CREATIVITY

Creativity is a function of the brain. With moral restraint you are able to see through the rationalizations that block you from thinking clear. With your new will, which you gained from exercising self discipline, you are able to make commitments and be true to those commitments. With commitment you are able to look at the world outside of you and develop an understanding. This understanding becomes your new identity. You, alone, outside of anybody’s approval, have an understanding of the world. With this new aloneness, you are able to determine what is. Now you are able to tap into creativity. The next step is to cut off all external input, by closing off your senses—sound, sight and touch. Any external input will direct your brain to react to that input. To reach creativity, this powerful tool in our brain, you need to sit alone and think. In solitude your thoughts come to you in pictures instead of words. Big pictures, big overviews which show you so much more than you were able to see with words. You are now in creativity, but you are stuck because you can’t express yourself in pictures, you need words to be able to communicate. You are in danger of losing the whole picture if any outside input interrupts you and breaks your train of thought. Now you learn to read the picture. Much like a detective you read the picture and realize the truth. When you are able to read the picture and decipher what the picture means, you are able to translate your new understanding in words. spiritandpoverty.com © Mitch Carter 2008 e-mail sprpov@yahoo.com
