This is what is meant as [[stillness]]; to clear the [[mind]] of [[thoughts]], thoughts of yourself, of your needs and wants; your [[limits]], your preconditions. I use the term [[creative]] to access God, because to begin to access God in your daily life, and to begin to access God in others, takes some [[grace]] and [[finesse]]. It doesn't necessarily work to [[preach]] and belittle others. You have to find a way to access the God within other people. Sometimes you have to use a little creativity to access your own [[personality]] in God; to be able to still stand up and be incomplete in God's [[presence]], yet still have the ability to hold forth the hand and voice of God to others.

This is possible because God deems it so. He has [[chosen]] to indwell an imperfect person, to help that person give him [[expression]]. How else is one to know this except in a [[creative]] way? In a way in which it may be [[unique]] to express God. This is why I use the term 'creative'. You cannot go to a [[book]] and it will tell you how to access God. This is a [[trial and error]] procedure. Through [[feeling]], stilling the mind, paying [[attention]] and by using your creative [[intelligence]] you will begin to access God. He is not like an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_rate interest rate], which can be accessed in the morning paper. God in most respects is much more illusive, and [[subtle]]. It is so that you will continue to search and seek out what it is that God wants from you, that God needs of your [[service]]. At any one time, when you think that you have found God and really know him, then he can help you [[experience]] and find another aspect of him. There are so many aspects of God, that you could live for an [[eternity]] and never stop experiencing the many aspects of God. So seeing [[creative]] is seeing more like [[water]], and less like a rock.

Student; So each one must create their own [[method]] of finding [[the Father]]. Is this related to or mixed up with our human [[emotion]] pattern, when you say empty the cup it is like being '[[Born again]]' and getting rid of the [[past]], and while here in the [[material]], are we using our emotional patterns to accomplish this too?
