Art, Creativity and Conciousness

Development of creativity

Being creative is necessary for every human being, not just to solve existing problems, but also for life to evolve into something more - and better. The creative person knows nature's laws as thoroughly as any scientist, and lets them unfold through his personality as fully as any artist. Creativity and consciousness development have therefore always been intimately connected.

The creative process

There is a deep interaction between creativity and higher states of consciousness. When we immerse ourselves in the creative process something profound happens. We experience the stillness within, the deep ocean of bliss, and from here creativity blossoms and our creation takes form.
