Those who wage wars are those who are incapable of living in peace

Peace and happiness require renewal, nourishment, energy and hence vision, shadow work, and love

Creativity enables happiness, positivity, emotional intelligence aka maturity

Creativity helps with shadow work

Having normalized weirdness helps accepting and revealing what you are hiding to yourself

" Look at what we really are "

Holding a mirror up to society is in itself a creative act

Because most of the stories we are told are propaganda

Seeing reality induces change. The kind that makes us become a better version of ourselves. And that may be the most beautiful form of #creativity

The past is nothing to be glorified, it is full of errors on top of which some systems were built

To imagine the present creatively, start by imagining a different past

For instance one in which kings, or violence, never existed

Creativity owes nothing to the past

The past was built by old versions of humanity and is neither good nore bad

Valuing the past will weaken progress and evolution

Creations are creatures populating our world

Creatures our #children will have to live with

Learning #creativity means learning about the nature of the beasts we populate our societies with

Beware the desire to perform

Often it is the legacy of immature caretakers

Others performing in their name is the narcissists' magical solution to feeling weak

Reality is ok, being weak is beautiful

Be #creative instead of acting strong

Be creative

Also think about how to not say what you want to say

You can say " This is why I am happy " or " This is why I am not sad "

They are two wildly different things

Getting better at creativity means a lot besides art

It means getting better at imagining what could be happening in people's lives, and understanding their point of view

In a world in which creating digital images is as easy as defining a prompt, a part of the importance of how you do things disappears, and leaves more room to think about what to represent

Creativity is the essence of art, and now it makes sense for everyone to learn it

Trying and Succeeding are siblings, and also very different

Trying is an abundant and joyful resource, always ready to party with you

Spend some time alone with Trying to experience it's true power. It won't be itself if their sibling Succeeding is in the room

Creation happens for a version of you that will never exist

A You that can fly, go through walls, be immortal or live happily ever after

Connect to that utopia to be able to describe it

Do so by lowering your resistance to change

Be creative with how you shower the child you were with love

Give your inner child rich and diverse - even absurd and funny - compliments

Inner love shines a powerful light on the entirety of your thoughts

Simple inversions are the key to balancing creation

Imagine a ( caricatural) world where women wage wars, and men are stay-at-home dads

How would the homes be decorated?

What would the conflicts look like?

Creativity is about unlearning as much as it is about creating

If for you bread is made with wheat flour you'll have to go back to the basics ( the recipe ) and replace that flour with rice flour for example

Then find a way to make it work

Did yoga come before or after our ability to breathe?

After you answer that difficult question you can deduct if yoga created our ability to breathe..

Now try this one : is all the good in us derived from spiritual practice?

Does religion build the good in us or is it built *on* the good in us?

Build a personal space, your ability to have a personality depends on it

Not everyone has an inner dialogue and it's perfectly fine

Dialogue with parts of yourself can be a correspondence

Write a series of letters to parts of yourself and write their answers if that's your preference
May 8, 2025 at 10:35 AM
It's easy to be creative. You simply have to be nice to all the parts of you and all the ideas that come visit

Ask them to talk, and listen, then ask questions to understand better

Never judge

Enjoy

Sit at a restaurant, wait for the waiter to put plates in front of you. Taste every dish and finish the dishes you enjoyed until you are not hungry anymore

So many of us live our emotional lives like that until we realize recognizing , building and expressing our choices is an essential skill
May 6, 2025 at 10:52 AM
Creating is choosing life

Which means feeling like expressing your choices is a smart and valid move

Being creative starts with a connection to emotion

Let an emotion ( anger, fear, joy, love desire ) express its version of reality and help it do it better

" I want the body to dance " says joy
