"You will be engaged in activities other than art. It will be a growing time, a learning time. The world is in need of the simple truths of life as you express through your art. Look deep into the heart of your expression through art and portray this simplicity and beauty in other mediums as in application to the future that you see for people. Bring the peace, serenity, truth and simplicity of Nature to Man."

This book is about Creativity. But not the creativity with physical materials so familiar to most of us. We will begin with a discussion of how artists, musicians and inventors create; but we will go much farther than that__we will uncover the secrets of Inter-Dimensional Creativity.

Why do we need to know this? Because no one can deny that we are, these days, dwelling in a very chaotic, very confusing world. Not only is this world strange, but also dangerous and extremely stressful. We are living through a period ripe with waves of uncertainty that trigger intense accelerations of personal, global, solar systemic and even galactic expansion. And if you think time has speeded up recently__ you're correct! We entered the final phase of a
sixteen-plus billion year period on March 9, 2011. This long period ends sometime between October, 2011 and January, 2013, and we must understand and use multi-dimensional creativity if we are to cope positively with the many crises of this period.

So, what is really happening?


Earth, humans and all life upon Her are presently going through
The Shift of the Ages which happens about once every 13,000 years. The last Great Shift was when the Great Flood occured. The Mayans were very knowledgeable about Time, and according to one of their many calendars, this next Shift is expected to be completed between October 28, 2011 and December 21, 2012.

The
Mayan Long Count Calendar covers a 5,000 + year-long period from 3113 B.C. to 12-21-2012 A.D. Nowhere did they say that Earth is going to be destroyed. We are, instead, moving into an entirely different type of existence. Even our physical bodies, our DNA, are changing. Have you not experienced "spaciness", vague aches and pains that move from one body part to another? Do you find yourself completely bored with things you once enjoyed and more and more forgetful? We are "letting go" of the "old world", of the past and of things that no longer work for us.

We sometimes hear of past civilizations and secret societies that seemed to have had "answers" to what we are now experiencing. The ancient mystery schools of Lemuria and Atlantis led to similar schools in Egypt, Sumeria and India. Treasured information known to the Crusaders and learned men such as Plato, Leonardo da Vinci and Nostradamus are still whispered about in connection with the Knights Templar, the Cathars, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians and the Great White Brotherhood__ most of whom still exist today. Goals of gold, silver or jewels don't seem to be important enough to have kept these groups striving so long and so rigorously. What were they really seeking__ or hiding?

What if I told you that these "treasures"__ hundreds of thousands of years old__ refer to humankind's true origins, to our human creative powers and lost knowledge and higher technologies, and how much influence we humans have on personal and world events, both individually and collectively? Let us consider:

* How did "primitive" civilizations build pyramids and monuments all over the world__ when we, with all our new technologies, still can't reproduce them today?

* How did the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Incas, the builders of Stonehenge and the many pyramids and monuments around the globe know of not only the existence, but of even the exact sky positions of planets invisible to the naked eye__ when they had no telescopes?

* How did early cultures create Stonehenge, the Nazca Lines, the Giza Plateau and the many monuments and pyramids reflecting star constellations with measurements exactly matching their global longitudes and latitudes__ without airplanes, GPSs or satellites?

* And most amazing of all:  what accounts for humanity's' extreme jump in intelligence since the middle of the
20th century? Sharon Begley's article, "IQ Puzzle", in Newsweek, April, 2004, stated: "IQ scores throughout the world have soared dramatically since the tests were introduced"... "the rise is so sharp that it implies the average school child today is as bright as the near-geniuses of yesteryear."  P.M.H. Atwater, in her "New Dawn #82" magazine article relates:  "the gene pool cannot change fast enough to account for this leap, so we can't claim genetics as causal."

* Our nearest animal relatives, the apes, were thought not smart enough to create tools, but recently, African chimpanzees were found   breaking twigs off trees, sharpening them to a point with their teeth, and using them to hunt and kill bush babies for food. Orangutans use small twigs to poke into ant nests and eat the ants that crawl up the sticks, thereby avoiding being bitten as when they handle the nests.

Our real human history is not about politics, wars, technology and economics, but about
Consciousness. Consciousness determines everything that exists, and creative arts__ because they develop imagination, visualization, pattern recognition, innovation and problem-solving__ are a pathway to a higher, more expanded consciousness. In this text, we will explore our conscious-creativity potentials through Science, Art and Spirituality.

After the Great Flood,
13,000 years ago. the human race sank so low in consciousness over the folkowing several millennia, that we lost direct personal contacts with spiritual guidance and intelligence. Our body's energy centers stopped operating at a conscious level and only affected us sub-consciously. Even acupuncture no longer worked.

Something had to be done if our human race was going to raise our consciousness to the levels needed to reach Ascension into a higher dimensional existence during the next Shift. We had only
10,500 years before Mother Earth shifted into Her next hyper-dimensional existence by 2013 A.D.  A program was designed by Higher Intelligences to prepare us for this Shift by raising our consciousness to the required higher vibrations. Change occurs first on psychological, then on physical levels, and continues on to inter-dimensional-spiritual realms; i.e., it first occurs internally for an individual, then externally through his outward expressions. (82)

I loved creative arts since before starting school and had been a professional artist for many years when in
October, 1988, after an insanely chaotic day on Orcas Island, I was told in an inter-dimensional episode that "The creatures need to create from within themselves." Although completely mystified, I became obsessed with that statement. Those words triggered something deep inside me that led down a path I can only describe as a Search for an Expanded Process of Creativity.

It was seven years before full understanding arrived. It seems all of us have been following this path for millions of years.The truths contacted on Orcas Island pointed to the mysteries of life, why we are here, what is happening to humans and Earth right now, and the realization that our human intellect and technology have reached a climax in our culture, triggering world crises of over-population, genocide, stress, pollution, loss of human rights, new illnesses and military strife accompanied by drastic earth changes. The major issue in these "End Times" is whether or not we can evolve our consciousness to overcome those challenges and avoid destroying both ourselves and planet Earth. Patriarchal science, logic and action need to be balanced with the more Feminine side of ourselves __creativity, love, intuition, compassion, and spirituality__ if we humans are to thrive over the next few years.  

The most empowering potential we humans possess is our Creativity
. Creativity is everyone's birthright, not a special talent handed out to a fortunate few. It is born into not only artists, inventors and craftsmen, but into all imaginative people__ those who intentionally create something that never existed in quite the same way before. Creative acts can include cooking, gardening, teaching, healing, inventions, sports, art, music, literature, dance, theater, cooking, decorating, building__ the list goes on and on. They foster skills critical to coping with life. If we are made in the image of the supreme Creator, then doesn't it follow that we, too, are creators?

We begin this text with a focus on the creative skills and principles involved in making artwork because they are similar to those of creating on higher levels with other dimensional technologies__ sometimes referred to as "
higher consciousness", "hyper-dimensional levels", "co-creating" or "spirituality". Part I Basic Inter- Dimensional Techonologies explains how to raise our consciousness to vibrate on expanded levels and how to change physical, mental or emotional issues by manifesting new situations__ without using physical or material devices orsubstances. The changes occur through transmuting energy vibrations within us, enabling each individual to use to link with the Creative Energy Field__ the Creator's guidance system that leads us to perform Inter-Dimensional Creativity. We are not here on Earth at this time to become "perfect"__ we are here to develop Unity Consciousness and Unconditional Love, enabling us to create New Realities for ourselves and Earth.

It is time to consider what sort of future reality we are desire for ourselves and the planet, for it will determine how we navigate life during these trying times. Fine Arts are not the only pathway to an expanded consciousness and higher dimensional projects, but they have proven to be an excellent one. The artist draws upon her personal uniqueness, and what she produces mirrors her spirit and how she relates to others. Workshops on painting, meditation, astrology, sacred geometry, energetic healing and the evolution of human consciousness were given by the author in Arizona, Idaho, California, Illinois and Missouri over a thirty-year period. The practical methods of a seminar could be taught in a few days, but to shift the students' awareness to a point where they could understand and use Inter-Dimensional Techniques required at least a week.

"
Creating From the Future" was originally planned as a booklet to be read before enrollment in those workshops. As I wrote and researched, more and more information kept pouring in, expanding the subject matter until writing it became an eight-year-long journey that revealed an astonishing concept about these End Times__ one that demanded to be told world-wide. It includes insights gleaned as a teacher, astrological counselor and energy healer open to people's most private thoughts, feelings and spiritual yearnings. Knowledge and skills from the ancient past, from the present and from the future are included, as well as spiritual guidance received through meditation and dreams, and my own experiments with the application of Multi-Dimensional Technologies.

Artistic, scientific, psychological and spiritual discoveries by professional researchers and scientists document the book's unusual concepts. Not not long after it was begun, I realized that most of us are here on Earth learning about What it Means to be Truly Human and about co-creating in loving service to the planet and to each other.This book went online
April, 2006, allowing it to be updated with new research and insights that are now occurring with ever-increasing frequency as we near the "End Times" date.

A major life issue for me in youth was the acceptance and understanding of frequent
paranormal (some would say "psychic") episodes that years later I realizeded were occuring in other dimensions than 3-D. As artistic projects drew me deeper inside, I often entered the altered state of consciousness known to Australian Aborigines as "The Dreamtime".  Each chapter of this book begins with one of those types of mystical, inter-dimensional encounters. As with a series of unusual paintings at an exhibition, they provide insights into a world known only to a relatively few people on Earth today; a world enfolding the hidden factors determining our lives and events. These episodes are shared because, like music, parables or myths, they tell truths that cannot be fully grasped through words or images alone. They symbolize certain principles about our humanness, reflect novel viewpoints and enhance our sense of life's meaning.

I was ordained as a minister and received a Doctorate in Divinity from the Universal Life Church of Los Angeles, CA., As a long-time member of the Order of Melchizedek pursuing the meaning of
"creating from within", I studied the major religions of the world and pursued spiritual disciplines including "A Course in Miracles", Edgar Cayce’s "Search for God", Sacred Geometry, Shamanism, the Kabbala, Energetic Healing, Kriya Yoga, the Mayan Calendar and the Flower of Life.

This book intends to foster hope for the future by raising consciousness, by offering options for co-creating a whole new reality for ourselves and the planet and living a more abundant, purposeful and fulfilled life. The unusual information presented may send a few jolts of "
how can that be?" through some readers. What is true for me may not be true for you at this time. Do not accept these ideas as your own until they've been tested in your daily life.

Chapters are arranged according to the esoteric twenty-two steps toward mastery. Each chapter awakens the reader's inner sensitivities and opens him to a new level of creative capabilites. Creativity, Spiritual Healing and Inter-Dimensional Technologies of Light are powerful forces at work in our world today, and every individual plays an important role with their influence. More frequent and more intense skills and insights occur as one
consciously and intentionally cooperates with the Creative Force Field. Together, as we evolve ourselves, we also heal ourselves, heal others, our past and restore our planet. The alternative wellness notions presented here do not seek to replace traditional medicine; they add choices that can enhance the scientific foundation presently established in medical diagnosis and crisis-based treatment.

We are  proposing that once the reader understands how to work with the Creative Process and Force Field
, he will be able to innovate a more positive future by using artistic modes and skills to balance his inner selves and to manifest harmony in everyday life. Later, we use Part IV: Expanded Inter-Dimensional Technologies to co-create the New Reality with Earth, the Creative Force and with groups to resolve global problems and build a more benevolent New Reality. In the final Part V, our ancient human past is explored, and a future world vision is shared, offering new options for living in Love and Unity and teaching us to trust again in our amazing inward journey toward a profound human destiny.
