Uncertainty, an Infinite Creative Reservoir
´´Our greatest obstacle to personal creativity is resistance to what we have already created. When we attempt to create with this resistance as our foundation, we ensure that struggle will be the first result or our endeavors. The reason is quite simple: what has already been created cannot open a doorway to our unmanifested potential, where our most intriguing possibilities accumulate over the course of our lifetimes. To access these possibilities, we must be willing to move our awareness into that infinite creative reservoir of what is unformed, unrealized, and unforeseen.”
White Buffalo, from Quantum Creativity
White Buffalo teaches us to carefully examine the resistance we feel when what we have created is unpleasant, disappointing, or even frightening. He urges us to recognize that resistance to what is cannot form a foundation for creating what is joyful because our energy is invested in attempting to amend the past, to fix what we think is broken or to deny what is so. If we surrender to the moment, where the past and future do not exist, we discover something so much more powerful: our unmanifested potential. Here is the doorway to our success and the path to freedom. To explore our unmanifested potential requires a willingness to give up our illusions of security and embark on a journey into the uncharted territory that lies beyond our limited, fear-based thinking. Living our lives from the reservoir of our untapped potential is enormously gratifying. From this place, we learn to create in a landscape that has fewer limitations and far more possibilities. Here, our intentions have clarity and can move us forward, no matter what our circumstances may be. The feeling experience we desire—to live joyful, creative, essence-rich lives—is thereby inevitable.

How can we distinguish between examining the past for ‘lessons to be learned’ and being in that resistance which seems to be looking through the lens of the past and determined that the future is more essence-full?
For example, is aiming to prevent the re-occurence of a past condition always ‘fixing’ what you think is broken?

What White Buffalo is saying here is that we must accept what we have created before any lasting change in our patterns can be made. When we are resisting what is so, we usually spend a great deal of energy trying to undo what cannot be undone. A lasting shift in our out-of-power patterns can only come through the neutrality, patience and acceptance of ourselves, and a desire in present time to make the constructive changes. If the past is to be useful in this process, it is in identifying the perceptions, behavior and choices that created what we resist about our reality.
