THE CREATIVE PATH by Harry Palmer Before one has studied people for long, it becomes evident that many have forgotten that they are the most sovereign omniscient creators of their own universes. One sees beings who create suffering unknowingly at their own hands and then attempt to explain their suffering by electing the universe as cause. One sees beings who have reduced their own creative power down to the bare whispering of a few pleas for mercy from the fear and pain that fill their days. The penalty they pay for believing their condition is the result of the universe is a fall from grace. They become creatures. They become entrapped in their own bad dreams. They are burdened with limitation, surrounded by challenges; they play the game. And the wordly religious man or woman, pretending some understanding of these matters, but knowing life only as words in a book, can offer them little more than hope for their despair. And so the suffering suffer, living best they can, trying to decide what consequences will kill them and what they might do to survive, and without warning, some Bodhi --an Avatar-- walks through their life and demonstrates such pure acts of loving faith that they suddenly realize; "I AM THE ONE." The presence of a fully realized Avatar creates a resonance in the innermost depth of those prepared to hear, a baroque chord of possibility, and listeners' dream vaults begin to open. They see past the dream and begin to contemplate their own divinity. A milestone in the research of the Avatar materials was the development of a technique that demonstrates that the world one experiences is shaped by one's consciousness and not the other way around. Had the research ended there, it would still stand as a major development in understanding the human condition. As it turned out, this understanding was the gateway to the creative path. And so is reborn the Awakening Master who walks the creative path, the journey from creature to creator. He is the one who knows that even when among enemies, he is in the company of God. He is the one who knows that what increases any man, increases himself. And he allies with others to bear the light where there is darkness.
And with patience and compassion he begins to create a universe of tolerance and love. He listens to the lessons: Never was there anything outside of YOU, never shall there be. a celebration to discover, YOU are the ONE.
