Default Can we create or do we only react?

I like the idea of creating.

Previous things that I have created were given birth to as a reaction to the antecedant contrasting circumstances.

Can we genuinely create when the prevailing circumstances have not been sufficiently contrasting to provoke a specific creative reaction?

Can we originate creation?

Original creation without inspiration?
Why would that be neccessary?
There are many asking the question of our own reason for being... what would be your reason for creating? Curiosity maybe?
Anything is possible outside of the confines of this reality.

fair enough, even with science smashing photons to bits to see whats inside they are only following a scientific approach to the big bang theory of creation... so they are essentially not original in their pursuit...

I don't know then.

Have you tried facebook? always good for something to do.

What are you talking about?

We create full stop. Keep it simple.

I agree with the keep it simple reply!

Most people create from the standpoint of acknowledging (consciously or subconsciously) of what they do not want.
However it is also possible to manifest things that you do want when you have not encountered the opposite or are not in a place of not wanting what you have. This is manifesting for the experience and fun of Life.

We are all our own creators - bar none.

We absolutely create. What would the world be without creation?

Thanks for the replies. I'm coming to see that I do create. It is hard for me to get used because I have believed for so long that I do not have control or create the things of my reality.

It all boils down to your perspective. The act of reacting can be a creation. Animals react to the environment by creating new physical features. It's both in that sense.

We start out lacking something, like the ability to fly in the clouds, so we react by building planes to get to the clouds which in itself is a creation.

Creation and reaction looks like vice-versa. When you think something and act that means creation, while when you see some actions, mind thinks and you are supposed to make new actions, that's called reaction. Both are interdependent very well.

One thing I was introduced to some years ago is the order of creation (given the fact we currently live in linear time).

And I think it's to do with creation vs reaction (love that both those words are anagrams of each other).

I read that the emotion came before the situation (in order to create the whole experience).

As a believer of 'creating your reality', the idea that we first wish to experience the emotion (for example, anger) and then the universe unfolds a situation which allows that emotion to manifest (a driver doesn't indicate and bumps into my car). The outcome? Anger.

It's an interesting theory and I haven't been able to discard it so far.

I've heard it as, no we do not create.
But we can command and let it unfold.

I dont know how to create when I'm aware that the thoughts which are jumping into my awareness are not my thoughts...

For the reason that there is no free will, how do you create ?

Free will gives us the ability to put out whatever energy we choose to play with. Bless those unwanted thought invaders and send them on their way. Transmute it.
