Creativity as Consciousness
My consciousness has become so thickly rich and clear in its delicate nuances of expression that the very substance and structure of silence is holistically prevalent. I sleep, feel, think, eat, and act, in the light of pure wakefulness that is so silently vibrant that pure knowledge is as open to awareness as any sight or sound in daily activity.
My inside experience hovers around my body like verses of flowing knowledge that have found new geography to inhabit. I am surrounded by absolute stillness; in fact, my body is experienced as completely immovable in a churn of indescribable, effulgent beauty. My sense of heart-felt physical well being has escaped its subtlety and is inundating the entire range, from the largest ideas to the smallest physical aspects of daily life. My body is as still as pure space, crackling as pure fire, reverberating as pure knowledge, pure everythingness of natural law in crystal clear awareness.
Usually I write about knowledge or specific perceptions within that knowledge, but there is a more corporeal, a more physical, and more narrative aspect to experience, where concrete benefits arise, intrinsic to the experience of unboundedness. As fascinated as I am with knowledge only, I will try to be more practical. It must be the influence of the Ramayana. Keeping in mind that the perpetual experience of wholeness is, in and of itself, the most stable, heart-felt, all-inclusive, knowledge-filled, and whole-life-enriching experience one could possibly ever have.
My thoughts, however trivial they might seem, are all tickling configurations within the structure of wholeness. These thoughts have their birth, growth—and end—as the whole range of pure silence. I am those thoughts, fulfilled in each and every aspect of their expression. There is a completely appropriate level of material gain to each thought, even remembering that there is little difference in the experience between lively matter and bubbling consciousness. When there is continuity of awareness there is also continuity of satisfaction. I am not saying that material gain is not there, but rather that the gain is on all levels of the trajectory of desire or thoughts and therefore not only on the apparent, transitory, material level. My personal-to-universal desires survive the fullness of bliss at their fundamental unbounded source, as they appear to emerge and continue to escalate, to find joy in further more tangible realizations, both material and physical.
What I have found is that Self-awareness does not displace passion for life—or even desire— but rather illumines them in the light of an expanded connectedness. The very essence of pure awareness is infinitely permeable and is found pulsing, absolutely everywhere.
When I am designing in the computer, I am aware that pure unboundedness unmovingly sparkles as I am spontaneously copying the structures of my own consciousness from the screen of my awareness to the screen of my computer. The fluid transfer of the welling creativity does not feel like a transfer at all. I am sketching as consciousness on consciousness, resulting in a beautiful design of reflected wholeness.
My quiet, reverberating awareness is the structure of the screen, my attention is the whirling Rik of creativity, and the resulting material work of art is the final silent connectedness and fullness of the whole process. I am the Absolute silent participant, as pure knowledge and creativity, in the creation of all impulses of individual and universal existence.
The experience of the creative process is very, very delicate, and simple. It can easily be missed, because it is not really a process at all but is a fully expressed facet of my own pre-existing reality and is the essence of wakefulness itself. The joy, understanding, and experience of the creative process is not transitory. It is essentially the eternal mechanics of all processes in universal life, my life, everyone’s life.
