CREATIVITY
Dear friends,
The month of Elul [coming up Monday night] corresponds to all of the Creation and pre-Creation Processes that the Creator has Created and continues to create….The energy and opportunity therefore of this time zone is Creativity….
In that spirit, please receive some Creativity teachings;
CREATIVITY
Part 1
CREATING
' And G-d said, let us make man in his Image and after His Likeness.....And G-d Created Man in His Image...' [Parsha Bereshit verses 26 & 27].
There’s a voice inside---a voice of creativity—a voice that beckons to be expressed…..this voice is rooted and planted inside of us by the Creator of the Universe—the Creator creates in us -- who are created in His Image—the inner drive to manifest our Divine Image in one of it’s most essential ways—to create—like the Creator….
There is no limit to the creativity energy that we can plug into in every aspect of our lives …Creativity plays a central role in every aspect of our lives, and when properly harnessed, can transform our lives from being a living spiritual and material prison to being a an endless exploration of delightful creative ways of living….
Therefore we begin an exploration—an exploration into the roots of creating ……. We study the Creator’s principles of creating to learn from the Master how to create-….We then synthesize these principles into a creation formula or series of formulas…..We then take the formulas and apply it to our lives…Every aspect of our lives requires our creativity…..
The life applications of Creating are by definition as numerous and varied as life itself ….Some realms that we may explore are the creative ways of healing and interpersonal zing and learning and attracting abundance and influencing and solutionizing and manifesting and bonding and artistically expressing and connecting to Torah and Hashem and our lives….
The roots of the creating process are to be drawn from the Divine Creation Process itself…Our exploration involves understanding how the wisdom of the Divine Creation processes can be utilized in our own creative processes….before we bring some examples of these root creative processes that we can begin to meditate on, I want to bring what I believe to be a very important principle –the necessary initial step in any creative process;
*******A RESPONSE TO A LACK OR NEED------------The Creator created the Creation in all of His many-varied ways as a RESPONSE TO THE NEED to have a relationship with his Created Beings [we learn that the greater and clearer and more profound the need, the greater and clearer and more profound will be the creative response]……….Focus firstly on all how various creative life activities that you are presently involved in, are in response to their specific needs---try to identify that need and see if it’s in sync with your creative response and how you can improve the response\ need power………Next focus on your favorite creative activity and reexamine your need to see if you are truly connected to it in a true and profound way….then, once you’ve truly connected to what you want and need, then allow answers or/ & directions from Above to come into your mind and resonate with the directions that suit you best……
My suggestion is that for each of the Divine creative processes that we bring [now in an as yet unexplained list and in the future B’H, in a more explicit way], is to begin to approach these terms with the above RESPONSE /NEED FORMULA….
Here are a few of the Divine Creation processes we will begin to work on ;
1. THE ‘TZIMTZUM’ / CONSTRICTION-EXPANSION PROCESS-----tapping into the creative dynamic of constricting in order to expand
2. THE MICROCOSMIC PROCESS------tapping into the creative dynamic of relating to all that’s outside of us as actually being inside of us
3. THE 4 SUPERNAL WORLDS------tapping into the creative dynamic of responding to needs based on fusing with Hashem, thinking out of the box, associating new ideas with older ones, the art of ‘doing’ and ‘closing’
4. THE TIKUN PROCESS------tapping into the creative dynamics of encapsulating creative energy, making order out of chaos, collecting the lost parts of your soul [ ‘sparks-ing’] and restoring order, sanity and flow , healing and harmony into life….
5. THE DIVINE HIDE AND SEEK PROCESS----------tapping into the creative dynamic of revealing G-d in all aspects of life and a world where by definition, He is hidden [the word Olam/World means hidden]
6. THE UNIFICATION OF MALE AND FEMALE PROCESS------tapping into the creative dynamic of reuniting on the inside and outside the male and female paradigms that comprise the total human experience
7. THE SEFIROTIC PROCESS------tapping into the creative dynamic of awakening and harmonizing all the processes and structures that make up our lives
8. THE RETURN TO THE GARDEN PROCESS------tapping into the creative dynamic of returning to a state of bliss uniting the ultimate expression of ourselves with the ultimate self-nullification to G-d
Blessings,
Yitzchak
