For the Artist Who Wants to be Great, Release Your Spirit

To be great, we must choose to be a part of the Great Work.  And what is the Great Work?  The Great work is dedicating our gifts, talents, and creativity to the conscious evolution of humanity. 

To accomplish this successfully, the artist as an entrepreneur must discover how to free the imprisoned spirit through conscious creativity.  With the practice of conscious creativity, as artist we will exhibit our greatness to the world.   Our gifts and talents will function as transforming substance with the power to change our inner world and affect our outer world.

In essence, no artist wants to be ineffective and an artist with the ability to affect his outer world is considered great indeed.  But before any effectiveness can take place, the artist must know his message and have a clear vision for that which he desires to create.

That message and that vision actualize when the artist frees the imprisoned spirit.  The artist as an entrepreneur must be brave.  He or she must be brave to face those unconscious aspects of his or her gifts.  The artist must move these unconscious aspects towards the light so that these gifts can grow and evolve toward expanded awareness.

Dwell in the light and release the spirit and naturally one’s creative work as an artist will be a part of the Great Work.  Moreover, the artist will find that his or her creative work will resonate with humanity because it will lend itself to some revelation about human nature and it will inspire the continuity of creativity.

As such, that same imprisoned spirit released in one artist will influence and inspire the release of the imprisoned spirit in the next artist.  This infectious process demonstrates how the “creator” and the “created” are intertwined in the process of becoming more.  Accordingly they co-arise in what has been co-created together. 

So, if you are wondering why, here at Bluelotusliving.com we emphasize the importance to Let the Spirit Move You, then you now know that we believe that together we can “become more” and co-arise in what we co-create together as artists.  No man is an island and the same is true for the artist.  Every artist needs inspiration.  Inspiration stirs up the gift and unleashes the talent that is in all of us. 

In fact, I would be bold enough to say that I know artists who can go days without food, but I don’t know any artist that can go a day without inspiration.  Inspiration is the pulse of imagination.  Without inspiration, the imagination slips into unconsciousness allow it to be influenced by any outside circumstance that may not serve the vision or message of the artist.

We see it all the time.  An artist loses his or her ability to inspire or be inspired and relies on outside circumstances to stimulate the imagination.  The work that is created by this stimulation seems soulless and unmoving.  It seems soulless and unmoving because the spirit has not been released but instead imprisoned by the artists disconnection with the co-creation process—the interconnectivity of the “creator” and the “created” by inspiration.

Greatness begins and continues to grow when the artist understands and creates with an appreciation of this interconnectivity.
