Being the Rose - Opening to a Deeper Creativity

Fall into the beauty

of a rose

and cognize yourself.

If you cannot

love

yourself

you will not

be the rose.

We walk half asleep, experiencing only a little portion of our originative passion, penetration and being. Our vision is by the eyes of the mind, which are project outwards. Creativity, however, is birthed in the cosmic landscape of the interior world, a topographic point to which the mind's eyes are blind, a topographic point belonging to the vision of the bosom and soul. The inquiry is, how make we awaken to the enormousness of knowing contained within.

One manner is through nature. Nature, fully noticed, and entered into with the admiration of children, additions us entree into the unseen world. Another manner is through our authorship or other originative endeavors, but this have limitations. First, this entry is often sporadic. Second, our creativeness be givens to vanish as soon as we set aside our originative endeavor. Nature, on the other hand, is a natural guide. She is a primal mental image for creativity, so olympian that even the Inner Critic darings not dispute her! She infuses us in unseen ways. Often by being one with nature, the interior human race encompasses both our originative attempts and our day-to-day life while shifting our perceptual experience of our topographic point in the world.

In thought about this, I came up with an exercising that I name Being the Rose. I chose the word being with great deliberation... Think about it... how being the rose differs from the mental image and experience of becoming...observing...considering the Rose.

The Exercise:

Look at the exposure of the rose above or happen any flower, it doesn't have got to be a rose, and stare into it until you experience yourself falling out of yourself and into the kernel of the rose. This is kindred to falling from the your mind's eyes into your heart's eyes.

Now dwell on this statement for a minute or two or ten:
The most originative military unit in being is nature...

Your first response will likely be a idea that come ups from your witting mind. Let this thought go, then reiterate the statement, The most originative military unit in being is nature...

Allow the sense of these words to travel an idea into a feeling. (You cannot make this through your mind. Only the interior landscape whose entry is through the bosom will work.) Let mental images to lift up from the unconscious. Bash not throw on to any peculiar image. Let it drift away and ticker new 1s arise.

Now unfastened to the aroma of the rose... Become the scent...

Open to the seeing if the rose... Become the seeing...

Open to the sound of the rose... Become the sound...

Open to the feel of the rose... Become the sensations...

Open to the taste sensation of the rose... Become the taste...

Ask yourself, "When is the last clip I allowed nature to share her creativeness with me?"

"When is the last clip I gave myself over to nature?"

"When was the last clip nature stirred me to passion, quietude, ecstasy?"

Now sit down down and write. Write without thought. Write without expectation.... Write or simply be...
