From Creation to Creator

 In the same way a man must leave the family he came from and go on to create the family that will come from him, is the same way beings on a spiritual path must leave their biological family that they came from and seek their spiritual family.

To the families that have created us, we are its creation. And when you are a creation, it assumes a creator, a higher power. So, there is something that has come before you that is guiding what you become, what you are molded into. The presence of a creator assumes something has been created or is being created. We are usually either operating from the perspective of creation or creator.

As a child, you are a creation; a living creation; a creator in training. You are being created to be able to create more things. And what are human beings of today creating?

The ultimate goal of living things is survival.

Are we creating things that sustain our ability to survive on this planet?

The next goal of living things is to live.

Are we creating things that support and encourage our freedom to LIVE.

There is a difference between surviving and living. A life of survival will lack meaning. And a lack of meaning translates to a lack of will. If you do not have a “why” you will not have a “will”. And if you have a “will” a way will be made.

And a life cannot be lived if it does not exist. Survival is necessary for living. And Living gives you the impetus to survive. For what is your purpose here if you are not seeking to create the circumstances for your highest life form to emerge. You may as well be a cow. You may as well be a plant. You may as well be a blade of grass, or a centipede. Animals survive, for survival’s sake. If that was our purpose, we would not have the faculties that differentiate us from the goats and the pigs, and the frogs and the dogs, and the bird and the fish.

The final goal of living things is to die.

Dying is inevitable, but we can still make it a goal. How do you want to die? What do you want to be said at your funeral? Truly? What do you want to die being and doing? Who do you want to be surrounded by? What kind of people are they? Are these the kind of people that are in your life right now?

Become the creator of your life, and not the creation of other people’s narratives. YOU have the pen, the steering wheel and the vision. You are your first consultant, always. Check in with you, first. Have your back. Be honest with yourself. Hold yourself accountable, especially when it’s difficult to do so. You are your number one project. That is where your focus lies.
