How To Recognize The Evolutionary Drive

What is the evolutionary drive and how do we recognize it?

Have you ever been so fired with the drive to do some kind of creative work, whether it be glass-blowing or designing a building, cooking a meal or making a marketing call, that you couldn’t be satisfied until it was completed?

Something seeps into our consciousness that we understand as the ‘vibe’ of a higher truth. At first it is inchoate.  We barely recognize it and there are no words for it because it is not clear in the beginning. Nevertheless, an idea is being impressed upon us.

Metastructure

It is a ‘metastructure’ (beyond and with structure) and is only partially distinguishable when it first strikes us.  Then over time it gradually comes to light.  It is partially a structure in the mind but not yet fully present there either. The impression has a decidedly different quality than we are used to. We are aware that the idea is sacred! It is of a far higher order than other impressions we have.

Depending on our readiness, we awaken to what the evolutionary drive is. Surely it is something we feel deeply that we must be part of creating! Creativity is part of the evolutionary impulse and is one of the outstanding qualities that makes us human. Love, creativity and freedom are so closely related that they are essentially one.

The power of love drives the ‘metastructure’ onward until it is fully clear.  Love causes us to take action and use what we know at various levels. Then we begin to work on the creative idea. Once completed the exuberance of freedom bursts forth like fireworks in mid-summer

As we go through the creative process, it is evident that the Divine, Spirit, whatever we want to call It has been behind the process from the beginning. It, whatever It is, has had a benevolent idea all the way along that compels the cosmos to be and it includes you and me and everything else. Two stupendous results of the cosmic creative process are life and mind. Where would we be without them?

Without the sacred we would be lost. With it we can figure out our purpose for being and contributing to the world. With large enough vision we can cooperate with the future and create it. In doing we are also a cause of the evolutionary impulse.
