Dynamism

The dynamism of Being, as experienced in the deeper stages of self-realization, is a spontaneous and natural flow of Presence. In the human soul the Presence functions as the inspiring and motivating center of initiative, action, and creativity, and its intrinsic patterning functions as the guidance that directs that activity. This activity is totally spontaneous and free from the constricting influence of psychic structure. The self is intrinsically intelligent, and this intelligence is part of the inherent intelligent structure of Being. (The Point of Existence, pg 87)

As we have seen, the Presence of Being, which is the Essence of the self, manifests as a structured dynamism in which Presence arises in various forms. We call these manifestations aspects of Essence. Each of these pure forms of being possesses phenomenological qualities along with specific functions in relation to the self. The Essential Identity is one of those forms. (The Point of Existence, pg 146)

The optimizing force of Being’s dynamism is a will and movement within the manifestation of Being that guides the dynamism to move toward more openness, greater illumination, greater maximization of reality, awareness, light, and truth. This is exactly identical to the core of a question, which means that the dynamism of Being can and does operate as the dynamic essence of a question. That is why we have often said that inquiry activates and engages the optimizing force of Beings dynamism. Inquiry engages the optimizing force because the essence of a question is this unknowingness that is full of love for knowing. (Spacecruiser Inquiry, pg 106)

Being’s dynamism implies more than the fact that experience and perception change; it also implies that the change is due to a transformative and creative inherent power. It’s not solely a matter of cause and effect, although cause and effect is part of it. When I say “dynamism,” I mean a living force similar to the biological evolutionary force: it doesn’t always respond in the same way or in predictable ways. It is intelligent, and therefore its manifestations keep shifting around, moving toward more optimization of life. This is why I say that Being inherently possesses the optimizing force, or the optimizing thrust. (Spacecruiser Inquiry, pg 153)

We refer to this property as dynamism, meaning that the soul is inherently dynamic, rather than static. This dynamism implies an energetic, vital, active, forceful dimension of the soul, a dimension that intersects all of her other dimensions. This dynamism is an active power, an inherent pressure toward manifestation, an implicit impulse towards unfoldment, a basic will toward revelation, and a fundamental love of display and self-expression. Our perception of the soul’s changeability and unfoldment helps us to recognize this dynamic dimension of the soul. All these manifestations of dynamism are nothing but the various ways it expresses itself. In other words, the pure conscious presence that constitutes the field of the soul is a dynamic presence, where dynamism is completely pervasive of, and absolutely inseparable from this presence. The essential ground of the soul is not only her ontological dimension but also this pressure to manifest her potential. The potential of the soul, in other words, is a dynamic potential. (Inner Journey Home, pg 91)

We can also experience our dynamism as the very substance of the soul being made out of a medium that is scintillating, exploding with life and consciousness. It feels like a pulsating, breathing, medium, glowing with life and energy. It actually feels it is breathing, even though there is no oxygen exchange or anything like that. It is the sense of pulsation, of teeming aliveness. This dynamic fundamental dimension of the soul is the basic property, the inherent force that impels her toward manifestation. This dynamic pulsating quality to our consciousness appears to us as a flow, as the unfoldment of our potential. This dynamism is the intrinsic energy and power that makes it possible for our soul to manifest her potential, to create her forms. It is the creative dynamism, literally generating her forms of experience by metamorphosing her very presence. It manifests the forms of our experiences through a morphogenic transformation of her very substance. In this morphogenic transubstantiation she expresses her excitatory pulsation, her motile dynamism. This dynamism generates forms through morphing. (Inner Journey Home, pg 92)
