The Dream Weaver

What does it mean to create? What we call creating, many times is referred to as making something with our hands? If this is true , then before we can make something with our hands, then the idea must be formulated first. Obviously then, what is seen in the physical world is a manifestation of our thoughts.
For something to be true , it must be true all of the time, otherwise results would not be consistent. When we find results that are not consistent it is because we are not looking at what is the same and are trying to establish results with inconsistency. It is obvious to follow then that problems lie within the mind of the person observing, not in inconsistent results. This being the case, then corrections must occur, not within what is seen, but within the one doing the seeing. For this statement to be accurate, then it must be accurate all of the time, not just for specific undertakings.
The creative ability
We carry, within our Being, the most creative force in the Universe. With this force, it is possible to change the Universe at large, but because of our lack of knowledge about this force, we continue to create in a destructive manner and do not realize the implications of the destructive force that has been unleashed by us. That is the bad news. The good news is that we also have the ability to change our thought patterns and unleash a Force for good that has the ability to override all of the destructive patterns that have been unleashed unwittingly by us.
Awareness
Our creative ability lies within the awareness of our mind. Consciousness directs the awareness. Awareness also relies upon consciousness to make a decision. If the information that is held within awareness is faulty, then what emerges is a decision based on two faulty choices. It is the two faulty choices that are in error, not us. We are only trying to come up with a decision based on what we are holding within our awareness, and these choices within our awareness are keeping us inconsistent. This means we are not looking at the truth. If we were, then we would not be inconsistent or feel like we do not have the correct solution.
Creative awareness
It is difficult for us to comprehend that the inconsistency or problem arose out of the ideas that are held within our own awareness. In other words, our mind created the problem and it will expect us to come up with a solution. The problem is that consciousness can only decide based on information that is held within awareness, and if the awareness of the problem is faulty, then the solution will be faulty also. Generally speaking, the faulty process that is held in awareness began before we knew how to make logical decisions, so most of the time when a problem emerges, we are trying to straighten out the past that is in truth being played out in the outer world by our own creative awareness process.
The mind, or where our thinking ability originates, was created to create. It cannot do otherwise, so even in our most unproductive moments of despair, our mind is creating. The problem is that it creates what we do not want just as easily as it creates what we do want. If we look at our own individual world, we can point to the things in our lives that we do not want. How difficult was it to create this? We were not even consciously aware that this was being played out. The only thing that we were really conscious of was the depth of unhappiness that external situations seem to be causing in our lives. The conscious feelings of despair make us feel like we have to do something to make ourselves feel better and so we act on these feelings and try to correct the feeling instead of the thoughts that are causing the feelings.
Motivating feelings
Feelings are what motivate the thought process. They are the fuel that drives us to move. Just like a car, without gas it will not get very far, without our feelings we will not be propelled to take action. This is why we look for passion in what we hope to achieve. It is possible to use this motivation incorrectly. Correctly used, it is action and incorrectly used it is reaction. As stated before, truth only moves in one direction so truth must be the action that occurs before a healthy external outcome occurs. Feelings that we dont like are a reaction to an external circumstance and motivate us towards what we do not like or want and the pattern will continue until a correction is made. When we are acting, solely on a healthy feeling, our external circumstance will indicate this action and we will be motivated towards what we do like and want.
(At a physical level, we are both the actor and reactor when we use the body. So it is only at a physical level that it is possible for us to act or react. The physical body is not our true state. In our True State, we only act. Because it is the creative process that is being addressed, I am not addressing the physical body because the body is a vehicle for the creative process, not the process in itself. I am pointing to the place where error can and must be corrected, which is in the awareness that has long been forgotten for the belief that consciousness is all. Reaction is a result of action and this fact cannot be disputed. This is not wrong or right, it just means that it happens. Using a physical body also affords us an opportunity to force or manipulate form. When this is done without unhealthy feelings, it is neutral and can be action or reaction, as in playing a game. When it is done with feelings of malice, it is destructive, and the world as well as ourselves, will pay the price.)
Feelings that have occurred, based on a decision made in the past, still hold that association and when we encounter a like association, the feelings that first arose out of the original association have an impact on what is occurring in the present. In other words, events from the past shape our intent now. If the events in the past were learned in error, then our intent will be faulty also. A faulty intent gets us faulty results. Or, our passion has been corrupted by a faulty motivating feeling, and until correction occurs, our passion or our creative ability cannot be honored by the creative process. We all have experienced this. Everything seems to be going along great, and then boom, out of the blue everything falls apart. The reason for this is that a corrupted feeling has corrupted the creative process that shared is with God. What is shared by God is not corrupt and this includes our motivating feelings. It is now up to us to recognize that we have a corrupted feeling that has impaired our motivation (or impure gas) that is preventing us from sharing our passion. Otherwise we will continue to try to beat down the creative door, and it will not let us in until a correction is made. This is the case even if we seem to think our intention is pure. What is not pure, cannot be deemed so by the One Who Sees and knows all, unless it is backed by truth. Truth is not constructive unless it is truth that is shared with God.
The Dream Weaver
Is there such a thing as a Dream Weaver? Another way of asking is to ask if what is occurring in this world is real. Is it possible for what is occurring in the world to also be occurring in Heaven or eternity, or is it only what is in our mind that is being played on in the arena of time? Is our awareness creative enough to see something that is impossible to exist? For if it is real, it must also exist in the Realm of Heaven, for this is where reality originates from.
The Dream Weaver will help us to see whatever we choose to see. The Dream Weaver is relying on our feelings to weave our physical reality. So it is up to us to choose what we want to see. What is unseen by physical eyes tells the story of what is seen by those eyes. The Dream Weaver will show us what we want to see.
