THE SECRET OF LIGHT part: 5 - Creative Expression
5 - Creative Expression
Inspired man alone can create enduring things. To create we must first conceive.
To conceive we must stop thinking and KNOW. All sensing must cease. There is no power in thinking.
Thinking but expresses the power which lies in knowing. We must project our Selves into the still Light of knowing to commune with God. We must become one with God to conceive idea in order to produce the form of that idea. A concept must precede its manifestation in form.
The culture of the entire race is given to it by the few inspired ones who know God in them. They alone know immortality.
The art of civilization long outlives the civilization. The pyramids of Egypt still speak of the creation of a race which is long gone from the face of the earth. The sculptural and architectural beauty of Greece still tell us of a type of creative genius which has never been excelled. The great in the arts are best. “Art alone endures. All else passes.”
Great art can be created only by working moment by moment with God as co-creator. When man and God thus work together they commune one with the other as One Person. The language of their communion is the language of Light which man calls “inspiration.”.
When man works alone, his works are as the winds which blow. When man works with God as cocreator, his works are forever enduring. Every great genius manifests this law: that he is One with the God-Mind, that God in him is the source of every thought and that he is inspired by that omniscience and omnipotence within him which make his work enduring.
“All knowledge existeth. All knowledge cometh to man in its season. Cosmic messengers periodically give to man such knowledge of My cosmos as man is able to comprehend, but that which he can bear is like unto a thimbleful out of the mighty ocean, for man is but beginning to comprehend.
“when man knoweth Light then he will know no limitations, but man must know the Light for himself and none there can be who can make words of it, for Light knoweth Light and there need be no words.”
- from The Divine Iliad
