There are two ultimate desires inherent in all being:.

1; The desire to_create and be creative

(the expression of self-quality).

2; The desire to_experience and have experiences

(the perception of form).

The most basic desire inherent in all consciousness is to maximize the degree (quantity), diversity (quality), and intensity of both the creative experience and the experience of creativity.

Creativity does not happen somewhere or to someone; rather it is inherently everywhere and within everyone. One does not need to “tap into” something external to oneself to create, to heal, to know something or to have imagination. In the very process of living, each of these qualities will take its own form.

Therefore, have faith in innate creativity and self-expression.

Where creativity is needed, it is always inherently available.

Evolution always moves in the direction that simultaneously maximizes the degree of experience and creativity of all aspects of life, in all aspects of life. These motivations are at the foundation of all desire, all cognition, and all action. Together they are the basis for and foundation of all love, life, growth, evolution, transformation, interaction, communication, learning, experimentation, being, and doing.

Choice is effective to the degree that it involves both a significant reflection on the meaning(s) of one’s prior experience(s) and a significant investment of new meaningfulness (creativity). Choice is particularly effective when that significance is reflective of the highest dreams of all concerned.

The sense of satisfaction with being is proportional to the product of the degree to which one thinks they have chosen/defined/created with purpose, and the degree to which one feels they have experienced significance, meaning, beauty, and value.

Satisfaction is a function of both anticipation and realization, and is dependent on a fullness of both. Satisfaction is the product of both expectation (creative potentiality) and realization (experienced actuality).

Large, unbounded collections of ‘insignificant small changes’ can create overall effects far out of proportion to the apparent causes. Small, incremental changes occurring everywhere at once are more conducive to creative expression than suddenly-realized ‘grand monolythic events’.

Love is that which enables choice

An Effective choice is one that results in the realization and manifestation of the deepest desires. An ultimately effective choice is one which realizes (manifests) the ultimate desires of all that is making that choice and all that is affected by that choice.

The ultimate innermost nature of self/soul is good. Ineffective actions and choices result from a lack of clarity between the soul and the mind. To have a lack of clarity is to have a lack of knowing and of understanding; it is an absence of wisdom. To improve one’s knowing and understanding is to increase clarity within the self. Increased clarity is increased effectiveness of one’s choices, and increased the degree to which one experiences joy/happiness.

Those who choose ineffectively can be nurtured and healed by enabling them to increase their degree of knowledge and understanding (i.e., teaching by example).

The most effective choices are those which maximally support creativity and experience in the world, in the self, and in the dynamics between them. The most effective choices provide or result in the greatest degree of wholeness and integrity of both self and world (necessary for experience), while at the same time allowing the greatest freedom to make additional future choices for oneself and others (necessary for creativity).

The degree of effectiveness of one’s choices is proportional to the product of the degree to which one’s choices and their results, coherently maintain, sustain, enhance, and nurture:

1) the integrity and wholeness (the actuality and actualization) of the world, the self,

and the relation between world and self, and,

2) the potentiality/realization/evolution of creativity and experience in all of life,

including one’s own life (the degree to which it potentiates other choices).

Quality is as important as quantity. Potentiality (what could happen) is as important as actuality (what does/did happen).
