Creative Intuition

 

 

Your center, your spirit is creative. When you are in touch with your creativity, your true self comes alive. Other people are struck by your spirit. You are inspirational.

 

Creativity is a process. Your spirit develops the ideas. Intuition tells you the ideas. Then you act on the ideas and a creative product is born.

 

 

 

This process is familiar. First you Recognize your spirit and it’s creative power. Then you Trust your intuitive hunches. Next you Act on your intuition’s suggestions. Finally, you let go of your finished product and Watch what happens.

Before you can Act on your intuition, however, you need to know more about how to access it. Consider these three stories. They contain a key.

 

Isaac Newton, the scientist, got many of his ideas during a year of forced isolation.

 

Thomas Edison, the inventor, said "The English are not inventive people, they don’t eat enough pie. To invent, your system must be out of order…"

 

Rudyard Kipling, a famous writer, said that the key to his creativity was "not to think consciously", but to "drift".

 

Although each of these three geniuses were doing something different, there is one thing they have in common. None of them was focused directly on their problem before their great Ah Ha!

At these times, you can be physically doing one thing while you mind is somewhere else. This is often described as "zoning out" as an inner part of you is stiill.

Before The Great "Ah Ha!" everyone goes to this stillness even if they are doing something. For example, people can experience stillness while dreaming, daydreaming, watching television, taking a shower, eating pie, etc. Although the methods vary, afterwards most people "wake up" refreshed as if they had taken a min-nap. In this state your intuition is more available. Stillness bridges the gap between your intuition and your ability to actualize ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are only a creative person to yourself and others when you actualize your ideas. When you actualize any idea that is partially or entirely yours, it is an expression of your creativity.

 

List three creative things that you want to actualize. There are two criteria for your choices: (1) choose something you can accomplish in the near future and (2) something you want to do, not need to do.

Circle the one above that is the easiest for you to accomplish.

 

As I described, people experience stillness through dreams, daydreams, etc. Stillness can provide relief just by thinking about it.

 

For example, when Lynne feels stressed at work, she breaks from what she is doing, finds a quiet place, closes her eyes and pictures herself at the beach for 5 minutes. Even though she isn’t actually at the beach, she is practicing stillness and feeling refreshed.
