The Seven Values
Artistic Originality –
The First of the Seven Values
The first Value, Artistic Originality, is the focus of the Great Spirit and, therefore it is the principle that guides the focus of our will—passive will, active will, will power, and most importantly our unbendable will. We focus our will to keep moving forward as fast as possible in our soul’s self-growth and development.
Specifically, our seven immortal dancers are the brain cells of the Great Spirit. If you overlay the dancers on your study of the Seven Values, you will have a clearer understanding of how the Values work with you. Artistic originality is your Water Dancer because it carries the heart of your work and duty in this physical body. You must be original, fresh, and your natural self at all times. Your Water Dancer knows how to do that because it guides your Child Substance Shield out of its needy, wounded, abandoned folly.
The Great Spirit communicates to us through 14, and its focus language is the first of the O’Larien—telepathy, the gift of tongues. In any experience, alone or in engagement with others, you must let your artistic originality shine as your telepathic voice of power to everyone present. To not do so is to neglect your mirror of self-reflection and stunt the development of your magickal, mysterious character. So if I enter any space or engagement with artistic originality, I can allow my will to let my individuality shine. I can allow my presence to make a difference, even if I say nothing. I can make certain that people will know I was there by saying something. I can enter the matrix with a greater level of connection if I ask a question. I can go even deeper into the matrix if I can also respond with original answers. I am even deeper in the matrix if I am downloading information as a teacher, mentor, or sharer. All of this is artistic originality.
Artistic originality is a much broader concept than most realize. Creating works of art is a part of it. Even more so, however, it is how you approach your focuses in life. Your focus should always be authentic, genuine, and inventive. In other words, uniquely you. Are you not an artistically original creation? Are you not unique? Is there now or has there ever been another exactly like you? Therefore, let your focus of intent always carry your unique self into the world.
Your artistic originality is how you let yourself stay in emotional balance and control and out of the needy, wounded, abandoned child. It is your exuberant, joyful playfulness and presence in a learning experience. Your Water Dancer is there coaching the little kid so that s/he doesn’t get all hung up about not being loved or liked, accepted and wanted, and all that other garbage.
One might ask: “Well, how do I do that if I’m just reading a book or watching a movie?” Make it a living reality that you are a part of. Never just look at a film, become the film. Engage with it, dialogue with it. That is why I like to watch movies at home instead of in a movie theater. When you read a book, do you see it alive in your mind? Do you see the pictures with the words? Can you merge yourself into the story to the point where you can actually know where it is going to go before it does? Can you live the story or scenario in your mind? It is very important that you share, teach, and mentor from those creative experiences. That is all artistic originality.
You have no or very little artistic originality if you cannot accept what you have done. Your artistic originality is accepting what is done and then taking the just rewards—self-deservement and self-worth. So there is never a moment when you can’t be artistically original if you are focused with your intent. If you are in emotional balance and control, you are in alignment with the first Value of the Everything.
The opposite of authentic, genuine, and inventive is a copycat, mundane, mediocre, repetitive, and boring. It takes will to focus with artistic originality. It is your artistically original focus that leaves your unique stamp on everything you create and touch. It is this Value, expressed in your focus of intent and executed with unbendable will, that makes a difference. It creates your legacy and legend.
