Let’s go deep on Friday shall we?
We Are All Co-creators…
Whatever your beliefs are on the origins of the Universe and all that exists within it, we must all agree that there seems to be some sort of intelligence built into the system that creates stars and galaxies, the intricate beautiful eyes of a newborn, the clouds in the sky or the intricate beauty, intelligence and humility of a Donna Walker.
Based purely upon some conversations this week with some wonderful clients who believe that it's 'God's work'... here’s a crucial question: “Is this ‘all’ divine will or can we actually ‘control’ our lives?”
OK, so let’s go back to creation 101 for a mo.
You are created from something, and that something is either infinite or derives from nothing. Neither makes sense to us mere humans, so I’m assuming that you are aware that you are some sort of miracle of nature either way.
You could be the result of evolution and lucky 1 in a trillion coincidences, or you could believe that we’re only 3,000 years old, there is no evolution and we’re Adam and Eve’s great (times 10) grandkids. OK, let’s stick to the facts...
So we have some sort of ‘divinity’ built-in. We must be designed and created from something greater than us. There appears to be some sort of intelligent system behind the design (and yes, I’ve read the Blind Watchmaker).
Trees seem to know when to shed their leaves and rekindle. Our own bodies can heal themselves without intervention - when you cut yourself, the body has a system to fix it. Gravity is perfectly balanced to give us seasons and a moon that doesn't fall down.
So it’s fairly clear that ‘we’ didn’t design and build ourselves... and whatever did create humans (and indeed our own consciousness to know we're here) has more intelligence than us, so I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s ‘divine’.
If you disagree with the terminology here, we give footballers Godly status for heaven’s sake, and I’d say the Universe is way more impressive than keepy-uppeys... which brings us onto the concept of control.
Do ‘we’ actually have free will? Do we have any semblance of control over our own lives?
We are part of this incredibly complex and mathematically beautiful Universe. Whatever and however we are and whatever and however we are doing here, we are ‘co-creators’ within it… because we are part of nature and nature creates… as do we: towns and cities, computers, football, music, etc.
So we simply must be ‘divine’, in some respects. We cannot be separate from that which we are created from. We cannot be separate from source.
The leaf is still part of the tree. The water droplet is still part of the ocean. We are divine. We co-create. We are part of that which creates.
So, although we do not control, we are co-creators in the process.
This is why, although we don't know what is going to happen next, we do get to choose how we respond to it.
Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, and Holocaust survivor said, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
This is the key.
Whatever your beliefs on God, these beliefs are yours and you own them. They are thoughts and you own these thoughts. If I choose not to believe in God or your opinions, these are my thoughts and I own them.
Which is right? Who cares. This is the point though. We live in a thought-created reality and it looks real... to us.
Now go and co-create a wonderful weekend - preferably with your loved ones... have a wonderful week... learn heaps, love loads, and pass it on.
