What does it mean when someone says, “You are a creator”? We hear this often in spiritual spaces, but what does it actually mean to be a creator? And how many of us truly understand the power we have to consciously create our human experience? We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We are not these bodies, nor are we these minds. We are the eternal Self, consciousness itself, inhabiting this incredibly beautiful, intelligent, organic human vessel that allows us to navigate and experience the material plane. And then we have the mind. This extraordinary instrument that allows us to problem solve, strategize, recognize patterns, and participate in the creation of our reality. Much of what we believe about ourselves and the world was programmed into us during our earliest years. We absorbed our environments, our family beliefs, cultural conditioning, fears, and perceptions, long before we had the awareness to question any of it. We learned who we were through the reflection of the world around us. And we developed some incredibly clever strategies to navigate those environments, many of which were necessary for our survival. But what happens when those same strategies, beliefs, and behaviours are no longer supporting us? When we continue moving through the world from programming that was never consciously chosen? We begin to mistake the conditioned mind, the ego, for who we are. And this is where the ancient wisdom of Vedanta becomes so profound. We are not the mind. We are the consciousness witnessing the mind. The mind is an instrument of the spiritual being, yet so many of us move through this human incarnation allowing the conditioned ego to dictate our experiences, our relationships, our reactions, and ultimately the reality we continue to create. So, are you creating consciously or unconsciously? Are you moving through life reactive to your environment, allowing the behaviours of others to dictate your experience? Or are you recognising that you have the ability to question your programming, shift your beliefs, choose your values, and consciously participate in creating a reality that is more aligned with your truth?
