Creative Inspiration

A wonderful poem for the uninhibited creative force in you (and me)

Creation is an enigma,
Making paths unknown,
Staring at obscure spaces...

When you express yourself,
Always choose the active voice,
Energy is more stronger and intense,
when you choose to create with conviction...

Energy that is active is felt better,
than an energy that is passive,
It is the frequency and vibration,
that the universe responds,

If you create works of art,
piece of writing,
piece of anything that is you,
create with such boom,
that everybody will stop and notice...

Do not fear ridicule or shame,
as there will always be people,
who will understand your voice ,
and your energy...

Just go with the flow,
Make your own masterpieces,
And live the creation...

Deep Dive-Self Worth

A deeper look at the way we energise our "self worth " 

Self worth is intrinsic; meaning everyone has it and born with it. So it becomes more of an internal process of recognizing your own self worth. To recognize your own self worth; your relationship with your own self has to be analyzed. How you see yourself on a fundamental level as a person when all definitions of who you think you are is stripped away. Self worth resides in your core essence of who you are and does not attach itself to the roles and identities that we take on in life.

What's left is the bare bones of who you are; an individual that is born to enjoy and experience life. I do think in order to recognize our worth we do have to see humans and ourselves from a positive and higher point of view. it is much difficult to understand self worth if you operate and see yourself from a low self esteem or negative perspective of who you are.

 That's why I think its essential to strip away all you think you are and just recognize that you are a spirit having a third dimensional experience. Personally for me; I tend to look at it from a spiritual perspective because it just makes sense to me; but others can also have great self worth without spiritual connotations.

Self worth is also what's left standing when all things in our lives go wrong or we experience breakdowns or difficult challenges in life. if all things that you hold on to dearly is stripped away and you are left with nothing but your dignity, integrity and self worth - a person with a sense of self worth would still feel that life is worth living.

Would still feel that he or she is worthy of happiness and success and not get attached to the failures or the difficulties. So in a sense; self worth gives the person the ability to feel a sense of being ok regardless of what life throws at them. It is a grounding feeling and it gives a lot of strength and resolve to the person in times of difficulty.

The need to be right ?

An outlook on our daily interactions and how we perceive our thoughts to be right always ?

90% of any type of discussion or arguments seems to be centered on how the messages and ideas are being conveyed and expressed than the actual message itself.

I notice this all the time with others and people i tend to have arguments or discussions with. It makes me wonder if the human brain is more wired to receive information that is presented in a manner that emotionally resonates with the person on receiving end. If it does not emotionally register then the information is not accepted into the person's inner sphere even if the information can be useful. 

Lawyers seems to be an expert at delivering terrible or negative information in a positive light or in a way that triggers emotional response forcing the person to abandon the actual message and only focus on "how" the message itself makes the person feel. This could allude to the fact that an actual logical and rational discussion without personal emotional response is impossible in most humans unless you are Spock from the Vulcan planet.

Views and expressions that provoke our own inner belief systems shed light on where we stand with our views. Opposing views shows the boundary of our beliefs and forces us to consider if our views are limiting and if we can do more to expand our consciousness by acknowledging opposite views. Things get more tricky because the Ego is always working as a guard - trying to filter out information and outside threats that can threaten the comfort zones we all build within ourselves. 

The main tool the Ego uses to gain the upper hand is the need to be right. The need to be right narrows the possibilities for expansion because the Ego only serves to protect the host individual and intent on keeping the status quo.

Real acceptance and expansion seems to arrive when we stop identifying with our Ego to be right and look beyond the restrictions and oppositions and accept all that is. This is challenging because being accepting of others views that may oppose our views can feel like we are not standing by our argument and views. 

Nobody likes to feel like their views and opinions do not matter. But there is also a darker feeling of satisfaction to discredit others views in favor of your own views. This is an internal trap; because the emotion of being right still reigns; making the person less objective and more about personal gain.

There is a lot of room and expansion to play around with when people give up their own need to be right. The emotions that accompany the need to be right is an aphrodisiac that even the most learned men and women can fall prey to.

Random thoughts of the narrator

Random thoughts on seclusion and creativity, how these can be a potent force for insightful masterpieces...

It's an amazing world out there
Making every moment live thee
The chaos is untangled with ease
If you have seclusion thee

To be creative is to be a loner
To sit quietly in seclusion
Away from all distractions
Just listening to your own breathing
Observing your own thoughts
Never judging; but allowing
You get to know yourself

Maybe it is the first time you met yourself
Or the many times you knocked
On the door of your soul
seeking answers and guidance...

To make sense of what you feel
and why you feel it
Consuming you
Into greater depths of your soul...

It seems this place always existed
Never outside of yourself
Always within
Whispering smooth encouraging words
Guiding you with no duress...

You find a small morsel of spark
Enough to fuel you into
an abyss of creativity...

Let this random thought merry thee
Live in the hearts of the narrator Ji...
