A Falcon - Clipped Wings

I feel like a falcon whose wings have been clipped by the inhumane minds so it cannot fly to explore the unknown realms of this earth. What is the freedom of man if he is not free enough to explore his mind…his creativity… and his inner self? Everybody wants to pay writers. But finally at the end of the day, when I write to get paid I see the wings of my creativity getting clipped. I feel as if I am bound by a chain…restricted within four walls locked up in a room and told, “Hey listen… you have to write this and nothing other than this. Be original with whatever you write. It must pass Copyscape." Then I am given ten instructions which I must follow, and stick to a particular pattern.
Taking orders is something the mind doesn’t like. The ego for a short fraction of a second does react a little bit. It thinks, “How can I rebel and be free?" But finally it understands that it has to resort to follow the orders of a “superior ego", because there is a source of income coming in at the end of the day and “I", have nothing to lose (except my creativity).
As I started doing writing jobs, I wondered if I am really exploring my potentials, or am I really doing justice to the art of writing? Many times I feel maybe it’s wrong. What is the right thing to do? Where do I draw a balance? On one side there is a pressure to keep your life moving for which you need currency rolling into your bank account, and on the other side there is something that you love to do which the world doesn’t care about.
Consciousness has limitless strength. It can think of the unthinkable. But are we forcing the consciousness to think in a particular pattern by giving it a shape and dimension? The creative human mind creates the world around itself coming up with new ideas every minute. Creativity in itself seems to have a pattern…the pattern of the “consciousness", bred in a particular way.
Some are extremely creative, and are able to express themselves no matter what happens, and they belong to the “advanced" state of consciousness. I truly believe even they have gone through their obstacles and challenges to be “there", where they are today. But still, the individual consciousness makes an influence on humanity in a very big way. The society is a web of consciousness formed by a group of individuals, which ultimately becomes collective consciousness. (This is what I believe or understand.)
The consciousness has an energy pattern. The energy is a mix of both positive and negative energy. I feel this influence of the collective consciousness of the world influence my individual consciousness as well and makes me think, “Well, if this person wants me to be creative according to what he thinks is the need of the day, it’s the collective consciousness that has influenced his individual consciousness to look for somebody with an individual consciousness that works in the pattern of his consciousness. I know it is a bit difficult to understand.
But we all have an “individual consciousness" which works in a pattern. This “individual consciousness" seems to be in the process of seeking something which is not known to our ego. When one individual consciousness invents an ice cream, then there is another individual consciousness walking across the street which doesn’t know that an ice cream has just been invented.
The curious individual consciousness walks up to the inventor and asks, “What is this?" The inventor says, “You want to try it? It’s an ice cream." The curious consciousness feels tempted to try, but still a little nervous to try it since it is the first time… not knowing, what danger lies behind it, but still gathers up some courage and gently tries tasting the ice cream with the tip of tongue tentatively. As the ice cream touches the tongue for the first time and the taste buds experience the sweet sugar cream and chocolate and honey and the chillness it spreads into the mouth down the throat and slowly the senses get a thrill through the experience of this individual consciousness, the whole new sensation that’s been discovered spreads all over the body.
One individual consciousness has influenced another individual consciousness. Now, two consciousnesses are convinced that the ice cream is great. The second one invites the third to try it, and slowly the number of consciousnesses builds on to convince a whole lot of thousand and one consciousnesses making them aware that the ice cream is great. When this energy has spread among all the consciousnesses of the world, this one single thought energy holds all the individual consciousnesses as a single collective consciousness. So the collective consciousness has made a great influence, and suddenly, one individual consciousness out of the whole lot of collective consciousness believes that he should rebel against the ice cream, while another individual consciousness thinks of marketing and branding the ice cream, and convinces ten other consciousnesses to join in.
The first one rebels because he sees that this ice cream has certain defects. Now the individual consciousness which starts branding it suddenly feels insecure, and is forced to manipulate other consciousnesses by convincing them that the ice cream is good for all consciousnesses. The greed of the collective consciousness increases and starts influencing other small individual consciousnesses with time and curb their creativity to think original, by offering jobs and security and slowly the manipulation of the collective consciousness starts to manipulate the simplicity and innocence of the individual consciousness. The manipulative consciousness could go to the extreme of putting the rebellious individual consciousness out of existence. Boom!!!
This one invention which happened in one small corner of the world, with no intention whatsoever, has become the source of living today for millions of individual consciousnesses. The millions of individual consciousness today collectively think in one single pattern of collective consciousness that it’s important to earn a living, because the collective consciousness of all individual consciousnesses have forced the energy to create this web of illusion.
What was before the invention of the ice cream? Life in a particular pattern with not much euphoria about accumulating wealth, thinking about health insurances, mutual investments, cosmetics, chemical drugs, fertilizers, automobiles adding pollution, nuclear weapons, tinned food, Coca Cola, Pepsi, artificial food, packed milk etc. Climate change…was it there? I guess the regular seasons were signs of the changing climate then, and now the seasoned human consciousness seems to be changing the climate.
But today the whole lot of individual consciousnesses seem to be suffering from this euphoric revolution as one side of collective consciousness is trying to convince more and more individual consciousnesses to keep the game alive.
Terrorism is also an act of rebelling against the collective consciousnesses of the world governments. Religion has been used as a medium by the collective consciousnesses to increase terror. One side there is a collective consciousness of terrorists killing more and more individual consciousnesses, and on the other side, there is an increase of fear among the collective consciousnesses due to terrorism. It is a fight between different sections of collective consciousnesses of good v/s evil.
Consciousness cannot be seen, but the consequences of consciousness can be seen and felt. What we see as the world today, is nothing but a result, a great result of collective consciousness working towards a selfish cause. If one individual consciousness can convince a million consciousnesses to enjoy an ice cream and create an euphoria around the world forcing all consciousnesses more and more towards selfishness and greed at the cost of the consciousness of mother nature, then very well, the same individual consciousness has boundless, unlimited, unfathomable strength and power to create a revolution to force all the individual consciousnesses to come together as one collective universal consciousness to save this earth from destruction.
The collective universal consciousness has the power to create a positive force of love, if the same can create a force of selfishness, greed, hatred, jealousy and war. It won’t take long for the individual consciousnesses to realize they are nothing but one and only one single universal consciousness with a cosmic connection of pure bliss and love which is devoid of any abstract form, independent of any religious faith, race, nationality, language or any form of expression which has been created by the mind.
The future of the individual consciousness is the Universal Consciousness, and the Falcon will fly again with new wings.
