The Creative Flow in Expression

A while ago, (Feb 2026) I wrote about the metaphysical interpretation of the trinity, Mind, Idea and Expression, as the creative flow or movement that is God being God in us.
 
This flow is always happening, for we are here to be the creative expression of the divine: lovingly, wisely, creatively, joyfully, beautifully.
 
I build on this idea here, once more inspired by Matthew Fox’s book, Original Blessing. He writes in Theme 18, “Just as God is in the continual process of birthing God – the Spirit flows from the Father and the Son – so too are we humans to be in the process of birthing ourselves, our lives, our society, our cosmos.”
 
Rather than a dualistic consciousness, (God and me) we can live in this mystical understanding of the trinity. The perfect creative flow that is God, expresses through us as wonderful ideas which, when lived, serve all of life, not just us or humanity. Of course, they must be expressed – we are to live them. That is why we are here, after all. The outcome? Living a happy, fulfilled and meaningful, that brings more to this world than we take. This speaks to me a lot. Does it to you?
 
What I also love about this chapter is the emphasis on play and fun. We can take ourselves so seriously, get bogged down thinking our effort and hard work creates all the results. I certainly witness this in me, for I was brought up this way. It was early programming for me.
 
How about we look at the trinity in a new way: God extends as a divine idea, we create through our unique expression and then we play! Through art, singing, dancing, writing laughing, loving; whatever way frees the spirit and lifts us in joy.
 
Let us bring play back into our lives. Let us have fun – perhaps this is what the Sabbath energy could be – yes to rest and yes to play.
 
So, how do you play in your life?
 
To encourage the artistic nature in us, one of our wonderful Unity ladies will be offering an art gathering of work, encouraging us to get creative. Look out for more details in the June newsletter!
