The Source – The Creative Intelligence

Unfolding your unlimited potential

 

 

We have the potential to consciously connect to the intelligence that created this wondrous universe. I experience this creative intelligence in so many ways in my life and I am in awe and wonder how this all works. In this article I love to share some of it with you.

 

 

Let me start with an example on a small scale. A den of little ants (about 3mm long) was located approximately 10 meters from my bungalow on the beach of a paradisiacal island in Malaysia. If we compare the size of the ants with the average size of a human being, this distance would be 6km for the human being. I put a little piece of non smelling sweet on my balcony and after 1 minute the first group of ants started arriving, and after 3 minutes it was crowded. How are these tiny ants so precisely acting by their natural intelligence? Isn’t this amazing in every way? They have a brain smaller then a pin-head and we have these huge very well wired brains. I was thinking: being creatures from the same source of intelligence, would it be also possible for us to be so precise and natural in our action? What would be the force… the source in all this stunning intelligence? The view had really caught my attention deeply.

 

 

Sitting on my porch in that paradisiacal environment, after that seemingly simple occurrence , I listened to audio books of Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra. Wonderful and inspiring!

Especially Wayne Dyer’s the power of intention inspired me greatly. Wayne Dyer succeeds in putting it all together in an amazingly brilliant way. What I was listening to, just pierced my heart and was flowing right through me. So timely!

 

I want to share with you some of the insights I got about:

  •  How to consciously connect with the Source

  •  A vision of our unlimited creativity and potential

  •  What are the main characteristics of the Source

  •  How to apply it in our lives.

 

The importance of meditation

 

All the great beings (Spiritual Masters/Teachers), emphasize the importance of meditation. Meditation is a powerful method that may open consciousness right to the moment (free from past and future), and its boundless potential…. and even beyond….. We may experience something much greater then yourself. Our awareness may expand and by grace realize the oneness with the Source and therefore we are a ‘co-creator’ with creative intelligence. Where we may have been grasping in the dark, a ‘guiding light’ may come to our awareness like an inner guide. From here, the law of God Action starts working in its awesome ways:

 

When you follow the Law of God Action,

you will naturally use the law of attraction

to draw into your space everything you need

in every moment

without even trying to.

 

That is because the universe has a plan for you

and by aligning yourself with that plan,

you will synchronize your actions

with the divine flow of events.

 

You will find yourself doing the right thing

at the right time, in the right place

where the resources or opportunities you require

are already arranged to be there.

You simply step right in.

 

Quotation from Law of God Action by E.Tan

 

Doing the right thing at the right time

This doing the right thing at the right time and in the right place is very important. I have written an article about spiritual astrology, which shows that everybody has his/her own unique potential and their lessons to learn in life. The cosmic energy, influencing us, is changing all the time; in astrology we call that the transits. In this way there are benevolent periods in which all seems to flow and our creativity is abundant, but also times in which we can learn important lessons (easy lessons if we go with this cosmic energy, difficult if we try to resist the necessary changes in our lives).

I have given several examples on this website, but this subject is so important that I will give one more example on how this worked out during these last days. Jivanjili asked me if I could do something with the many pictures she had from her spiritual journey with her students through Egypt. Although I had other chores, like filling out my tax papers, I immediately felt a strong ‘yes’ inside. I made a selection of the many pictures she had provided and started to enhance them. Sorting out the many images went like ‘by itself’, no doubting, picking or choosing, all went just in one flow. From the pictures I made a slideshow, in every step I felt so guided. I worked from 9 AM in the morning till 1 AM at night at the computer and I felt as fresh as when I started.

The next day I finished and uploaded this show in the same flow of action. See: Sands of Time.

Note: external links will open in a new window (tab)

 

I ended this slideshow with photos of Mount Sinai in Egypt, the place where this whole website started more then a year ago. Looking back at how this website started, I stood again in awe and wonder. When this voice asked me to start writing I was thinking: "Me? And about what?" etc. But look now what has manifested since I started listening to that inner voice. Yes Patanjili is absolutely right; see the quote next with the picture below.

Looking at my own cosmic energy of that day (my transit) it was exactly a spiritual journey transit, which has to be expressed (Jupiter sextile Mars) and I uploaded this slideshow exactly at the minute precisely at the maximum of this transit. I felt so excited and incredible blessed and everybody seems to love it too!

 

Jivanjili sent me a brilliant and so far unpublished article of ShantiMayi about spiritual love and the shift of consciousness on this planet. I asked ShantiMayi for permission to publish it on this website, which I got immediately. After illustrating and uploading the article I looked again in my transits and saw exactly at that moment the maximum of a spiritual love transit (Jupiter conjunct Venus) had occurred. I didn’t know before that I had these both transits, because I don’t want to be mentally influenced by it. The energy itself must call me (and did!) and I listened to it and that is the whole secret.

 

The next day I ‘heard’ the Source saying: "And now write about this creative intelligence" and here it is.

 

A new, great, and wonderful world

 

Being in such a creative flow and knowing that these articles may reach millions of people all over the world fills my heart with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude.

This is a striking example of the uttermost importance to follow immediately your inner voice or divine guidance. If you do it, this guidance will become clearer and more precise. It also shows that everything needed will show up at the right time. There are unlimited possibilities.

I like to give some quotations of Pantanjali, Rumi and the Upanishads, which give a vision of these unlimited possibilities.

 

Patanjali, the compiler of the Yoga Sutras,

expresses these unlimited possibilities in a magnificent way:

 

“When you are inspired by some great purpose,

some extraordinary project,

all your thoughts break their bonds:

Your mind transcends limitations,

your consciousness expands in every direction,

and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.

 

Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive,

and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far

than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

 

This is my ‘leitmotiv’ on my ongoing spiritual journeys.

 

Divine guidance – How may I serve?

 

Wayne Dyer mentions several times in his writings that it is important to ask the Source sincerely from your heart : “How may I serve” And if you stay open and receptive, without expectations, you will start receiving this divine guidance. Also in its turn the Source will ask you: “How may I serve you?” And whatsoever you ask for is given mostly immediately and in abundance.

 

I highly recommend Wayne Dyer book: The Power of Intention. He guides us step by step in finding our destiny and fulfilling your potential, as this poem of Rumi (a famous Sufi mystic) expresses so beautifully:

 

Click on the picture to enlarge

 

You were born with potential.

You were born with goodness and trust.

You were born with ideals and dreams.

You were born with greatness.

You were born with wings.

You are not meant for crawling, so don't.

You have wings.

Learn to use them and fly.

 

 

The Source will be of help in everyway. Therefore if we think that something is not possible, then it will not be possible. According to Wayne Dyer Rumi’s poem will then change in:

 

You are an accident of nature.

You are subject to the laws of luck and chance.

You can be pushed around easily.

Your dreams are meaningless.

You were meant to live an ordinary life.

You have no wings.

So forget about flying and keep on crawling the earth.

(Wayne Dyer)- Note: slightly changed by Deva Deep.

 

So it is all up to you.

 

 

The Ultimate Adventure

 

For the last quote of these series I like to give one from the ancient spiritual wisdom of the Upanishads1, which seem to come to us from the very dawn of time. These great seers (Rishis2) have spoken to us to inspire us.

 

What makes a human being dare the impossible?

What fires the will when we glimpse something never done before

and a wild urge surges up to cry: "Then let's do it"?

The sages would say: "Just to reach for the highest”.

 

Human beings cannot live without challenge. We cannot live without meaning.

Everything ever achieved we owe to this inexplicable urge to reach beyond our grasp,

do the impossible, know the unknown.

 

The Upanishads would say this urge is part of our evolutionary heritage, given to us for the ultimate adventure: to discover for certain who we are, what the universe is, and what is the significance of the brief drama of life and death we play out against the backdrop of eternity.

In haunting words, the Brihadaranyaka3 declares:

 

You are what your deep, driving desire is.

As your desire is, so is your will.

As your will is, so is your deed.

As your deed is, so is your destiny.

(Brihadaranyaka iv.4.5)

 

(Quote from the book The Upanishads by Eknath Easwaran).

 

1. The Upanishads are ancient, sacred texts that form the final part of Hindu religious thought. The Sanskrit word ‘Upanishad’ literally means ‘to sit at the feet of a master to receive instruction’.

2. A rishi denotes an ever exploring representative of God, a "seer of Truth" or "shaman" to whom Wisdom has been revealed" through states of higher consciousness.

3. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is one of the older, ‘primary’ Upanishads.

 

 

Some of the main characteristic of this Creative Intelligence

 

If you want to be consciously connected to this creative intelligence and be a co-creator with it, then it is important to understand and apply some of its main characteristics in your life.

 

1. Creativity

 

This is of course VERY obvious, because this creative intelligence creates all phenomena at all times in abundance everywhere and all around.  Therefore being creative is becoming a co-creator with this divine creative force. I have mentioned this on many places on this website, but this article of Osho about Creativity is a great culmination of it.

Quote:

Each man comes into this world with a specific destiny –

he has something to fulfill,

some message has to be delivered,

some work has to be completed.

You are not here accidentally –

you are here meaningfully.

There is a purpose behind you.

The Whole intends to do something through you.

 

A single creative act has the potential to feed a continent (C.P. Estes)

 

 

C.P. Estes symbolizes creativity as a great underground river,

which finds its estuaries and branches in our psyche.

 

A single creative act has the potential to feed a continent. One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone. For this reason, a woman's creative ability is her most valuable asset, for it gives outwardly and it feeds her inwardly at every level: psychic, spiritual, mental, emotive, and economic.

(Quote from C.P. Estes: Women who run with the wolves. This book is like books of Wayne Dyer a million-copy bestseller. It addresses the women, but also for man there are a lot interesting subjects. It helps also us man to understand women better.

 

Creativity emerges from a wide open and loving heart. Such a heart is ignited by an unspeakable non-dual potential and expresses in infinite ways, shapes and forms. Such a heart is simply overflowing and expresses itself choiceless and completely impersonal.  

Creativity is not a solitary movement. By this is meant… creativity brings about a chain, a flow of creativity, ever changing, ever evolving. That is its power. Whatever is touched, whomever listens, sees and senses, is fed by this creative power. Ever coming, ever going…. Like the waves in the ocean, on and on….

 

2. Kindness

 

The insight of the quality that brings about kindness has been very important for me. It is an example of even one sentence that is able to penetrate ones heart profoundly.  It changed my life, so to speak. This is the sentence: “Do you want to be kind or do you want to be right?” (Wayne Dyer)

After hearing in Malaysia a part of Wayne Dyer's audio book about kindness, I made a conscious decision to be as kind as possible. And wow this turned out to work miraculous. It is a self reinforcing process. Because what you send out will be reflected to you. Experiments have show that every act of kindness boost your immune system and increases your serotonin (happiness hormone) level, but not only yours, also that of the receiver and even of the watcher of an act of kindness. Wayne gives some heart touching examples in his book, how seemingly small acts of kindness can cause great effects.

 

3. Love

 

I recommend this brilliant article  ShantiMayi: Love Changes One And All  Here a quote from it:

 

When we consider what we truly want,

and that desire leads us to our heart

then everything that you need to know

comes streaming into your awareness.

 

Be patient and tenacious,

the world is being initiated into

higher states of consciousness…

 

You are part of the circle of life.

To fearlessly open your heart,

is a leap into participation.

 

We are, right now, in the midst of

a shift in consciousness on this planet,

love and gratitude are the sure keys to success.

(ShantiMayi)

 

Meditation on Loving-kindness or Mettā meditation.

 

To experience these qualities of love and kindness in your life, I can recommend  the Mettā meditation.

Mettā has been translated as loving-kindness, friendliness, benevolence, amity, friendship, good will, kindness, love, sympathy, and active interest in others.

The object of mettā meditation (taught by the Buddha) is loving kindness (love without attachment or unconditional love). Traditionally, the practice begins with the meditators cultivating loving kindness towards themselves, then their loved ones, friends, teachers, strangers, enemies, and finally towards all sentient beings.

 

To put it into its context, Loving-kindness is the first of a series of meditations that produce four qualities of love: Friendliness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity.

The quality of 'friendliness' is expressed as warmth that reaches out and embraces others.

When loving-kindness practice matures it naturally overflows into compassion, as one empathizes with other people's difficulties. The positive expression of empathy is an appreciation of other people's good qualities or good fortune, or appreciative joy. These series of meditations comes to maturity as 'on-looking equanimity'. So, ultimately you remain kindly disposed and caring toward everybody with an equal spread of loving feelings and acceptance in all situations and relationships.

It is generally felt that those around a mettā-full person will feel more comfortable and happy too.

 

Radiating mettā is thought to contribute to a world of love, peace and happiness.

4. Expansion

 

It is amazing that there is indeed no end to the discoveries and adventures in the inner and outer world (so to speak). We are always finding newer creative ways of expressing and sharing these discoveries.

The whole universe is expanding and expanding and so are we. We are all on this endless and beginningless journey in eternity. All and everything is in complete intelligent interrelation. Changes of perspective or paradigms through the ages have been a sure sign that things are changing, however, as always, the vested interests may attempt to prevent it. This is ‘all in the game’. A striking example is Galileo and the Catholic Church. Nowadays movies as “What the Bleep do we know” shows us how science (quantum physics) and spirituality are merging together in one unified (or zero) field.

The rate of this expansion is accelerating fast, like the expansion of the Universe itself also. This came as a big surprise, contrary to the Big Bang theory in which this expansion must come to an end. Just like a ball which we throw into the air will fall back at a certain point. But that is not happening, just the contrary it is accelerating and ever expanding!

There is no fixed abode… no where to rest and completely boundless by nature.

When I take a moment to contemplate on this, I am getting dizzy. Just imagine for a moment. Just mind blowing...

 

5. Unlimited abundance

 

What is left after the former point?

Indeed, unlimited abundance… no boundaries in the depth of creation.

This is always the most surprising experience for me, this unlimited abundance.

If I ask something from the Source it responds always is such an abundant way. I have said many times to my friends: “Existence is overdoing again”. Whatsoever I wish for is mostly immediately given, oftentimes so abundantly.

To give one simple example: I had an evening here were I used to show spiritual DVDs. One day I had no more DVDs to show. I asked the Source: “Please can you sent me a DVD?”  Within three days forty DVDs arrived in my mailbox. So I really had to say: “Stop, stop this is too much”.

 

So take a moment to reflect about how this works out in your own life.

 

6. A cosmic plan - catch the signs

 

The law of God action tells us that the universe has a plan for you and that it is important to align yourself with that plan. The Source will guide you in its divine wisdom, just catch the signs... and you will be amazed.

I love the book The alchemist, because it is all about finding your destiny and reading the signs. Reading this book can be very insightful.

I highly recommend you to read the essence of the alchemist. It is very revealing and invites us to find our "Personal Myth" and our mission on Earth is the way to find 'God', meaning happiness, fulfillment, and the ultimate 'law' of creation.

It is important to have a sense of direction, a vision, a purpose, because that is the energy which will initiate and propels the whole process. But then let the Source take care of all the details. Stay away from control after you have intended your vision. Control obstructs the flow of creativity and is counter-receptive.The Source knows much better in its divine wisdom. It is of uttermost importance to be receptive to all these hints and signs, which you will receive for sure. Stay open and trust.  

I started this spiritual journey website with these lines: Ultimately listening to your inner voice will reveal your destiny in this life and you will become a co-creator with infinite possibilities.

 

7. Attraction

                     (click on the picture to enlarge)

Attraction looks to be one of the fundamental forces of the Source or the universal intelligence.

Nearby and also on a cosmic scale it is impressive to see how this attraction works. The baby is attracted to the mother’s milk… the thirsty one is attracted to the water, the cow is attracted to the grass…the sperm is attracted to the ovum, etc, etc… All phenomena are interrelated by the laws of attraction. Micro cosmos and macro cosmos are of the same creative principle. On a cosmic scale,  thanks to the Hubble Space telescope, many great pictures are taken and secrets have been revealed. Our solar system has been formed by the attraction of cosmic dust into rocks. These rocks colliding again became our planets.

Our moon, which is very essential to the life on earth, has been formed when the earth attracted another planet, which exactly with the right angle has hit the earth and melted together with the earth. One massive part has been thrown into space and that piece became our moon.

Several suns have a companion star like Sirius. This twin star Sirius B can’t be seen by the naked eye, but old civilizations knew about this double star. What is more fascinating even about a third companion star Sirius C, discovered in 1995. These ancients also described the properties of these three stars in detail and told they got this knowledge from aliens. Read this fascinating article about Sirius.

On a real cosmic scale even galaxies with billions of stars are attracted to each other. There are breath-taking images of the Hubble Space telescope of colliding galaxies. Our own galaxy is on a collision course with our neighbor galaxy the Andromeda nebulae, which has hundreds of billions of stars. The Andromeda galaxy is two million light years away, so this cosmic event will happen in the distant future.

 

 

I sincerely hope that this may inspire you to find and fulfill your destiny.

It will lead you to a most rewarding ongoing joyful journey in your life and the ONLY reason worth living for. NOTHING else will fulfill you.

 

I just got this BBC article as immediately response of the Source: "The internet is the most powerful potential source of enlightenment ever created."  This is really amazing, not only that I get all the help I need, but also mostly an immediate response!

 

 At the same moment "I" was writing this article, about the Source, Wayne Dyer wrote on his blog: Since I did come from an invisible energy Source that some call God, or Tao, or Divine mind, then I must be like what I came from. My conclusion about my origination is that I came from Spirit, and my true essence is that I am what I came from. I am a Divine piece of God. I am first and always a spiritual being inextricably connected to my Source of being.

This is a great example of synchronicity.

 

In nine steps to fulfill your potential

you will find a practical guide how to apply some of these principles in your life.

 

In Tao Te Ching a new vision for the world

you see the creative intelligence at work in the world,

expressing itself in vision, passion and greatness.
