Creativity

This present arising is creativity, and in this sense, everything is creativity. The whole thing is a constant process of creation. Everything is being created every second, every split-second. You are being created; so is everything. We have been lulled into the conventional belief that we come from the past – from our father and mother, from childhood experiences, and from our history. Our mind uses this story so that we don’t look at the issue of our origin more directly. The mind is habituated to think that the past is where everything comes from. But that is illogical because the past actually doesn’t exist. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 164)

 

Creativity

 

Creativity and true nature

If you recognize what it is that you are coming from right at this second, you will recognize your true nature and the nature of everything. When you realize that, then you realize that you are not in the world. It is actually like the world is not you. If you recognize your true nature that is constantly creating what you see, then you realize that all that you see is in that true nature; that everything you see – the whole world, is in you, not the other way around. This process of creativity is seen then as obvious and normal – there is nothing special about it. It is happening all the time; it is happening to everyone and to everything in every second. You don’t see it because you are accustomed to thinking that you are a body that continues in time. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 165)
