There is much to say about creativity, but what’s more important is knowing that we create all the conditions and situations in our life. If (or because) we didn’t know this before, much of our life may have seemed like it just happened.
The Creative Source of all things is Omnipotent (all powerful), Omnipresent (everywhere present) and Omniscient (all knowing). We can call it Divine Intelligence, Spirit, Creative Mind, Universal Mind, God, or something else.
We say It is Omnipotent because there is no other force or source, and it is GOOD. There is no power for evil, none for disaster, none for harm of any kind. Nothing fighting for our eternal soul nor damning us to everlasting punishment. There just can’t be two Omnipotent Forces.
As we recognize It as Omnipresent, we know there is not a single place in the Universe where It is absent. It is in, about, over, around and through all things. It is right where we are, always and forever. Think of it as Life and Intelligence flowing through us, and It enables us to think, see, perceive and know. If not for this Intelligence, could we think even a single thought on our own? Could we communicate with each other at all if there were no common mental connection?
What It Means
As an Omnipresent Power, It is in me. That makes me an expression or extension of It, endowed with Its creativity. And that is extraordinary! It’s the Intelligent Force and Source that created the entire universe. I didn’t make it this way but it works in my favor.
My mind is a doorway to connect with Universal Mind, just as is yours. There is no distance. It’s present in me, and this makes me One with Its All-Knowing Intelligence. I can access that Mind for wisdom and guidance, any time or all the time. You, too.
As part of the All-Knowing Power and Presence, I turn my attention to it and ask for whatever I need to know. I also get to watch for the answer revealed in different ways. Sometimes it’s an inner prompting or flash of insight. Sometimes it’s a serendipitous event. Sometimes it’s just knowing that I know.
When I understand how it works, I can connect with the Creative Power through the use of my own mind. My mind connected to the Mind that created it all. Imagine the possibilities!
What I hold in mind is the mold for everything that fills my life.
It consists of my thoughts and beliefs, and it’s easier to change my thinking than it is to change the outside circumstances. When I change my thinking, it opens up my entire world and lets in new possibilities for great and wonderful things. New ideas, sparked by the Intelligent Presence, light up the dark corners of my mind and my life.
More than anything else, you have control over what you think. No matter what’s happening in your world, only you have power over your thoughts. Make them good. Make them creative. Make them something you want to live out as your life.
Thought is creative. Believe it, use it, and connect with it.
