Centering on the right thing…

Authentic creative spirituality is what I’ve always been interested in modeling and developing in my own life. To be living from who I really am, centered in what really is, and expressing creatively from this Real center.

Everyone must choose what to put in their center. Jesus taught us to lose our sense of of our own self, in order to find our Real self; He also told us, He would reveal to us our names as we put Him at Our Center. And would then be Authored or authentic. I think Jesus answers all these basic human needs. We Center in Him, He tells us who we are, and ground us, and then enjoys as we express it outwardly.

Technically this looks like His Spirit with our spirits at the center of our true identity, then acting in collaboration outwardly in expression. That for me, has become authentic spirituality. And yields real fruit.

To have authentic expressions is a natural outcome of being with Him in my Heart of center, and letting Him sing the song of myself through and in me. Art is overflow in this sense. The basic spirituality is friendship with Jesus at my core. Then I am free to be and express. He is the sustainer of all being. He is truly at our center if we invite Him to be. When we do, we are revealed to ourselves and able to express creatively outwardly.

Who we are can only be revealed if we center in the right Center. Once in that place, the rest flows naturally. Christ in me, so my real self in me, able to create freely.

Just as all healing begins by admitting our need for help from something higher. So once, He is at our center—that initial surrender; our true names can start to be spoken and expressed. His Spirit speaks with our yielded spirit, and this conversation starts to rule over the rest of us–our soul and body. Spirit to spirit to soul and so on…

Then, we move outwards to express this inner ongoing conversation–that becomes the art of our lives.
