Ik" (the wind) The Maya believe that all creative energy comes to us through the lens of the creator, our Sun. The sun sends cosmic energy to earth. When this energy reaches earth, it is collected by the trees. Then the trees create the wind and distributes the information/energy though-out the earth garden. With this is mind the obvious place to connect with the creative pulse of our universe is in its primary form, on earth, in nature and under the sun. Begin to reconnect with the creative pulse by finding a place in the sun, near some trees. If you are more daring, climb a tree! I recommend the second suggestion highly. Remember the trees collect the energy sent to us by the creator. The ideas here, is to connect with the spirit-energy of earth and the trees.... then move beyond this energy to the primary creative energy of source that is the genesis of all spirit. Get comfortable either in the tree or next to it. With your face turned toward the Sun begin to merge with the trees. Feel the tree. Become the tree. Recognize the tree's spirit. Let the tree's spirit recognize you. Let the spirit of the tree fill your heart. When you have successfully merged with the tree begin to notice the wind, the breeze that makes the leaves ripple in waves. Watch this for a while. Feel the spirit of the wind blowing in the trees. Watch the trees and their unified interaction with the wind. See how the wind and the trees become one. Recognize the spirit of the wind and allow it to recognize you. Allow your spirit to blow with the wind and move with the tress. Let the wind fill your heart. This is quite powerful when you are actually in the trees moving with it. Remember the Maya believe the trees make the wind from energy received from the Sun. Once you have connected with the obvious energy-spirit of the trees, begin to connect with the more subtle energy of the rocks, the bushes, the sand... Look all around you. See the spirit-energy in everything of earth. Merge with earth and its spirit and let this creative pulse flood your heart. While containing the spirit of earth in your heart, begin to shift your consciousness by pulling in the energy of the cosmos into your being. Seize the energy of the Sun. Even if you can't see them during the day, be aware, of the stars and planets. They are also sending you energy. Remember you are a piece of the sun and a part of the cosmos. Now merge yourself with this cosmic energy and let the sun, stars and planets fill your heart. Begin to combine together the energy cosmos with the spirit of earth. Become one with this unified spirit. Let all of the creative energy of the universe enter your heart and flood you with sustaining energy. You will begin to feel like you are in an ocean of spirit, and the individual definitions of reality will become fuzzy and blend. Once you have merged with this encompassing spirit of the universe, ask to go beyond this spirit and understand the primary energy behind it. Listen with your heart to hear the solar wind that is not a wind. Listen to the cosmic voice that is not audible with our physical ears nor can be seen with our physical eyes. Hear the song of creation. Begin to experience this place before physical reality. Sit with this creative pulse until you feel you have connected completely. You have now reoriented yourself with the center of creation. At this point it is deeply meaningful to commit yourself to this new orientation point. I use various forms of affirmation and prayer. The example below is a suggestion only. Sing what is in your heart. I am one with the possibility of the creator. I am one with the intention of the creator. I am one with the creative pulse of creation. I remember now, I always have been. I draw all my life's creative force from the source of the creation. I will remember this always. This energy is attainable to me at all times. Every second, every minute, with every breath I take, for I am a piece of the creator. I commit my spirit to the source of creation, and thus is my orientation point for all my creations. Creative energy is available to us at all times to be used by our individual intentions. We realize we are existing and creating with this energy in every moment. Remember that all we create begins from this source. We need to begin to be aware of where we are receiving our energy from on a daily basis. If we are receiving energy from others, we are taking in a fragmented source of energy, and may be impairing the person we are pulling it from. Be conscious to draw sustaining energy from the universe, in which to create, and center ourselves with the core of creation in this place-energy beyond physical form. This meditation-exercise, can also be done during night time under the natural light of the stars.
