Subject: “A Creative Process.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “External circumstances may not be under your control and many times this in fact is the case, but the internal circumstances – the way in which you reflect on your reality – are always under your control. Some people choose to focus only on what they lose when their false needs and expectations fail to be satisfied. For them life is hard indeed. They could also choose to consider their lives as a journey of self-discovery where they can encounter the eternal truths through the experiences of life. They might well choose to make their lives the adventures that transform mortals into eternal beings. This is quite irrelevant to the situation of what happens around one. Each can choose how to react to whatever happens to them. This is the greatest freedom of human will – the ability to choose your own destiny and become the architect of your own salvation.
“Many of you are trapped in the lie of success. Obtaining material rewards has nothing to do with eternal achievements. Does this mean that it is better to do nothing and just live on government welfare? No, because human beings are happier when they actively participate in creation – when they are being creative – thus expressing their true nature. You should endeavor to make your life a creative process, a journey that uses your talents to produce something good for you and for others. Wherever you are and whatever you do, you can create something.
“Be creators right there where you are. If your task is to clean the streets then create a clean and welcoming space for you and your neighbors. If your task is to raise your children, do your best to be a better life example, to inspire them to live with intent, and to explore their eternal potential. If you work in an office, perform your job in loving service toward your peers. Can you imagine other ways of making a living? Sure you can! Then you should also be able to imagine many other ways in which to serve your brothers and sisters through your work, and by means of your creative power.
“Even casual encounters in your world are opportunities to create. You can choose how you will relate to strangers. In time they may become your best friends, and the best teachers in your life, because if God is within each one of us, are we not teachers as well as students?
“Once you have ‘awoken from the dream of this material life’ you will be better able to appreciate the opportunities of mortal life, but by then it will be too late. Learn to appreciate these opportunities during your current life, but you have to decide to experience them in order to know them. If you reject or ignore opportunities by choosing to remain in your comfort zone, or because of a limited vision of reality, you may not realize what you have lost until it is too late.”
