You should find what’s blocking your creativity.
The reason most people are not highly creative is because they live in a world that is limited by their minds. From the time we are born, we are taking pictures of the world. These pictures are limited by our experiences and by the fact that we are focused on where we fit into those pictures. Each person’s pictures are different, and so each person, though appearing to be living in the world, actually is living in his own mind world.
All the contents in our mind’s world have become the standard of how we perceive the world and discern what is good or bad, right or wrong, beautiful or ugly, and what is valuable or not. We have become slaves to those countless false standards. Thus, the way we see and perceive the world is not correct, but it is our own narrow perspective. Because of that, it is almost impossible to have more creativity since you are stuck inside your own limited mindset, which is your life lived. 🕗
When you take a close look at the truly great writers, artists, scientists, and inventors, you will see that to some extent, they were able to free themselves from this mind world. Just a couple of examples:
▪ Shakespeare: “We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little lives are rounded with a sleep.”
▪ Einstein: “The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self.”
When you can have a larger perspective and, with that larger perspective, you can touch people in a way that awakens that perspective in them, that is the essence of creativity. If you are stuck in your own mind world with your own narrow perspective, there is nothing you have to offer anyone. Who cares about your world? But when you can transcend that world and communicate with the higher nature of others, which lies buried in their mind worlds, then something resonates with them. That is the kind of communication that is called creative.
Then, where can you find creativity? If you get rid of your mind’s world, which is the illusion that you have created, then you will recover your original nature, which is the Truth that has been hidden from you. Then, you will have infinite wisdom and creativity because the original nature, Truth has no limit and can see and accept the world just as it is.
The way to achieve your original nature is to meditate. After you clear out the clutter in your mind and the things blocking your creativity, you will find wisdom and creativity.
In conclusion, please think about why you want to become creative.
Your creativity should benefit your community and humanity because this is our purpose in life.
When we develop our potential and creativity according to our talents, or what we want to contribute to humanity, we will have tons of creativity and wisdom after recovering our original nature.
The purpose of having ultimate wisdom and creativity should not be for the self to be recognized or idolized. It should benefit everyone in this world, and when you have that purpose in your heart, you will be able to discover infinite creativity, like the infinite universe. It will happen when you throw away all the false minds. This should be the true purpose of finding your creativity.
I wish the day would come when everyone could have limitless creativity to benefit each other and their community. I will share a short video clip that talks about the principle of how we can have creativity.
