"This one is quite volatile in regards to his creativity.
"This is not to say that it is violent, for it is not. We see that it is explosive, however. And we see that this one is attached to explosions of creativity. We see that sometimes this is within bursts of inspiration in regards to concept or ideas. Sometimes it is in regards to emotional bursts of joy or a thrill, or excitement. We see that this is the way in which this one identifies that he is fully alive, that he is complete, that he is a vital creative being.
"We see that as long as this one is attached to this means of identifying himself, this one will find that although there is much that he does create in that way, it is less that what this one is capable of. For we see that when this one is more peaceful or more relaxed there is equally the capacity for creation, and this is foreign to this one. He does not know much about this state.
"We see that it would be of benefit for this one to begin to disassociate the Self from the experience of creation. We see that this one becomes immersed in creation to the point of losing the Self. And we see that this is the degree to which this one is attached to the explosive nature of creation that has been given.
"Would suggest therefore that as this one would transcend or attempt to untangle the Self from the action of creation this one would then be able to identify more fully with the impetus for creation. It is the exploration of this impetus, what brings creation about, that will actually satisfy this one’s urge for discovery and excitement.
"We see that the emotional joy and excitement that this one experiences pale in comparison to what this one will discover. We see that it is actually a poor replacement for what this one is really wanting to experience. But nevertheless it is vital, it is alive, and it gives this one something. Would suggest to this one that this one need not give this up. There is not a sacrifice involved in this one becoming aware of the impetus, but it is a transcendent state, and it will necessitate this one being willing to let go of the attachment in being immersed. And being able to, in essence, rise above and beyond that to an entirely new level of experience. This then will free the creativity within this one to have the kind of broad range that this one desires, and finds at the present time through the explosiveness that has been described.
"You will also relate that which fosters a movement in the energy exchange between the ethereal and the material for the cultivation of genius.
"...We see for this one – that in regards to becoming seated or rooted deeper within the Self – to find a place that is beyond the physical body, the physical senses, to identify the Self with, this might be the concept that this one has of the soul or of the spirit where this one begins to immerse the Self, the consciousness, in this so that then this one can create from this point of view.
"We see that this would alter the way that this one sees the world and experiences creation in a way that would be most delightful to the Self.

Artistic genius. For many people the idea is appealing; for others, it is intimidating. We hear about the stereotypical "crazy artist" who works in a flourish of creative frenzy. The frenetic activity is followed by periods of depression, alcoholism, drugs, or even suicide. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Vincent Van Gogh, Ludwig von Beethoven were all reported to live lives of emotional turmoil accompanying their exquisite artistic genius.
Creative genius can be inspired. It need not go hand-in-hand with mental illness.
Truly creative people are drawing upon divine energies and their lives can reflect this aware state of consciousness. For decades members of the School of Metaphysics have been conducting research into the inner levels of human consciousness. The fruit of this research is well-documented in thousands of Past Life Profiles and Intuitive Health Analyses given throughout the School’s history. These laid the foundation for the intuitive reports given to participants of Spiritual Focus Sessions. These reports are awesome, even to those of us who include intuitive knowledge and practice in our daily lives. They are life transforming, and for that reason they are given only in cooperation with a mentor who accelerates the individual’s comprehension and integration of the intuitive knowledge received.
The Spiritual Focus Session entitled "THE GENIUS CODE" accentuates creative genius enabling you to bring out your highest creativity in a productive manner. An intuitive report assessing how you are presently drawing upon inner creative resources is given. This Creative Mind Report reveals how you can unfold creative genius in your consciousness. The following is an excerpt from a Creative Mind report revealing the connection between true creativity, our nature and connection to the Source of creation:
An artist in his early 20's this man could admit the extremes the intuitive report spoke about. He could see it in his relationships with others, and in his tendency to move from one low paying job to another. His artistic talent was lauded by many, yet the quality of his life left much to be desired in just about every area. There were moments of happiness, success, and pleasure, yet they were inconsistent, leaving the man on an emotional roller coaster that he often retreated from in denial.
He had painted throughout his teenage years and even sold some very large pieces. He had been meditating for three years and practicing concentration and visualization prior to receiving this information. All three laid the foundation for what was given in this Creative Mind Report. Most importantly this report began opening the man's mind to the possibilities of what could be. It gave a clear picture of just how far reaching his creative potential is.
"Would suggest therefore that as this one would transcend or attempt to untangle the Self from the action of creation this one would then be able to identify more fully with the impetus for creation." the report told him. He took those words to heart, and it turned on his brain! As this young man began to consider his life as an artistic piece, his attachment to spontaneous creativity loosened. As he identified his desires he began to understand what the report described as being "seated or rooted deeper within the Self." From this perspective he could consider his life as an artistic piece, seeing the people, places, and events as a series of colors, forms, and expressions of what life means to him and others.
Being sensitive to others, he found the concept of spirit a better way to relate to others. This defused some tension that he had believed to be "creative tension". He had always seen this attitude as necessary to the creative process even when it caused problems in his relationships with others. This began to change as he began to "create from this point of view." He found seeing himself through other's eyes very helpful in this process. Due to his openness, he found acceptance in a romantic relationship, self value through mentoring a young artist, and confidence through trusting those with authority in the areas he felt most deficient in.
Now the man is in Chicago, engaged to be married this fall, making a living from commissioned artwork ranging from murals to book jacket designs. His life is becoming his greatest masterpiece. He is less prone to moodiness, anger and depression, having developed a sense of controlling his own destiny. All of this is altering "the way that this one sees the world and experiences creation in a way that would be most delightful to the Self."
"You will also relate that which fosters a movement in the energy exchange between the ethereal and the material for the cultivation of genius.
"...We see for this one – that in regards to becoming seated or rooted deeper within the Self – to find a place that is beyond the physical body, the physical senses, to identify the Self with, this might be the concept that this one has of the soul or of the spirit where this one begins to immerse the Self, the consciousness, in this so that then this one can create from this point of view.
"We see that this would alter the way that this one sees the world and experiences creation in a way that would be most delightful to the Self.
"Any suggestions on how to immerse the consciousness deeper in the soul?
"Periods of concentration upon attributes that this one would assign to the soul would be of benefit; making the reading material revolve around enlightened masters and ascended states; associating with those who have this type of consciousness or who are actively pursuing it. In any way that this one can fashion the life where this one’s desire would be supported, this would be of great benefit.
"Any activity that this one could pursue on his own such as those that have been given, daily meditation periods, learning how to utilize psychic healing, developing consciously controlled out-of-body experiences, or astral projection, developing and refining telekinesis, telepathy, intuitive skills. All of these ways would be of assistance in exercising the capacities of the soul, becoming aware of what the soul is through the actual experience of the soul." [81097BGC1]
