Creation and Happiness

Exploring the Meaning of Creation

---

ConscioCentrism posits that the ultimate "Meaning of Life" or "Meaning of Consciousness" is The Act of Creation.  This action is also how the ConscioCentric Paradigm frames the idea of "God", when integrating concepts of the world's religions - God is a verb, literally meaning "The Act of Creation".

The Act of Creation, under the ConscioCentric Paradigm is defined as:  the Separation of Components (Matter, Energy, Information), and Reunification into new forms.   The Act of Creation is an endlessly repeating pattern, with the goal of conscious beings to expand their sphere of influence and control over their environment, and to interact with other conscious beings, to collaborate to broaden the communal conscious control sphere over matter.   

Separation and Unity
On a cosmological scale, this idea of creation (Separation and Unity) is the most fundamental pattern of the universe, from the Big Bang, to Gravity, to Solar Formation, to the Evolution of Life, to our Everyday Lives as Humans.   The universe, on a fundamental level, is a finely balanced mix of separation impulse (the Big Bang, The Electroweak Force, Electromagnetism, Weak Nuclear, Dark Energy) and unity impulse (Gravity, The Strong Nuclear Force, Dark Matter).

In our everyday human lives, and in our societal rules, we are constantly balancing separation and unity.   We feel a strong need for personal growth and individual identity (separation), but an equal need to bond with family, friends and society (unity).   

Our socio-economic policies and politics can all be boiled down to a balance of separatism vs unity - ie:  what benefits freedom and individualism vs what benefits societal growth and unity.  

The Act of Creation exhibits itself strongly in our urge to procreate - to literally separate off our DNA, and unite sperm and egg to create a new vessel for consciousness.   

Feeling Down?   Tap into Creativity!
We find happiness when we are the most creative - when we perform the acts of separation and reunification.   Many jobs involve some sort of Act of Creation - builders, engineers, scientists, farmers, chefs, programmers, designers, musicians, artists, etc.    All of these professions involve taking individual, separate building blocks and combining them to create something new - a united form with value or meaning exceeding the sum of its parts.  

If you're ever feeling down, do something creative! - cook a meal, draw a picture, paint a canvas, play music, build something out of wood or other materials... take up a hobby that is creative, and you'll find the intrinsic happiness of participating in The Act of Creation.
