Over the years, many of us have invested a great deal of time and energy attempting to make a ‘good impression’ to promote a particular self-image and be recognized and appreciated. What if, instead of impressing others, the real shared task is to ‘make a thoughtful impression of the Good’ inside the hearts and minds of people everywhere by utilizing our faculty of ‘intuitive sensing’ that imagines a world which works for all?
In the groundbreaking book, “The Hidden Messages of Water”, Dr Masaru Emoto shared his research into the direct effects of the quality of our thoughts, words and feeling on molecules of water. Using high-speed photography, he discovered that crystals formed in frozen water change shape when focused thoughts are directed toward them. Dr Emoto demonstrated how water exposed to loving thoughts and words revealed clear, complex and colorful snow-flake patterns. In stark contrast, water subjected to negative thoughts formed incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with predominantly dull colors.
Dr Emoto’s discovery that thoughts can be captured in water, mirrors a similar process employed in Creative Meditation of ‘subtle imprinting’ of the ethers to build thought-forms that function as magnetic seeds carrying the promise of a preferred future. The Ageless Wisdom teachings explain that, “Energy follows thought” and “focused intent moves energy”. This attestation is central to understanding the limitless power that we wield together in building a better world. It is through ‘focused thought’ that we shape and enable our potent inner dreams to naturally show up as tangible forms in time, space and substance.
As we focus the lens of the mind, conceive of an idea and then project it into the surrounding ethers, it becomes a magnetic seed-thought that attracts to it all the necessary elements required to manifest. This inner process is summed up in the spiritual aphorism: “Potency produces precipitation.” Utilizing the power of thought – qualified and conditioned by a compassionate heart – constitutes the art and science of Creative Meditation.
Creative Meditation provides the needed tools, techniques and spiritual wherewithal for building a brighter future. Simply stated, it is the subtle work of shaping dreams and aspirations and bringing them into manifestation as a positive response to the call of the Soul of Humanity and the present world crisis.
Creative Meditation actively transmits refined and formulated energies into the subtle realms surrounding Earth so the ‘spiritual bio-sphere’ is infused with new possibilities. As we saturate the ethers with life-affirming thoughts, there comes a critical point when precipitation occurs and that which is potently desired, naturally rains down.
In addition to analogies drawn from Nature describing how seed-ideas sown in the rich fertile soil of ‘right relationship’, quicken and grow into new ways of ‘right living’, Creative Meditation as a systematic process of manifestation can also be explained by studying the construction of a new building.
In the same way a finished bricks-and-mortar ‘dream house’ starts life as an inspired vision translated into an architectural drawing, so the promise of a brighter future on Earth begins with a potent thoughtform – a magnetic meme – etched upon the receptive field of the collective consciousness by the compelling note of directed will and purpose. It is subsequently clothed in mental, emotional and etheric substance through the active agency of the higher mind in cooperation with a compassionate heart.
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great if the inward is small. – Meister Eckhart
The Universal Mind is said to be an infinite and omniscient field of potency and possibility that holds and gives birth to all Creation. Each of us, through daily alignment with the Soul, can function to some degree as a vital outpost of this vast Generative Field. We are called to be more engaged and active in the infinite dance of co-creation.
You and I are the Sowers and Growers in the Garden of Gaia and the appointed Builders of a New Reality, tasked with manifesting the Dream of the Creator on Earth. May our hope-filled ‘seed-ideas’, carried inside the granary of a loving heart, be spread abroad and blossom so the promised Future comes alive in the Present.
