Co-creating with life comes in its purest form when the mind is focused in the present moment. It is at this intersection of present time and free and focused will of the mind that new creative life results.

 

There are two times when we are not in the present moment—one is from living our karma, which is being caught with our past mistakes and misdeeds, and the other is when we are attached to future outcomes. For example, if you have an inner conflict with a critical male in your life, then this conflict can interfere with your creative process by you not having the ability to receive criticism and your project or endeavor would be prematurely terminated.

 

Another example of a creative block is when we are fearful of the outcome our future may bring or we are heavily invested in or committed to a future goal. When the focus is on the end result, then we have become attached, and therefore we have lost our ability to remain in the present moment. We are not free of the attachment placed on our creative endeavors and now have opened ourselves to being caught or manipulated by illusions.

 

 Remember, attachments arise from fear. When we are afraid, our ego attaches to something that is outside of ourselves or outside of our power of influence. We have turned over our will to something that we actually have no power and control. In this case, you may be so focused on the end result of your writing endeavors of published book. You may get caught up in the  belief that you could become a best-selling author and that identity would keep feelings of worthlessness hidden. Because of your convoluted attachments, you have lost the ability to be present in the moment where creativity occurs.

 

We can also manifest through our relationships and creative projects, from a point of being heavily influenced by our past events. All of these types of illusions cloud our ability to create to our potential and to live out our purpose. Our mind races with thoughts, ideas, and dramas, and when inspiration does occur, but under the influence of karmic patterns, it results in a small, repeat manifestation of past behaviors. When you are free of past patterns, this results in a new manifestation, which speaks of true transformation.
