The creative source

Our very origin is also the place from where creativity wells up. We are the vessel through which it can be poured. It flows, harnessed by our human-ness, our character or personality, and puts the stamp of uniqueness on anything we create. The resulting creation is an expression of the creative source. There are countless forms and formats, never ending, ever perpetuated if we choose.

Being creative

Wait patiently. Listen, poised and ready. Observe the creative force bubbling up inside until... Now. It floods forward, through the hands and onto a canvas. Or onto paper in the form of words. Or into speech, performance or invention.

We are all creative

And it is this creativity that makes and designs this life we live.

Creative Courage

The creativity that comes from ambition often has the taint of ego in it, no matter how majestic or laudable the production. Its contribution usually serves the general thrust of competition in the world. It titillates the movements of ego and often fosters jealousy and resentment

The creativity that comes from silence, from a quiet heart, feels different from that of ambition to both the creator and the observer. When the artist or the worker is out of the way, both the creator and the observer experience the art as simply a gift, an expression of the impersonal intelligence shared by all. The creator has no need to take credit for it, the observer no need to possess it.

from Passionate Presence: Experiencing the Seven Qualities of Awakened Awareness, p.21-22, by Catherine Ingram
