Create More Love!
You can only use the true essence of your creative power when you are living as your true and authentic self. As you live in truth and authenticity of who you really are, your creative power allows you to attract, build, and maintain empowering and fulfilling relationships.
With this truth, one can easily realize that there are no limits to what you can create in your life when you develop the Visionary’s Insight. It is the Visionary’s Insight which sees beyond the dysfunctions of the Matrix and its programs and knows that when consciousness flows, creative power grows, and when creative power flows we are able to build the charisma and magnetism required to attract functional, empowering, and fulfilling relationships.
The programs and systems of the Matrix have miseducated us on the purpose of relationships. Relationships are meant to empower the Soul and fulfill our lives. Volatile and turbulent relationships marked by unnecessary drama leave us with traumatic emotional scars. And these scars will require more of our life-force energy in order to heal.
Many among us have wasted a lot of life-force energy trying to heal from turbulent, stressful, and volatile relationships we have attracted and held on to in our lives. Don’t waste your life-force energy and creative power on turbulent and toxic relationships. You can attract and manifest empowering and fulfilling relationships that don’t zap your creative power but add to your creative energy through the power of inspiration and unconditional love.
An empowering and fulfilling relationship can be a powerful source of inspiration in our lives. This inspiration can move us creatively as we live our lives because with this inspiration comes the fuel of unconditional love—love that is not weighed down by the conditions, fetters, and illusions of the ego.
When we get a taste of a fulfilling relationship, we know what it can do for our Soul. The sweetness of its nectar is nourishing to our hearts. It does not confuse us and leave us scarred and dismayed, but rather it is good to the Soul and it allows the Creative Spirit to move us.
The Visionary’s Insight can see beyond the Matrix and knows how to function in, build, and grow fulfilling relationships. The vibrational frequency of unconditional love and devotion flows from our creative power and nurtures our lives.
The ego will settle for co-dependent relationships, but the true and authentic self desires relationships that are built on love and devotion. The true and authentic self doesn’t want to hide behind things but it wants to express who you really are to those in your life.
Too many people have developed co-dependent relationships. But when we use our creative power to attract and build empowering and fulfilling relationship, we can stand as one as well as be one in our relationships. Oneness and devotion no longer frightens us, but we look forward to it because we know that Oneness is the way of the ALL-mighty which lives in and through us all. In an empowering and fulfilling relationship built by creative power we can see the God in others and those in or lives can see the God in us.
Be Still. I AM God!
A dream is but a desire you have had in your heart for a period of time. We all have desires and dreams. Our dreams and desires can manifest spontaneously when we restore our mind power and listen to the voice of our Soul as it guides us with inspired action.
Of course, this requires that we “Be Still and Know that I AM God.” Do we know that I AM power which is God or have we become so addicted to turbulence, noise, and drama that we fear the very idea of stillness? The great Yogis and Sages teach us that if you are going to chase one thing, then chase everything. And family, we are here to tell you that you will run out of gas for sure.
And at some point in this holographic time-space-reality network we all get tired as our Souls beckon for peace. Our soul beckons for peace because the Soul knows that when we are still, we enter the field of pure consciousness and in this field all things are possible when we knowingly believe. The Oracle Within guides us and our dreams manifest spontaneously.
When we create from the field of pure consciousness, there is no need to chase a dream to manifest a dream. There is no need to chase a desire to actualize it in your life. You are infinite creative potential ready to be activated when you learn to “Be Still and Know that I AM God.”
And who or what is this I AM. As you unplug from the Matrix and its exhausting programs and systems, you develop a Visionary’s Insight which allows you to see that I AM God. I AM is all that it is and I AM is all around you. I AM is in you as you and as us.
I AM is the one. I AM is oneness. So be still and know I AM.
It is the fear of those who have benefited most from the Matrix and its programs and systems that you will learn stillness and silence. And this collective unconsciousness breeds and feeds on our exhaustion as we chase and chase and chase. Your Soul cannot function in this exhaustion and because of the turbulence and noise and dysfunction we can’t hear the voice of the Soul.
It is the fear of the ego which only knows how to operate in the Matrix and its systems that you become still and silent. So, the ego creates drama for you to act out and stress for you to live in. The ego fears the light and it fears being light. It limits expectations and possibilities for greatness. But your Soul wants to be free.
And family, when you are free, you are free indeed. When you are free, you can hear the voice of your Soul guiding you to greatness. You are no longer weighed down by the fetters of the ego. You are free to reveal the light and luminosity of your Soul. You are free to share that light with the world. Like the Blue Lotus you rise up with the Morning Star and you live your life in full bloom.
Meditate to Create!
We create in silence and meditation and we stir the energies for the manifestation process. It is hard for some people to practice the art of silence and meditation, but silence and meditation is essential for the use of our infinite creative potential.
In our society, many have become addicted to emotional and mental turbulence. We feel like we really have a life when things are loud and turbulent. Unfortunately, silence has become equated with boredom. And for this very reason, we have more stressed-out people in the world than ever before.
The truth is, we may not be as stressed as we think. In fact, we just may need a little silence.
And silence is what we can get when we unplug from the useless systems and programs of the Matrix. When we unplug from the programs and systems of the Matrix and its counterproductive effect on our ability to create the life we want to live, we find that we can activate our infinite creative potential and transform it into infinite creative energy. This is accomplished through the practice of silence and meditation.
Silence and meditation allows us to cleanse the subconscious debris of counterproductive thoughts and thought forms. Like a mental detoxification, we are then “empty to be refilled.” We are liberated.
As we empty our minds, we can reload and restore productive mental imagery which works with pure consciousness in the creation and manifestation process. Productive mental imagery then activates our infinite creative potential and turns it into creative energy. When this creative energy is used, it becomes creative power which has the volition to manifest our most focused intentions.
Silence and meditation also activates our infinite creative potential for creative energy because the yoke of resistance are broken and energy (creative energy) always follows the path of least resistance. This is why it is important to “purpose” your intentions. Purpose intentions are not weighed down and held back by resistance.
And how can we undoubtedly know we are resisting. Stress is the signal. Stress and turbulence is always the signal of resistance. Our infinite creative energy cannot flow and become power where there is resistance. Silence and meditation make us aware of what and where the resistance is and through our Oracle Within, we discover what inspired action to take to unblock the flow.
All to often we are told we need to add something to ourselves in order to become our true and authentic self. However, those of us who have grown on the path of enlightenment have discovered that it is nothing we need to add to ourselves but what we need unload to make room to reload and restore what we’ve already had.
Silence and meditation is not only detoxifying but it is replenishing. What we replenish and restore is the infinite creative power we require to create the life we desire to live.

We all have to find the motivation and inspiration to live life on purpose. The power to will and co-create our reality is living with purpose on purpose.
The decision to co-create your reality rather than be a victim of circumstance or a child of chance can be difficult when the world around you tells you that its systems and customs are the only way to achieve success in life. When one decides to co-create their reality, he or she has to 
re-evaluate goals, intentions, and desires while focusing on what really matters in life.
Often times, when one says the word “purpose” some people get frantic and wonder, “how do I know what my purpose is.” At Blue Lotus Living, we answer this very simply, “You give your life purpose.”
And just what do we mean by “you give your life purpose?” Life purpose is the child or offspring to the Soul Purpose. Our Soul Purpose is to expand, create, cultivate, and enrich life by becoming more of who we really are and what we really are in our truest nature is abundance and infinite creative power. That’s who we are. Therefore, as we go through our life, we discover purpose for our life force energy—yes we purpose our creative power. We accomplish this by probing our lives and determining what brings us joy and elation, how we want to serve humanity, and how do we want to expand life on this plane of existence.
Although teachings and information can inspire us and inform us about our power, no one else can give us the answers to these questions. We must desire to know and through our desire we will determine these answers for ourselves.
Accordingly, at Blue Lotus Living, it has never been the desire or intention of our community to determine these answers for anyone but rather to inform people and inspire people to desire to know these answers for themselves without the influence of others (that includes us). We want you to know your power as a co-creator.
It is for this reason we call our community Blue Lotus Living. We call it Blue Lotus Living because we hope that what we share will help everyone to rise up and live life in full bloom and his requires that one knows that he or she is infinite creative power and abundance.
If we all live this way and let this be our reality and continue to allow inspiration to flow through us from the Creative Spirit, then we will find that The Most High Source of ALL Creation cannot be separate from us and through this realization (the only reality there is—the Absolute Reality) we discover our true power and just how infinite this power is.
It’s easy enough to dream and plan according to the systems, customs, and cultures our society has already put in place, but it takes great courage, desire, and determination to live as a co-creator and maintain the motivation to live life on purpose. I do not in any way seek to minimize the importance of dreams and aspirations because it is when we do not limit our dreams and aspirations that we are living as co-creators.
However, we must be brave enough to expand our dreams, plans, and aspirations beyond the limitations of our systems, cultures, and customs. Your dreams and visions cannot be limited to the house you own, the car you drive, and where you vacation twice a year. These are but simple perks of manifestation resulting from living on purpose. If we look deeper within ourselves and listen to the voice of the soul, we will realize that these simple manifestations of focused intentions are not the dream itself. Often times when we limit our dreams and life aspirations to these simple manifestations, we suffer from discontent, and despair.
At Blue Lotus Living, we are always hoping that through our writings and teachings, we are inspiring people to dream big and then dream bigger and just when it seems like you realized the biggest dream ever, you dream even bigger than that and actualize it. This ever-increasing power to actualize one’s dreams is expansion and expansion is living a limitless life with unlimited possibilities.
As we share workshops, performances, writings, and teachings, Roslyn and I hope that every person can see their own unlimited and infinite possibilities. For it is in the realm of infinite possibilities that we create life as co-creators with and as the Source of ALL Creation works through us as Willing Vessels.
So let’s live beyond the limitations of our societal systems and really invoke and evoke our power as co-creators all while allowing the Creative Spirit to move us on purpose.
Being an Entrepreneur is one of those gifts we all have access to if we develop our skills in areas of productivity and creativity. As a Holistic Creative Entrepreneur, I have discovered that productivity and creativity are the basic essentials for success in any field of business.
Since we’ve re-established Blue Lotus Living, productivity and creativity have been the focus of everything involved with our business model. Our business model is that of internet publishing (blogging, social networking, link-exchange, digital products…) and with internet publishing you have to be creative and productive on a daily basis.
Yes, here in the blogosphere and cyberworld, you have to utilize productivity and creativity daily because things are constantly changing. Do you know how many times I go to the administration area of our site to find out I need to upgrade a plugin? But this is what entrepreneurs do; we have to stay on top of things. We have to know the latest innovation.
With this in mind, I wanted to share with you today some skills necessary to promote productivity and creativity in your business or career. And let me make it very clear, productivity and creativity is necessary even if you are “hired” by someone else.
Some skills necessary to enhance your productivity and creativity for good business sake are:
1. Innovation
Innovation is not unique to the entrepreneur, but it is most definitely required. Innovation is spawn from the creativity and the execution of one’s witty ideas. It is always good to be an innovator instead of an imitator. Innovation is the ability to use creative energy and channel original ideas which become something unique.
For instance, as I have become more and more involved in the internet publishing or e-publishing industry, I have learned the necessity of innovation. We live in an age of the Global Economy and The Age of Information (an overlapping gumbo of an age you can say). Because information can be transmitted with the touch of a button, we are consuming more information than ever and we are consuming it quickly. Those who are succeeding online are staying on top of ways to meet the demand for information. They are staying on top of ways to get information out quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
And if you don’t think you have great ideas, that doesn’t mean you are not meant to be an entrepreneur. Innovators also know how to capitalize on a great idea. A few moments ago, I told you about how I always have to update my plugins for this site. Well, this site is powered by www.wordpress.com, but many different people have developed the plugins I use for this site. That’s still innovation. I may not have “invented the internet,” but I sure am finding wonderful and innovative ways to use it to promote and establish a luminous and beautiful community and company called Blue Lotus Living.
2. Passion
Few people believe it, but we got to keep saying it. “Do what you love and the money will follow.” I tell you the truth, you will be amazed at the amount of energy you can muster when you are doing what you love. And that energy which will take you so much farther than ambition and drive is called Passion.
It is very difficult to be passionate and enthusiastic about anything you don’t love. Moreover, it is difficult to be productive and creative if you are not passionate about what you are doing. Again, ambition can only take you so far.
Passion puts the intensity in your intentions. Those among us who understand how the Law of Attraction works also know that your intentions are critical to the manifestation process. The intensity behind your intentions are fueled by love and passion. Productivity and creativity follow this passions.
And how can passion be a skill, you might ask? Passion becomes as skill when we use it as vehemence. Vehemence has force as in influence. And in this context of influence we mean the ability to effect something. For this reason, passion is very important in helping you enhance your skills for creativity and productivity.
If you are not passionate about what you are doing, you will not have a passionate staff or passionate subordinates and you most certainly will not have passionate consumers or clients.
For instance, before I left New Orleans, I was told that an associate of mine was stepping down as Executive Director of her Community Based Organization. She had been providing Substance Abuse Counseling services to HIV/AIDS clients for over 14 years. After leaving, she opened a small but elegant Night Club in a more up and coming neighborhood in New Orleans.
She was met with a lot of criticism because people felt she had turned her back on the community. After running into her daughter, a few months after she opened the club, I asked about her. Her daughter said that her mom stepped down because she was tired. She wanted the services to continue but she no longer had the passion for it.
“Mama wants to be around music and laughter at this point in her life. She’s 47 and she has been doing community work and activism since she was 19,” her daughter told me. “She has a new passion now. I wish people would stop dogging her about it. She’s happy.”
I fully understood and I told her daughter to tell my former associate that I wished her well. There is nothing productive nor can anyone be creative if they continue to do a thing they are no longer passionate about. You know longer have influence when you are doing something for which you no longer have the passion to do.
Are there ways to stir up your passion again? Of course there are. Some great ways to stir up your passion are:
- Return to your purpose and intentions. Why did you begin to do the thing you are doing in the first place? Think about how you would feel if you could no longer do it. Ask yourself, if you are resisting some sort of necessary change or transformation which has caused you to lose your passion. Again, this will take you back to purpose.
- Find ways you can make things new and fresh again. Is there something you haven’t tried? Is there something you haven’t tried a different way?
- Associated with others who are interested and passionate about the thing you are doing. Passion can be contagious.
- Walk away for a while and see how you feel before making a drastic decision. We all need a break.
3. Attention and Focus
Some of us have developed a short attention span for everything but what “entertains” us. Developing our ability to focus and pay close attention to what is truly important in our lives has now become an arduous task for many. It has become a task because of the vast number of distractions or “dis-attractions that we have in our lives. The average home in Western cultures has at least 3 televisions. Then you have iPods, cellular phones, 200 Apps on the cell phone, video games, tons of DVDs and CD, computers, and computer games.
When was he last time you sat in a room other than the bathroom quietly for 15 minutes with no television, no phone, no computer, or any other gadgets? Hmm…Can’t remember?
Sometimes in order to get our focus back and to start paying attention to what really matters in life, we need to detoxify from our distractions. Yes, all these things serve their purpose and have become important in the day to day tasks in our lives, but we still have to put all the stuff away at times in order to keep our footing in life. Most importantly, we must pay attention to and remain focused on our vision of purpose in life.
For example, as entrepreneurs we always have to remain focus if we want our business to grow and expand. You have to pay just as much attention to customer and client relations as you do to the bottom line. What good is a top-notch marketing plan if your customer relations suck? What good is customer relations if you have no marketing plan and your business is barely breaking even?
You happen to notice these things when you are focused and paying attention. When you get focused, you get productive. When you pay attention, you are in the present moment. And we all now know that when you are in the present moment, you are in the presence of God or you are in the presence of omniscience and omnipotence. Your most powerful moment is now. As you increase your awareness in the present moment, you tap into the field of infinite possibilities. Here, in this field, there are endless opportunities available to you. By holding the vibration of acute awareness and ever-increasing good, you will draw to you by way of the Law of Attraction, the best opportunity to get the best result no matter what the current situation may be.
Need a marketing plan? It’s available so get focused. Need a better way to relate to your customers or clients? It’s available so get focused. Need a new business concept? It’s available so get focused on it. It’s all available when you become available to it by tapping into the field of infinite intelligence and drawing to you all the resource, opportunities, things, and people you need to conceptualize your desires.
What you don’t pay attention to, you get distracted from or dis-attracted from! What does that mean? Whatever you don’t pay attention to in life is left in a state of default. In other words, you have no influence over or no power to flow energy towards a thing you don’t pay attention to. This means it is left to chance.
For instance, if you don’t pay attention to your children, then you have little influence in advising them on things that could help them succeed in life. When you don’t have influence in your children’s life, then who knows who they are taking advice from. Perhaps, your child is listening to someone who may not have your child’s best interest at heart.
The same is true in the subjective/spiritual realm. Remember, as it states in the Kybalion, “ALL is mind, the universe is mental.” When you do not pay attention or focus in on something, then it is left to be influenced by other mental powers. Yes, this includes your business so pay attention. If you are not focused or paying attention, you may hire the wrong people for a job. You may execute an advertising campaign that isn’t very fruitful. You may launch a product that isn’t ready for market.
When we pay attention, we get full wisdom and knowledge on how to handle things most productively. We also get creative ideas on how we can do things. So, again, pay attention.
4. Imagination and Visualization
Increasing your imagination and visualization skills is crucial for the enhancement of productivity and creativity. Imagination and visualization can be used as tools in business.
When you use your imagination and visualize, creativity flows naturally and without resistance. The flow of creativity then sparks excitement and enthusiasm. When this fire is lit, you become more productive almost spontaneously.
Some of the most effective ways to increase the flow of your imagination and improve the vividness of your visualizations are:
- Journaling about what you would like to see happen in your business in the next year, 5 years, 10 years. Make this a daily activity. As you journal, you are thinking and seeing at the same time. What you are writing down, you are imagining. Be sure to journal in present tense as if the vision you have for your business has already actualized.
- Go on long nature walks. Just going on a 30 minute nature walk sparks the imagination. You will find that nature gives you incredible inspiration that will stir your imagination.
- Meditation as a daily activity. Meditation has a way of clearing the mind of debris and gives you the energy and mental space to imagine and visualize what you truly desire to happen in your business and in your life.
Now, with these skills you will enhance your productivity and creativity as you thrive in life and business as a Holistic Creative Entrepreneur. Furthermore, as you grow in other skills, talents, and abilities as an Entrepreneur, you will find that your productivity and creativity will naturally enhance to meet your growth if you continue to develop these skills.
Yes, Entrepreneurship is a wonderful gift, but as with all gifts, once it is in your hands, it is your job as a co-creator with our loving and abundant universe to make the most of it. Be momentous. During your journey on the path of enlightenment you will gain many gifts and talents along the way, but you must be willing to maintain a progressive state of being. Everything in this universe must grow, multiply, and expand. Anything that stagnates will either disintegrate or die. Digression is death. Expansion and growth is life.
So put the life back into your living and your business or career today.
Blue Lotus Living has been developed as a community and company serving those on the path of enlightenment. The community and company has
been established for those on the path of enlightenment who want to co-create their reality and experience wealth, success, peace, well-being, happiness, joy,
optimal health, and empowering relationships. While Blue Lotus Living is a collaboration between Celebrated Writers, Artists, Visionaries, and Entrepreneurs Carmellita M. Brown and Roslyn J. Randle, it is still a creative
success system designed to help others utilize their creative potential and maximize their gifts and talents.
