In my first message on this Board I made reference to our Essence in terms of our origin and hence our potential ability, which could include the ability ‘to Create’.
Now “to Create” may seem unattainable or beyond our acceptance, because we may see “Creation” as making something out of nothing, and how can one of us make something out of nothing ?
Surely only that “Central Source” can make something out of nothing.
Well …. that may depend on the nature and sequence of events ….
The sequence of events that need to take place for the “Creation” of something can be seen as starting off with “Thought”, which then progresses to “Communication“, which then finally becomes “Action “.
Let’s assume one is an Architect. Your client wants a residence built to incorporate certain specific requirements, some of which are extraordinary and demanding.
The Architect goes away and “Thinks” about the problem in order to arrive at an acceptable solution.
Eventually he (and of course it just as likely can be a “she”) can see, in his mind’s eye, what the structure will look like.
He then needs to “Communicate” those thoughts to other necessary role players, such as his draughtsmen or engineers, etc.., who will then put his original “Thoughts” into transmittable data such as drawings, calculations, specifications.
With this hard data in hand, the Architect can now direct a Builder to turn his original “Thoughts” into a physical reality, as “Action” will now speak louder than “Words”, and his original ideas will manifest themselves in the form of bricks, mortar, concrete or steel .
So where there was nothing, there now is something physically tangible.
This process of “Creation” can manifest itself in many ways in our societies, both on an individual level or in terms of a population or nation.
Think of the original “Thoughts” and ideas of Karl Marx or Mao Tse-tung or the Founding Fathers.
Irrespective of one’s sympathies with their individual creeds, they put their “Thoughts” on paper or spoke to the masses. Once they had “Communicated” these ideas and they found acceptance, their followers put these ideas into “Action” and a whole national movement or nation came about and endured for a period of time.
Therefore maybe the process of “Creation” is not as unattainable as some may think.
It’s a case of Thought, Word and Deed.
Now that particular “Creation” may have its repercussions, which may be acceptable or convenient at the time.
However, as time goes by and an individual or group Experience the end result of that “Creation”, it may no longer be desirous to endure or perpetuate it.
What Works or Doesn’t Work had been played out.
New Thoughts, Deeds and Actions can come about and provide the new desired result.
So if we look around us and we don’t like what we see, it doesn’t mean that nothing can be done to change it.
If sufficient numbers act in unison they can Create something commonly acceptable, in the same way that they originally Created something no longer acceptable. |
