Explorations of Becoming as Creative Force - Some philosophy

The things that are manifest in our present are the products of becoming, and this state of creation never ceases. We are the continual force of becoming, or rather, the continual creative force of becoming manifests us, in the present moment, in real time. From this perspective, we do not just merely create, or become, or do in any given moment, we are the creation, the becoming, that which is already done. When we know what and how we feel in response to the manifestations of our daily world and those others who are manifest along side us, we can begin to step into a more conscious pattern of thought, in order to become and manifest those moments that truly have meaning and purpose for us, in our particular contexts. These forces of creation that we are a manifestation of, we can become conscious of through our own processes of thought, imagination, visualizations, and emotions. Being conscious of our own becoming means being open to change as not happening around us, but us becoming and changing through time, for the purpose of creation, evolution and growth. In creating events consciously, our experiments, movements, expressions, connections, and new possibilities, as the descriptors of the event convey action and productivity (Jackson, 2010). This implies that we can have a greater sense of control that can only be accessed from this place of becoming.

Multiple perspectives create complex, intertwined, messy spaces. These are the spaces of creativity. “Fleeting and amorphous, it lives as a residue or resonance in an emergent assemblage of disparate forms and realms of life. Potentiality is a thing immanent to fragments of sensory experience and dreams of presence. It engenders attachments or systems of investment in the unfolding of things” (Stewart, 2007, p. 21). Creativity is essentially spontaneous, unpredictable, and complex. In creative becoming, potentiality is infinite, yet traditional discourses aim to define potential, which restricts the possibility for the next moment.
