Creativity
What unconscious does the artist bring into conscious expression?
The superficial – with always some hate, often more than the love,
or the Deep Unconscious of Pure, Pure Love?In a sense, it all depends on meditation. Did he, does he, meditate? And what Guidance does he receive from it?
It does not have to be meditation in
Creativity is not just the doing, but the taking in and then the doing. The chi, the spirit, being breathed in, and then being breathed out. An act of Creativity is a breath cycle of Amida. She breathes into us as Inspiration and then out again as Aspiration.
I have spent many thousands of hours researching and examining thousands upon thousands of musical performances, dances, paintings, photographs, sculptures, poems, and books.
For our acts of creativity to be truly therapeutic, they must arise out of a deep desire to conceive them, to incubate them, and then to deliver them into the world.
No work of art has ever transmuted hate into love. But that should be the primary Purpose of all artistic endeavors.
