Creating Creativity...

Can you create creativity?

I have seen a number of posts bemoaning the fact that someone is having trouble coming up with a "New" idea.

First, is there such a thing as a "New" idea, or are most new ideas simply spins on already existing concepts?

Secondly, if you have a different idea, how do you develop "Newness" for the idea?

Newness is a concept that (in my opinion) can be highly over-rated. How often have we seen almost identical programs, ebooks, and especially articles that are almost identical (some are identical), or have the exact same information, but are packaged and spun differently. Many actually make money. I guess "Newness" is in the eye of the beholder.

In the real world we buy cars. How different are they really? Some are more reliable that others, some go faster and are more fun to drive (certainly a "Biggie"), but they all have engines, four wheels, and (most) all still use gasoline for fuel.

Are most things REALLY new, or do they just give the illusion of being new?

As with anything, some people just seem to have the "Gift" of seeing things in a new way. Others (myself included) work a little harder at it. One thing that I do is to look at several of these "New" ideas on the same subject and see what and how information is being presented. Then I look for what is missing. Maybe its humor. Maybe it lacks some specifics. Then I go from there.

So Warriors, what do you think?

    Hi, I'm Tom.

    You'd better sit down for this.........

    YES - You can create creativity

    Creation Is A Friction:


    I wont express to much detail here as your brain might explode, however, I can give you applicable examples as to the merit and weight of this statement.

    1. You or most anyone can dissolve a personally conjured attracted idea concerning a creativity vacuum.

    Creativity expression will always involve a particular state of mind psychology, whether externally induced artificially, or self-induced. The key to this awareness is that all states of mind are accompanied with correspondent states and/or rates of breathing. You do breath, don't you?

    Simply put, adjust your personal breathing rates to align correspondent psycho-physical reactions, to accommodate a preferred mental expression, WHICH YOU CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL' (anger, happy, hate, dislike, joy, giddiness, sneaky, embarrassment, elation, fear, satisfaction, wealth, CREATIVITY, etc). Thats right; you can feel wealth as well as creativity. You feel what you think. Action follows thought.

    Immediate acknowledgement of the resonant effect of this condition is varied, different, and individual. This is according to ones personal known truth about themselves and mental disavowence of petty man-made inventions of difference or separation. Everything Is Connected - Nothing Is Divorced from Itself. This is the fundamental principle I've detailed in my title book; "PFOSH - Wealth Beyond Reality".

    The main factor as I can surmise as the hindering factor to effectual realizations of this phenomenon, is 'Distraction'. As humans living within any given type of cultural society, we enable permissions to others as well as ourselves, to be distractions away from the available control of our own selves. Creativity is hampered this way, as we forget how to simply breath naturally and harmonically within the synchronized alignments of our thought in environment within the physics of this Mother Nature. In such case, we distract ourselves away from creativity...

    2. Creation is a differential friction of occurence between two irregular polarities. The best example I can offer, is to clasp your hands in front of you as if in ptrayer. While keeping the palms of your hands touching together, move your hand from the elbow in any chosen dirrection and keep moving them. What you are physically experiencing is a 'static conditio0n of onness behaving as a singular entity. One praying hand in arbitratrary motion of existence and just being without a prescription of creation.

    BUT, begin to rub your hands up and down while the clasp of intent for them is to be always touch-rubbing, and the 'friction' of your up and down motion 'CREATES HEAT'. Something from a static nothing occurs because a polarized intent of movement was added; and you can feel the heat as well as sense the subtle shift in your breathing as you continue to rub your palms together. Get It!

    To summarize this brief; you can always convert your personal psyche and therefore your breathing and correspondent feelings, to induce a 'recognized' feeling of creativity. At that point, you only need to express that translation as an action. The rest is up to your effort towards a goal of realization....

    There other levels of detail concerning creativity, but the fundamental answer is above.

    YES - You can create creativity.

    Hope this helps - Tom

    Yes you can create creativity!

    ”All that we are is the result of all that we have thought. It is founded on thought, It is based on thought” --Buddha, The Dhammapada

    When you look at our mind, then we have a conscious mind and an unconscious mind.

    The conscious mind is where we think and decide..... it is VERY subjective, and is formed(programmed) by the surroundings, tabus, parents, friends, culture etc.
    The conscious mind can keep track of 5-8 things at a time... no more

    The unconscious mind however, is only objective, it doesn´t know good or bad, and is merely processing things that we humans give it as input, without any filters.
    It also take care of all our physiological processes in the body.... breathing, blinking the eyes, controlling the body temperature etc.
    The unconscious mind keep track of EVERYTHING, (ALL input is stored, for the unconscious mind to use those inputs to produce new thoughts, ideas etc.)

    Therefore, in order to create creativity, you will have to do things other than you do today, in order to give your unconscious mind NEW inputs to process from.
    So if you for, say 2-3 weeks, decide to do all new things (read other type of literature, go other places, meet other people than you use to etc, then you will begin to notice, that the kind of thoughts you get from you unconscious mind will change.
    So in order to make et more creative, then do things you don´t do now in the creative section, and notice, how your creativity will rise.

    You can read much more of this in one of the most awful books I have ever read, ”Prometheus Rising”, by Robert Anton Wilson.

    You might even find it for free here: Robert Anton Wilson - Prometheus Rising

    To your creativity :-)

    Tom

    I really like the information and feedback. Some very good points and suggestions.
    I do also agree that creativity is a factual thing that is developed or created.
    There are a lot of people that say that "I am not a creative person", and yet they
    figure out how to manage a business, run a household, or even come up with an
    extra $300 for that weekend vacation. Everyone has, and uses, creative processes.
    Some people just take it a but more seriously and work at it harder.

    Thanks for the comments.
