To Create or to Co-Create, That is the Question.

To create or to co-create; that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? Shakespeare was on to something; or at least he was on the trail to something. By now you must be aware that I am making a case for creating ALL of your reality, which means you’re not a victim; there are no accidents, no coincidences, no invasions by mindless germs. If it happens to me I did it. If you hit me over the head with a 2x4, I did it. If I’m stung by a wasp, I did it. Me, me, me; not you, you, you. And it’s all done through our beliefs (not thought) and the projection of our perception.

Most of my life, however, was spent believing that I created some things, but not all things. If I wanted a can of refried beans I went to the store and bought some, but I certainly didn’t create the beans. If I chose to drive down a country road I knew it was my choice, but if a deer jumped into the road it was the deer’s idea, not mine. Stupid deer! If someone lifted my wallet and stole my identity it sure wasn’t my choice. Damn thief!! In a way I miss not blaming anyone or anything anymore. It’s a habit most of the human race has grown fond of. It sort of takes us off our own hook, ya know. At first glance it appears so much easier to cast a wide net of blame, but the problem lies in our need to cast the net over and over, ad infinitum. When we finally realize we do it all then maybe we’ll begin to spend some time figuring out how it is we do it. (read my blogs)

Many folks that are familiar with the reams of information about creating one’s own reality bandy the term “co-create” around as though someone or something else is helping each one of us create our individual realities. Each of us may participate in an event with another individual or in a mass event such as the 2005 Tsunami, but the actual physical creation is done individually. The co-creation goes back to my posts on agreements and choices. In an event as powerful as the Tsunami that rocked the lands bordering the Indian Ocean there was an agreement within consciousness (that’s all of us) to have the event take place. That’s it! We didn’t all pool our collective energies and raise an arc of darkness 1600 kilometers long called the Sunda Trench, where the Indo-Australian tectonic plate slowly slips beneath the Burma plate and create a Tsunami. We agreed to have one and then each individual created their own. There wasn’t one Tsunami that each individual perceived differently. It wasn’t a co-created Tsunami. It was an agreed upon Tsunami, but the creation of it was individual.

So, what we call co-creating is in actuality an agreement made in a different area of consciousness. It is not a pooled creation. It is a pooled agreement. When I look into the sky at night and see stars and planets and galaxies they are not co-created. I create them, just as you create yours. Consciousness is energy and is not a conglomeration of separate parts. It is a unity, but there are eddies within that unity. I, as an eddy, project my energy to you as an offering. You, also an eddy, through the projection of your perception configure my projected energy in any way you choose. Most often you configure it in the manner in which I projected it, which is why there is so often consensus on what we jointly experience. So, do we each create all of our reality? Yes. Is there co-creation? No, but there are infinite agreements.
