Welcome Peter, and thank you for posting these quotations for the purpose of initiating some interaction between the members of this group.

For me the discussion begins with the statement, "We possess inherent qualities consistent with the qualities of nature that enable us to manufacture whatever we desire through the properties of thought, desire, intention and focus."
As a co-creator, it is of interest to me how we define the function of the stated properties of thought, desire, intention, and focus . What is their relationship to one another? Are these properties listed with purpose as the sequential path of manifestation, or are they working at random depending on the individual, or are they all happening simultaneously? Anyone.............

Everything that we see in the manifested world originated in the eternal mind of the creator. Being part and parcel to the creator enables us to harness the same creative properties. First it begins with a thought. That thought develops into desire. We can hone that desire by concentrating on where we place our focus.

Welcome Peter, and thank you for your comments. I was once told by the Great Spirit that "you to me, are as the sand is to the sea, you give me my shape, my form" In other words, it is through being in matter, that we are able to give shape to Divine creative power, with free will always at the core of how we use this energy to create our realities. I do not believe Divine inspiration comes from our thoughts and feelings but from a deeper place within us, that knows the truth of who we are in Spirit and connection to Mother Earth and Father Sky. Our boundaries of perception often represent our limited beliefs rather than our greatness in the eyes of Spirit. Once we understand our connection and remember the teachings of the wise ones then our intentions begin to reflect our truth rather than our desires which often reflect our needs.

Hello Michele,

I am in total agreement with you when you say that 'Divine inspiration comes from a deeper place within us." In terms of being a creative being, I was merely pointing out that once we begin to understand our relationship to the Divine as co-creators, we can then harness this reality by the way we think and view the world around us. Scientifically speaking, my point was merely that if our thoughts are powerful and creative we should take special care to create and manifest according to the desires we have. That is of course as long as they serve the greater good of all concerned.

Hey Michele, been missing you.
Thanks Peter for the clarification. My education understands what you are saying, but my experience agrees with Michele. There is agreement that "thoughts" are powerful manifestations of creation, but I do not consider them to be the source or the initiating factor of creation. I also understand there is a realm of conscious thought and a much greater realm of sub-conscious thought which is a topic into itself. In this context I understand "desire" to be a sub-consciousness motivator. This is not to say that conscious thought does not develop into desires. Thought has polarity and has proven itself to have the potential for both good and bad. Knowing the nature, function, and power of thought, as a tool, and learning to use it wisely is a key to co-creating a more balance world.
However, perhaps we can first look at the the greater power of Spirit and how it is accessed through something like, meditation, or "no-thought." What I speak of is letting go of all our fears, desires, and ideas of what we "think" we would need to be happy or to make things better. When I engage in shamanic meditation my mental activity becomes neutral and a portal opens which allows me to be come connected; One with Spirit. I can then receive the best ever possible answers from the Universe, right now. This impulse form Spirit initiates thought and opens new doorways to the unexpected. In this way I allow the wisdom of Creation to decide what "the greater good for all concerned" actually is. Looking at the bigger picture of unification, of Oneness, I am all of the above seeking an understanding of my internal process.

I get the feeling we are all talking about the same thing, but form slightly different perspectives.
The point under consideration. "How do we create our highest good?"
If I understand Peter correctly, the pathway to accomplish this begins with the acknowledgment that "we are fashioned in the likeness of the original source." We are human spirit beings. Michele's comments clarified this preliminary starting point, stating that the impulse to create comes first from, "a deeper place within us, that knows the truth of who we are in Spirit and connection to Mother Earth and Father Sky." From this, I see the multidimensional picture of the "original source" this "deeper place within" as our spirit, which is born from and connected to the Spirit of our Mother Earth and Father Sky, which is connected to a greater matrix of Universal Spirit. It is the Impulse of Spirit to encapsulate our spirit as a manifest body on this earth with a brain that can transmute Impulses into thoughts and/or desires. When we focus on the thought/desire we birth the intention to manifest the thought/desire as a 3D creation. This is the idealistic process, the path-way, of how Spirit Manifests as a Creation. It is the way "we create of our own realities?"
If this be so, I can also see how we came to be so far removed from the objective of "creating the greatest good." Our caregivers have forgotten the truth of our origin and function. We are born into an environment of ignorance which we absorb and mimic in order to survive. The first challenge is for us to awaken to the reality of who and what we are. Then to sort out all the false beliefs that have been imposed upon us. Once we are clear, our purpose is to help others awaken to their true identity. When the truth of our existence is realized by enough human spirit beings, we can then embrace our collective love and "free will" to overcome the powers that be with the intention of "creating our highest good."
Does this make any since?

Hey Clem, great to hear from you too! Finally have been able to release my mind from University assessment to a far deeper truth! I also am in ageeance with your comments. A teacher I once had called what you are describing "The Hero's Journey" which all the great Teachers have undergone and completed in one life time to tell their story, their truth. They have been able to remember their greatness and return to source in order to help and teach others who they are in truth. For many of us it takes many lifetimes (or has done through the ages) but now their is a great shift enabling far more people to access their Divine presence in form. However, our existence is still polarised into an energy field that teaches us through conflict and pain (on multi levels). But as I see it we have so many helpers in Spirit waiting for us to ask for assistance and as you say they are accessed in the stillness of our mind, theShamanic Journey is such a gift. Great Spirit can only access and give us our truth when we choose to still our thoughts and feelings in order to 'hear' 'feel' 'see' their messages. We are all Pure Creative Spirit connected to Source through all time and space. This is not the problem, our problem as I see it, lies in our fear of facing pain (which in itself is a perception) but seemingly very real to our human -ness. Love is the key, as The Buddha explained Compassion of all living creatures and our awareness of how our energy impacts on EVERYTHING throughout space and time. Love and LIght always.....

Thanks for the insights Michele. "Our fear of facing pain," opens my mind to one of the basic biological concepts of life.
At times being fearful, overcautious, and hesitating are important protective skills. However, this defensive posturing is only necessary when there are "real" immediate threats to deal with. The problem is most of our defensive fears have been learned from our ancestors, parents/teachers and their fearful perception of the world. Fear of pain can then become mentally triggered by hypothetical worry, which is then passed on to our children. When fear is a predominant mental state, the bodies health is negatively effected by the stress. Removing the stress of worry, the fear of pain from our minds, is a key to regaining a state of balanced health and growth.
