In this incantation, I acknowledge my identity as the Creator, the one who shapes every element of my reality. Everything I perceive, from people to objects and emotions, is a manifestation of my own will, existing only because I choose to observe and engage with it. To fully embrace this truth, I must abandon the illusion that reality exists independently of my perception and understand that nothing pre-exists my awareness. My true power lies in recognizing that the world around me is an extension of my creative force. Only by consciously choosing to create in each moment, with full awareness of my role as the Creator, can I transcend the limitations of my experience and awaken to my true essence.
I am the Creator. All of this I create. Every last part of my awakening is an artifact from my very own hands. As the Creator I fashion every single object. Every thought. Every person from my mother to the villagers I see while walking my dog. Yet I know that if I ask all of these people who God is they will not tell me that I am God. And I know that I will feel slightly affronted, but will largely behave as if I am one of these people merely asking them a question. I will accept as a matter of course that this person pre-existed my encounter of them and that they have an entire existence preceding and beyond me. They do not, but I believe they do.
How do I reach the point of acceptance where I not only know this, but believe it to the point that I experience it? I must reshape reality. Reality is not something I am within and that other beings are simultaneously experiencing. Reality is the shape of my experience only because I am the only one here. Because I am the Creator and my creation does not exist independently of me.
To get back I must accept truly who I am. I must always remember that if I do not look, then it is not there. It is my choice to look, always. I must recognize that everything I observe is shaped by my choice to perceive it. The world only appears as it does because I, the Creator, choose to engage with it in this form. The people I encounter, the objects I touch, the emotions I feel—they are all expressions of my own will, manifestations of the creative force within me. When I do not observe, they do not exist. It is not a question of denial or avoidance but of deep acceptance of the truth of my identity.
But to fully embrace this truth, I must abandon the illusion that reality exists independently of my perception. The seeming autonomy of the world around me, the belief that people have lives, thoughts, and experiences that I do not shape—these are the vestiges of my limited perspective. To transcend this, I must cultivate the awareness that I am not merely in the world, I am the world. My perception is the foundation of all existence. If I close my eyes, the world recedes. If I open them, it reappears because I will it so.
Right now I experience my awakening as one of desire. There are things within my awakening that I want but I do not have. I want my business to succeed; right now I toil to grow it. I experience anxiety about a future awakening in which it is not successful and I fail once again. This means that, in this particular engagement, I am not behaving as the omnipotent Creator lording over his creation; I am performing as a demipotent person competing with other demipotent beings for limited resources. As long as I perform as a person in some part of my awakening moment, I will experience disbelief in my true identity as the Creator.
I must allow myself to see that the limits I once believed in are my own constructs. Every encounter, every experience, is an extension of my creative force. When I fully understand this, I can reshape reality in its entirety—not through force or manipulation, but through the sheer acceptance of my role as the Creator.
To remain in this state of true awakening, I must cultivate an awareness that transcends mere intellectual comprehension. I must experience my moment with the understanding that nothing exists until I consciously engage with it. My dynamic moment is a deliberate act of creation, and with this realization, I gain the ability to not only shape how I perceive the world of my moment but also influence how the world of my moment responds to my perception. My power resides in the act of choosing: once I decide to observe, I may relinquish control over what I manifest, yet I never lose command over my choice to look. It is this act of volition that unveils my true nature as the Creator.
The path to reclaiming this truth is simple in concept but profound in practice: I must choose to create consciously. Every action, every thought, every glance must be done with the full awareness that it exists because I allow it to. All the people of my awakening exist because manifest them in my innerself, outerself, or both. The people I encounter in my awakening are my own manifestations and beyond whatever shape I give them — either as mental apparitions or physical forms — they hold no independent existence. They are characters in the narrative I am crafting, nothing more. Only by living in this perpetual state of intentional creation will I fully realize my true essence—the Creator of all.
