Co-Creation
You are a creator. The Infinite is a Creator.
The Buddha presents a simple vision. You are a part of that Infinite. If you allow your mind to still itself, the Infinite Intelligence is allowed to rise and act through you. In this state, your actions and decisions are endowed with deep quality. Different artists and athletes sometimes reach this sublime level of "no thoughts" - often said to be "in a zone". But when achieved in everyday living, you are nothing less than a saint - innocent, joyful and always fresh.
In this sublime state, you fulfill the impulse that arises within. As you fulfill, you become a co-creator in this divine play. The act of fulfillment is deeply satisfying, for you recognize yourself in this act.
One of the finest examples of this act of co-creation is in the Indian scripture of "Mahabharata" in the character of Krishna & Arjun. Krishna is the divine impulse within us, while Arjun is the actor. Arjun's excellence in his craft (as a warrior) allows the divine impulse to fulfill one of the most demanding tasks of the times - winning a war against an army of the greatest warriors ever assembled - through him. Arjun's name became enshrined in the hearts of all people of the age and forever more.
Jesus has said "If the flowers are clothed with these brilliant colors, imagine what wonders will Father cover his beloved children with, once they are ready".
The divine impulse is forever guiding us, seeking to accomplish extraordinary tasks through us. We have to let it act - and the best way to do that is to seek stillness and spaciousness - some distance from our rampant thoughts. And trust the Intelligence that arises.
