The process of CREATION is thought, to speech, to manifestation. Words are things and words CREATE. You are a CREATOR. What are you CREATING in your life? Did you CREATE a Life Purpose Statement (LPS)? Did you CREATE a Vision Board to organize your life plans? Did you CREATE your Ideal Scene, the written scenario that maps your destiny? Have you taken the time to CREATE your Life Vision? Have you CREATED a Gratitude Journal? Have you CREATED a physical environment that is orderly and peace-filled? Have you CREATED a specific time daily for meditation and stillness? Have you CREATED and recorded your Affirmative Prayers; communion with The Divine? Have you CREATED a program to practice mindfulness? Acts of kindness? Service to others? Have you CREATED and recorded your affirmations? Have you CREATED a space for forgiveness in your heart?

Have you CREATED love and peace in your heart? We CREATE by thinking repetitive thoughts and karma (good or bad), manifests through recurring thought patterns. CREATIVITY transcends karma. In CREATIVITY, a quantum leap occurs and something new and unexpected manifests. We bypass linear time and move to a higher level. Speak only about the things you want for yourself. Speak and write stories of greatness, goodness, and abundance. CREATIVITY is the right use of the imagination. Teaching, healing, and sharing is The Ever-Loving Presence way of CREATING. When we share, we expand our thinking and CREATE with our imagination, CREATING room for more ideas, more abundance, and more possibilities (Isaiah 54:2). CREATE a character that reflects your higher self; Christ-consciousness; God-Consciousness. Use your gifts and talents to CREATE greatness and goodness. To have is to give. Affirm: I have the power to CREATE. I am free and unstoppable. CREATE a life of peace and harmony with self, family, friends, co-workers, community, and the world by making your spiritual practice personal. Peace and Many Blessings.
